Except at some point along the way, higher levels turn into a debuff. :laugh:

Don't they need an acid treatment for the pattern to be made apparent?

Indeed, look at the sharpened edge, no pattern is discernable.

Thats a laptop BIOS issue, but a bootloader on the internal drive, point at external

It is real nice, and it wasn't so long ago that I would collect my own fire wood and had a hand axe of similar size, but it was forged as one piece, so the head would never work loose from the handle.

Yesterdays Newegg Shell Shocker ad showed these on sale for $96 after rebate and special deal. I bought one and it came out to $116 plus a $10 dollar rebate from Seasonic. I questioned the difference and was given the added link for a $20 rebate instead of the $10. It looks like the rebate still applies until midnight PST this evening. I thought I'd pass the info along, $99 (after rebate, the extra $3 off was yesterday only) for a Seasonic 750 watt Focus Platinum with a 10 year warranty isn't bad at all.
