Don't mean to hijack this thread, but anyone heard of this guy? He talks about an impending magnetic shift and how the earth's crust will move. Result: midwest will be the U.S.'s new west coast. Yup, and Manhattan, NYC, et. al. will disappear too. There's not much info on the web site (you're...

Blech. Please, leave this one the way it is.

Mark, Please don't get me wrong. I'm not sue-happy either (my significant other's name is something else :D ). I've never sued, even when I had sufficient cause and could clearly win a judgement. Your point about the individual having to go through hell without much benefit, and the liyars...

I can't believe that's legal. Why hasn't anything been done about it???

As blakerwry said, replacement drives should have a warranty that finishes the warranty of the first one you bought. If not, SUE! I'm not a lawyer and don't care for them, but fair's fair, eh? This here below is surely old hat, but bears repeating nonetheless. In the beginning was the plan...

Paid lackeys; PR people; spin doctors. I have never understood these and never will. When all your tarining, skills, knowledge tell you something is bad, how can you take the opposite stance, just for money? I could never do it. Maybe that's one reason I'm not rich. In the monetary sense, that is.

Gee, Merc, I feel your pain. You should actually write a nice letter to WD's CEO, introducing yourself and your credentials (lest he think you're a noobie nut-case), and then cut-n-paste this post of yours into the letter. I mean, that, really. How else will they know/believe what's wrong with...

If there's nothing much happening in the industry, there's not much to talk about, is there? Enjoy your pipe and slippers, tannin. And have a dwink as well.

Aren't the procs being made with the .13 micron process? And they're still pretty small!

Guess you're pretty close to the action, Mark (that Intel guy held without charge and refused bail).

No. Just an affectation. Chalk it down to her age.

And, before you reply, Fushigi, please, just quickly list your m/b, ram brand/model nos. as well. I know they're in this thread somewhere, but please?

Here. None of the hi-rez image links work; the low-rez ones I checked do. Seems small, like the original Pentium. IIRC, the Pentium Pro was twice as large.

Fascinating! Private enterprise at its best.

Merc was right. Time for a car forum.

Pradeep, if it's ok to tell, why do you need such high-end storage capabilities at home? Lots of video cap?

Yeah. Soon they'll link it to your underwear size, how much hair you have on your head, how big your nose is, and how much dental work you have done in a year and how much toilet paper you buy weekly. Don't misunderstand me; my sarcasm is directed at the insurance industry. They'll do anything...

Never mind.

Now, now, honold, what makes you think I get offended at every action the Govt./any corp takes???? We are generalzing a leetle bit too much now, aren't we? More than quantity, I think the type offence matters more. Mowing down bystanders and hauling somebody's ass away for no reason certainly...

SD, I seem to consistently offend you. Perhaps I should suffix all my posts with disclaimers, warnings, and other such fine-print legalese? :-?

Nope. IE5.5 current with all the putty and paint.

The Inquirer thinks that the screwup is because the new processor will be priced less than the current 3.06 GHz P4. Read about it here.

Found thru The Inquirer: here

You're right on, Tea. Couldn't have said it better meself.

Along with power and handling, gimme refinement. Or it's all a waste. I've always been fond of touring cars; sustained high-speed driving.

You're right on the mark there, Coug. This particular article was very well written, I thought, and quite graphically demonstrated that the excesses go on despite all the B.S. about reform. SD: Almost all major sites (Fortune, Forbes, BusinessWeek, Business 2.0, etc.) have a pop or two. While...

Gee, Merc, you have this sneaky sense of humor that has me cracked up most of the time!

Thank you, kind sirs.

Back off, guys! Coug is perfectly understandable all the time. Take two aspirin and come back here in the morning.

CEO PAY: Have They No Shame? Read all the way through. It'll make you cry and laugh at the same time!

1) Am using Netscrape 4.7x now; will be moving to Moz soon. Have heaps of mail in the in and out boxes with attachments. I need to hang on to the the emails themselves, but wish to strip attachments from mail 2 or more years older. Can do? 2) If I forward mail from my Yoohoo account to my...

Anything to make you grin, honold, old chap.

I love you is just 3 words as well.

A wabbit widing a bicycle! Schweet!

Between Merc's crack and the drinkz otherz keep having, I seem to be the only zober one.

As always, Buck is the perfect gentleman.

More paranoid crap.

Sad.

Howell, thanks for the offer of help. The weird thing is that when the "bang" happened, I was going ~90 MPH, and the window did not come down then, and is still fully intact and not cracked/broken as much as I can see of it. I reached my destination, and when I tried to put the window down, it...

As Southern Californians (like Buck) know, you're a dead duck here if you ain't got no car; public transportation is not even a joke. Looks like there's more than two of us in the same boat. My LE V6 Camry, purchased new in 1994, is getting long in the tooth. 160k miles. In August, I spent ~$3k...

While I've slackened off going to SR as well, especially to the B&G, I'm here now because of a comment Tannin made in a B&G post at SR. More is in Piyo's thread, which I hijacked before reading this one.

Interesting, Piyono's "gap" in memory. Maybe the aliens erased it? The L.A. times recently had an article about a rainmaker. It has been proven that he has made rain every place he visitied, and has broken droughts. He failed only twice. He refused to talk about one of those failures, but for...

I read all of Coug's posts. They're absolutely charming, and I see new shades of meaning in what would otherwise be a drab sentence. Coug, this is a compliment, not a criticism or a flame.

Many a time have I been in Mercutio's shoes, trying to explain to a non-technical business-suit why something is not working, when it's supposed to. I feel his pain. time wrote: I love that! Pradeep has a new handle!

Write the FCC and your congress-people. I mean that. Not just saying you don't have broadband, but what it really means to not have it, and how much it's costing you for the alternative. They need to allow the phone and cable companies to provide broadband. Competition is good. In 2003, in the...

I didn't know that 7-of-9 is a shrink in her spare time. :D
