Something my dad forwarded to me, and I wanted to share... :lol:

A point well-taken. In a thread on another forum, it was discussed that a ship (if you can even call it that--more like a movable island) of that size would have difficulty maneuvering out of the path of incoming storms. Indeed, a terrorist's wet dream. And they said the Titanic was...

Interesting concept: http://www.freedomship.com/ Although I'm not sure about the feasibility at this point...

For my part, I'll say that I haven't produced any results in many weeks. I've been doing some shuffling around, re-built a system, etc. I now have my main XP-1800+ up and running, along with a PII Celeron dual running Linux. I hope to add a PIII-866 in a couple of weeks. I am also running a...

Yeah, that sounds about right! LOL :lol:

I just installed Lycoris, and here are my impressions: -Very easy to install--went very easily on the dual-Celeron -Basically KDE configured to look like Windows, with some menus that simplify configuration of hardware, network, etc. -Supports Folding@Home -Overall, a decent Linux...

Here is a fairly quick source for download: http://www.linuxiso.org/distro.php?distro=26 Just thought I'd share!

I have Linux installed on one of my machines, and Windows XP on another...I keep finding myself gravitating toward the Linux machine. It just feels right... :) My web server runs better, is easier to configure, and a million times more stable than Windows XPee. Perhaps I'll be a 100% convert...

Any experience, suggestions on a Micro-ATX case. I have a mobo with a PIII-866 processor sitting at home--just needs a case. I've researched several different cases, but wanted to get some other opinions in order to make up my mind. Thanks in advance!

Thought this was a cool shot:

Note to self: Bring Gore-tex rain jacket :) Yes, Cliptin, you can borrow my other rain jacket :roll: What are your average temps this time of year?

Neither one of us is... :)

Very clever...Reading the comments on the forum that time provided the link to is quite amusing, as well. Hard to believe that they took it so seriously. Maybe we're all just warped enough to see the joke and enjoy it. :)

Wow! Okay, for a guy used to playing Rogue Spear, Team Fortres Classic, and Ghost Recon, this is quite a switch! I played Quake II way back when, but I don't think it was even this fast-paced. I've played for the last couple of hours without realizing the time...and I'm WORN OUT! Good game.

I grew up in Melrose Park, a suburb of Chicago, and most of my friends were Hispanic, black, Italian, Indian, and Polish. While this particular community was blended, there were many, many ethnic communities all over the Chicago area, sort of like a small country within a city. I believe that...

I'm as patriotic as any American around. I take great pride in our nation, and I felt the mixture of sorrow, anger, and disbelief that everyone else felt. I feel badly for the families and victims, but there comes a point in time where you have to look forward and heal, and I simply don't...

My avatar, unfortunately. leaves unsightly diesel stains when it decides to relieve itself...very difficult to clean up :) The track marks aren't so hot, either. But diesel smells a whole lot better than cat piss!

My pleasure.

Those blasted avatars...never do what you tell them to. Mine has a bad habit of relieving itself in the living room...very messy :D Anybody have any tips on toilet-training your avatar?

Try this one, Slo...should be smaller I tried it as my avatar, and it worked OK...magic of Photoshop

You know, that really wouldn't be a half-bad avatar, if you cropped it down some :idea:

Funny, never noticed the resemblance before...heh :lol: P.S. Sorry, Cliptin, I just couldn't resist (the dangers of posting your picture on the Internet)

I knew I had a picture of Cliptin testing this thing out around here somewhere....

That's exactly the site that I have been looking through. There are so many different options, I thought I would see if anyone had used any of the ones listed. Guess I'll try several of the most promising and see which one I like the best. Thanks, Handruin!

Incredimail is free using adware...I personally like to keep my system free of adware...anybody else?

Anybody have any suggestion on a decent php web stats app. I've seen many out there, but wondered if anyone here has any experience with a simple, yet complete package. I'm running Apache web server with MySQL and php. Thanks in advance!

