Apparently the board freaked out on me. The first post was a preview I think. It seems to have posted as well as given me the preview screen.

I wonder if there is a correlation between low blood pressure and a palate preference for salt over sweets.

While I was at the doctor the nurse informed me that the target numbers for blood pressure was no longer 120/80 but now 110/70. Something about the higher pressure being bad for the eyes. http://www.wgal.com/health/13790887/detail.html http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cholesterol American Heart...

I just got the results back from my first physical in 10 years and my first time for blood work. Blood Pressure: 96/70 Cholesterol: 158 HDL: 56 LDL: 87 Triclyceride: 73 Now I know why the blood bank stalks me. I chalk it up to my diet of bacon and eggs.

The there is no specification for an IDE device to be hot-pluggable. If you switch out the drive you will need to reboot the bridge board (Oxford) to re-initialize the drive. Sorry, that's just the way it is.

The last unit to be complete was Watts Bar Unit 1. They halted work on Unit 2 in the mid 80s. It currently stands at 60% complete and I'm not sure if some of the costs mentioned were not attributable to the Unit 2 work...

Not exactly on topic. "Clean Coal" http://www.uic.com.au/nip83.htm 05/06 http://www.mindfully.org/Energy/Clean-Coal-Oxymoron-WSJ.htm 05/01 http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/4468076.stm

FWIW, one of my clients is a global engineering consultancy specializing in the power industry. They basically make some internal modifications to the flue stacks to more completely burn the fuel left in the exhaust gas and squeeze another 10% efficiency out of the plant.

Interestingly, our nuke plants are currently running at partial capacity. Due to the lack of rainfall there is currently not enough water to cool the reactors if they are run at full capacity.

Depending on how hard your water is you can get a conductive layer of minerals left behind when the water evaporates, as Mark alluded. I second David as mold being what I would be the most wary of. About two months ago a high pressure supply line for the sprinkler system failed at a client...

I ended up taking the Starlight To Portland. I'll take the Cascades back. I anticipate liking the Starlight more. It is a double-decker. Anyway I'm in the south-east of Portland until Friday.

For the first little bit of [Edit]'s existence he/she/it had the same sig as Merc.

You need to telnet to port 80 not ping.

I'll handle filtration if you handle collection. :)

That Chevy Volt is hot! I hope it comes out soon.

I not sure I'd have to give up anything. http://articles.moneycentral.msn.com/SavingandDebt/SaveonaCar/The100mpgCarIsComing.aspx

I would never live in a place where that was routine.

Why not just produce a vehicle with adequate proportions of the three?

You can't be serious about this. You can do what you suggest. Just get on the interstate and drive until you have had enough. The rest of us are actually trying to go somewhere.

It's not the only solution but it is the best solution. Eating less and exercising is not the only solution to losing weight. But it sure beats the alternatives.

Excellent point! Since the original post was about CAFE standards I should probably comment on it. I don't like it either.

Marketing severely influences peoples buying decisions. Just look at the marketing budgets of corporations comparatively. The new Transformers movie was a GM marketing coup. The only effective tool for combating marketing is education and there is just no effective tool left to disseminate the...

jtr, It would be more accurate to view the auto as the lowest common denominator. Autos are flexible and generally resilient. They are also wasteful and expensive. There is a place for the auto but there are more sophisticated solutions for general purpose use.

It is the end of the Chicken Little story that is concerning.

You're right; I'd like to put half the US population over my knee. Consider it a call for education. The law goes into effect and you get to complain about the lack of availability of V8 engines in grocery-getters. Then people get to explain to you why your solution to the problem is not really...

I want a car that I can plug in at night to recharge in the garage. It should go 50 miles between charges. It should also have an engine that will kick in if the battery power gets too low. It should have a hatchback, have a cargo area in the rear and be sized anywhere between a Honda CRX and a...

When Fiesty first came out I was getting 15 updates a day. Now I get four or five once a week. They take about two minutes to load. The nice thing about the Ubuntu updates over window is that Ubuntu is package centric while windows is file centric. That means at update time you get the whole...

My pillow is from Walmart and its fine. I'm not sure you can get more generic.

My Ubuntu install is pretty basic but I've never had a problem with updates breaking other packages and I'm running Feisty. If you stay with the LTS release Dapper you get a stable system and the updates are backported. Unless you just want the newest (ie, almost stable) features sooner you...

Does XP have the F6 option to load SCSI drivers? If so that's where you load the SAS drivers. Whoops, you said SATA. Hmm, I don't build the desktops but I've not heard of anything special.

I've done nothing to the modem. To the Palo Alto test site: *shrug*

The most cheap Comcast internet package available. Latency in the mid 30ms.

Yeah I forgot about all of our clients that use them. I'll second what David said. We are all Verizon here.

My boss uses it for Citrix access while travelling. I've not asked him about the experience though he uses it all the time.

You lose a whole 1.5 square inches going from 4:3 15" to 16:10 15.4". People all over the world are using the extra width just fine now that the mass hysteria has died down. Most picture sizes are rectangular as well which should serve you better than a more square screen. So much drama, it...

Hey! Congratulations!

http://www.sciencenews.org/articles/20070623/mathtrek.asp It's an old stereotype: he who hates mathematics curls up with a book, and she who revels in numbers is bored by fiction. But Franco Moretti, an English professor at Stanford University, believes that a full understanding of literature...

I have a laptop. That won't work for me.

Do you have a suggested replacement hub? I need more ports anyway.

Why does my USB NIC (Linksys USB100TX) not work through my Belkin powered USB hub (F5U234)?

Mubs, put your skirt back on and get back in here.

Since when was that homophobia?

:D

Oh, I interpreted you to be saying that the heated discussion was a bad thing.

Relax mubs, Its good to be passionate about things. If we can't learn how to agree to disagree over such a light topic how can we ever hope to work together on more serious ones.

I can't find the link for the hosting server statistics. FWIW, every day this week the site has been unavailable from about 8-9am est. What ever they claim, something is definitely going on.

The first time I had ham and pineapple on pizza was in Oz.
