I've been very happy with Vista 64. Then again, I don't use much old software, I don't use hardware with poor driver support, and I enjoy tweaking settings and such to get the best possible performance. Vista's stability seems to be the exact same as 2000/XP to me: it's about 99.9% stable with...

Lately I have been really into Therion, now my favorite music group. Symphonic metal, vaguely similar to Nightwish but I find Therion to have a lot more variety between songs. They seem to be largely unknown in the US, but bigger over in Europe. Anyone else like them? If you have no idea...

The original post from Liam included "What if we had totally polluted/destroyed/worn out/overpopulated Earth to the point where we had to find another planet and this was the only choice?" Evolution is all about the strong surviving and, in some cases, the weak dying out. It sounded like you...

So, are you against evolution? If we are the stronger species, by rights we should dominate the lesser species to insure our survival. What do you think about owls killing rats and mice? Should we exterminate the owls so that they do not eat at the expense of other animals just because they can?

I really liked amores perros.

I still have my VW Jetta GLI. I still love it, but for monetary reasons I'll be selling it as soon as I can find a new place.

Thats exactly the info I was looking for, based on that I can estimate what they are using. Thanks.

Most of them just have a single drive, not heavily used. I think I see the calculator you are talking about, but it doesn't give me an estimated power usage, it just tells me which UPS I should buy.

I'm trying to estimate how much power is really used by all the computers in a rack, and I'm wondering if anyone has an idea as to what a typical 1u server uses. I am aware that usage and the computer specs vary, so I am just interested in an "average", or even a range. Typical computer is a...

Thats funny, because while my location says Fairfax, I am actually living in McLean now and working in Rosslyn. I am looking at places as close to work as possible, for obvious reasons. I'm leaning to sharing a place at this point. I certainly could afford to get my own apartment, maybe not a...

It's a VW Jetta GLI. I know I pay a little more for having a V6 and such, but most of my insurance is due to my driving record. Changing cars isn't going to reduce it that much.

That sounds exactly like I intend to live. The way I see it, I can get along fine. It seems like most of the time I have to go places on the weekends are to care for my car, go figure. Another part of the time I'm going out with friends drinking and so I shouldn't be driving anyway. All I...

Ahh, well being in a guild helps. Also the ease of the game at less than max level. For example, most of the instnace dungeons are designed to require a party of 5, but my warrior and my druid friend can duo most of them fine. It takes a little longer, but we get a lot more xp and loot so...
