More paranoid crap.

Sad.

Howell, thanks for the offer of help. The weird thing is that when the "bang" happened, I was going ~90 MPH, and the window did not come down then, and is still fully intact and not cracked/broken as much as I can see of it. I reached my destination, and when I tried to put the window down, it...

As Southern Californians (like Buck) know, you're a dead duck here if you ain't got no car; public transportation is not even a joke. Looks like there's more than two of us in the same boat. My LE V6 Camry, purchased new in 1994, is getting long in the tooth. 160k miles. In August, I spent ~$3k...

While I've slackened off going to SR as well, especially to the B&G, I'm here now because of a comment Tannin made in a B&G post at SR. More is in Piyo's thread, which I hijacked before reading this one.

Interesting, Piyono's "gap" in memory. Maybe the aliens erased it? The L.A. times recently had an article about a rainmaker. It has been proven that he has made rain every place he visitied, and has broken droughts. He failed only twice. He refused to talk about one of those failures, but for...

I read all of Coug's posts. They're absolutely charming, and I see new shades of meaning in what would otherwise be a drab sentence. Coug, this is a compliment, not a criticism or a flame.

Many a time have I been in Mercutio's shoes, trying to explain to a non-technical business-suit why something is not working, when it's supposed to. I feel his pain. time wrote: I love that! Pradeep has a new handle!

Write the FCC and your congress-people. I mean that. Not just saying you don't have broadband, but what it really means to not have it, and how much it's costing you for the alternative. They need to allow the phone and cable companies to provide broadband. Competition is good. In 2003, in the...

I didn't know that 7-of-9 is a shrink in her spare time. :D

Vlad, Re. first pic: I like the teeny weeny goatee your puddy tat has.

Everything I want to say has been said more eloquently by others. But still, Thanks, Doug! SF is a very special place. And Merc is da man. He cooked up this idea, and made it all happen. We thank him for all the time and effort he's put into this. :D :colors: :bglaugh: :D

Maybe they're smart enough to realize that attention given them is instead being redirected towards books & keyboard. So they try to prevent you spending time with the "attention grabbers". Pretty much like kids, really.

Buck, I know you like the Addtronics WTX, but how much do you like it? What don't you like about it? Elucidate, please?!

Regardless of what specs say, when I went from a Fireball Plus LM 20GB to a WD 80GB/8MB for my OS & Progs, I noticed a pretty significant improvement.

Reg. Tannin's post: My car radio (the only one I can lay my hands on really easily) is always tuned to one of two NPR stations in town. I watch little television (~2 hours a month?) and when I do, its PBS. There is a small but very dedicated following the the public broadcasting system in the...

The Mpeg was hilarious!!! :D :D The web site speaks for itself. What's at the top of the "About" page is especially relevant. Unlike our present hero, the father at least had some grey cells between his ears.

Packet writing: Merc ranted about it in another thread, and I tend to agree with him. Packet writing is always slower as well. Sorry, Time, no Packet Writing :evil: DOA, TOA, SOA: DOA is the most compatible of them all. I've had some problems with the others, but have *never* ever had a...

Well, Merc, it ain't for me. It's for my technophobe brother that, after 12 years of repeatedly showing how, buying "Dummy" books for him on my nickel, and unlimited phone support still does not know how to copy files from one folder to another, and keeps telling me "You didn't show me how...

Honold, The info. I read about SHEP initially, and that caused me to post here was that Ford is releasing at least one vehicle next year. If this was all still in the tinkering stage, I wouldn't have bothered with it. That said, what I read was propaganda, and your sources probably have the...

I felt bad about hijacking Buck's thread, hence this new one. Anybody know of point-click backup software that can write to CD-RW in Disk-at-Once mode? ie., I don't want to use packet writing. All of them out there want to use packet writing. I emailed NTI, Stomp, et all; some didn't bother...

The thread that will not die! Something I read here says pressure is very important in reducing thermal resistance. Since the Speeze coolers seem to come with super-stron clips, they probably clamp down real hard on the processor, and this may be the secret to their performance.

