Do you have filters for the air intakes? I use the fiberglass-wool type air conditioner air filters; they're about $10 for one that's about 12" x 18" (or larger), and are available at Home Depot type stores. I cut with scissors to the required shape/size, and shove it between the fan that's...

Stumbled on it while reading an interview of T.J. Rodgers (Cypress Semi). He says, "First of all, I think Silicon Valley people, if you gave them the world's smallest quiz, my belief is you'd find that people in Silicon Valley are highly libertarian but they don't even know what that phrase...

Windows-based cash machines 'easily hacked' That Windows is insecure ain't news to me, but what is astounding is that there are ATM manufacturers and banks stupid enough to run the machines on Windows. How stupid will the human race get?

So how much will the whole thing set you back?

I just died laughing at the language these guys at Cracked.com use: The 15 Most Bizarre Animal Mating Rituals NSFW; no pics of concern, but language is.

Sheesh. What a complicated way to say "If I tell you I have to kill you". Bond films would have flopped if you were the dialog writer, Tannin!

Eagle Eyes. Spot the differences in the two photos. Flash based. Mostly birds (that's why I'm posting; Tannin can tell us what those birds are).

Another day in paradise...

Every item listed seems very appropriate except for the RAM; why only 512 MB? If the user usually has all the office apps open (like I do) 1GB would be better.

YES!

yuk.

So what did you feed you poor elephant, Tea?

Ain't that the truth.

I've found widescreens useful for two things (ducks). Viewing pics in landscape mode; most pictures I take are of this type (default handling of the P&S digicam) and they almost fill the screen. I use Irfanview, and have it set to "fit only big images to window" #2 If you're a business type...

e_d, I asked the question in all seriousness. Why would VHP not work with anything? Are you not using a 64-bit version of Vista? Listen, Sechs, wiseguy :drunk:, I already have XP on my everyday m/c. I bought VHP 64-bit explicitly to use more RAM with PS CS3, with the intention of dual-booting...

If your package is 10 mbps,why are you still getting 5? 7 or 8 or 9 I can understand, but half the rated speed sucks.

So are there any tricks to getting PS CS3 to work with Vista 64-bit Home Premium?

Thanks, e_dawg!

Congrats, Chewy!

I have Image for DOS from Terabyte; works very well, not fussy about media, fits on a floppy (or used to). I got this after using Ghost, DriveImage (the one before Symantec f'ed it up) and being frustrated. This also writes to external Firewire drives and USB drives and is fast. Current price is...

I last configured one in the late nineties. For the ignoramus I was and am, it wasn't too difficult. You're probably working with a current model with an obfuscated UI.

Not exactly yhe sun shining out of er...the bottom, but light at the end of the tunnel.

Are you serious? What if you can't afford it? Do they "encourage" you to move to another state? It's scary how Orwellian the U.S. is becoming.

Deleting the IDE controllers in Device Manager and having Windows redetect them might fix the issue.

Bad boy.

Insanely fast flash: Intel, Micron claim their flash is greased lightning NAND that’s not all By INQUIRER staff: Friday, 01 February 2008, 8:13 AM MICRON and Intel said they jointly developed NAND flash memory offering five times performance over existing memory types. The joint venture...

Pretty blatant, aren't we? Wait till she reads this thread some day.

Thanks, Tannin. I'll pass then. As I get older, my patience wears thin easily, and I'm becoming more of a curmudgeon :joker:

:rotfl:

For the bandwidth challenged: is this humor or is this how-to in Photoshop, in which case I'll try getting to it. Thanks.

Assuming you're buying from a stranger, how do you know it isn't damaged? I'd be very leery of buying expensive stuff used. That's just me.

Returning a lost camera to the owner

I learned to program in assembler. Steve Gibson (SpinRite) is a fan of it too. If you know what you're doing, it ain't bad, and your proggies will run faster than a scalded ape. They will also be very small. In this day and age, knowing how to do this (I last did it in 1983) is a feat, congrats...

DD: Black Label is for desperate times (or when the wallet is thin). When I have it, it feels like pesticide to me. Try masking it with cold soda.

Unusual eBay Feedback - a small list of the weird!

Well, Gilbo, go out and buy one and let us know how good it is. Always good to have a choice. I'm still not sure what I want, when I'll buy it, and if I'll like using it.

No, actually it's warm. :-D [hides]

Not to the extent China does. Most countries do.

Hypothetical example: Invest $100 in India. Assume $1 = Rs. 40 (Indian Rupee). Value = Rs. 4,000 $ appreciates by 10%. $1 = Rs. 44. If you liquidate your holdings, Rs. 4,000 / Rs. 44 = $90.91, assuming the value of your investment did not appreciate or depreciate. This would not be a...

It's amazing how fungi and lowly parasites can control and dictate the behavior of their hosts. Reads like sci-fi.

I would have posted in this thread if it existed then. I put it there rather than start a new thread. In a nutshell, the Feds themselves are saying the USA is headed for bankruptcy. Not that we didn't know it, but it is now being acknowledged at the higher levels.

Good for a laugh; some are quite good. It's a montage of real people's faces and the faces on various currencies.

Stumbled on this link; was interesting for me.

I find it interesting that there are no comments re. my posts in the Fair tax thread.

A heart attack in 5 minutes or less, or your money back.

The coming financial collapse of the U.S. government: Fed papers reveal what's in store for Americans I suggest y'all read this, and if possible the link to the Fed papers. Personally, this is nothing new to me; this was a major factor in my decision to move out of the U.S. in 2006 after having...
