That's true. I had a t-shirt and a light jacket on today, and I was sweating. Of course, I was shoveling the snow at the time, but it wasn't a whole lot of work. I can stand from about 0-110F without any problems, but I actually do prefer the heat to the cold. The only time the heat really...

How's the game?

Here is a more detailed article on the subject.

An Air Force tracking camera videotaped the shuttle over New Mexico and showed heavy wing damage.

The shuttles are all the originals, although they have had major upgrades done to them. They take one shuttle out of service, current the Discovery, for about a year to do the modifications and upgrades. There were the original five (from oldest to newest): Enterprise (a test vehicle, and never...

Maybe not.

There is a Soyuz capsule attacted to the station already for emergency exits, so that won't be a problem. Crew replacements and supplies can also be brought up by other Soyuz capsules, if need be. The shuttle would be needed to raise the orbit of the station, but that shouldn't be needed for at...

Mandrake usually has about 4 betas and 3 Release Candidates before it goes final, so there is still a while to go before I would try it again if I were you. There time between betas is also very short (about 2 weeks), which doesn't seem like enough time to me to find and fix all of the bugs in...

In Outlook, go to View->Current View->By Conversation Topic.

Does this only pop up when using IE? Is that why I haven't come across this?

131. You sometimes get paid in used computer hardware, instead of cash... and you like it. 114a. You're on vacation and you get antsy if you don't check all of them ten or twelve times a day.

70 people went to the hospital after coming in contact with debris seeking more information, but there were no injuries reported from them. There is a real danger though. Here is what the chemicals can do to a person.

Armageddon was supposed to air on FX last night and this afternoon, but was replaced by one of the Aliens movies. A space shuttle (I believe the Columbia) is destroyed by an asteroid in the beginning of that movie.

The final report on the fate of the Challenger crew.

Unfortunately, some of them did survive the explosion. When they reviewed the video and radar, a piece believed to contain the crew was seen hitting the water about 3 minutes after the explosion. From the wreckage that was recovered, they could tell that some of them had used their emergency...

The crew.

I woke up to this bad news today. The Space Shuttle, with 7 aboard, appears to have broken up during landing someplace around the Dallas-Ft. Worth area. It was travelling at 12,500 MPH at 200,000 feet in altitude at the time. http://www.cnn.com/2003/TECH/space/02/01/shuttle.landing.ap/index.html

It uses UTC time (aka GMT), not local time to keep track of dates.

You were right, LiamC, and I was wrong. The Clawhammer (Athlon 64) won't be out until September after all. The Sledgehammer chips are to be released on April 22.

Chimney cleaners like calling me up as well. I don't have one, either. :) The only reason I bother to answer my phone anymore is so I don't miss those really important calls that you absolutely can't miss (I have one of those just this Monday), otherwise I'd let my answering machine pick up...

I agree they haven't done anything close to what is possible with their content since the merger went through, but you have to remember that 85-90% of their custormers are on dialup. The quality of streaming media at 56k just sucks. Even at 300k, most of the video on the web is far too blurry to...

I switched from Mozilla to Phoenix a few months ago.

I think he means web forums such as this one, and not newsgroups.

AOL Time Warner posted the largest ever loss in U.S. corporate history for 2002, including $44.9 Billion in the last quarter alone. Most of the loss is a write down for the devaluation of AOL since the merger. Ted Turner is also stepping down as Vice Chairman, and he's rumored to want to buy CNN...

Telemarketers are suing to try to stop the FTC from making the national do not call list. Somehow, I knew they wouldn't agree to it without a fight.

I'm Windows XP. :roll:

Football in HDTV is absolutely AMAZING! Cablevision finally started to catch up to other cable and satellite companies and started offering HDTV just this past Thursday, so my parents were able to get it in time for the game. Seeing it on a 57" screen is just jaw-dropping. I can't wait for...

Right here. Just type in any address into the "Wayback Machine" and pick a date you want to see.

