    Why Windows Causes Stupidity

    Just as a note: I have never had license problems with the OEM copies of Windows that I buy. I've even transferred license ownership, no problems there either.

    Wide angle

    Sold to the orange ball of fur! I think that lense is a great idea. It should make for some wonderful panoramic shots. I look forward to seeing some of them.

    How to lie effectively

    I don't live in a big city either. Technically, I live in a suburb, of roughly 76,000 people within an eighteen square mile area, called San Clemente. Right next door is a similarly sized Town, another next to that, etc. We are tightly packed with one (1) freeway with four lanes in each...

    How to lie effectively

    I can understand doing that on side streets and byways, you want to see the dummy before he hits you. Sneaking up from behind doesn't give you enough time to react. :D But I'm talking about groups of 20 or 50. They just crowd the street, traveling far under the speed limit, and they'll only...

    How to lie effectively

    Speaking of dangerous driving. Why is it that most cyclists (and we have a lot of them around here, usually in major packs racing on highways and major streets) don't stop at intersections or follow other rules of the road?

    How to lie effectively

    We don't have any around here. Where I live, regardless of whether you're on a highway, freeway, or avenue, the streets are packed with cars changing lanes without signaling, making turns into side-streets without signaling, passing on the left (it's legal), making hasty right turns on red...

    credit score

    Closing credit cards is not a bad thing. It actually helps with the amount of available credit you can be given. You keep your score high by making timely payments, and preventing someone from tampering with your credit stuff (theives, etc.). When it comes time for the mortgage company to...

    Camera suggestions please?

    :lol: As e-dawg mentioned in another thread: "Welcome to the 21st century my friends. Technology marches forward. Don't get trampled underfoot!" I stated that I would try my best, but you can be assured that there will be a measure of defiance. :cursin: :rant: :tounge: :bsmurf:

    looking for server case suggestions.

    Just an idea: Maybe a PSU at the bottom will fare better since it doesn't need to exhaust all of the heat from the case plus its own?

    Thanks for the tip fb. I purchased a bottle of Auchentoshan 21 year, and it is very good Lowland Scotch. Although, currently I prefer something slightly sweeter like Dalmore. I also purchased some Hennessy Paradis Extra -- WOW! That stuff is great! Hopefully, sometime during my life, I'll...

    Nichia Develops 60 Lumen Per Watt White LED

    Indeed, there is a difference. As a printing press operator, I worked under full spectrum bulbs to help provide correct color comparisons. They were great in that environment and for that purpose. :D You can do it jtr, yes you can! If anything, I have found that lighting is terribly...

    Computer eating software

    Indeed. Yet, to some extent, I expect woes with AOL -- they have been a plague on computers for many years. However, I have recently found that same sort of intertwined mess with Quickbooks. :(

    Computer randomly shuts off

    Craig, hard drives can also make sounds like a "laser beam" or a siren. If you've never heard it or seen it, you would be surprised that such a noise came from a hard drive.

    Computer randomly shuts off

    It's possible that the problem is related to viruses, but more than likely it is hardware. If you need to test with an anti-virus software, I would recommend removing your drive, installing it in another system for the scan, and using NOD32. For the hardware side of things, check to see if you...

    Nichia Develops 60 Lumen Per Watt White LED

    As much as I like my fancy fluorescents in the shop, I prefer incandescent everywhere else (although I don't always use them). For some reason, the warm light of an incandescent bulb just seems right in the house. I enjoy reading by it, and it works particularly well for dimming. I don't like...

    Castric acid comes from the casterium gland located where the duodenum terminates at the duodenojejunal flexure with the jejunum. Because it is suspended by the ligament of Treitz, it is susceptible to gyrations from the mesentery of the small intestines. :roll: IT'S A FREAKIN' TYPO! I had...

    There must be these terribly quick gnomes that roam the world, sabotaging all Asus and ATI things that go to Tony, and all WD stuff that goes to Mercutio. (Gnomes build PC Chips and ECS stuff just for fun.)

    Embracing technology? Best thing since hot chocolate? Laughable! Cell phones and PDAs have a basic function, which fill a niche need. I didn't get a cell phone until the need arose. Poor Fushigi has orders from his company to carry one around. Hey, if you need a cell phone because ten...

    Will beers explode in checked luggage?

    David, as sechs pointed out, the luggage compartment is pressurized. Check with customs if you can even bring alcohol into China. Even if it is legal, I could see the product confiscated by Chinese customs because they don't like the way you look. PS: Wine would be better. I have a weird...

    The perfect notebook

    Tony, you certainly have a full list. But as I see it, the problem is not that OEMs aren't manufacturing the notebook that you would drool over -- instead, the issue is that resellers like us aren't able to assemble our own notebook like we do every other system! Imagine a standard notebook...

    AMD sockets

    Being replaced in 2006 simply means that a new Socket will emerge. But if 939 is even close to A, it will still be around for a couple of years. My disti still has Socket A boards.

    That's why I prefer Diet Caffeine Coke. It isn't as sweet as regular colas. Plus, I mix it with rum that isn't very sweet, like Hana Bay Amber, Mount Gay, or Bacardi Dark. But I do understand what you mean. After a couple, they get sweet for me too. Then it's time to move on to Bourbon or...
