    Ah yes, the Falkland Islands. I forgot about that. I saw the event on television. When I first heard about it, I was shocked.

    $2 bills are only rare in that they are seldom used. Go to your bank and ask for some $2 bills, they'll have them. I even paid a friend off in 100 $2 bills (most seemed to still be in uncirculated condition and had some contiguous serial numbers). United States currency presently uses blue...

    3Ware or Adaptec for RAID

    I have not used an Adaptec RAID card. I have used 3ware, and am quite happy with it. I'm presently running and Escalade card 24/7 in a NT Server (it has been runing for 2 years). It was even detected under RedHat 7.1.

    New Version of Trillian is Available

    The software is pretty nice and certainly worth the download if you use any of the "popular" versions. It is worth dropping ICQ®, AIM®, MSN® Messenger, Yahoo!® Messenger and IRC for this software. It is kind of like dropping Windows for an Operating System more worthy of your use.

    ESD

    Yes Mercutio, dry air is bad. They get especially bad around my area in the fall when we get particular weather systems that blow in hot air from the desert and drop our humidity down to 20% or less. You can put a sheet of paper on the desk and watch it curl as the humidity slowly leaves...

    ESD

    Electro-Static Discharge is a big deal. Your body is an excellent conductor of electricity because of the high water and salt content (pure water is an insulator, not a conductor). As we create friction, free electrons are just itching to leave our body. Once that moment arises, they leave at...

    The CPU Cooler Snap Judgement Guide

    A true technician Dan is: "What's the most important thing I've learned, though? Probably this: Nothing gets thermal grease off stuff like naptha lighter fluid. And if the stain just won't budge, naptha also makes it easier to destroy the evidence."

    The premise is not just based on greater loss, but also the location of the battles. If the United States had its country torn to shreds on numerous occassions by wars they started, or did not start, their impressions of another war would be different.

    All the more reason to keep television viewing to a minimum. Television and film studios have the inclination to sensitize our minds to what is truly dreadful, and then play our minds like a puppeteer for their own interest. The events that occurred on September 11th of last year are alarming...

    How about a computer system that uses the heat generated by various chips to run a generator that powers the system itself? Have a self contained unit that takes advantage of its own heat.

    Hansol Monitors

    Does anyone have any experience with these monitors? I was looking at the 720E as a low end 17" monitor. I was also comparing that with LG International's LGX710 17" monitor, which happens to be US$6.00 cheaper for me to buy. Both of which are cheaper then the Samsung 750s by at least US$20.00.

    Damn drawing software tools!

    The problem Coug is that you don't have the experience to create an image with 3D looks with a computer. Since you are a handy artist, I would recommend drawing it and scanning it in - at least everything but the text. Then use your drawing program to create the text and you're done.