I found this quite humorous: :oops:

ROFL :lol:

For the most part, moves for me have been positive, even fun. There's something about a fresh move to a fresh place. It always allows me to clean out junk that I don't need, and re-organize my things--plus I always find stuff that I thought I'd lost long ago. Friends and family have usually...

I've recently developed and posted my web site (under development) and used FrontPage to get the ball rolling: http://planetdozer.dyndns.org I am learning to write HTML, and eventually plan to rewrite the code by hand, as FrontPage has pretty much made chop suey of the code for the site. The...

No really, he did--I was there. :) And I must fess up...I own a 1996 Grand Cherokee, which I do take off road as often as I can. Backpacking, paddling, and mountain biking all sometimes take place in difficult to reach places, and the vehicle has made both transportation of gear and getting...

Quite funny...one of my favorites quotes from this highly quotable movie. Of course, my sense of humor is as warped as yours, Clip...

Fun With UNIX If you type these in from the csh (c shell): in Unix you really do get these responses. % make love Make: Don't know how to make love. Stop. % got a light? No match. % sleep with me bad character % man: Why did you get a divorce? man: Too many arguments. % make 'heads or...

If you haven't seen it already, this looks to be quite a promising new game from Ubi Soft. Very cool trailer here: http://www.splintercell.com/ Out in November...

Hey Clocker--Did you ever get anywhere with the Mandrake problem? I'm now running a machine with a full Mandrake install, and I'd like to run F@H on it, but same thing...just sits there. I kind of like the way Mandrake is set up, but I guess I could load Red Hat if necessary. Any fixes?

I recently replaced a power supply for a friend on a Presario. I ordered the correct supply (non-Compaq because it was less expensive), and low and behold, when I went to put the supply in the power plug hole was in the wrong spot! 10 minutes with my Dremel solved that problem in a hurry...

Q: How do the words to that Talking Heads song go? :) A: A bizarre form of entertainment.

My business is not selling computers, but rather doors and windows. We obviously share the same types of customers, though, because my co-workers and I can completely relate to every one of these types. Here's my contribution: Type 15: The Interrupter Akin to the thinks they know everything...

Here's some info on it... http://www.epinions.com/content_1893638276 ...sounds quite tasty Jake!

Okay, I take it back...there is ONE beer that I really enjoy that's made here in the U.S. Quite a tasty brew. Comes in several varieties: http://www.redhook.com

I'm not getting a connection either...it just keeps looking for a connection. Perhaps my NIC not compatible?

We have a cat at work (yes, at work!) named Tuffy. He arrived to us with a shaved behind and stitches in both back legs. He had been hit by a car, leaving both of his back legs broken. The owners of our business rescued him from the middle of the road (he had been left abandoned), and had him...

One of my favorite morning teas, along with Twinings Irish Breakfast...I usually drink a good green tea or Oolong after lunch. I bought some smoked Oolong tea that had a very unique but tasty flavor. Not fond of Sammy...in fact, I don't think I really like any American beers, and I live here...

Sound like fun...let's start it again...

Okay, how 'bout this: "The little cottage I’m staying in looks like it was planted between the hills, as well as the other dwellings around it. They are as much a part of the countryside as the ploughed potato fields and the turf bogs. I can smell the scent of turf fire under the door, and I...

Most of my grammar instructors in both College and High School would have disapproved of all the commas--but I like it. It communicates that the author is describing one particular item, and the thought is kept together. Don't get me wrong, I'm thankful for the instruction that I received in...

I have a Logitech Cordless keyboard and mouse. It's definitely not as sturdy as my IBM corded keyboard, but the lack of cords sure is nice. Works great with my KVM switch. Two taps of the CTRL key and I'm on my other system....

Answered my own question: http://www.odie.org/chai/whatisit.html It actually sounds a lot like a version of Sherpa tea that I make: Orange spice flavored tea, milk, and a little sugar. Quite tasty on cold backpacking trips!

Cliptin, my coffee-house challenged friend, we DO have a Starbucks. It's inside Barnes and Noble. However, I'm not sure that it is a full-service, full menu place. I've never had Chai...have to try it out...what is it exactly?

Quite right, Mr. Anderson. :D
