Hmmm. I thought it was the Federal Govt., not the State Govt. that did undertook the census.

I don't think Lunar meant what you're saying. Note that maxburn is in the U.S. as well, so it is odd that Lunar acts like he's not in the USA. Well, there's more to it all than doctors. My f-i-l was suddenly diagnosed with stomach cancer, had major surgery to remove the tumor and most of the...

Thanks time. My chrome settings are as you described, but Yahoo still knows my preferences as far as news is concerned (which sections I read and expand). That's how I got tipped off. My hw is an Athlon 64 X2 Dual 2.2 GHz + 2MB RAM. Certainly no speed champ, but not a hopeless case either...

I'm on the lastest version (14.0.1) and it's dog slow; almost unbearable to use. Chrome does not seem to have the same control over privacy settings (accept cookies from this site only {no 3rd party cookies} and delete cookies on close). I started with the beta version of Firefox way back when...

Lunar, you must work for the CIA; you're the master of obfuscation. All along thoughht you lived in S. CA, now you say "over here" as though you don;t live in the U.S.

I would believe that there are more small overlap type crashes than full head-ons. The full head-ons would be more dangerous more of the time, but with the small overlaps, it would depend on the extent of overlap. A lot of these result in major damage to the vehicle sides but little injury to...

Merc, this kind of thing sucks, no matter what. Hang in there. You're a good guy, and good things will happen to you eventually. You've certainly made changes in your lifestyle; you've lost weight, changed your food habits, are exercising, and are reaching out more. Keep at it, and don't let a...

Congrats to you and your better half, DD!

DB, thanks for checking. I live in the southeast, and there was nary a blip over here; the southern grid wasn't affected at all. The folks that run this country excel at being incompetent and self-centered. It's amazing that the private sector gets to accomplish as much as it does despite the...

Interesting product! Do provide feedback on your experiences. If it works as advertised, it would be worth the $40 non-sale price.

Somewhat tangentially on topic: Tiny quad-core ARM Linux computer at $129 Raspberry Pi's $35, 700MHz Linux computer Good for Smoothwall and such?

Congrats, you guys! Enjoy your cars! SD, thanks for the info on the Llumar film. Sorry for the delay in my thanks; I was away for about a month.

Congrats! (sorry for the delay, been away for a long time). What Chewy said.

My sub expired this Feb. If the first point in your post applies to me, I'm screwed, because I haven't installed a single product. All I've done so far is download keys and the iso files. I guess this also means for a guy like me, who would have had spare keys to use in the future and who...

I can dull a blade after a few shaves :( Don't have a lot of hair, but what's there is like steel cable.

SD, got any links that will help me read up on Blue AIR 80? Thanks. Google seems to throw up mostly vendors

I'm just now planning to move to Win-7 :)

+1. Turning on the range hood is a sureshot recipe for a headache within 10 minutes.

Some months ago I sent Tony a PM on a topic of interest to him (I was going to ship him something if he wanted it), but he never replied. He must still be out shooting birds with his multiple cameras.

Agreed. But JLR seemed to do pretty well in the last 18 months. Maybe that was an anomaly.

That's a problem of a different meaning in a different language. With globalization, this is bound to occur. There is a common German last name that means "dick" in an Indian language; so what?

I'm not aware of the association between breasts and that word. Tata is a surname used by this family for > 200 years. I don't think they picked it because of a more recent association with boobs.

You're barking up the wrong tree. Incidentally they own Jaguar and Land Rover.

Being the skeptic and privacy freak that I am, I've never believed in storing anything online. The day might come when every OS on every device does it, and I'll go there kicking and fighting till my last breath. Just look at how the so called gold-standard guys get hacked - credit card processors.

Isn't Honor Blackman Pussy Galore? :-D

Coug has always had a way with words, even if his English competence wasn't up to snuff in the early days. He's got a large funny bone, real or virtual, in his head.

Sorry to hear that, Bozo. What Merc said is true, but you'll miss him nonetheless.

She's cute! How'd you guys take the middle pic? It's interesting how they reach out to you and make friends. There's a connect that can;t be described. I guess that's why you took her home.

Zelda's a beaut. Pics of the little one?

Congrats & Best Wishes, Handy!

One of the cars I had got a chip in the windshield. I ignored it, and it grew into a crack that got progressively worse till I had to have the windshield changed. When I got a chip in my next car, I bought some stuff at an auto parts store and fixed it myself. It worked really well; the chip...

Don't think it'll work. I got it to boot once with 4 dimms, but BIOS and memtest saw only two. Got into Windows, then hung. Of the 4 slots / 2 banks it has, DFI explicitly recommends using only the orange bank. When I use only two dimms and put them in the yellow bank, system won't boot. With...

Thanks. I spent *all* day yesterday googling. Found a thread where a guy got it running stable with 4 x 1GB dimms. Fortunately he posted his bios settings. Unfortunately, I don't know the specs of his RAM. This was in 2008. I also downloaded some tools and printed out how my system treats...

Merc, I don;t think setting CAS speed alone will help. There are more issues at play here. Maxburn: I don;t know how to do that, unless you';re referring to the CAS setting alone. Thanks BBB. I'll check them out. It appears that 4 sticks is a rarity on this board for obvious reasons - it is a...

I enjoy them as much as you do. But I think having one in the title may be a bit too much.

No offense meant, Merc.

In case people didn't click the link, the motherboard is a DFI LANPARTY UT NF4 SLI-DR Expert. Thanks BBB, but I'm lost as to how / where to do it. The options on this MB are binary: either you pick auto for everything, or there's a trillion options that are meaningless to me. In case anybody...

Y'all will recollect that I aborted my attempt to build a new system because of the job situation. I had purchased 2 sticks of RAM from Clocker in fall 2007 with the intention of adding them to this PC, but had never got to it (inertia is the most powerful force in the universe). I decided...

Is no mod going to correct the title of this thread?

Got a link, fb?

Awesome!

As has been suggested, try the Macallan at a pub first; the 18 yr sure is expensive, almost in Blue Label territory. Macallans have a smokey flavor because of the casks they are aged in. It works for me! There's quite a difference between Glenlivet 12 & 18. Sadly, the price rises exponentially...

There were aftershocks or repeat earthquakes, but no tsunami, thankfully. These were sliding type earthquakes, so they didn't generate one. I didn't see anything about casualties, so I think we got off good on this one.

Cool!

+1 !

I felt a slight swaying at 2:30 pm local time. Thought I was hallucinating, but it lasted a good 15 seconds, though barely enough to notice. My brother who lives across town (about 20 km as the crow flies) said his apartment building shook for about 5 minutes, enough for everybody to flee the...

Macallan 15yr and older is awesome.

No idea sir, I am out of touch with a world wizzing by too fast!

Sorry was out a couple of days. LM is correct. Use Truecrypt to mount the encrypted container (folder) as a logical drive. Then access / use it. All use is transparent. You can drag and drop, open a file with an app, etc. When done, use Truecrypt to unmount the drive. Or shutdown the PC, which...

Here you go. Scroll down to the "Chipset Comparison" table.
