I'm sure they cost a small fortune too.

Are Dell's high-end servers as bad as their desktop computers?

Nice list, Bozo. The next time that someone tells me that they are getting a Dell I will send them your list.

My problem is that my case is almost full. I already have 5 hard drives. Anything bigger is too expensive for my taste.

In regards to Mercutio's post a few up. If you think that is interesting you should really read American Theocracy. I am about 3/4 done and with each page I become more scared. Too bad I don't speak German or I would move there.

I think there is a higher chance that a copper penny is rare than a zinc one. This would aid in sorting through hundreds of pennies very quickly.

Sold out. I bought one the last time it was on Woot. It seems to work fine. I am not keeping anything important on it though.

Someone that supports gay marriage as Governor of Texas? I doubt it.

So does Maxthon.

I think you will see even more progress if you start lifting now. Having more muscle will increase your metabolism. Your weight probably won't drop if you start lifting, but you will have less fat %, which is what you want in order to be healthier. Keep running too though, cardio is important...

I spend about $4500 a year owning a car that I drive about 2 times per month. I still owe about $6000 on it. So, it wouldn't make a lot of sense to sell it at this point. The interest rate on the loan is 0.9%, so I am paying very little in interest. If I get married I will go down to one car. No...

Remember that about a third of the American populace is composed of Evangelical people. These are the third that will stand behind Bush until the Armegeddon.

Meebo even keeps chat logs now, if you setup an account.

I use www.meebo.com while at work and I use Gaim at home. Neither of these are a security threat to use.

Interesting. I wonder if they will sell stuff through their online store as well. I do hate Walmart in principal, but if their price is low enough, even I can be convinced.

Good one.

Sounds like a good 'ol pissin' contest to me. Let me join. My system is so stable that any program will run well. Even iTunes and Acrobat at the same time.

So no else is interested in my proposal?

Fold is pretty sweet. Almost a desktop in a webbrowser. It only works with Firefox compatible browsers, so don't bother if you still use IE. I am not sure about compatibility with Opera, nor do I care.

iTunes is free. I don't pay for things unless I HAVE to. If I only open iTunes about once a month and use it for 10 minutes or less should I spend money on something else? It is not like I am supporting Apple by using it. In fact it probably costs THEM money for me to download the latest...

What a senseless drain on resources. Humans are really stupid.

I would definitely like to discuss it here. But, we need to get a few more people to read it. We already know that Mercutio owns the book. Anyone else interested in reading American Theocracy? I will even offer to ship the book to anyone in the continental USA via USPS media mail once I am...

So is this needed/useful on Windows XP or 2003 Server?

If all you use iTunes for is dragging music onto an iPod, it really isn’t that bad. There are dozens of other software packages that are loads worse.

So do people actually have lawns that require watering in Australia? What is completely idiotic to me is people have lawns in Southern California that have to be watered everyday to stay alive. These people live in a desert!!! They have to pipe water from the Colorado River hundreds of miles...

Where are you moving to? Have you finally broken down and decided to abandon the good 'ol US of A?

I bet you already know more than you think you do. Designing a good website is more about implementing things you like from other sites. Things to keep in mind: - use a navigation scheme that makes sense - Easy to read, simple design is good - Meta tags are good, use them - good art can make...

The library near me is not much better. Unless you like smelly homeless people that rant loudly to no one in particular and computers that look like they have 4 mm of black grit on the keyboards. Requesting a book from another Chicago Public Library takes an inordinate amount of time...

Maybe you need a new web person. I am available for local freelance work...(has to be after hours and weekend though, because I work a regular job) I even know CSS and how to use Dreamweaver, notepad, and any other program.

Mubs, do you want to borrow the book when I am done reading it? I feel bad buying a hard cover book, reading it, and then putting it on a bookshelf to gather dust for all eternity. USPS media mail is pretty cheap for shipping.

Since American Theocracy deals with current events it would be a good idea to start reading it as soon as possible, especially since you already own it. Many of the events that the author writes about happened in late 2005. The book will still be relevant later, but it will have the largest...

Is this OS specific? I am running an Athlon XP 3000+ on Wink2k3. When I try to start the program I get an error that says: "This program must be run on AMD Athlon/Duron." What am I doing wrong here?

I ended up buying American Theocracy after Amazon gave me $30 for free for signing up for a credit card. Suckers...I will never use it again. Anyways, the book is very interesting. With each passing page I hate GWB even more. I also wonder what this country will be like in 5-20 years. I think...

Do you want to trade for the SODIMM?

I didn't know that a corporation could go to hell? Learn something new everyday. I was just looking through Dell's offerings and most of their entry level and mid-level systems only come with 512MB. 512MB is usable though if you don't have a lot of programs running in the background. Hell, my...

Wow. You must be bored.

I agree. Some entry level computers still only have 256MB of RAM.

I have a Skagen watch that is made of Titanium. https://commerce76.datapipe.com/skagen/store.asp?area=FullProduct&productID=121

I must have turned off the email notification. Back on now.

I checked and I have the Oasys. I don't think I like them. I bought 4 boxes of them too. They bother me more than any of the previous brands I have used. Got any recommendations on what to switch to next time?

I couldn't tell you. I have never used an R series before. I bet Mercutio knows.

I like the T series too. I would have seriously looked at a T42 or T43 or the new T60 which I haven't seen before.

That seems rather expensive for what they are giving you.

My point remains. If you want a site that is: "added to easily, spell checked, and modified easily" then you need to set it up in a content management system. Unless you want to teach your user how to write html in notepad and teach them about apache directory structure and how to use FTP.

I think you need to talk with a professional web developer. That site looks like it is straight out of 1998. A good firm can redesign the site and build it to work with a content management system that will make updates simple for a non-technical person. There are a multitude of content...

Google has kind of integrated the calendar with Gmail now. There is a link to it in the upper left and you add event info to any messages you are sending. Is there a way to have the Calendar generate an email as a reminder for an event? I don't keep the calendar open at all times so I won't get...

An interesting article, talk about short sightedness.

I think my new contacts are Acuvue Oasys. I don't know that I like how they feel as much as any other lens I have used in the past. I will have to check on this when I get home.

They are talking about LG drives, not Sony.

There is also a woot off alert program if anyone is interested. I haven't tried it yet, so don't hold me responsible if it hoses your system.
