Insomnia sucks. Especially when you run out of alcohol. What to do when no-one is posting to SR or SF? 1. Refresh the forums as fast as your web connection (and Firefox) can handle it. 2. Read a slashdot thread in the gaming section on "-1" Damn, I'm not even creative enough to think up...

Thoughts? Just finnished downloading it (links to DL and BT on /.) Looks pretty good. Plays REALLY fast on my current machine.

Well, I'd reccomend putting quieter fans in it rather than disconnecting half of them. Once you have the chasis open, you should be able to identify the fans that are there now. With that info, you can find a quieter one with somewhere close to the same airflow. Just be careful, it may have a...

Just what I thought. But laptops of this caliber shouldn't even come with batteries. That space would be better spent trying to cool this beast. Most people who require this kind of horsepower have an outlet handy anyway (conference rooms, movie/TV sets, aircraft). And for those who need a...

I know many, many users who buy PCs based on their spec; having no basis for their own needs at all. A new client recently bought a 3GHz P4 with 1GB RAM and a 160GB HDD for their small business (2 employees). They'd been watching the market for a few weeks and saw "a good deal" for ~$1800...

My favorite Going to be in LA this weekend. No idea where to go.

No kidding. Once it was "my fault", due to failure to do enough stuff. I no longer do suprise things, just in case they aren't up to snuff.

Tannin, Humorus, calming, and consoling all in one breif post. And that picture is great!

The only one that jumped out at me was png, it might have gotten jpg and gif as well. No big deal, really.

I hate it. Fortunatly, a friend's b-day is on v-day :D And it helps to be able to concentrate on that.

Yes, this new firefox is ridiculously fast. Daddy like :D I wish it hadn't taken over all those file associations, though :(

But have you ever tried sticking an entire tree in your pipe and smoking it? It's a little rough on the teeth...

A more amazing multi-personality post-padder I have never seen...

Thanks, the SME530 looks interesting. I've seen boxes that do e-mail filtering like a firewall. It is attached in series with your normal firewall and filters all the mail stuff I want (passing through the rest). I can't remember the name, and it only did mail, but it sounded very interesting.

That's nice :P So now I have a thread with 5 replys, all OT :cry: Help? Please?

Putting a G550 in a server seems like...oh, I don't know....massive overkill! Besides the unnecissary power consumption, it's a pretty big waste of cash... If your GF doesn't want it, I might be able to take it off your hands ;)

yep. thanks ;)

Doh! Wrong forum.....:(

I'm in need of a firewall that can perform the following services (in order of importance): 1. Typical firewall stuff 2. Web filtering (adult content, blacklist support, etc) 3. E-mail filtering (adult content, spam, virii, etc) 4. Web interface 5. Some form of per-connection bandwidth...

And this is absolutely brilliant.

My current favorite...

This site makes me laugh every time. http://www.despair.com/

Yes, calling this thing a "laptop" will no doubt result in lawsuits....this will cook your drawers in no time. But I might actually consider one if they removed the battery completely and threw in a raptor...

Works fine for me...very funny http://www.dilbert.com/comics/dilbert/archive/images/dilbert20012199640204.gif for those where the link doesn't work...

Nah, just a LOT of Pr0n

The only difference I'd expect is less stability. I have no doubt that it is the path of the future and allows for more powerfull systems; but right now all I'd expect is less mature code.

Re: FINALLY TOOK THE JUMP!! I use a Xerox multifunction that can scan @ ~ 40ppm (just a guess) and send them to your inbox. It's a pretty happy thing if you want to get the equivalent of a book into PDF before lunch.

Yes. I think all textbooks should have this written on the cover ;)

Well, if you guys are interested, I can contribute my 2xWD360GDs in RAID0 on 3112R to the mix... I have a couple of them. As a note, I don't believe this config has given me any more than a 5% boost in anything I do; I'm just too lazy to switch back...

Figure Skating, Olympic Diving, and Ice Carving..... Have the drivers slowly etch away at the bottom of the ice as the figure skaters must avoid the traps being set for them :D

Hell, make it one/90 days...I don't change my mind that often!

BTW, My GF was so impressed with the 5900K lights in my bedroom that I got her some for christmas (as well as the usual 4k jewlery)! I've never given lightbulbs as a gift before, you should have seen the look on her parent's (ignorant-assed) faces :D

All the stoplights here have been LCD for quite some time. As soon as they get LCDs bright enough, I'm sure they'll replace the street lights as well.

Well, you are more forunate than I in this respect. I need to drive across town to find a decent Thai meal ;)

Yeah, I'll second everythging that's been said so far. And don't have anything original to add at all :roll:

Anyone care to drool with me? http://autos.msn.com/advice/article.aspx?contentid=4022336&src=msn I don't care what they say, I think the Benz is beautiful.

I'm suprised that no one has mentioned trillian as the IM client of choice. At least it was when I was doing that kind of social thing...now I don't want the girls to communicate with each other ;) l8r........(j/k) :P

Yep, it's back

Another good example: In Monterey, a tourist once asked me "why do the birds only sit on the white rocks?"

Down again (12:00AM PST)...anyone else?

nope, she never left twice in the same hour ;)

We had a receptionist who took way too many breaks. I connected a straight though serial cable to the back of her PC and put the other end on her monitor pointing at her. I told her it would dock her pay if she left more than once an hour. ;)

Ain't this the truth. Oakland dockworkers get $110k, crane operators $150k and data entry people get $85k. All with the best holiday schedule and benefits. Too bad you have to know someone to get in...

Nice, how many galons/mile?

?? link? ??

Well, you know what they say...it's not illegal unless someone objects ;) But really, I ran the numbers for my GF and they stated that 17.5 would be OK.
