    At my last job I keep enabling the account after he called me while they were disabling him in the other room. He and I came to an agreement after the third time that today was his last day.

    I used the word legally on purpose; as opposed to effectively. I'm surprised Mr. Thurrott is so imprecise in his language.

    Technet Advice

    You are subscribing to the software not the website. Legally, once the subscription expires the software under that subscription expires and you are to stop using it. And yes, when the subscription expires you will lose access to keys and downloads.

    Ha, absurd. For the indecisive consumer who can't decide between salty and sweet...we have sweetened salt.

    Something Random

    Besides the inherent chemical drawbacks, HFCS is so cheap that sweeteners have been added to products that were not sweetened in the past leading to a total increase in consumption.

    ROCKET SCIENCE

    I'm not sure; I watched the link Handy posted. What did you watch? :P I would agree that the two chickens have the same kinetic energy but also important is the application of energy. What they did not test is pressure. I'm certain a frozen rod of chicken would penetrate deeper into a barrier...

    ROCKET SCIENCE

    I think that if MB had done the experiment well they would have found that the focused energy of a frozen bird penetrated deeper into the carriage. The frozen bird almost left the safety cage and the frozen pumpkin actually left. The results fell prey to an ill-defined hypothesis.

    I do want to buy a used car

    There is always somebody out there who needs a cheap car even if temporarily. I tend to buy in the 8-10k range so now what that will buy me is a lesser quality car.

    NAS storage question

    I just reread your next to last paragraph. I'm not completely certain how flexible the Mac boot from USB is and exactly how your software work. For your edification, a RAID backed USB drive should look exactly like a regular USB drive to the computer. But it actually has a redundant drive. Hope...

    NAS storage question

    The next step up from what you are doing is USB attached RAID. I'm not positive that you can boot from this but there is a very good chance. One for each of you just as before. If you want to share drive space with you partner you can get network attached RAID (NAS). You will not be able to...

    Samsung Ecogreen 1.5TB f2 better than f3?

    The F2 may be cheaper at retail but more expressive to produce. I'd check for RMA rates as best as possible and make my decision based on that unless you don't need to worry about it.

    :) Don't tempt me. Do they make concentrator/reflectors for candles? I really only need it for the 5-10' effective range.

    Yeah, the first thing I discovered was that the head internals were not screwed in tight. Fixing that helped a little but not much. This looks promising. Not sure how I missed it before. The 4Sevens are pricey. Much more than the $11 I spent on the C3! I'm also surprised their Garage Sale...

    I know there are a few threads around here that have information about LED flashlights but it would be nice to have this information in the same place. I bought a Cree Ultrafire c3 a few months ago. I don't remember why I picked this model but it probably came down to size and price. Anyway...
