I play games on my 42" 1080P hooked up to my computer, and it kicks the ass of any console. It better, considering the cost, but it really is. I've played PS3 and the rest at Fry's on the big HD screen, but it isn't as good. Besides the obvious advantages of the interface (keyboard and mouse)...

I typically carry 2GB files around. The smallest are multi-MB RAW files and the largest are system images. They are the quickest I've tried for this stuff.

Nice. But I still stick to the "GT" version. Seems they only have the 8GB model, and it is a pricey sucker.

I think it's mainly because it is much warmer.

It is a screen cap from a BBC channel 4 TV show called "Grand Designs". Season 4, episode 3 - "Sugar Cube Sussex". I've been to the website, and gone down the list of credited suppliers, and can't find anything like it.

Damn, that sounds good to me.

I was trying to sell her on the buy one/get one free mentality. That what her religion really wanted was big happy families, not single moms who couldn't support their kids. She disagreed, saying that every child should be born. No wonder we're going to lose this...they'll just out number us.

Can anyone identify this sink/workstation or one like it? I like the concept, and would like to see more. There are trays that slide around a circular track, and a couple sinks underneath.

My only complaint about my current mouse is that it could be about 10% larger. Although wood would be a nice look and feel, it would be too heavy for me. The less inertia the better.

nice story

I know some things about Champagne, though I prefer Veuve-Clicquot to most of them. In wine, I stick to Cabernet and Merlot. My favorite "cheap stuff" is Page Mill Winery and Galante Vineyards. It's easy to like the stuff that costs $100+ per bottle. Finding good wine for less is the adventure.

Sounds good Merc, though I will be reducing the spice by a factor of 10 or so. I'll also probably throw in some flank steak that I've marinated in tequila and lime juice and seared on the grill. (That is my favorite topping for pizza, BTW).

oops. missed the page wrap. What would you guys recommend?

Jamba Juice is nice. I'm not PUI, as I could barely finish a single drink. I'm not sure what you guys were going on about, this stuff is crap. I'm going back to my Vodka. If my choice is wrong enough to completely miss the flavor, let me know and I will try something else.

Everyone has been talking about whiskey, so I figured I would try some. I bought a bottle of Johnnie Walker Black (12yr) and am trying it straight, rocks, and water-back (or however you call it). All of them make me do that head-shaking thing that sorority girls get teased for. More details to...

I agree that we need to get the debt eliminated, but I'm sure I could find a way to do it without raising taxes. Some people might not like me, but the economy would be doing a hell of a lot better. Hillary is fine. She's old-school Washington, and has been taking money from the usual suspects...

I would prefer Obama to Hillary, but I don't think that is going to happen, and I don't really "like" either; they are just better than what we have now. Might we see Obama as VP? I think you have a pretty good analysis of the conservative side, and I don't fit in anywhere. What happened to...

Yup. It rained like crazy here, though it never got below 55F. I don't recall any chili conversations, though I am interested in trying out any suggestions.

Sweet guys. I had them just order three smoothwalls and three whitebox 1TB servers to handle this. I'll have a while to play with it before it goes live. The smoothwalls are going to be fun; each office has 2 internet connections (T-1 and Cable/DSL) that should be tied in somehow. One of the...

Interesting. Looks like they are covering their asses with their UV/IR cameras.

Programming in assembly? Damn, you are a geek. I teach Argentine tango, race my sailboat, and do indoor speed climbing.

Yeah, I've been reading about ZFS and it sounds really cool. I'm looking into DFS now. Looks like I need 2003R2 to get it?

Not necessarily. That is the problem with root kits. You could try an in-place OS repair, see where that gets you.

The government has learned that so long as they keep the normal people doing their normal thing, they could nuke France without an uprising. They are doing everything they can to maintain the status quo until they are out of power, then they can blame the depression on their opponents.

That does depend. If it's Office and Firefox, no problem. One of my clients has a legacy app that only installs on Win98. The only way to get the app running on XP is to install Win98, install the app, and then do an upgrade. This is slower than cleaning out the machine.

I think I need to investigate setting some kind of distributed file system. I need a single drive letter at every desk in every office that points to the same share. Unfortunatly, the files in question (mostly Quickbooks) are too big to simply transfer over the VPN on demand. Therefore I need...

Of course, some part of me thought that I was better at flipping things out of the pan than I actually am, so now I have a nice grease burn/blister right on the end of my primary mouse-finger.

I have a fondness for foods that can be cooked, cooled, and eaten in about the same time frame. Example: Warm up the pan, start making quesadillas, continue to cook, cool and eat until full.

Making it a bootable CD would mean re-burning the disk every time an update came out. Even if it was on USB there would be a process involved. I typically do what you have done: connect their hard drive to my own system. Is sending NOD32 and the other standard tools at it the best method?

And I think I know what you thought I thought you thought I meant. So I'm glad we have that squared away. ;)

Damn that looks cool.

You really had my hopes up for a sec...actual dimensions 8"x6" Still a great deal.

No...losing yourself in the problem, not being free from the problem. If you wanted to avoid spending money and thinking about photography all the time, you have come to the wrong place.

Nice Piyono, admitting you have a problem is the first step to losing yourself in the problem.

Handruin, I appreciate your intention and happen to share the opinion of you, jtr, and the video. But the more fundamental point is that these people who have not thought through the topic still hold their views, and will continue to regardless of any argument or persuasion. I had a female...

That is neat, but it seems he's done some customization and tweaking that is outside my linux skills. No matter, I have my own VM that I've been using for this project ;)

What are peoples thoughts on having bank accounts tied to the Euro instead of the Dollar? IIRC, a number of institutions offer such things. Sure, it wouldn't do much if the entire system fell apart.

I'll stay out of this one, thanks. I've found that people have very strong opinions on this subject and don't change them.

The Razer Copperhead that I use now is less than a year old and is still part of their product line. The Habu is the same for all the stuff that matters and the BoomSlang is actually worse. It's not cheap, but I stopped skimping on the interface a long time ago. Even if what I'm doing isn't...

Seriously no posts all day? What's going on?

I'd heard that China was controlling their currency, but I didn't know India was doing it as well.

That does make sense, Tim. Of course, the fund managers might find a way to keep it...

Wow. Yeah, quite horrifying.

I didn't reply to your posts because I agreed with them and didn't have much to add.

I watched the first one, and I actually liked it (though a bit slow). My GF didn't though, too real (death of cute things and such).

Wow. Good stuff. And no, Tannin, I wouldn't have been able to help with this yet. I will at some point, but not yet. Thanks for the info Handruin.

Ugh... Good quote: I think there is some potential there, but I would use a pepper-cheeze and put some more effort into the technique.

...and what does that tell you about the American consumer? That is the fundamental problem that needs to be fixed. We need a smarter population.

I think the word "potential" has the most significance in your post, Time. All this has done is increase the potential in the upcoming fall. By "saving the day" before the common American even knew what happened, no corrective actions are being taken by the people. All this does is allow them...

The fact that they squeeze more money from those that have more money makes sense to me. If they averaged the price to something like $1 per pill, how many in third world countries would not be able to buy? The fact that our patent system sucks doesn't mean that a company shouldn't do what it...
