Every time someone tells me that they are going to replace the screen on a laptop I roll my eyes. It would have to be a really really nice and new one to burn money like that rather than getting a new one. I have replaced screens on laptops before, it is a royal pain. At least it was with Compaq.

Is this the printer you are referring to? It doesn't seem like the reviews on Newegg are all that positive...

This might be a joke, but I'm under the impression that nuclear power does not contribute to global warming.

I think the new iPod nanos look pretty good. I just wish they had more memory. I don't really like iTunes, but I can tolerate it to put music on my iPod. I only use it maybe once a month to switch some stuff out. It's a bit slow, but it works fine otherwise.

I'm 26 and I don't have any tattoos, nor do I want any. None of my friends have them either. I really don't see the draw. I would rather have scars than tattoos.

Not hard at all. Much easier than regular clips. Just turn your foot to the right for your right foot and left for you left foot. Though I generally leave my left foot clipped in at lights for a faster start. Some pedals are definitely easier to get in and out of than others. If you can find a...

JTR, you should get some clipless pedals and shoes for your bike. You can find the pedals pretty cheap on eBay. I really like my Look Keo Classics. I'm pretty happy with my Specialized shoes as well. I find that riding in traffic I actually feel more comfortable with my feet clipped in now. I...

I finally bit the bullet and bought a road bike. I've been wanting one for a while now. I ended up getting a 2006 Giant OCR C3. I haven't ridden it much yet, but I have a 65 mile ride planned for Saturday. Should be a lot of fun. I was previously on a decent, but old mountain bike with slicks...

As I mentioned in the third post of this thread, the Aeron hurt my back much more than most cheapo chairs. I'm still pretty happy with what I got. The only drawback and it's a minor one is if I eat in the chair a lot of crumbs fall through and it's a pain to clean up. I will still have to see...

Some of those jobs actually look fun.

I got it. It took 6 hours total to figure it out. I had to grow a VMWare image, then resize the ext3 partition, then figure out how to get GRUB to load at boot again. Who the hell configures a VMWare appliance with only 900MB of space? I also had the help of our Unix System Administrator. Too...

Yep, that's what I used. After trying about 6 other utilities I was more familiar with. But, now GRUB won't load, so I need to figure out how to reinstall that. Anyone have a quick method to do this? Sorry to hijack this thread, we can move over to another Linux thread if anyone cares.

I've read that people that do manual labor are healthier than those that work behind a desk. The activity is good for you heart. Also, the mental stress of office-type jobs is generally higher than manual labor (such as construction). If I could remember where I read this I would link to the...

Down for me too.

Emacs maybe?

Very interesting article. I will probably pick this book up. Do you have it yet?

What place was this? I'm going down there on Tuesday for dinner.

My point was that if an image like that comes up at work and someone sees I could get in trouble.

Congrats! Here's to another 10 years, Bartender, drinks on the house. No top shelf. Well/rail only please.

I noticed that the other day. Does MS actually own that domain?

I'm not so sure that bread is a good example. Bread is made from wheat and we can always grow more wheat (or other grain), whereas petroleum has a limited supply. Many countries have already hit their peak production (US in ~1972). As reserves are further tapped and it costs more money to drill...

I believe you would only need 3-phase 480v power to do a quick charge. If you were charging the vehicle overnight a weaker power source would work fine as long as you had enough time in-between trips.

I try about 50% of the time. I usually skim them. I don't trust opening his links at work, I'm under the impression that they all include scantily clad Asian women.

It works pretty well for me. I have heard the laptop one before. I just can't imagine reading an additional 5712 posts with that many typos. On the plus side, they are easier to comprehend than most of udaman's posts.

The volt might be a step in the right direction, but I would rather just buy a pure electric car, if I was actually in the market. With the right type of batteries an EV should be able to go 200+ miles before needing to be recharged. This seems optimum for most trips. Though, I rarely drive a...

You could always just try to replace your original 6200 posts here. I also recommend getting Firefox with a spell checker, though I think other people have suggested this in the past to no avail.

It sounds like somewhat decent exercise.

Good point, I live in a condo high-rise, so I would have no option to plug into any kind of fuel source or electricity. Though, I don't drive to work and I barely drive other than that anyways. I find my bike is the most efficient form of transportation in the city. I have been riding to work a...

The only problem with that is if you run out of fuel while on the road. Unless gas stations started offering natural gas fill-ups.

The speed and reliability are big factors for me. But, the price is just not there yet.

That sucks, but at least maybe you will get a lower price in a couple months. Has anyone here gotten an SSD yet?

I use their reader at work. I have the newest version of Acrobat Professional though, so I use that for editing purposes. The newest version of Acrobat Professional is actually a bit improved from older version. Still not nearly as fast as FoxIt though.

I know this isn't related to folding, but what other components are in those systems?

Let us know how it subjectively feels after you test it out. $800 is to rich for my blood, but these things have to start coming down in price sometime.

Which SSD did you get? This one?

I think that was the fastest woot off I have seen. I really didn't check the item quantities, but they must have been pretty low.

Just tried. Didn't work.

Last item was a bag of crap. I couldn't get the page to load while it was up. Stupid Woot.

There is always WindizUpdate

I installed this on my domain. The spam filter is so much better than Thunderbird. I already knew this of course, since my main email address is a gmail account.

This is free, correct? Maybe I should so the same thing.

I understand how supply and demand work. It doesn't always work that way when you have enough control over the market. Why can you buy an iPod just about anywhere, but you can't get one for less than retail? Here's why. I see no reason why Nintendo can't do the same thing. There is only one...

Can someone explain why Nintendo doesn't ramp up production to meet demand? There has to be other people like Merc that don't want to wait in a long line to buy one of these things.

There are advantages and disadvantages to every decision. One advantage is it makes searching for old posts easier. Another advantage is that if someone has no interest in a certain topic they no longer need to check the new posts in that forum. A disadvantage is it now takes more clicks to see...

Good idea. I second this.

Thanks for the detailed response. I think form factor is by far the most important thing to her. I think I will just drop the idea of exchanging it and not worry about it anymore. I checked out some of the other cameras, but none are as small or sleek as the Sony.

I bought the ENERMAX Liberty ELT500AWT ATX12V 500W It seems to work pretty well. I bought it on a whim, any opinions?

Anyone have an opinion on a Sony Cybershot DSC-W80? My girlfriend received it as a gift and I am wondering if it is worth keeping? Is there another camera in the same price range that is significantly better?

A pump BB gun or a CO2 gun can fire at several hundred feet per second. Also a pellet gun with a larger projectile can do even more damage.
