...and that car is hardly practical, not much leg room ;) Dunno why the image tag doesn't work...

But that car would handle for crap. We need a car with L x W x H Ratios of about 1 x 0.75 x <0.5 for the best performance.

What a stupid thing to say. It's like saying the Concorde shouldn't exist, or that the Ferrari Enzo or Ford GT shouldn't exist. Exuberance and selective waste are the spice of life! SLI and Crossfire are great! They just shouldn't be used for E-mail and word processing.

Out of curiosity, what would a car of this type have to look like?

I use CyberCafe Pro at the game center, and it has that functionality built-in, along with quite a bit more.

I'd need to admit that Incredimail users are the most daft, ignorant, and obnoxious users I have. They don't use OE, so they don't just take what they are given, but they don't use thunderbird, so they aren't particularly intelligent. These are the users that respond to SPAM and say "yes" to any...

Looke (kinda) clean to me.

That's really well done.

:P I got mine less than a week ago. :cry:

I wasn't taking pictures, just criticising them ;)

Considering that the photo had a 6s exposure time, he was pretty deep into the work ;)

And presenting: Greg's new PC! Still got some wiring to do, but it is quick. Unfortunatly, it has this: But my security expert is working on it: I'll let Greg know his PC is ready...

Quite so. Though I haven't been stoned in quite a few years.

I just put away an entire bottle of chianti while criticising my own pictures on a 5'x5' projector...damn I suck. I need better lighting, better diffusing, and a better camera with better focus and better control of the background. Of course, a better photographer would not need these things...

If anyone is impressed with really good juggling, you'll like this clip.

Probably has QoS built-in...

Vonage and Linksys have a package deal that has been flooding the retail markets (Office Depot, OfficeMax, Frys, Circuit City, etc) around here. Perhaps they are trying to only support the packaged hardware that they co-brand? It does make the tech support easier, I'd imagine.

The Cheapo P&S I'm using now is 7.2MP (3072x2304), and that gives me about 220 frames on a 1GB card. The camera I'm drooling over is 16.7MP (4992 x 3328) I can see a need for an 8GB card ;)

I could've sworn I posted in this thread earlier, must have been eaten... Use P180 cases on their side. They are beautiful, have the best airflow of any case I've ever seen, and are strong enough to hold a monitor on their side. Furthermore, they have a door with a lock across the front (good...

Spiffy! Where?

Just registered for a seminar No cool stuff, though. They could take a lesson from Microsoft.

As far as size goes, they are really nice as well. I've heard that they run pretty quiet as well.

My HTPCs should really be called "media players". They don't store anything, and I dan't have cable tuners anywhere. All these machines need to do is be simple little computers capable of playing DiviX, XviD, MP3, FLAC, Google Earth, Worms World Party, and Firefox. For this, the minis look...

It does look interesting as an HTPC, but I would install XP on it - is that possible?

Here's my latest attempt. I figure since the image is only 800x800 and 55k I'll thow it in the thread. If anyone is interested in looking at a larger (7.2MP) copy for critique, I can post it. As you can see, I blew clear through the focal range of the camera. ISO 100 1/320th f4.0 craploads...

My keyboard actually works from much greater distances, but reliable mouse movement goes first.

That's just it, I'm still using a Casio 7.2MP P&S. I'm looking at either the 10D, Rebel XT, or 20D. Wondering if the more expensive ones would be worthwhile for my very specific needs. I'm also looking at the 60mm, 100mm, or super-macro lenses and wondering if the more expensive ones would be...

Their standard wireless has issues reaching 14' to the couch in my house. I found it was very particular on the placement of the reciever and keyboard at that distance.

I'm getting more and more serious about getting a nicer camera and macro lens. The pictures are getting better, and their applications more demanding. So I need to learn some more about macro photos. I've read all there is on Canon's website, but would like more info about "1x lifesize" vs "5x...

For the record: 63.81 Latitude 20.30 Longitude

Google Earth does really well with 3-Dimensions, but that 4th is a bitch.

2,976 miles (about 1 day 18 hours) ;)

I was just playing around on Google Earth and thought it would be interesting to see where we all physically are, possibly even put together a composite of some kind. (Perhaps a Google Earth overlay?) What I'd like to see here is a Lat/Lon that is as accurate to your primary computer as...

Wow, that was an interesting test. I ended up +25% male. I got perfect scores on the Angles, Systemising, Eyes, and 3D Shapes; while scoring incredibly badly on Spot the difference and words. Middle of the road, to just above average on the rest.

I didn't get the memo either :( Fortunatly, my DiNovio is doing quite well so far.

Sharp XR-20X. I was hoping to sell it to my old roommate when I moved out, but he wouldn't take it even at a discount. Now I feel compelled to make use of it at the new house. So here I am, spending twice the cost of the projector on a screen that passes the GF test.

I'm afraid I have to duck out. I was just "forced" into buying an in-ceiling electric projection screen. $2400 for a screen leaves no room for a $100 sound card.

In any practical application to any noticeable degree? I think not.

Do you have access to a scanner with an ADF? Perhaps pages of cards would even work through that?

That is indeed very interesting behavior. I've never experienced it and I only install to SATA HDDs from PATA CD-Roms. The only issue I've had loading windows in a long time was from a bad video card, and it crapped out long after the point you are menitioning.

jtr, you are quite crazy. Cooling an LED to -44C in the name of efficiency? Madness. My kind of madness ;). Going back to some other stuff: IIRC, a very steady voltage is requred to drive LEDs correctly. If I have a really nice 300W 12V source, whats the best way to use it?

The Dell 30" is big enough to make the widescreen acceptable for me. The height is still plenty for my needs.

As you talk of strings, the first few notes of "Green Day - Hitchin' a Ride" starts up, and I attempt to identify atrifacts in the strings... :P Nice review, I'll certainly consider one for my HTPC, once I get worthwhile speakers hooked up to the reciever.

Very nice ;) I love that cooler. I got my 2700+ (single core) up to 3Ghz, but it's not PRIME95 stable above 2.9Ghz. No games I've tried care, so I have it at 3Ghz anyway.

A Dell 20.1" LCD is 1600x1200 and can be had for just over $500; probably about as much as your 15" CRT when it was new ;)

Funny, that is my browsing habit as well. The only reason I use 1280x1024 is becuase that's the native res on my monitor. I was actually looking forward to the Dell 30" Screen because then I could use 1/4 of it's native res (1280x800) and still have a sharp image. A 1024x768 32" LCD would do...

I only made it to level 4, but I managed a score of 12982...not bad I'd say.

What's funny is that the link made my internet connection the fastest ever! :o
