Does no one learn logic in high school anymore?

Yes. It rolls over and electrocutes you. Expected to be popular in Texas.

I've messed it up by lumping all of the one-hit wonders into a single group of folders.

Perhaps you'd like to read and interpet my entire statement before shooting off, half-cocked.

You should look through my online music collection. The first five folders are: 5th Dimension 10,000 Maniacs 311 ABBA ACDC

As soon as Firefox is stable and there is a clear upgrade path from Mozilla, I'm switching.

DOCSIS cable modems are dirt cheap on the open market. A few days and fifty bucks would have gotten you something that worked. Buying the modem from the provider is always a rip-off. You may want to look through the appropiate fora at BroadbandReports.com and see if you can get more...

I think that he's refering to nukes.

I cannot find a transcript, but the video still appears to be available on C-SPAN's website. While my guess is that the truth lies somewhere in between their two points of view, I lean towards the general. After all, he actually investigated the events.

So you can jam wireless. Is this somehow surprising?

Maybe you missed it, but the general who wrote the report on the abuses testified before Congress earlier this week. Conveniently, the Undersecretary of Defense was sent along with him. For virtually every answer the general gave, the undersecretary gave a contradictory or opposing response...

Nvidia was cheating in the coin flip!

Am I good at this or what?

Ah, but where in Kansas? My mother's house is just a little smaller than your parents', yet is valued at half as much.

He worked under Ford. He's qualified!

I have used Eudora for many years with few issues.

We can get the Vice President to do it. He runs most everything else already....

People who don't know how to save?

You can also deny yourself rights to your own My Documents folder. When has Microsoft completely thought these things out? If you're interested, there has been at least three very good threads at Storage Review with people who either wanted to remove all page files or put their page files on a...

In the "Army of One," the phrase, "I was only following orders" is not an excuse to violate the Geneva Convention. There is clearly no sense of ethics from top to bottom in this affair. Everyone should have known it was wrong, but they did it anyway.

Virgin canola oil? There's a group here in the US that has a setup that allows you to use used fry-oil (as from fast-food restaurants) as a fuel.

If Windows stops paging, then it has crashed. Those who espouse turning off paging to disk are utterly ignorant of how the Windows memory subsystem works.

Why don't they train the military in ethics? Is "the right thing" that hard to do?

At last check, Toyota was providing all maintenance for three years on the Prius -- everything but gas and wiper fluid basically. Sure, you have to bring it back to an appropriately-equiped Toyota dealership for an oil change, but I don't see that as any different than if it didn't come with...

This is just baloney. The EPA system isn't setup to compare different fuel systems -- the numbers hybrids, pure-gasoline, diesel, vegetable oil, and whathaveyou just don't match up. Furthurmore, how efficient a hybrid works really depends upon how you drive it. Those without this...

NT, 2k, XP, 2k3

That's not bad. You should see the deficit. Or the national debt!

My favourite is Windows deciding that it *really* needs a page file and halting all processes while creating one.

This should give you a start to experiment: http://techrepublic.com.com/5100-6270-1059493.html The existing options are straight-forward. I'm not sure if they'll do everything that you want however.

When you turn over symbolic power to a symbolic government, not a lot of mess tends to occur.

You should be able to sufficient lock-down a workstation with accounts and security policies. You'll need to reference what policies to add/change/etc. to tweak the setup to your liking.

Between the members of my standard security setup, I didn't notice a thing with either of these. Just goes to show that a little bit goes a long ways.

Don't start me on that. Disabling your page file is *not* a good idea.

It'd probably be cheaper to throw in 4GB of RAM....

How does this compare to Opteron's Hyperlink? Since Opteron's were already known to go dual core and Hyperlink currently kicks stuff big-time, I wonder how they will compare.

Shouldn't make a difference for networking, but for devices, make sure that you have a six-pin (powered) port and six-pin cables.

It's the butterfly effect. Two pieces of plastic, for example, shrink against one another in a stressed position (like an earthquake fault). They sit there quietly until conditions change just subtely enough for them to move against each other, making a nice snap sound.

I'm still trying to clean-up the piles of stuff on the floor next to my desk, but keep putting more stuff there. All items are as described and sold "as is." I accept Yahoo Paydirect, money order, cashier's check, and cash. I will also do trades. My prices are flexible, i.e. make me an offer...

I've never heard a CRT make anything other than when it was warming up and cooling off. Mostly, aforementioned exapansion and contraction of parts.

"Intel Decides to Follow AMD's Lead; Moves To Efficient Architecture at Slower Clocks"

Considering the fairly finite life of current flash technology, shouldn't we be worried about storage failure? The fact of the matter is the a laptop is less likely to suffer a sudden power loss because it has batteries. Desktops commonly don't, and are far more likely to lose information on a...

Is this really a big deal? Is it not as if the dual CPU computer has not existed for some time?

I'll ask here: Why not just got with an unduly large cache?

Do you want to have Google searching through all of your papers to target ads at you? Makes me feel a little uncomfortable.

Personally, I'd go with the Ghostcast server, but, if you can't get the drive-mapping to work, that should be fine.

I'm guessing that the correct answer to my question is no.

I believe that the problem with standard LEDs is that they are too big. Liquid crystals can be manipulated at the molecular level.

No I'm not. I think that you are, however.

Considering that Google will be searching through all of that to target ads, I'm not sure it's such a smooth idea.

As I understand it, the newer ATi Remote Wonder II is better as a mouse replacement, and will accept connection of an IR blaster to control other items.
