In my last apartment, I lived on the second floor. One of the tenants of the unit below me was a Hispanic family. Three adults and four children in a small single-bedroom apartment. The first thing they bought for their new place was a Wega TV and surround-sound speaker set. They always...

Isn't this because Intel needs to do this and AMD does not? Intel chips are getting physically large.

BitComet is a bad client. Don't use it.

SEP

Is it really useful to do?

I'd blame 'em too. How many times has someone had a Western Digital drive fall out of an array?

So this is a CRT with an electron gun for each and every phosphor?

Anybody know of a review of the 500GB model? I'm trying to compare this to the 7k500 and can't find any honest information.

Sounds like a good idea to me.

Did anyone check page two?

You're right... if a disk starts it's life as a basic disk, then it's still bootable.

Someone didn't read the compatibility notes.... You have to buy a backplate for Gigabyte boards because Gigabyte expects you to get one with your heatsink. They're available on the Thermalright site.

Was the new OS install booting from the old disk? If so, I'm curious as to how you were able to covert your system volume to dynamic, since they are expressly not bootable.

All of the optimised Firefox builds that I've seen have some sort of patching, i.e. changing the code to make it work better on the target chips. That's at least a little more than just compile optimization. The problem that I'm seeing with browsers is that the latency of the Internet often...

Somebody should let them know that PDF is editable....

Here's a good source: http://www.pryan.org/mozilla/firefox/ I downloaded a couple of different builds. Right now, I'm testing mmoy's. I noticed that it was very fast opening twenty or so tabs simultaneously at start, but am hard-pressed to find differences in rendering individual pages at a time.

Buy now, enjoy now. Perhaps I'm unusual in this, but when I upgrade processors, I get a new motherboard, as well. Stuff changes too quickly these days to think that you're going to be able to make a CPU-only upgrade; if you actually can, call it a bonus. Unless you want a particular...

Don't they call these luggables? You're not exactly going to get all of that stuff in a notebook form factor.

I know that many of the folks here are Firefox users. How many of you use CPU-optimised builds? I'm curious as to the experiences that people here are having with them.

I have a friend who is older and definitely geekier than I. His personal digital assistant is a pad of paper and a pen used by his digits. Who says we're hesitant? I've never had the batteries run down on my address book and had it lose all its ink and pages. That sounds like superior...

You're a nice guy, right? Ever had a cell phone go off in an inappropriate situation, like in the middle of a movie theatre or some such? Ever had the phone ring while you were driving and needed to answer it? You've just become a rude and/or inconsiderate person, and it was the device that...

The baggage compartment is pressurised. If they didn't pressurize it, the floor of the passenger deck would collapse. There have been incidences wherein a cargo door came open, depressurizing the baggage area and causing this to occur. If you take cans, you're less likely to explode, as the...

Thank goodness the darn things aren't a reality must. Devices that make people rude and inconsiderate should have strict licensing.

Who cares how long a socket lasts? Motheboards are go out of date just as quick as processors these days.

If you buy a Dell, you're buying service. If you buy a Thinkpad, you're buying a computer.

You know, if you replaced that cell phone with a watch and dumped the car key, it'd be a lot more minimalist.

How bald is bald? Many places of minimum tread depth requirements.

Even so, it's something to think about. A good pocket watch looks classy. My brother has been using a watch on a chain for some years. He does computer work, so a wrist watch tends to get in the way.

I've become a fan of Timex watches. They take a good amount of abuse; and when they've taken too much, I don't feel remorse about replacing it. I like cloth and woven wristbands. Beyond being more comfortable, I've found that they last longer. Metal tends to irritate my skin and/or become...

Girl #1: I keep all my money in that piggy bank you gave me. Girl #2: Piggy bank? Girl #1: Actually it was a bear, wasn't it? I save my money in that piggy bear. -- Aboard the New York #7 train

Yes. And it makes you wonder why the board required a couple of computer-generated goons to stand in front of a little bit of thrusting in Eyes Wide Shut.

Do we have a budget here? I saw one of those setups that uses the wall as the speaker... er, not cheap.

I bet that Merc liked Showgirls. Never have I seen a movie so lacking in the plot department. It's just a skin festival. And that was after the recut for "R!"

What are they testing? Are they trying to clear the field so that the only bottleneck would be the object of testing; or are they actually trying to replicate the enterprise environment? As much as I can tell, they've done a pretty damn good job of neither.

Sending them a package is way too much effort, anyway. I just send the junk mail back to them in the envelope. Saves me and the mailman a lot of effort.

I'd say that DirecTV will do more damage to TiVo than Windows-based PVRs can.

As a side note... "SATA II" is the name of the group that makes the standards, not the standards themselves....

Am I missing anything exciting with the RSS business?

Let's call it a "work around."

Really, see a doctor. You need to take care of this before taking a trip.

Sounds proprietary to me....

Seems like a very nice open aluminum frame with some cloth draped on it. Good for airflow, I guess. What's your goal for this enclosure?

Who is taking enough aspirin at once for that to be a health issue? (We probably don't want those folks in our gene pool, anyway.)

Once again, I suggest that you need more eduation in accounting.

You only have one tonsil, so I'll presume that you're really refering to you adenoids. Cutting them out works well... although you might prefer to go with Gilbo's answer. Keep in mind that most NSAIDs, such as ibuprofen and aspirin, cause stomach and intestinal issues, and may thin your blood...

If you will allow a little sense to intervene, you'd realise that my post makes little sense in reference to your kickbacks post, and, thus must reference the subthread concerning accounting for car purchases....

That's silly. Maybe it's difficult to know, but it cannot be unknowable!

Appropriate frames are made... and you generally don't look like a complete moron outside of work. In your situation it may be easier to use safety glasses... I have used several models which fit confortably over prescription glasses.

A little education will get you much farther than Google can.... I was referring to accounting of a car purchase not kickbacks.

Last I checked, reversing the print order fixes this problem....
