    Reminds me of the beef thread we had some time back. I looked for the article and they changed the URL from htm pages to asp. If anyone is interested in how beef is raised in the U.S.: Part I Part II Part III Part IV

    Yea! Way to go, Symantec!

    Personal Finance Software for Linux

    I don't have any experience with these particular applications, however, I have done some minor research for business accounting software designed for the Linux platform. One article I enjoyed reading was found at Linux Planet. My goal was to find a QuickBooks equivalent.

    Dell 2005FPW 20.1-inch Wide Aspect LCD, $679.15

    Now children, behave. It will cost money, and you may need to ask your parents for some cash, and I'm not talking about change for a soft-serve at Dairy Queens.

    I would just call and ask them. I've called for activation questions before, such as switching a COA from one name (mine) to another (customers). They didn't have any problem with that situation.

    Dell 2005FPW 20.1-inch Wide Aspect LCD, $679.15

    Fushigi, I usually prefer low-light situations, and adjust my monitors to match. For example, I could be in a 190 sq.ft. room with four 60 watt recessed incandescent spot lights, but I have them on a dimmer and turn them at least halfway down. Under those circumstances, I can adjust my Samsung...

    Review of Hybrid Lexus RX400H

    That sort of car would be ideal for you jtr. Here in suburbia, we of course need something with more range. Personally, I need something that could seat four and hopefully come with a little bit of volume space, I'm over 6 feet tall. But for most of my journeys I'd be happy with something...

    Review of Hybrid Lexus RX400H

    It would be nice if car manufacturers would build more decent small cars with reasonable fuel economy, such as mixed driving resulting in the low 40 miles per gallon. Other countries have these types of cars and they're not diesel.

    Dell 2005FPW 20.1-inch Wide Aspect LCD, $679.15

    You're welcome mubs. The nice thing is that my Samsung 192T has a native resolution of 1280 x 1024, which seems to work out real nice. If the 2001FP would have the same native resolution (it's only one inch bigger), things would be better. I even tried to compensate by increasing the font and...

    Dell 2005FPW 20.1-inch Wide Aspect LCD, $679.15

    I received the 2001FP and I don't like it -- to bright, and I can't get it dark enough. Plus, I'm either stuck with fuzzy fonts at lower resolutions or using 1600 x 1200 (which I can barely read) -- it's going back! My Samsung 192T works much, much better for me. The resolution and brightness...

    Here is a review of the Bose Quiet Comfort 2: http://www.thetravelinsider.info/2003/0912.htm An acquaintance of mine uses them with his portable DVD player and is very happy with them. They are a bit pricey. Maybe that review site will help a little.

    Nope, I meant to include the extra three. The reason I asked is because Anand did a review a few months back and the Lite-On 1633 wasn't the best contender.

    I think I'll stay in California. The worst we have here are fast moving Fedex trucks or pieced together BC vehicles that are ready to explode at any second. Oh, we also have rattle snakes and mountain lions, but they rarely come out, certainly not twice a day for delivery.

    I've sold Samsung 17" CRTs, 19" LCDs and Hansol 17" LCDs (Samsung panel) without any problems. I also prefer Samsung opticals for CDs and CDR-Ws, I haven't had one returned yet. The reason I switched to NEC DVD burners is that they're less expensive, equally as reliable (for me), and come out...

    Backup solution -- dumb idea?

    Essentially, most of your arguments revolve around one fundamental point, #6. Nonetheless, external drives with 3.5” hard drives in them are not designed as portable devices. They are used in this way, but they also have a high failure rate for this reason. The best reason for purchasing an...

    Backup solution -- dumb idea?

    Plus you have added electronics to interface 1394 or USB with ATA. In my opinion, external drives give a false sense of security.

    Backup solution -- dumb idea?

    I would skip the external drive bit, and stick with DVDs for the safe. You might also think about keeping a DVD offsite, such as in a safe deposit box.

    Backup solution -- dumb idea?

    I will second using a hard drive to store a duplicate set of your data. I’m in the habit of creating regular updates to the duplicate set (perhaps nightly, or on the fly with RAID 1). Then, I would use optical media to create backup sets for archiving weekly or monthly, preferably creating two...