There's another person with the username SteveC folding for a different team. I can't access the page right now, but if you look here, you'll see my results on top, and his results on the bottom. This page will show my correct F@H ranking, but the Statsman page can't differentiate between two...

There's also some news about Pheonix development here.

That's being kind. The half-time shows are absolutely horrible. Here are the rules from the NFL.com site, and a more comprehensive overview can be found here. You're right about no one knowing all of the rules, not even the refs do (see my second post in this thread). A major reason for the...

Dozer, At least your team didn't blow a 24-point 3rd quarter lead, and then have the referees miss a blatant pass interference call that should have given them another play. Talk about heartbreaking.

I don't like either of these teams, but it still should be an interesting game.

I forgot to mention, "24" is also a very good show that I'm watching this year. Unfortunately, because of the premise, it makes it hard to miss an episode and not be lost, which is part of the reason why I didn't watch the first season. I'll probably end up renting/buying the season 1 DVDs when...

Somehow, I knew there would be more Buffy fans here. "Hush" and "The Body" are my favorites episodes; there're just so much higher quality episodes than your typical show. Their DVD release schedule is just stupid, though, but TV studios count on the syndication money. The Sopranos, of course...

They only picked up the reruns; there won't be any new episodes after Fox finishes airing this season's (which are actually leftovers from last season). Yeah, you can get away with a lot on basic cable with a TV-MA rating. I've seen a couple of episodes of it, and thought it was OK.

Microsoft, sitting on US$43.4 billion in cash, will start giving some of it back to stock holders on March 9. They also announced a stock split to take place on January 27. Even with the dividend, analysts still expects its cash pile to grow: The full story can be found at Reuters.

Maybe it's Carl Lewis who has to realize how much of a fool he is making himself out to be by being an analyst in a show like this. It's not all bad news in TV land. The Simpsons were renewed for two more seasons. But, I'm still mad at Fox for cancelling Futurama.

Somes scientists from France are claiming that two fungal diseases could wipe out bananas worldwide within 10 years unless something drastic is done. Because the bananas grown are sterile, they can't reproduce to mutate and fight off the diseases. The whole story is here. What will Tea find to eat?

It won't. It is surprising that a FAH benchmark hasn't been made yet. How hard would it be to make a reliable one?

Gigabyte does make nice P4 boards, although I haven't used anything passed the 845E chipset. The problem with P4 boards right now, is that Intel is switching to an 800MHz FSB in a couple of months (Springdale chipset? I can't keep up with all the code names), making future upgrades with current...

There is no uninstall, at least not on XP. According to Microsoft, you're supposed to create a restore point, and use that if you want to remove it. Of course, if you disable System Restore, you won't be able to uninstall it.

Some pictures for the Flash-impared: Picture 1 Picture 2 Picture 3 Picture 4 Picture 5 Picture 6 Picture 7

Not bad, but personally, I can't wait for the RX-8 (another Flash only site), although the Nissan 350Z is also very nice.

That's strange. It worked for me a few minutes ago, but now it doesn't.

Where'd you find this? It looks like it's IR video from a Predator, since it's travelling far too slow to be from the AC-130 itself. I'll have to show this to my Dad, since he was trained to call in close air support while in the Marines (fortunately, never in combat). It's changed a lot in the...

Just as quickly as it appeared, the Total Team Adjustment has dissappeared from the Statman page. One other note, we're over 5000 points a week as a team, I think for the first time, and 32nd in weekly production. We seem to be rather consistent in the overall ranking, even though our output has...

Eugene finally put up the review for the SATA Barracuda here. Other than the fact that it's their first SATA drive reviewed, it's not a particularly exciting drive. Hopefully, it won't take too much longer before other SATA drives arrive on the market. Steve

The only differences are I'm using Vdub 1.4.13 and not using Divx's deinterlacing. I suspect the latter may be the culprit, as I don't remember having any difficulty with earlier versions of Vdub, and I've never used Divx's deinterlacing.

Does anyone know what the "Total Team Adjustment" is at the bottom of the Statsman page? I haven't noticed it before.
