If you hit it you could have bought a tag from the state trooper and gotten 60+ lbs of free meat. Free-unless you want to fix your car.

It's still cheaper than Salesforce or Siebel. MS offers a hosted version of Dynamics, maybe that one is cheaper?

That's some pretty interesting math. When I did the math it worked out to be $425 each.

From what I've read it is heavily based on .net, so if you have a .net development background that would probably come in handy.

Are you going to move to California now?

Everyone that interviews here has to take a 12 minute IQ test (Wonderlic). If you don't get a high enough score they conduct a mock interview with you and then send you home. I'm not sure how effective this is in screening candidates or how accurate a 12 minute written IQ test is. I would...

Can I see the article?

I would ask them to recall a scenario when they had to fix a tough problem and what steps they went through to get the problem fixed. If half the steps sound like: "well I went over and talked to the DBA and he fixed the problem with the DB server." You might want to find a more well-rounded...

I have extreme doubts that someone could build a decent solution in that amount of time. Granted I don't know the exact requirements, but I doubt that what you get in 10-12 hours would be worth anything.

Block ads with Chrome I just tried it and it seems to work.

There are several people that I work with that have 90+ minute commutes. Now, this is mostly by train (Metra) in Chicago. I know very few people that drive regularly to work. However, that's still 3+ hours a day spent commuting, even if you don't have to deal with traffic.

My company's only allowed browser is IE6, because it's "supported." I think I hate hearing that word at work more than anything. It basically means that it's fine to use a steaming pile of shit as long as there's a support contract. It also means that paying $10k/year for support is a good idea...

My last place had a ceramic cooktop stove. It looked really nice when it was clean. However, it was almost never clean. It took a serious amount of time to get it clean and I had to use a specialty cooktop cleaner to get it to look clean. I would stay away from these, they are a pain in the ass.

I'll second that fridges with side-by-side doors sucks. It seems much smaller. My new place came with a GE Profile side by side and I don't like it very much. It also has ice access through the door and it leaks and jams open sometimes, which can't be good for the compressor or my electric...

Google is planning to include an extension system.

I generally use the Home and End buttons for that.

It's NAND flash. So, it doesn't need power to retain data. I think most of the point of the card is to bypass the SATA bus and connect directly to PCI-E.

Crosslink

uda, why don't you go find some people that are as dumb as you.

Apple didn't develop WebKit. They used the base code of Konqueror. I've used Safari on Windows and it's an abysmal experience. I've used it on OS X 10.5 and it's pretty bad there as well.

After playing around with it for a few more minutes it seems that the rendering is very quick. Spawning a bunch of tabs might be a little bit slower then Firefox, but I would guess that this is because it has to spawn a new process for every new domain you open. I'm running this on my work...

You can download it now: http://www.google.com/chrome It really doesn't seem faster than Firefox 3. There is no option to open a new tab when I type something in the address bar either, which bugs me to no end. I realize it's a beta, but I hope they fix these problems. I have no need for...

Based off that article Stereodude linked to the G45 scares me a bit. I'm trying to figure out if thing will actually be able to play HD video back. Has anyone used a G45 board yet?

Is this only for download or is upload counted as well?

I think I should do my best to try to get to 249GB every month. Anyone have an easy way to track how much I have transferred through a Linksys router?

My friend has an Antec NSK2480 that he is going to sell me for $40, so I'll probably use that. Now, I just need to convince my girlfriend that this purchase is a good idea and will make our lives better for years to come.

Is there a similar case that you like?

Does anyone have any experience with the APEVIA X-QPACK-NW-BK?

There's a thread over there on this board. Thanks.

It looks like the Gigabyte GA-EG45M-DS2H should have enough video horsepower to handle HD playback. Any comments?

I'm now looking at motherboards and Shuttle barebones systems at Newegg to use for this HTPC system. So, the questions is are there any motherboards that have onboard video that is powerful enough to playback HD content (blu-ray or H.264 1080p) smoothly? Or do I need to look at adding a PCI-E...

Does Windows 2003 have any of these problems? I don't really care for XP. So, it doesn't matter if I go with an ATI or nVidia card if I'm not going run Vista, right?

I figured out where I read that: http://www.storageforum.net/forum/showthread.php?p=108617#post108617 Is this still a limitation of Vista? Not that I was planning on using it.

I'm thinking of building a HTPC for the Westinghouse TX-42F430S I bought tonight. I'm trying to figure out if I will be able to include a BD-ROM drive in the build or not. The config will be something like this, DVI from computer to HDMI input on TV, toslink cable from computer to non-HDMI...

8.67Kwh * .08 = .7008, so less than a dollar a year.

Maybe on one of the high-end SLC NAND memory models. I don't know how well these MLC models perform.

I tried to find a review, but couldn't. I probably didn't try hard enough. They claim 80MB/s sequential writes, I wonder how it is for random reads and writes?

Dave, have you used that line of SuperTalent SSDs yet? Any real drawbacks?

What company? And what is the job?

The future looks grim for Comcast users.

I thought you were all good with your Comcast business connection? I thought with the recent FCC decision Comcast would start acting less evil.

I can't believe the gymnastics gala gets primetime coverage here. I would rather watch 10m air rifle.

I think if Chicago got the Olympics in 2016 it would bankrupt the local governments and people like me would spend the next 20 years paying much higher taxes. I don't think that matters, because I don't think the IOC will pick us anyways. The IOC seems to be heavily focused on picking a city...

I don't particularly like any event where the winner is completely based on the judges. Weight lifting is one thing, because it's pretty obvious to anyone watching whether the person lifted the weight or not. With gymnastics they don't even explain why the person got the score. Most of the time...

You would think that since I can get Comcast, RCN or AT&T for internet/tv the prices would be lower, but they're not. I guess an oligopoly isn't any better than a monopoly.

Anyone been watching the Olympics? I've been watching pretty consistently since it started, but I think I am about at my breaking point with the abysmal NBC coverage. I'm so tired of the five sports that they show. The commentators are absolute morons. Michael Phelps is a great swimmer, however...

I wish they would offer service in Chicago. I don't like Comcast very much.

I had NoScript installed for about a week. I found it highly annoying. I visit such a wide range of websites that I was constantly having to allow scripts to run. Plus, there are very few websites that will work right without scripts enabled these days.

Reagan

That would have come in handy when I spent $96 there a couple weeks ago. Too late now I guess.
