<p>Hey guys. Anyone know when we find out who our roommates are?</p>
<p>they’re mailed on august 22</p>
<p>hah. i hated my roommate back in college.</p>
<p>pray that you don’t get one who snores really loud, or a jackass that watches tv and plays mp3s all the time… and uses AOL instant messenger with those annoying sounds… bliiing bluuung. bliiiing. bluuung.</p>
<p>bring a baseball bat so that you can smash his/her computer screen if he/she does that.</p>
<p>
then they will use AIM on their phone! i suppose you should bring duct tape too so you can tie them to a tree. ;)</p>
<p>and i watch TV and play mp3’s all the time. what are you trying to say?!</p>
<p>lol, but i have a TV tuner, not a TV…and i use headphones when i’m on my computer. :D</p>
<p>haha make sure they do it on a headphone. hey VTEC so u watch TV cable on ur comp? what is needed to get it to work?</p>
<p>yep, you need a “TV tuner”. theres internal ones for desktops and external (USB 2.0) ones for laptops. a lot of new computers come with one…if you’re shopping for a new computer, look for a windows “Media Center PC”.</p>
<p>try to get one with “hardware MPEG encoding”. this will let you record TV shows without eating up CPU power…very useful for older/slower computers.</p>
<p>heres a thread we had on TV tuners
