    I'm sure there is a 5 minute period where we can edit posts, but where is the edit button?

    pci SLOT MODEM/fax????

    One of the advantages of being male. The girl I'm taking to dinner tonight called me a womanizer last weekend in the pool, then smiled. Being a man-whore is far more socially accepted than the female alternative.

    I've always slept well after having a coke, I think my body is accustomed to having some substance affecting it.

    Radar Detectors

    Not according to the review you linked to. They said that the appearance was dated, and that the controls were less intuitive, but that it had the best performance. Interesting ;)

    Expensive vodka and blow aren't issues, and I don't seem to have to pay for the rest ;)

    Radar Detectors

    timwhit, I understand what you are saying, but I'm not deterred. I'm already driving quite fast, and I doubt I'll be slowing down if I don't buy one. This is more about risk management than behavoral modification.

    Radar Detectors

    My birthday is coming up, and I want a radar detector. Considering I consistently drive 1000+ miles a week at speeds averaging 80mph, the odds are against me. Does anyone have one? Good experiences? Thoughts? I'm debating just getting a Valentine 1, as they have been the "best" for a long...

    AM2 - Let the Games Begin

    I always explain to people that HP is a hardware company, not a software company. I always reccomend they install as little HP software with their printer as possible. Occasionally I'll go into why their computers are such crap (software) and point out that we don't want their computer to catch...

    Eh, I just don't like to waste time I could be spending with women, or making money so I can have a better time with women later.

    Just got home from dancing. Need to drive the GF to the airport at 5AM, debating just staying up. Unfortunatly, I'll be in SF until 1AM Thursday morning, and have been awake since 6AM this morning, so it might hurt a bit. How about you?

    IT & Not for Profits

    I did some of this, but wasn't part of the grant process. The shelter had coordinated with some non-profit firm who was submitting federal grants for them. They specalised in grants and purchasing; I would tell them approx. what I needed, and they would set up non-profit business acounts, apply...

    Noise Machinos

    I need acutal quiet for sleep. Adding "soothing" noises doesn't work for me; my mind is always searching for patterns or analysing the sound in some way. I've found that doing whatever I can to deaden the sounds in a room was the most effective. Adding stuff to stop any kind of echo. Things of...

    Daed Man switch

    Yes, but the intention of "I've fallen and I can't get up" is for help to arrive while you are still alive. Waiting until you start to smell bad isn't good for anybody.

    Something Random

    Too many women. Just got home this morning in time to get more clothes before my Open Ocean Sailboat race today. Yesterday was rockclimbing in the morning, Pool party for lunch, and then two different parties all night. Now I get to Sail for 12-16 hours with a hangover.

    Dell. I think it was around $1300 including shipping and CA Tax. There were over $500 in price breaks.

    I just ordered a Dell for the current GF: Core 2 Duo @ 2Ghz 2GB RAM 80GB HDD DVD Burner 15" Screen I think she'll be happy with it; she needs more that a Treo has to offer. (AutoCAD)

    You Make The Call: Is It Grounded?

    Here we have solid clay from about 8" on down. I have driven a 6' grounding rod all the way in, and did considerable damage to the wall in the process. Fortunatly I missed the water main and gass main which were about 8" away.

    Fix a scratched LCD?

    I actually have a 19" with scratches a bit worse than that. I use it on my bench. I actually ended up using a rezor blade to remove the materiel that was hanging off the display, but the display under the scratch still looks like @ss. I wouldn't use it for anything but checking progress of...

    Car RANT

    If you buy a car new for under $10k, you know it's a POS. You know it's a POS and you buy it anyway. I was poor and needed a car; I regret the decision.

    Not a bad thing, IMHO. IIRC, they were never the performance leader, but set reliability standards that others strived for.

    I actually have good things to say about most of the cars I've bought in the past. My current VW has 105k miles in 3 years, without anything more than Oil and Tire changes in the last 85,000 miles! Other cars I've had for significant amounts of time/distance were an Audi S4, Porsche 911, Porsche...
