[QUOTE=Nsybouts;38644706]And we we think we are the "Green" ones.[/QUOTE] Well, this one takes the cake. [quote]The 65,000 square foot array consists of a 573-kW system, built with approximately 2,548 panels. The IKEA West Sacramento solar program will produce approximately 795,500 kWh of clean electricity annually. That is the equivalent of reducing 630 tons of carbon dioxide, eliminating the emissions of 109 cars or powering 69 homes yearly.

That's impressive.[/QUOTE]Nice, it's only a 15min drive for me. I live in Downtown Sacramento, I actually just went there and got a few hundred bucks of stuff for my new apartment. And, I didn't know it did either till I saw the picture honestly.

Because you have no room anywhere else

[QUOTE=ClaBrendon;38644873]Because you have no room anywhere else[/QUOTE] How dare you. We have plenty of open space bro!

[QUOTE=Nsybouts;38641325]The Portland Oregon IKEA is apparently the most profitable in North America. Fucking Huge too. [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/qbGS6.jpg[/IMG] You see the [B]finest women[/B] there too.[/QUOTE] Do you have to assemble them yourself?

Ikea is like the best place

Closest Ikea store is over 120 miles away.

[QUOTE=cdlink14;38647224]Do you have to assemble them yourself?[/QUOTE] I feel slightly obligated to make some kind of 'insert rod A into blah blah blah' comment. Anyways, "Post Your Desk V8: Post Your Ikea!"

[QUOTE=Terragen;38637629]You...you're my neighbor? I live in Rochester...[/QUOTE] Baldwinsville right here! And Fullstreak lives near me too.

i still think Baldwinsville is a funny name

It's only called that because this was considered one of the easiest spots to cross the Seneca River, so Dr. Baldwin set up his house here on the shores and made a way across the river. They also built one of the locks for the Erie Canal - specifically Lock 24 - right off the shore of his property.

[QUOTE=LufOo;38639419]It really looks like every Ikea I've ever seen. Here's a little ugly cell pic of my desk: [IMG]http://imgur.com/1VoZ8.jpg[/IMG][/QUOTE] That picture always gets me.

This is where I work [img]http://i243.photobucket.com/albums/ff288/st0rmforce/2012-11-30095236-1.jpg[/img] There's so much shit in this picture I thought I'd point some things out. 1. Two dreadful satellite boxes that we did some work on through the summer. Don't buy these. 2. Some crappy ancient monitor/tvs that have been put on the end of my desk for some reason. 3. My TV, currently off. I probably should have put something on it for the photo. It's a Philips....something-or-other 4. A book about android development, which has been sat there for about a month. I don't work on android stuff. 5. A development platform from one of our customers. It's a freeview HD box which crashes about once a day. We test loads of stuff with it, because the fools gave us their source code and a development interface. 6. A deadly weapon. Useful to keep management away. 7. About 100km of cables. Coax, HDMI, composite, usb, power, ethernet and a serial cable. 8. My beautiful monitor. A Samsung SyncMaster 2243NW. Yeah...um...I look at it and it shows me what's happening inside my computer. 9. A big Sharp development platform. I did some porting work on it about 2 years ago and they've never asked for it back. It's basically a huge TV with most of the connectors ripped out and a serial interface soldered on. One nice thing about it, is that it boots from a USB stick. 10. My PC, lurking in the dark where it belongs. It's a Lenovo thinkcentre running win7 pro. It's good for putting your feet on, it's nice and warm. 11. My throne. There's a lever that I accidentally press with my leg which make the whole thing tip back like a dentist's chair. Also the gas is gone, so it only goes down. 12. A wonderful motivational poster: Quality Is The Result Of Care [url]http://www.motivational-posters.co.uk/productimages/pen_fs.jpg[/url] BTW, the vertical white line is a phone cable which dangles from the ceiling. I find it funny that a poster saying to take care in your work is slightly obscured by a cabling botch-job. 13. I felt I should point out the poster of Einstein quotes. [url]http://cache2.allpostersimages.com/p/LRG/60/6071/H6XD100Z/posters/albert-einstein-quotes.jpg[/url] We like pointless posters. Everything else is just random shit that we use.

[QUOTE=altern;38640707]well batavia actually. So like exactly between buffalo and rochester[/QUOTE] That's hilarious, I literally am always in Batavia, my dad owns a business in town and my grandparents live nearby.

[QUOTE=mastermaul;38633895]That's a Micke, right? Why does it look like it's sagging? And why does it look so tall? Just got your chair down?[/QUOTE] It's my camera I think, also the monitors aren't perfectly straight so it looks even more warped, and yeah the chair is lowered down. [editline]30th November 2012[/editline] [QUOTE=Macneil_bmx;38633231]I now want to get a whiteboard behind my computer. I also love your old keyboard, I have a really ancient one but I don't want to change because I use my multimedia keys a lot.[/QUOTE] They're really cheap. I believe I payed less than $15 for the larger board I cut it from (It's about a third of the total size.)

[QUOTE=ClaBrendon;38648235]that's why you have parking on top of buildings[/QUOTE] Not really.. The Ikea was placed on ground that was available and being sold. It's not as if they tried to build the town around Ikea, they took what space was closest to the town centre. We have a HUGE area west of there that's empty but they decided to build it right in the City Centre understandably. I think the huge empty space that I mentioned (near the motorway) is going to be an Industrial park. It's more convenient to have a multi story car park on top anyway in my opinion. Instead of taking up more acres of land, you have the car park occupying the same space as the building.

[QUOTE=jeimizu;38657768] The 2009 case had wheels, not sure why they weren't attached in that picture. [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/nreW0.png[/IMG][/QUOTE] I would've been scared as fuck about it falling over the table :O

[QUOTE=Nsybouts;38641325]The Portland Oregon IKEA is apparently the most profitable in North America. Fucking Huge too. You see the finest women there too.[/QUOTE] I'm pretty sure my local IKEA (Kalmar) is bigger, and it's probably one of the smaller IKEA's in Sweden.

The Ikea in Kungens Kurva is closest to me, just south-west from Stockholm. It's the largest Ikea in the world (or was, it was in 2002), with 55000 m² in total, where 8000 m² is for exhibition :v: [img]http://f2.braxupload.se/ysb3t7.png[/img] I think the Ikea-building is 5-7 stories high and the parking house to the left is 4-5 stories high :v:
