    Landslide in Philipines ; is Paugie ok?

    I doubt Paugie has been affected in any way by this because that village didn't look like it could have internet access, but I would appreciate a little "Hi, I'm ok" from his part. Here, I've had report that it was a village of either 1700 or 3000 persons and that so far, only 200 have been...

    I put them all in the same bag. The movie industry must have an equivalent to the RIAA. It must be rare though, or some members here would have been caught a while ago.

    Not that I would ever consider doing vile things like visiting Isohunt.com, but just out of curiosity...is it possible that friendly people from the RIAA keep track of absolutely evil and often poor people trying to take a (free) glimpse at the shows produced by already too rich, multibillion...

    Hinderburg, strike II.

    Hydrogen isn't believed to be the main cause of the Hinderburg's crash. Flawed german mecanics was. There was an American embargo on helium at the time and Germans pointed hydrogen as the cause of the accident because they wanted to make the Americans feel guilty about it. It was easier for...

    Hinderburg, strike II.

    The Hinderburg didn't kill enough people, so they are giving it another shot. Even if I had the money, I sure wouldn't set foot on that terrorist attack magnet. link.

    Me? Same thing as Tannin, but with a minus before the celcius degrees. I know I can work at -45C outside, but I know I can't do anything above 35C and that I limit my efforts from 28C and up.

    Where is Al Qaida's suggestion box for their future strike? Redmond seems like a good place to land an aircraft. Scratch a commercial airplane though. A fully loaded B-52 would get my vote.

    [news] - Free VMware Server?

    Is space that much of a concern? If not, you would have more features and flexibility with either a 3U or a 4U chassis. A Supermicro H8DCE + SC833T-550 3U rackmount would cost you slightly less, while giving you a better PSU, better airflow, more expandability (8 hot-swappable SATA bays) and...

    The DFI nForce 4 boards are very good too and there are so many people who bought them that online support is phenomenal. Their integrated audio (Karajan audio module) has a lower CPU usage than most other integrated audio solutions. Their LanParty UT nF4-Ultra-D is IMO the best value among...

    A 10% slope is quite steep. If you're not in good shape, I doubt you would have been able to jog that kind of grade. A 5% slope is already taxing. A 10% grade is, well...remember Le Tour de France (cycling competition which Lance Amrstrong won 7 times)? The bad ass slopes they climb are...

    I'll never need an alarm system or an indoor camera. Since I threw my old computer in the middle of the street last year and then split it many times with my axe, all my neighbors think I'm a psychotic murderer. Combined to the fact that I often go out in the middle of the night for a few...

    I wish you would push bio-diesel harder in the U.S. You have a lot of space to cultivate canola and it is less polluting than ethanol (corn is supposedly an environmentally taxing culture). Bio-diesel still produces global-warming gas, but a lot less other toxic matters. It is a lesser evil...

    The water-drinking habit is excellent. It is proven that drinking a lot of water forces your system to filter more stuff and therefore, to eliminate more organic wastes. The result is often to lose weight. Not drastically, but it is supposed to make a noticeable difference. Maybe that's...

    Bicycle is probably better for cardio, especially for overweighted folks, because it doesn't stress the articulations like jogging. Jogging when your severly overweighted is a knees/ankles-killer. But if we want to help Merc, I think we should focus more on food rather than exercice. Sure...

    The GeForce 6150 (and lesser 6100) is the new chipset with integrated graphics from nVidia. GigaByte's boards don't offer DVI output, just VGA, unfortunately.
