Nothing quite like a winter solstice pagan ritual out in the forest -- cooking ribeye steaks over an open flaming pit of hellfire. ;)

But, what about the Arctic Monkeys?

It was Cale Yarborough by two carlengths over Richard Petty.

Tea, I'm not on Mars, I'm on .MARS -- not much difference between the two planets, but, I doubt anyone cares. By the way, Tea, it seems those golden stanzas of my superb original poetry -- which I posted a couple of weeks ago here in this thread -- were enough of an inspiration to someone in...

Well, I decided to write some poetry. Here goes... I Got Pieces That Have Never Been Close To One Another (Ok, T-Bone, time for some serious crunching...) I'm using Windows, Windows Windows three eighty six, so all my applications are running at once. My report right now is scattered...

This is completely nuts, but, then again, so am I!

I've used the Antec 500-watt Earthwatt "80 Plus" rated (and 430-watt) power supplies as replacement power supplies in systems with either 20-pin or 24-pin mobos. They are well built units and less expensive than other available "80 Plus" power supplies. I only wish they came with an...

Yep. Sechxs is running SAS. I am running SAS. In fact, I believe we are both running the same 64-bit/133MHz PCI-X Adaptec 8-port SAS controller: 4 ports internal, 4 ports external. I'm NOT doing RAID at all with mine, just individual drive volumes and (potentially) JBOD. I've got 2-each 36...

Teannin: If you click "Custom" when you first start Windows Update, you can get the IE7 download. Microsoft moved IE7 from "High Priority" down one step in the hierarchy of updates to "Optional."

For Windows 2000 users (or earlier versions of Windose), use the utility TZEDIT.EXE -- which is available on the Windows Resource Kit CD-ROM or at Microsoft's website. Otherwise, you will have to hack the registry to change the start/stop Daylight Saving Time dates and times (PS: notice that I...

Seagate has been playing with HAMR (Heat Assisted Magnetic Recording) in the lab for *years* getting impressive results with "old style" longitudinal recording. I would venture to guess that Seagate initially got this idea from exploring Magneto-Optical recording technology -- of which they...

To make it brief, I've been outta town for a few weeks until today. Anyway, I'm reading through the newz and I'm trying to figure out this crapola with the comedian named Michael Richards (from TV show "Seinfeld" -- of which I never saw a single episode, just less-than-ten-second blips as I...