It seems to vary enormously. Fats at times, really really sluggish at others. Time of day seems to not matter.

Over at SR, MaxtorScsi siad in a thread that it takes two years from the time a drive is dreamed up to actual production. Mickey read that and responded like he did here (1 year). Maybe Mickey works for WD :lol: ?

First off, I've been out of action (as far as SF is concerned) for ~24 hours :( Honold, this post is mainly addressed to you. This is a heated and sensitive topic. With heated arguments. It's a debate on points. We seemed to have totally different perspectives on certain issues, and I was...

honold said Really? Even with the absolute, total and complete supriority Israel has WRT to weapons, the power they wield in the region and the ultra-liberal/casual use of force?? How long do you think it'd take them if they wanted to break up a crowd of unarmed Palestinians??? You must be...

honold wrote: The way you handle a civil protest is to disperse the crowd first. Do your dirty work (bull-dozing) when you're sure no civilian is around. Whether the girl fell or not, whether it's her fault for being there or not, is immaterial. The bulldozer driver should have stopped, turned...

Sorry, Coug, whether you killed one or two, you're still a killer. Fushigi, my habits mostly match yours (mousing/typing), except that I only mouse with my left hand when my right is dead beat. A gal that used to work with me (circa 1993) had a severe case of RSI. She used to use a large...

Thanks for the info, Bozo.

Sure I'll use that word. 1. I'm not in medical school 2. I have not and don't plan to "live in sin" 3. I'm not a lesbian 4. I'm not attracted to 300lb people I used the word gallant in the old-fashioned sense of a knight in shining armour coming to the rescue. Where is it written that knights...

At the time Israel was created, weren't the Palestinians promised their own country? IIRC, Britain was the main negotiator / arbitrator during those events. Everybody has conveniently forgotten about those poor people who had lived in that area for so many hundreds of years. As jtr1962 pointed...

The gallant Merc rides to the rescue! Deleting my cookie seems to have done the trick; hopefully I'll stay fixed (err, I don't mean in that sense, ok). Thanks, Merc! You're the best! :)))

Even since the change in forums, my auto login won't stick, and I can't see which posts have changed since my last visit. I've muckesd with my profile enough. Help, p-l-e-a-s-e?? TIA :rabbit:

What both of you said echoes my own sentiments. You might know that an American college girl who had gone there to see things for herself was mowed down and killed by an Israeli tank. Right in front of other people. This was not an accident; she was protesting and stood her ground when the tank...

Methinks some of you are jumping the gun without knowing more. Ford wouldn't have signed on if implementation would have been difficult / not worthwhile.

Coug: In addition to opticaldrivicide, you are now guilty of rodenticide. Fushigi: I think it's really cool to be ambidextrous! Do you ever find yourself clicking non-existent buttons with the wrong hand?

Helloooo there, and thanks for posting. Yes, I agree fuel-cell is where it's at. A decade or so down the road. In the interim, hybrid solutions are better than status quo, no?

Thanks for that right-click tip; I didn't know that. Learn something new everyday. I cleared my browser cache and came back here; sure enough, the pic is gone.

Aha! I cut and paste the URl in my browser, saw the graphic on DSL reports, hit the back button on my browser, and can now see the same pic in the "Better Pic" post made by clocker. I'll bet if I clear my browser cache and come back to this thread the pic will be gone.

Doug: I still don't see 'em. I can't even see the URL when I mouse over the "pic"; there's just a placewholder there for me. Thanks for pasting the URL in your response, though.

Somehow "Firewire Dildo" doesn't sound too comfortable......now USB dildo has a nice, mysterious ring to it.

Methinks you're in good company, plump one. I can't see no pictures either.

Awright, 1-of-9, I'll back off. Hoping and dreaming ain't against the law, AFAIK.

Oh, poop. I was hoping somebody could corroborate the tall performance claims Intel makes on their website for IAA.

While the silicon may be slower, they're faster because they do things in parallel (array).

USB powered beverage warmer---now there's an idea worth looking into....

Here.
