No. Like dog. Stray dog. It was served as a pepper steak, and was still grey and stringy.

I didn't have dog in the Philippines, but I did have it a couple times in Thailand.

The S939 CPUs are already on their way back up...I don't think there is any more down for them. AMD has already discontinued over half the product line. If you are looking for a CPU upgrade, now would be the time. If you are going to keep that system for a long time, buy the 2.4Ghz 4800+ from...

More monitors are (I'm told) far more helpful in programming, due to the multiple windows and concurrent processes. The development system I built for my dad has 4 19" LCDs connected to it for this reason.

The following is math that I'm sure Merc is aware of, and I don't mean to sound patronizing in spelling it out. 4096000 pixels (30") vs. 2304000 pixels (24") vs. 3840000 pixels (current 22" 4:3 * 2 monitors) So a 30" has 178% the space of a 24" and 106% the space of my pair. The questions...

If all I'm going to do is stretch the image, I'm just going to get a bigger monitor ;) Those two games are smart enough to directly support multiple monitors; enhancing the gaming experience when you do.

As Buck said, that board will support any 939 CPU. The fastest of which is an Opteron 2.6Ghz Dual Core chip for $330. But I would suggest that a Dual Core 2.0Ghz 3800+ for $115 would be the cost-effective upgrade.

AFAIK, there are only 2 games that support multiple monitors; the MS Flight Simulator series and Supreme Commander. So if you are looking at a better gaming experience, you need one large monitor. And it would probably be flanked by my current pair of VP2130b 22" LCDs ;)

Possibly, but I doubt the people making the cuts are considering OC-ability. There simply aren't enough OC-ers to change the market.

Newegg is on-board....

I just got an e-mail from Dell with some really incredible pricing on AMD X2 systems...coincidence?

I'll watch it when I get home, but there was a great line in the summary:

So you are seeing the consumption of 80 hot dogs as a personal challenge? I probably only average 2 or 3 a day.

If you are using it for non-computer uses, the additional resolution is completely wasted. There are many lower-resolution displays for less (even larger ones), but what I'm after is the resolution for games and photo editing.

3007WFP for $1200US with code 6QB86?RPMM4043 until wednesday.

If you have DSL and the device supplied by the telco includes a switch, it is a multi-purpose device; including a DSL modem, NAT-capable router, and switch (at least). Just connecting your SMC (ethernet) router to the phone line would not work, as it doesn't have a DLS modem in it (DSU).

Good post Sol; queue the flying spaghetti monster...

It apparently does support Jumbo Frames, at least for me. I have my TeraStation set up to use 7418-byte packets. I noticed a significant speed increase when I made the change and no corrupted data.

WRT350N

Omniform, but I hate it.

Hilarious.

Entering IP addresses on printers always sucks. Typically I print the config page which gives the DHCP address, then I connect to that using a browser and change it there. The MFC devices are easier because they have a number pad.

Do they have TiVo-like features?

I fail to see how inconsistency in the fonts of the UI are a positive aesthetic...

Not all institutions for all reasons I suppose. But it seems the biggest thing that organizations do is suppress independent thought. Government, religion, universities, fraternal organizations, etc. all seem to seek conformity. All of these have some use (charity, knowledge, getting people to...

Did a quick google, and I think I can settle on this one: Organized religion: an institution to express belief in a divine power. Belief in anything is fine with me, institutions are something I'm allergic to.

My thought was "this is why I love cats" ;)

But my argument is not about what the religion is. Even in there were a god (or many; I'm an agnostic), I still think that organized religion is a mistake. Even if heaven and hell exist (pretty confident this is a no), living well and not being evil should be enough. The crap that people do...

At home I have a Linksys router with 802.11n and a gigabit switch. Very fun. The local Fry's only sells WRT54GLs, they don't even have the Gs.

Strangely, Tahoma is likely the one I would keep.

...and California? ;)

Merc, I can relate. Though things are different now, I certainly was part of that group at the time.

Since when were wheat farmers known for their intelligence?

That would be the ideal behavior, but I'm afraid it would just BSOD or something.

My opinion on freedoms that could have negative consequences is to increase the penalties. This is a very good point. This is another good point. So....we make it hard but not impossible to get a gun. We hold the proper owner of the gun directly liable for any crimes committed with that gun...

I think both the Pirates and the *IAA have it wrong. The pirates say "collection of bits" and the *IAA say "every pirated copy is a lost sale". BS. There are many things that I would not pay money for, but would like to have a look at. By pirating things I wouldn't have otherwise given a...

Considering Samsung is one of the leaders in the upcoming SSD revolution; I think it is a big mistake for them to market a merely quiet drive as "silent" when they are one of the few coming out with a truly silent drive.

I have also had the understanding that intelligence removes the need for a god. Just look where the "bible belt" is in the USA and that should clear it up ;)

I don't think there is just one "system" font for Vista. I think there are at least 5. I'm curious what happens if you remove all but one?

Posting without sleep. Yes. Still am. I'll try again. People are cattle. Religion (and as the physical object that represents it, the bible) is a very effective tool to drive these cattle, because those who have recognized it's usefulness have continued to reinforce it's "teachings" so they can...

Groceries are specialty. She's Russian and likes Russian foods and I like high-quality meat. So between the small Russian shop and steaks at Whole Foods, the bill increases dramatically.

Is there a list somewhere of the ones Windows needs? The ones that couldn't be deleted safely?

My primary complaint about the bible has nothing to do with what it says; even if I completely agreed with what was written (which I certainly don't), I would still hate the book. The root of it's evil is about what people think the book is. Many, many people around the world believe that it is...

Since this topic was threatening to put my "Something Random" thread on a track (where it doesn't belong), I figured this would be a good place for some ranting.

The bible doesn't have to be inconsistent to be hated. I despise the thing. Which has caused more bloodshed over history, it or Mein Kampf? The unfortunate thing is that people keep believing in the bible....

Fuel for my car alone is ~$700/mo. Groceries for the two of us (not counting eating out 3-4 times a week) is ~$1000/mo. This is pretty comparable to San Francisco, except that the weather and people are nicer, and you have more space. A six-figure household income is practically mandatory for...

That's too bad Merc. At the club I went to (south of SF) most of the people there were .com-ers looking for something different. Nearly everyone kept their guns at the club; I was part of a group that kept a collection, so I never actually bought a gun, just "bought in" and got to shoot a...

I'll third (?) target shooting. I actually had some great interactions with females because of it. Started as them saying "What is a sensitive guy like you doing with horrible guns?" and ended with them going to the range with me ;)

I have a really nice 1bd/1ba in a good complex for $1300/mo. including power, water, gas, and trash. The best deal in the area IMO.
