    Actually that would be a good one. Then you could have the doggie chasing the lamb around. ...eh, maybe that's a bad idea.

    Hey, 14 online! Isn't that a new record?

    The 600 feet was the distance the car sailed through the air before hitting the water. The bridge height from road surface to water is definitely nowhere near 600 feet. I'm sure there must be statistics somewhere out there on bridge heights, but I just don't have the time at the moment to go...

    AMD: not the way to go for new system ?

    As far as Fahrenheit thermometer gradients go, he marked of 0ºF as simply the coldest (lowest point on his thermometer) that he had experienced there in Bavaria over the 2 or 3 year period he was calibrating his thermometer. 100ºF was simply the hottest (highest point on his thermometer)...

    I never did like Yes -- "90125" or whatever it was called. Their best album was without a doubt "Going For The One" , though most of the earlier albums had their particular moments. Actually, at least in my opinion, maybe the best Yes album is actually Jon Anderson's -- "Olias Of...

    Got a used 45gb Hungary 75GXP...

    If your newly-purchased used 75GXP has lasted as long as you say, then you have one of the "good" ones. I have a few 30 GB and 60 GB 75GXP hard drives running at work (running virtually 24x7) and my parents have a 30 GB in their computer. These have all been running fine without incident. It...

    Anti Virus software

    NAV 2002 is a bit WORSE than NAV 2000. Unfortunately for WinXP users, you can't run anything but NAV 2002 (aka NAV Version 7.6) if you want to run a Norton product. [ My all-time favourite Norton story is that there was once a particular version of NAV for Macintosh that once installed...

    . . That was a message for Mercutio, since he is running a domain controller (SaMBa 2.2 has PDC capability). As for you, James, you are using NBT, correct? That's all I use at home, but I have setup domains at home before. . .

    . . Of course, the various realities will dictate that the "original" WTC's won't be rebuilt. Nobody is willing to spend the US$2 000 000 000+ or so to construct -- much less insure, much less work in -- what might well be considered future terrorist targets. . .

    . . I suspect it would, only because the Primary Domain Controller stores the domain's access control list and the decryption engine. Well, it is becoming warmer these days, at least on the top half of the earth. Otherwise, it's the SR dichotomy effect. . .
