I have a 1GB MiniSD card with an adapter to standard SD size I am considering using my my new camera. Should I expect any speed or compatability problems using the mini-sd card (with adapter)? Should I just get a standard SD card? Thanks, C

Merry Christmas. :-)

the eyes look satanic/freaky!

That board works great & is still in service. Highly recommend it.

Got any more info? :-P I don't think he's posted here in a while.

Anyone see Blake lately?

My brother-in-law who is a police officer sent me a PPT file with information about ATM card thefts. I did a quick conversion to html using PPT to share with you guys. Good info. Pictures don't look right unless you view the page with MSIE. Be aware while you are at the ATM...

jtr- You probably are familiar, but if you want to get two separate 120V circuts on one run, use 12/3 wiring with a double pole breaker. The neutral wire can safely be shared. This is pretty common in kitchens and stuff where separate circuits are needed for high load appliances. I decided...

I've gotten stuff from Merc before and it is good. :-)

Bounces around from 35-55 KB/sec. using my 4Mbit connection.

Good to have you back and sorry to hear about your dad. I take Vytorin 10/40 which is similar to Lipitor but adds another component. I used to take Lipitor but found the Vytorin to be more effective. We have a history of high cholesterol in my family. Remodeling is fun! I've been working on...

Not sure if Newegg still has it, but this was a great board I used in my dad's system. http://global.aopen.com.tw/products/mb/vK8T800a-LF.htm System has a lot of snap to it for a lower end Sempron 2600+. Enough so that I'll probably go VIA for my next AMD system instead of nVidia. I've...

Need the headphones if I ever decide to play a game. I just got these (should be able to pick them up tomorrow): http://www.microcenter.com/single_product_results.phtml?product_id=220684 Seemed to be the cheapest & cleanest route. They are probably crap speakers but I bet they're better...

Got a new Monitor. 22" Acer AL2223W. I love it but I'm missing one feature of my 20" Dell 2005FPW. With my Dell, I had the sound bar that you could turn on and off. And, when you plugged headphones into it, it turned off the soundbar speakers and just used the headphones. The new monitor...

Is Spitpoint a new line of low end drives for Samsung? :-)

Giada is freaking HAWT! She has made watching FoodTV with my wife so much more tolerable! :-) Rachel Ray has a nice face but seems to be lacking in some other areas. But yeah, that's where I first heard the term EVOO. Good call Doug!

2-5 minute edit window would be really nice. edit: And it works great!

Do the same thing with sliced potato wedges and you got some nice home fries.

Here's a favorite: Coarsly up a bunch of onions, carrots, celery. Throw in a bowl. Add EVOO (extra virgin olive oil) and mix with your hands to lightly coat them. Add a bunch of seasoning, salt pepper, poultry seasoning, tex mex, whatever you like & mix it in. Pour it all in a medium sized...

The original GPU client just expired today so, if you have not upgraded yet, you'll need to get the latest and greatest for your GPU folding to work.

What I've seen on TV was that shale oil in Canada is only profitable once crude costs around $80-100 per barrel (or something like that) because it takes a lot of energy to get the oil out. Bozo makes a great point that OPEC as well as Big Oil will control the cost of their products to...

It's a plug-in hybrid. It uses mostly batteries but has a powertrain to charge them up when the plug-in charge is gone.

As long as it reduces dependance on the middle east, it's a huge win. That's all I need. F those OPEC bastards.

It allows us to reduce dependance on foreign oil and more fully utilize other sources of energy such as Coal, Nuclear, etc. So in that respect, the Vue 70MPG plug-in hybrid would be (according to the latest U.S. data) 49.7% coal-powered, 19.3% nuclear-powered, 18.7% natural gas-powered, 6.5%...

I've never been a big advocate of hybrids from a customer investment standpoint. Even at $3/gallon of gas, it's been hard to make up the additional cost to the consumer over the life of the vehicle unless you drive a ridiculous amount of miles. Fortunately, I think the technology is maturing...

But, Doug, please don't start using your GPU until I pass you up in points. :-P

I run default clocks and have ATi Tool maintain 70C. It's very quiet & I have had no issues.

Well, opinions are like many things that everybody must have. :-)

It looks just like this one (RP-SMA connector): http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ih=007&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT&viewitem=&item=170053929169 http://www.ultimateshopusa.com/7antenna1.jpg http://www.ultimateshopusa.com/antenna2.jpg You can have it for free + whatever it costs me...

I have a high gain antenna...you can have if you want it. It's a female connector on the end...I'm using one on an SMC router and I could definitely tell a difference in signal strength. I think it is a 7dBi antenna, IIRC but it may be 5dBi. I bought two because the price I got on it was...

Automobile magazine, a usually pro-import rag. Anyway, if GM did it, I would say it was dumb too. At least if it functioned as badly as it would appear in the video. Really, anybody who can't part their own vehicle (parallel or not) should not be driving. :-)

They do what anybody else would do, and they're from Automobile magazine. The system is a waste as it's obviously much faster to park the old fashioned way. Besides the fact that the system is slow as hell and confusing to use, the thing I found interesting is that it requires the driver to...

What a joke...so much for innovation that works. http://www.fquick.com/videos/viewvideo.php?id=520 Talk about a useless gadget, this is one that doesn't even work worth a $hit. I'm sure the media will love it though because Toyota can do no wrong. :-)

I really like the all black one...too bad I already have the original.....

We use Lotus Notes at my work. I think it's pretty good. The web version of the e-mail client works pretty good too.

I text message my wife while I'm on the can at work just to say I Love You. :-) Seriously. :-) That's the only time I use it though.

No worries then...the $ is already spent. :-P C'est la vie!

I hope you know what you're doing. :-) The purpose of the breaker is to protect the wire from burning up in your walls. If you try to pull 30A through 15G or 12G wire, you have a major fire hazard and are not compliant with building codes anywhere in the US. 10G wire is expensive and very...

I believe a standard breaker size is 15A. I wired my basement with 20A circuits but I could have done 15A. So I'd say 9 standard circuits is a bit more accurate (and even more ridiculous!),

that is nutZ!

I could use two 128MB DIMMS for a friends Gateway. Here are the specs: http://www.crucial.com/store/listparts.aspx?model=Essential+500 Actually seems like a pretty decent machine. Slot 1 P3 500. Just needs to get to the 384MB limit to run WinXP a little smoother.

I just viewed the site on my wife's new Blackberry. I even signed in. Clumsy but I guess it would work in a pinch. We'll have to take it on our next cruise instead of a Laptop.

Merc- I will definitely check that out. Thanks for the suggestions. Bombastic...definitely a word I need to start using. Nice.

I like this music, especially at very high volume on an excellent stereo.... http://www.kevandshan.com/music/gladiator.zip

What will you be using your new drill for?

Free antibiotics, that is.

Get it free in Michigan... http://www.detnews.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20061024/LIFESTYLE03/610240387

On our way to Machinac Island on Friday, a guy next to us skidded off the road in into a snow filled ditch. Close one!!

Not a big deal.... I was getting EUEs for a little while but a new core was downloaded and seemed to fix it. I have since gone to the 6.5 drivers though. Thanks for the link & the heads-up!
