    Something Random

    A black bear went on a binge at a campsite in the US state of Washington - guzzling down some 36 cans of beer.

    How come this forum doesn't allow editing?

    I am not a fan of editing. Make a double post with corrections if it matters that much.

    Moving (Sucks)

    My lease is up and I am moving back home for a couple months. Didn't get started earlier because I am really really lazy.

    Moving (Sucks)

    Ahhhh shit, I have to pack everything in the house where I live by tomorrow at noon. I just started about an hour ago. This is going to be a disaster.

    SF vs. SR

    Umm, I think it is en.wikipedia.org. I don't even visit SR anymore. None of the discussions are interesting over there. Plus, we got Merc!

    Promise SX6000 Raid Issues

    I have seen used units for less then $50 before. They aren't top of the line or anything, but it should work for testing computer equipment. Check eBay.

    The Best Mice are back...

    I'm not left handed, but I use my mouse with my left hand. The Microsoft Wireless Optical Mouse Blue works pretty well for me, it can be used with either hand without discomfort. It does skip a little bit if it is moved too fast. But, it only cost $25. Microsoft stopped making it, but you...

    WOW, Seagate ups warranty to 5 years.

    Well lots of them do. The IBM divisions are completely separate and the server division will use whatever drive they can get for the cheapest price. They don't play favorites, so many IBM servers have Seagate drives in them.

    27 hours

    DD will be fine. I have taken road trips where I have driven for a good 30-35 hours without sleeping. Aspen to Denver where the car broke down and took 4 hours to fix, then to Chicago, then to Madison, WI. That whole trip was about 35 hours and there were about 5 hours when we weren't...

    WOW, Seagate ups warranty to 5 years.

    Three years is fine for me. I never really keep a drive around long enough for a five year warranty to matter.

    Best, most efficent DVD ripper software, and reader?

    There is no difference anymore. I use Power DVD because it is more feature rich. Plus, WinDVD was crashing my machine for some unknown reason.

    Housing price growth is finally slowing down

    It costs $1.75 to ride the El in Chicago. Boston - $1 Philadelphia $2 Atlanta $1.75 San Francisco bus/train - $1.25 So there is one city where it costs $1. JTR you really need to check your facts before spouting things off.

    Something Random

    I really wasn't all that impressed with Spiderman 2. I thought it was slow, the plot weak and the action scenes not all that impressive. I don't know how it achieved the biggest first weekend ever, maybe everyone in the country was bored out of their wits? I thought that X-men 2 was a far...

    skinny cows low fat ice cream

    My knees were bothering me when I started running, but I saw a sports trainer and he gave me a bunch of stretches to do that really helped. He also told me to do squats to strengthen my upper legs. Haven't really had any problems lately.

    skinny cows low fat ice cream

    Fushigi- The fastest way to burn calories is to run. You can run anywhere, and at just about any time of the year. Treadmills are not fun. Since you are not actually moving it feels like you aren't actually moving and you will just continually look at how far you have gone or how long you...

    Need suggestion for good free web based email

    I think the coolest thing about gmail is how fast it is. That's the problem I always have with Yahoo mail is that it is incredibly slow. Plus there are ads everywhere. The text ads on Google are not annoying at all either which is a bonus.

    Home Theater 'kit' Recommendations, About $1,000

    Please don't buy Klipsch speakers. There are countless reasons, the most important being that they use horns. Which are fine for use in a stadium, but don't really sound very good in a home setting. I would go for an Onkyo receiver, but I don't know about buying a package. I really don't...

    One artist caught my eye and that was Durutti Column. Durutti was a Spanish Anarchist that lead a division called the Durutti Column in Aragon during 1936. What kind of music is this anyways?

    [NEWZ] Indiana Boy Wins Spelling Bee

    I was watching the National Geographic bee a couple weeks ago. The questions were really hard and studying a dictionary for 4 hours a day won't help either. I had no idea what the winning word meant.

    Cheap Laser Printer Recommendations?

    Check out toner prices on eBay. I can get toner for like a quarter the price that Office Max or Best Buy want to charge. Never had a problem with the toner from eBay either.

    Cheap Laser Printer Recommendations?

    I bought a HP LJ5 for about $140 2 years ago. It had about a 7,000 page count at the time. Works perfectly. Highly reccommended. The only gripe I have is the warmup time, which takes about 45 seconds.

    WTF does god have to do with guns? I wish the US could do something like Canada and have low crime rates and lots of guns. I have nothing bad to say about hunting with guns. It seems to me that gangs are far more to blame than guns are. Why are there over 600 murders a year in Chicago...

    When I was working for a repair shop a couple years ago they were charging $59/hour for labor. House calls were $59 to drive there and $59/hour with a 1/2 hour minimum. So the minimum amount of money that a house call would cost would be $88.50, even if I only had to drive 2 minutes. Even at...
