What does everyone use to test websites they develop? At work I use: Firefox IE6 IE7 (only for finished products, as I have to use a coworker's machine to test this) Opera Safari At home I use: Firefox IE6 Opera Generally I have found that if it works in Firefox, it will work in...

I ended up ordering this from a local store. They were asking $240 for it, but I said I saw it on their website (horribly outdated, price was still $200 on the website) and they sold it to me for $200. Maybe they should update, that. Good for me though... It seems pretty comfortable, but I...

I think a waterbed would make me seasick.

Did you order it off the TeeVee? Do you have to pay return shipping costs?

I didn't catch that at all. I must be slower than the rest of the children. Back on topic. I spent a couple summers during school developing applications in Access. They really suck. I think the biggest problems we had was with Reference files. Will DAO 3.6 be compatible with 2003? How about...

I still haven't found a chair I want. But, now I am getting desperate, a piece of metal that holds the chair to the base is cracked and now I am sitting at about a 10% angle to the right. Not comfortable. Especially since I have to sit here and work on this freelance project the whole weekend...

All the Wireless Linksys routers I have used have died or developed problems within a year.

How big of a firm is this? Multiple offices? I talked to my friend who is an architect in Chicago and his office uses no kind of DMS. They just save stuff haphazardly to a shared drive. They don't even use any naming conventions. The office he is in is about 40-50 people, but the entire company...

It's great when companies refuse to consider open source software. My current company will almost always consider an OSS alternative, this is a good thing. We use Visual Source Safe for document management on Windows servers, it is pretty slow and annoying to use, but it serves its purpose. We...

Here is a good article for Stereodude. ;-)

I am convinced that XP is much less stable than 2000. My work computer runs XP and I am always having to restart because the OS just stops working correctly. I lose the ability to open folders or control panels or IE. This never happened in 2000 or in 2003 Server.

Never heard that one before. This makes it clearer: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pablum

Not quite as bad as the blower motor on my heat pump breaking. Going to cost me close to $400.

The site was down for at least an hour this morning.

Anyone ever been to this before? Looks like it would be a good time. Maybe I will try to go in 2008, when I have a bit more vacation time built up.

The BMW might drive really nicely, but I just wouldn't trust the reliability. I have friends who drive Audis and BMWs and those things are in the shop constantly. The repairs are also much more than on a standard American or Japanese car. Let us know if it holds up, if you get it.

It is a radio. http://www.woot.com/Blog/BlogEntry.aspx?BlogEntryId=2067

Well, maybe in 2008.

That was what I was thinking too. $140 for an extra 1.25" of driver probably won't make that much of a difference on the two speakers that are used the least. I think I would rather spend that $140 on a new receiver to replace my aging/crappy s*ny that is at least 7 years old.

The site was down again for about 3-5 minutes.

That is good to hear. Do you think the cheaper NHT speakers I linked above will be fine or should I go for the larger more expensive ones?

This is what I was envisioning. My drawing is a bit crude, but gets the point across.

Yeah, I understand your point. But, I am convinced that I can find something better this time. I might end up increasing my budget. But, I am still looking for recommendations if anyone has any.

I sat on an Aeron for one day at my last job and it killed my back. I messed with the controls to try to get it comfortable, but I just couldn't find a good way to set it to make it work for me. I don't know why it is so hard to find an office chair that has a sturdy metal frame without...

My couch is right up against the wall. I really can't move it out because the room is pretty narrow and I need as much room as possible. I assume this will make the sound suffer, but I am unwilling to give up any more floor space. I live in a fairly small condo. Those rockets are a bit...

Are they at ear level? Is your couch right up against the wall?

I am looking for a new office chair. I have had the same chair for about 7 years and it is starting to fall apart pretty badly. I would like to get something with a metal frame as it seems this would last longer/not break as easily. My budget is in the $200-300 range. Here is one option, I...

There really aren't any walls nearby, which is why I think I am going to have to mount behind the couch. Anyone have experience with this kind of setup?

It is starting to get annoying. It seems like there are paper launches years before things are actually available. No more press releases until I can actually buy the product!

Those say they are best for side-wall mounting. I am planning on mounting them behind the couch or slightly to the side on the same wall as the couch.

I am planning on buying some rear speakers and a new center channel. Currently I have a pair of NHT 2.5i's for my fronts and an old center channel that I am not satisfied with. My couch is up against the rear wall, so I plan on wall mounting either a pair of these or a pair of these. I think...

I am really hoping a good, affordable SSD becomes available this year (36GB+). I think I will hold out.

I don't think I would buy a used keyboard either, but mainly for the gross-out factor. Used keyboards could be filled with all kinds of gross stuff, bacteria/fungus/who knows what else. However, those IBM keyboards are built pretty solid, so I doubt they would fail all that rapidly.

I think it was 2002. I am pretty sure these Join Dates are correct.

That is the keyboard I have. I don't know about used keyboards though. This keyboard is generally pretty inexpensive, but as far as I can tell pretty reliable.

The site was just down again for maybe 10-15 minutes. Then, I got a "Database" Error and then it came back up again.

Anyone want to guess how much it will cost?

Worse than this?

I have a feeling if someone mentions WD in Merc's presence he starts to dry heave.

That would mean using a WD drive. You really think Merc would do that?

I used an Enermax PS that is about 3 years old and had no problem in the P180.

I have noticed the same thing over the last couple weeks.

I think about blocking the Yahoo robot. Why would it be making over 100 connections to the server at the same time?

I will take those 750s.

It could have been powered with a splitter. I replaced my case since then so everything is connected differently now. I don't really need the space right now or want to lose upto 250GB of data is the drive is bad, so I think I will just leave it in a box for the time being.

I thought of that too, but why only that one drive spinning down and not any of the other ones?

I had a WD drive that started doing this a couple months ago. I don't know if the drive is bad or not. I replaced it with a Samsung drive and I haven't had the problem since. I have 5 drives in my system and the WD is the only one that was having a problem. I don't know if I would trust this...

I wonder when it will become available to normal people? I think I would pay up to $250-300 for that drive. $600 is pretty steep.
