Just purchased a Pioneer because CD-Freaks liked it. I'll let you know how it goes

:rotfl: My kind of women... :-D

Gran Paradiso—Firefox 3.0b4—is out and appears stable. Windows, Macs, Linux: http://www.mozilla.org/projects/firefox/3.0a4/releasenotes/#download Fonts appear to be much nicer.

gotta love Dilbert http://www.dilbert.com/comics/dilbert/archive/dilbert-20070429.html

Just bought some Richter PM-401's. Coupled with an Onkyo TX-SR503. First time I've bought audio in a while. http://www.richter.com.au/framed.htm?http://www.richter.com.au/rp01.htm My intent was for DVD surround, and to listen to music. Damn that was hard. Booming surround and clear speech...

I've been running Edgy (6.10) and downloaded Fiesty (7.04) last night. I'll take it for a run.

AnandTech aren't convinced that teh 8600 series is that good. ..." NVIDIA's GeForce 8600 GTS and GT simply do not perform any better than similarly priced hardware from AMD. GeForce 7 Series hardware priced at $150 and $200 also performs similarly to G84 based parts, outperforming the newcomer...

Coug, not enough profanity to qualify as a MercRant*, but a good start none the less. :) My workplace used Acer Veritons for years. 4 years ago, they tried a switch to Dell which lasted for six months or so. The failure rate of the boxes was so high, the cancelled the procurement and went...

Well on top of that, this should make your day Pirated Vista betas will kill your data http://www.theinquirer.net/default.aspx?article=39165

Is it just me or does it look a little like a PT Cruiser that has been taken to with an axe and beaten (severely) with an ugly stick? Heh! Ford has nothing to worry about.

More ugliness from Ssangyong http://www.carpoint.com.au/car-review/2537976.aspx I'm betting in a market that might crack a million this year, Ssangyong might sell 150 of these things. As Joseph Bessimer said; "There's a suckker born every minute"...

Samsung dual HD/Blu ray DVD player: http://www.xbitlabs.com/news/multimedia/display/20070413070605.html More feature complete than the LG. I also read somewhere that Samsung are going for a US$299 (could have been 399) Blu ray player, so prices are coming down. SED looks promising, but its...

In North America. The majority of the world uses DVB, though ISDB-T is used in Japan and now been chosen by Brazil. Brazil's choice may influence Argentina and other South American nations.

Hmmm, the ones that spring to mind Talk Talk -talk talk and It's my life (sorry Gwen, but you just don't cut it) REM - Radio Free Europe, End of the world, oh sh!t, a lot of their earlier stuff Joy Division/New Order - Love will tear us apart, True Faith Sisters of Mercy - Floodland (the album)...

Bill or Lee. I thought it would make an interesting twist if Bill was a Cylon, but that would make Lee a half-breed. And we know (or assume) that Hera is the first. Also, any speech about duty etc that a Cylon Admiral Adama would make has already been subverted by some of Tigh's comments when...

Holden are #2 in the market, but primarily due to the oil shock. Before the oil shock, petrol was in the AU$0.80~0.90c per litre range. After, it went as high as AU$1.60/litre, but traded around $1.20~1.35. Just before Xmas, the price dropped to around $1.05~1.15, but its now selling for...

I'm not sure how serious you are on this issue C, but there is a problem right there (not with you, but with whomever is styling the US cars). How many women in the US workforce (as a %)? What % of women have influence over the purchasing decisions of their eco/familial unit? Sure, you can...

Aww crap. Welcome to capitalism. It is the Unions job to do the best for its members. Its the managements job to do the best for the company and its shareholders. Its a personal POV whether the govt. should intervene if things are getting screwy. Hard line capitalists would say "no...

I beg to differ. I profer the Ssangyong Stavic Front three quarter: http://www.drive.com.au/Editorial/ArticleDetail.aspx?ArticleID=10060&vf=24 rear: http://www.ssangyongaustralia.com.au/stavic_exterior.html :puke-r:

Bets on who it is? I'm thinking Kara (Starbuck).

Ditto. I really do like this series. The plot device with the music revealing the "hidden" cylons was too easy/transparent though. Isn't there one outstanding?

Not made in Texas is it? :)

At a guess, number of users.

Is now 2.0.0.3 get it from the usual places...

http://www.miracleas.com/BAARF/RAID5_versus_RAID10.txt http://www.baarf.com/ I've had to sit through the painful process at work (several times!) where the RAID5 array was rebuilding itself after a drive failure. Basically, no LAN connectivity for the day==no work for the day. RAID10 if you...

Do you prefer Mahasamatman, Tathagatha or Kalkin, Oh Binder? :) I wish they would turn that book into a movie

How much you want?

Silliest extension I've seen. It might be funny for all of five seconds, but , hey! kudos for even thinking of it. https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/974/ Go on, click on it!

Is that the normal garden variety Geil, or special overclocker and/or low latency stuff? That is just a damned awesome overclock

As for "300", the books of David Gemmell (particularly Druss the Legend) might appeal

Philip K. Dick fan?

I think B5 took time to find its feet. Seasons 1 & 2 were sometimes cringe inducing, but 3 & 4 were great. Do not mention season 5. How available is the GN of V? In print, out of print, second hand booksellers, only on eBay for the price of an AMG Mercedes?

Watched V last night. A very good movie. I wouldn't classify it as great—I thought it a little too one dimensional, but well worth your time. Watch it, and think about it's theme, especially where V is explaining to Evey how the British police state came about. I hate to bring up "the war"...

Mark, have you noticed points drops on any other projects? I've done 5 2604 & 5's so far. The 2604's gave 1760 points.

Nailed it. Apparently Flash uses some timers to drive the display rate. Firefox/Mozilla did not implement these timer functions in order to avoid high CPU usage, and with 1 or 2 flash ads per page, this wouldn't be a problem. But web designers are morons, and they want absurd frame rates. A...

Erm, you are aware of what the terms "could" and "may" mean right? My reading of the requirements were that it involved more than AutoCAD, but had to be cheap, easy to use, administer and backup etc. etc. It was a left field suggestion no doubt, but I think you presume too much about the level...

To get what you want, you could use CVS (Concurrent versioning system) and Tortoise. The downside is that users have to physically check in and check out stuff. You aren't going to get that ability any other way. The upside is that with Tortoise (which integrates with the Explorer shell), a...

Funnily enough, the city graphics in Railroads! reminds me (a lot) of the city graphics in Maxis' Sim City 2000...

Samsung claims it is selling 2.5" hybrid (flash) hard drives http://www.theinquirer.net/default.aspx?article=38053 ..."The MH80 series comes in 80GB, 120GB and 180GB sizes. The 2.5-inch drive has 128 or 256MB of flash memory and combines mangetic optical characteristics."...

P6-133XL Moving with the times I see :) nice catch CougTek!

Sid Meier (Firaxis—Civilization, Railroad Tycoon, Pirates!) has released Railroads! This (the gameplay) is just like Railroad Tycoon (the original) with funky 3D graphics. No complicated business models. It's just fun. Likeable. Now if someone would do the same for Master of Magic...

@Bozo & Sol :rotfl:

Crap. I've got a 2604 WU due to complete in 50 minutes... It was going to be worth 1760 points.
