:confused: Pretty much all the big chain stores here were open yesterday except Costco.

Steve Jobs could take a dump in a paper bag and sell 700,000 of them to his sheople.

Any phone that supports Google Maps, or are you looking for something more?

Ah, yes... Ad Hominem attacks. Welcome to the discussion! ;)

You've got to be kidding me. The system are horrific. There's a reason why doctors don't want to accept Medicare / Medicaid. They get paid peanuts, have all sorts of nutty paperwork requirements, and it becomes not worth it. Social Security is a national embarrassment. Perhaps you missed...

You will be when they cease to exist. :scratch:

I disagree. The gov't will do a far worse job just like they do with pretty much everything. Regardless, this charade is only the first step. You'll be required to buy insurance, and the insurance companies have their hands so tied by the legislation they won't be able to make any money, so...

Just because you don't believe it doesn't make it not true. Someone somewhere is going to decide who gets treated and who doesn't. They're going to decide which treatments are covered and which ones aren't. I don't need to cite sources. It's common sense. You simply can't give everyone a...

So you don't believe that people are trying to legalize marijuana in California? And you don't believe that California has passed increasingly stringent cigarette legislation? Or, are you simply disputing the fact that both are done by groups of people who are liberal? Uh, there will...

To which? Liberals are the same people who want to legalize Marijuana, and liberals want to stop everyone from smoking cigarettes. They want to start taxing legal pot to make up their budget shortfall. My question is, where will anyone be able to smoke their legal pot?

Yes, I believe that the vast majority of the media is liberal and presents the news with a liberal agenda. I am not remotely alone in my feelings. Their ratings / circulation is plummeting for a reason. I didn't say anything about normal or abnormal. If I wanted to be a socialist I'd move to...

You and Merc are just so used to the liberal clap trap from NBC, ABC, CBS, CNN, MSNBC, etc that you think FOX News is heavily biased to the right. Funny you chose to talk about the frog in hot water...

Anything that's not blatantly pushing a liberal agenda.

I didn't say anything about medical marijuana use. :confused:

No thanks, but I have enough liberal media in my life, so I'll pass on NLPR. Good for him. That only makes him wrong, like he has been on a lot of issues lately.

Maybe you can explain to my why the same people who want to outlaw smoking cigarettes because it's bad want to legalize marijuana.

So I should start watching commercials when I watch TV now? You can apply the same logic to TV and radio ads. I don't watch TV ads (skip them courtesy of a DVR or edit them out entirely on my PC, and I don't listen to the radio because of the advertising). If their business model is broken...

No, I'm dead serious. Why would you think I'm joking? Look at what California and New York have been up to in terms of smoking, transfats, salt in food, etc.

You've figured it out the end game of the legislation. It's got very little to do with health care and plenty to do with controlling the populace.

He's overly paranoid. That's why he won't sell any of his old camera gear that's collecting dust either.

If you say so... Those look pretty crappy to me.

Because for every problem there is an inelegant and costly solution just waiting to be used. :beye:

Curiosity of course.

No, my stove and microwave are not plugged into a UPS. Are yours? :confused:

I saw this just now. It's pretty cheap for SATA cables.

Well, it's handy for knowing when and how long the power was out for when you get back from work and have to reset a bunch of clocks because the power went out.

Jumping someone in a back alley still means the same thing it used to. Jumping the shark however, does not mean you're mugging / beating up a shark.

What do you think it means?

But yet the people you call to protect you from criminals when a crime is being perpetrated against you have guns. Why is it ok for the police to use and possess guns as a deterrent, but not everyday citizens?

I've got no idea on that one...

What kind of events? PowerChute Business Edition has an Events Log and a Data log (no graphs though). The Events Log looks like: The Data log updates every 1 second to 59 minutes 59 seconds (user adjustable), and records: Input Line Voltage (VAC), UPS Output Voltage (VAC), Output Frequency...

As I understand it, the nozzles are flushed without syrup at the beginning and end of each pour. Watch any soft drink dispenser and you'll see it starts and ends with clear liquid. There may be some additional cleaning that is done at some regular interval. I'm certainly no expert on fountain...

They sell Mexican bottles of Coke at Costco. I think it's $18.75 for 24 glass bottles.

For the most part I don't drink soda either. I my freshman year of college after I got my first cavity from drinking it all the time (due to easy access). However, they've got people who don't drink soda covered with the Freestyle machine as well. It offers several flavors of Dasani water and...

Quite sanitary. How would they not be sanitary? The use filtered city water, carbonate it (if necessary) and add the flavors as needed.

The 5400RPM Samsung's are rated 1 in 10^15. I'm not sure which is more likely.

I guess you guys don't have APC Smart-UPS units. They have a ton of options to set through the software interface.

Well, there are about 60 of them deployed in the US right now. Here's the list of locations. FWIW, I used one in Atlanta. Here's another good story about them. You can try a lot of different flavors. For example, there are 6 flavors of just Coke (if I'm remembering right). And, you can get...

These machines are very cool! 104 drink choices! Video Orange Coca-Cola is pretty good, as is the Lime Coca-Cola flavor.

Are you sure those will work? It doesn't specify the spacing of the screw holes. I compared several PCI cards that I had lying around and they all had different spacings. I have a goofy upside down Lian-Li ATX case, so I hung the fan from top with zip ties and adhesive cable tie mounts.

That depends on the UBE rate for the drive. Some drives are 1 for every 10^15 bits read, others are 1 for every 10^14 bits read. If you are using the 10^14 drives once you have a 11.37TB RAID-5 array you're at 100% for encountering a UBE based on an oversimplification of the specs. In...

I'm using Syncback.

That depends on your UPS. Some APC's have very little capability others have extensive controls.

I didn't have any issues dealing with him. I bought 4 between myself and my buddy.

The D is slightly different too.

Here's a link to the seller on overclock.net.

That's the guy I bought mine from (since the name is the same). They weren't "BNIB" though. I guess he's moved up from selling on overclock.net's forum. I'd say throw in an offer that's a bit less and see what happens.

I have an 80mm fan blowing across it. I left the heatsink alone.

That slashdot poster has no idea what they're talking about. The problem occurs when a UBE is encountered during a rebuild. During a rebuild there's no extra parity data to calculate what the bit from the drive with the UBE should be. A good controller will continue rebuilding and log the...

That would be RAID-3 or 4. RAID-5 has always had distributed parity as far as I'm aware.
