A subscription to SexyRagoons.com is normally $19.99 a month but right now you can try it for only $14.99.

You read it your way and I'll read it mine.

That is how you know you married the right one. ;)

There will be additional future outings. I'm trying to convince her to go to my special screening of the Avengers but it's on a night she normally works. For that matter, I'd probably have to take a half day just because of where and when it is. Maybe we can crash at timwhit's.

I have a factory sealed OEM 300GB Raptor sitting out in my car. I'd sell it but I'd feel guilty about inflicting it on another person.

No such beverages have been consumed.

I got a 27++ 9 cell slice battery to add to my T420. It's a small, flat bar that's about 2" wide and plugs in to the docking bay port on the bottom of a T-series Thinkpad. It weighs around 1lb. I just plugged it in and took my laptop off charge and right now my battery meter indicates that my...

I shall modify my initial comment and say that there was no Gunsmithing.

The podcasts usually include a very brief statement about sponsorship as well. I just finished listening to this week's On the Media and heard one. But 15 seconds over the course of an hourlong program is pretty inconsequential and even after years of listening it's unusual to see anything like...

The term you're looking for is homonym.

I don't recall DFI motherboards as being exhaustively documented, but your board supports manually selecting a CAS latency of 4 or 4.5, and based on BBB's comments that might be a place to start.

That is why there is public radio.

One suspects you could find a US proxy for it. I'm less sure about the binary compatibility. It would be awfully silly to run a VM just to listen to Pandora.

If Lunar's charming malapropisms were corrected, some of the flavor would be lost. We all know what homoleds and hibachis are. :)

I said no comment. There is no reason to infer any additional information from that.

She lives 2.5 hours from downtown Chicago and in a different time zone. And she's not particularly nerdy. As to the second question, no comment.

What are you doing that would even tempt you to buy one of those? I mean, I guess it would be cool to end all disputes as to who owns the sweetest PC, but on the other hand what you'd more than likely find is that some other component or architectural aspect of your system is now forever the...

Yes. Caffeine, while useful in the short term, does not constitute a long-term treatment for one's need to slumber.

I won tickets to a ridiculously early pre-screening of the Avengers today in a comic convention panel about geek dating. Ironically, now I have to find a date for that.

Facebook does something and it's wrong. Film at 11.

As I understand it, the biggest issue with Quickbooks is usually people not setting things up right in the first place. People start using the wrong modules and the problems cascade from there.

You're unlikely to run into an administrative emergency on day 1. Ages ago when I had Sun machines to take care of my biggest problem usually came down to something or other hitting a disk quota or a random failed backup. The configurations were all scripted and thoroughly automated by a couple...

I haven't found very much value to Pandora for that purpose, but of course I have the peculiarities of my perspective; it wasn't all that long ago that Pandora had absolutely nothing to offer me at all.

I know a quickbooks certified instructor whom you might be able to ask.

Does your home network not have VPN access?

What's so hard about playing a bunch of sequentially named files in a directory that represents the contents of an album?

My favorite webcomic on the subject of cheap booze. Half the lines in this strip are funny even without any context.

In a lot of cases, simple rules exist because they're easier to understand and enforce for an audience that may not understand or tolerate nuance or complexity. I'd draw parallels to religion but it's probably unnecessary to do so here.

Apparently it will be a while before the Micron drive will be available to consumers anyway.

There's plenty of internet communities full of retards. Free Republic or the comments section on any widely-viewed Youtube video ought to prove that.

Micron just released a new mini-PCIe SSD. SR has a review posted. I'm glad that form factor is still being supported, particularly since it looks like a considerable improvement over my current Intel 310.

Newegg has a 2TB 7200rpm Barracuda right now for less than it's selling a lot of 1TB drives. Weird pricing anomaly.

No way to add an internal drive at all, sort of splitting off an external USB port and running a cable inside the case. There weren't even extra internal USB headers. I thought we had moved past systems like that, or at least started putting them in boxes where no one would think they could be...

I have a hard time believing that any beverage is worth the same amount of money as a 1TB hard drive.

Both HP and Acer appear to have exited the WHS Appliance market. Home Server 2011 is a relatively new product but it doesn't look to me like any tier-1 OEMs are supporting it these days. Has anyone tried the 2011 version? I have a SOHO customer looking for remote desktop access to machines...

Lifehacker had a pretty decent article about XBMC yesterday. It's REALLY NOT that hard to work but it dips in to plugin repositories and stuff that's not immediately apparent just from looking at the program.

Someone brought me a Compaq CQ-2713 this morning. I haven't seen a box this vomit-y in ages. They wanted to install a second internal hard drive and couldn't figure out how. I figured it was probably going to be one of those deals where the guy wanted to put an old IDE drive in a new desktop...

So you want wireless earbuds? I think that a lot of what you'll find as earbuds will be more like volume amplifiers or cellphone/gaming headphones. Maybe that's what you want. I've been told that Sennheiser's wireless headphones are pretty decent, though a lot of other quality headphone...

Yeah. That's the idea here too. I meet her at her, er, office, but not until she's back in civilian clothes and ready to head out for the day. And since I "belong" to her the other chicks there don't bother me. I might buy the girls who are working a shot or something but that costs me all of...

I hope we don't have a repeat of 2004. That's absolutely the first thing I thought when I read about the quake. Is safety just a matter of getting to some minimum safe distance from shoreline?

I have an internet to tell me how to make things and also I think most guys would say that getting a tipsy, horny stripper to come to their apartment would mean things were going according to plan. :D

The deluxe models just have three. The mind boggles at the fourth option.

Maybe he's doing video and the crap on his DSLR isn't set up for that? I have seen it happen though.

What I came up with as "basic bar" is: Gin, Rum, Whiskey, Vodka and maybe Tequila, plus a few things to mix in. Vermouth, Bitters, Tonic Water, Lemon and/or Lime juice, Cranberry Juice, Coffee Liqueur and cola seem to be the big ones. I figure "mid-shelf" is good enough since it's not like I'm...

That Sometimes an outfit needs a person at a location and their actual skill set is less important. I know I got work because I was a "techie in Northern Indiana" a few times. Sometimes an outfit needs somebody at a site or to be a first responder to cover contractual obligations or something.

I've only ever seen her drink vodka and fruit juice. She distinctly wanted something on Saturday and there was nothing to be had. Strippers be thirsty, yo. On another level, it comes up a few times a year for me that somebody wants a drink and I never have anything to offer.

This made me laugh. I've seen people doing this at comic conventions and stuff.

I have been informed that grown-ass men who receive lady callers need to have booze in their apartments. So what goes in a basic bar setup?

You can make fonts and stuff bigger, but there's no other way to get back a couple hundred missing vertical pixels. I think of 1366xwhatever as "shitty laptop resolution", as in, if I see it on a laptop I know it's a POS. A lot of software nowadays is just designed for 800 vertical pixels and...

It's my understanding that absolutely no one offers decent customer service on flat panel TVs. That's all anecdotal, but I hear stories from my students all the time. "My X-brand TV died with four days left on the warranty and they just sent me a $100 off coupon for another one. I'm never buying...
