    64-Bit WinXP Beta Available to General Public

    The only difference I'd expect is less stability. I have no doubt that it is the path of the future and allows for more powerfull systems; but right now all I'd expect is less mature code.

    Splash: What are you using for new systems at work?

    Re: FINALLY TOOK THE JUMP!! I use a Xerox multifunction that can scan @ ~ 40ppm (just a guess) and send them to your inbox. It's a pretty happy thing if you want to get the equivalent of a book into PDF before lunch.

    RAID 0 - a call for a metareview

    Well, if you guys are interested, I can contribute my 2xWD360GDs in RAID0 on 3112R to the mix... I have a couple of them. As a note, I don't believe this config has given me any more than a 5% boost in anything I do; I'm just too lazy to switch back...

    6500K (Daylight) CFLs......

    BTW, My GF was so impressed with the 5900K lights in my bedroom that I got her some for christmas (as well as the usual 4k jewlery)! I've never given lightbulbs as a gift before, you should have seen the look on her parent's (ignorant-assed) faces :D

    6500K (Daylight) CFLs......

    All the stoplights here have been LCD for quite some time. As soon as they get LCDs bright enough, I'm sure they'll replace the street lights as well.

    Most ignorant thing I've ever heard in my life

    I'm suprised that no one has mentioned trillian as the IM client of choice. At least it was when I was doing that kind of social thing...now I don't want the girls to communicate with each other ;) l8r........(j/k) :P

    Most ignorant thing I've ever heard in my life

    We had a receptionist who took way too many breaks. I connected a straight though serial cable to the back of her PC and put the other end on her monitor pointing at her. I told her it would dock her pay if she left more than once an hour. ;)

    Ain't this the truth. Oakland dockworkers get $110k, crane operators $150k and data entry people get $85k. All with the best holiday schedule and benefits. Too bad you have to know someone to get in...

    Bought my last Plextor

    When I need service it's always been easy. They are based about 50 miles north of here. I plan on making a drive and picking up some parts directly (in bulk) pretty soon.
