I do have a photo printer but only have blank ink for it now. I've never actually looked but I think Avery makes and sells business card stock that you can print on at home. I don't know the price of this but it really may not be worth the time and effort. While simple is what I'm looking for, Vik I think yours is still too simple.

It's not something I'm going to do immediately, but I'm interested for future use. Maybe inside a couple weeks or something. I'm a total noob when it comes to printing on anything other than standard paper.

Yea, I guess it could depend on the game and how it handles a graphics stall like that while the driver is recovered. I don't think I've ever had it happen on Crysis.

ok spanky heres the thing. Make a simple business card thats all white and no borders. Then all you need to do is tell photoshop to print multiple copies of it on 1 page. Theres a setting for number of copies per page somewhere on there, not sure right now where. Then just print as many and u want and use one of those cutting boards (where you place a paper on the board and pull a lever down and cut the paper) to cut your paper into nice rectangles. By far the easiest way without going pro with colors and edge bleeding and shiz.

I was thinking about that but I don't have a cutting board =\ I wonder what the card paper is like if it's pre-cut with perforations or how they come. It may just be one of those things that's too complicated to do at home and cheap enough to have done at Staples. The problem is that I only wanted to print like 10 or so in case I wanted to change something or fancy it up.

In my experiences, it never crashed the game, it would just stall out for a few seconds while the OS recovered the driver then FPS would take a dive.

No offense with what's been posted but none of this is really what I'm looking for. Half my struggle in this is how to print it. With a few days, I could probably come up with a design that is ok for me but printing... I'm clueless. I have a PSD business card that's apparently all setup to print but I'm only seeing 1 per page which wastes a lot and is gonna be a pain to cut. I may just go to Staples and see what they charge...

*EDIT*
This is what I'm looking at:

Not the design but how to print it...

I just thought I would share something I've known for a bit. The other day I was trying to get a game to run properly (Mirrors Edge in triple-wide) and it seemed like no matter what I did, it ran fine but with shitty FPS. I knew I had run it fine prior but some configs got messed up so I just kinda gave up. Since I wanted to play Mirrors Edge and got nothing but problems, I gave up and settled for a different game: Splinter Cell Conviction. Except, when I loaded the game, the FPS was also terrible. This is an instant clue for me since I've been there and done that; my graphics card crashed. One of the cool things in Vista & 7 is that instead of tossing you a BSOD, Windows can attempt to recover a crashed driver. I don't know why specifically but whenever that happens with an nVidia card and newer drivers, the clocks on the card revert to a safe value (maybe for overclocking crashing?) which is something like 300mhz or 200mhz for the core. A simple restart puts your clocks back to normal but I thought I would share this in case anyone had weird issues ever.

*EDIT*
Depending on what you're doing, you may see an error like this:

Although something was freaking out (probably cuz of the beta driver) and mine kept crashing every 5-15 seconds or so just now and it didn't revert the clocks to the 2D settings. If you ever come across this, check GPU-Z in the Sensors tab and see what your clocks are.

Well if Google wants YouTube to compete with Hulu, they should just buy Hulu. Problem solved.

Fuck that, Google should just buy Hulu and re-skin the site to make it look like YouTube :)

I have a meyer (or meier?) lemon tree and it's inside in a pot and grows lemons slowly. There's 4 on it now but they're green and have been green for many months. Although, up until recently it was in a small pot and had bug issues which both have been fixed and it's quite happy now.

Older ADSL standards can deliver 8 Mbit/s to the customer over about 2 km (1·25 miles) of unshielded twisted-pair copper wire. As of 2009, the latest standard, ADSL2+, can deliver up to 24 Mbit/s, depending on the distance from the DSLAM. Distances greater than 2 km (1.25 miles) significantly reduce the bandwidth usable on the wires, thus reducing the data rate. ADSL loop extenders increase these distances substantially.

Again, I'm 1.5 miles away. With the info above, you're talking about 1-3mbps as long as you're closer than 1.25 miles. I'm probably going to be getting 4mbps. I think what my ISP is doing out here is great, I think more rural areas should have something like this. First Step provides coverage for about 100 miles north to south and 80 miles east to west.
