    Sigh. Is there any way to recover middle-button click-scrolling with crazy browser or am I gonna have ta whack it.

    Need for a "Toolbox Reference Section" ?

    What happens when the next version of a tool blows chunks or the newest version of another tool causes its utility to surpase the first tool. Really, the only way to determine what is the best tool for the job today is to ask today. I just don't see it being useful beyond 6 months or 50 files...

    Water cooling references

    Waterfalls and other open tumbling water toys raise the humidity too much. Aside from the obvious problem of creature comfort I'd have to keep refilling it. I once read an article about someone (Wright?) who built their house in such a way that a creek ran through their house. In one wall, down...

    War: interesting poll result

    Tannin, Is your town planning any sort of group message to the PM? PS. Among UN Council members, Spain and I think Bulgaria are also commited. Thanks for the support though. I never hear any news that Oz is commited.

    I would at least turn IE security up (maybe to high) and manually add cookies for sites you want to recieve cookies from.

    Bush...I can't believe how idotic he is.

    If american oilmen are/were happily pumping oil out of Iraqi land and getting rich on fat contacts who are the contracts with and why would they want to flood the market with more oil and depress the price?

    Bush...I can't believe how idotic he is.

    What wasted production? No, I didn't know that. Was the "share" supposed to be in proportion to economic commitment during the war but ended up not that way?

    Bush...I can't believe how idotic he is.

    Let me be more explicit. If Sadam wants to stay in power, it is important for Iraq to disarm itself on its own volition rather than be forced to. Only then will the international community be able to trust that she will not re-arm herself. If the international community is forced to take...

    Is that the only reason? What about with regards to Iraq's international standing?

    Bush...I can't believe how idotic he is.

    Let's try a mind exercise, Coug. Now, I assume you think Bush is after the oil so that his oil buddies can get more rich. Since oil isn't an end unto itself I have to assume you think it comes down to money. And so, in order for oil companies to get rich they have to sell the oil for more money...

    In the event that the heat from the lead cracks the plaster you will probably need to fiber reinforce the plaster to keep it from breaking up. My first thought is to embed dental floss. Maybe un-waxed.

    Bush...I can't believe how idotic he is.

    OK, I'll bite Coug. How exactly will attacking Iraq solve the problem of depleted oil supplies assuming such a problem exists? What does the oil pipeline in Afghanistan have to do with with our choice to go in there? It's not like we own any oil over there before or after.

    Or if you could somehow mount leds to the top platter and as the platter spins the leds could spell out a message. You know, the persistence of vision thing. Fuel gauge or SMART readings maybe.

    I just got off the hot-line with the state department. They said, "No friggen crap." They also insinuated that Islamic extremists were upset with your hobbies and lifestyle and since they can't work it out with you directly they would probably just plant a bomb somewhere. They said you didn't...

    Yeah you shoud spend at least $10 to get a good one. All the other problems can be taken care of by buying the same rack only. My plastic Inclose racks even work with my bike lock keys.

    On all the ones I looked at, you could bond the nics together to act as one bigger pipe but I think the switch has to support this as well.
