I recently received my new custom "Mi Adidas" shoes. I got a pair of the new adiPure III Indoor in white, with the stitched-in German flag (Gotta represent for the upcoming WC :)). I had to get these custom, because they don't make the new adiPure III in white as an indoor version yet. They're awesome though. As with all the good Adidas shoes, they are made from kangaroo leather, so they are very comfortable.

Those are indoor cleats? How much did they run you and how did you custom order them/

Wow that is it?

I think I will wait to hear how good/bad it is haha before I jump!

Me too but it would seem even Schneider doesn't know himself (as I did previously ask). I'll wait to read about them from people who know drives, AnandTech. :D

Decrepit, those look great. Wouldn't mind getting those for my ACDs.

They really look sharp. I've got the previous generation at work, and it's good that it's behind the monitor. It's industrial in all of the bad senses of the word.

The new ones are industrial in all the good senses of the word. I'd venture a guess that an Apple person helped design them, but they're actually very inexpensive for the quality, functionality and build. They did a LOT of work getting them so you can adjust them with a finger's lightest touch. No tools involved.

I considered an ACD, but I use HPs at work, and they are so very nice. I'm not a photographer, so I can't speak to the color correctness. But for spreading out, it's just the best.

It's cheap because it only has 4GB of SSD and Seagate uses that smartly to speed up important things like start times of apps and boot-up times.
It takes a few start up of your computer for the drive to learn and collect data.. (someone correct me if I'm wrong)

I still didn't get my hands on it because I ordered from Amazon.

Keep us updated when you do get the drive. Amazon prime is looking very tempting for me right now, but I must resist.

Just ordered the Momentus XT also. Can't wait for it to arrive.
I always use the same set of applications so the 4gb SSD (cache...kinda?) should be quite beneficial.

Also ordered 20ft of 7/16ID tubing to clean-up and redo the cooling loop on my desktop.

I was about to buy a Chrome Citizen, and instead walked out of the store with these:

Better purchase overall I imagine. The BlackBurn Fleas are expensive, but have the best brightness/size ratio I've seen. They're tiny, but could probably blind landling airplanes.

Also, Power Grips are terrible! Get proper clips & straps if you don't want to go clipless.

Hmm that is interesting. I wonder how it knows to use the SSD to boot if the OS is not on that partition. Shrug. Technology these days.

This drive is basically what I do with my 80gb SSD Optibay/500gb Main set up.

My boyfriend loves his chrome bag. He just got the pro series. It's so big, looks like I can fit inside. X_x

The Pro series bags are nice. But I can't really justify owning a super nice messenger bag. Most people can't. Sure, many of them are larger than my backpack, but that's no fault of backpacks as a whole. I haven't got the need for a messenger bag, which is meant for quick access. They're not as comfortable as backpacks, and if I want more space, my money is probably better put towards a new two-strap bag.

Nowadays people wear messenger bags just to be ironic poseurs. :rolleyes: I can see the appeal though. I nearly bought one, after all.

what disease is the marijuana aiming for? How hard it is to get a prescription if you don't actually need it?

I think there are doctors that just write perscriptions for weed as long as you have cash. No legit illness needed, but i think its only cali and denver that medical is legal.

nOrml.org has the legalities for Marijuana from state-to-state. Makes for an interesting read.
