Palpatine rules the catholic Church! We are doomed. P.S. I know this one is old, but I needed a place to compare pictures of both.

I forgot to put a link to the original article.

So far, the lowest coefficient drag I've heard about was the one of the Corvette at around 0.27. You can't carry anything inside a Corvette. This one is spacious and it has a significantly lower drag. I hope many manufacturers will copy this shape and introduce cars featuring <0.20Cd. I...

I knew it before and I'm sure many among you know it too, but Konqueror passes the Acid2 test. I'm typing on it right now and the test looks exactly like the reference page. Konqueror also has tabbed browsing. It feels slow on that machine though (old Thunderbird 800MHz with a paltry 256MB of...

I need a program that can tell me the bandwidth between two points of a network. Copying a large directory with a stopwatch isn't precise enough. What are you guys using for measuring the bandwidth of your networks?

81 meters.

From Nasdaq, at 14h33 earstern time : MXO : 6.80$/share, quoted market value : 1.727B$ WDC : 17.86$/share, quoted market value : 3.852B$ What's stopping them? About 2.1 billion U$.

Western Digital's sales increased significantly after StorageReview.com started to bless their Special Edition Caviar. The news has been posted on the front page.

Instead, they are spending billions to erect a wall between them and Mexico, while contemplating the idea of doing the same with Canada. Talk about paranoia and wasted money. Isolating yourself behind a wall, that's so Germany-during-the-cold-war-like. They have taken a page out of the Israel...

You know, "never" is quite a bit more than 10 months. Tried another 25 times or so and I upgraded my best score to 79 meters. I'm almost as proud as when I won 25 straight freecell games. The page often hangs for a split second and that's always when the drunken bastard's brother-in-law falls.

The Guillemot Maxi Gamer Xentor 32 works, its fan isn't completely dead. The Radeon 9100 is dead capoute. I won't bother testing the GigaByte card. I put a Western Digital WD400JB that I had in surplus and I installed Kubuntu 6.04 on the system. Unfortunately, I have no cable to connect it...

Ok so the ECS mainboard and T'bird 800MHz also work. I used the PC2100 DIMM on it and the defective Diamond Stealth AGP card (the colors are dark, probably because the analog signal is too weak). I can confirm that the Adaptec AAA-131U2 works, but that the Barracuda 18LP 9.1GB (not 8GB like I...

I care. We won't be ale to get rid of the clumsy PATA cables until SATA optical drives arrive. The sooner, the better. IMO, they should have been here for at least a year.

On total, we've had 41cm of snow here yesterday. That's 2cm shy of a record.

What's 555-1212? I only know 328-7448.

Merc, I watched the strongest women competition and judging by the charges they lift, I'm stronger than the winner. I very much doubt that, no matter how much hormones it takes, a used-to-be-a-woman could kick my ass all day long.

I've only read the first page and my impression is that the author of this article is one frustrated crap-pusher. I'm so tired of the following argument : That's like saying KKK members probably have african roots. Oh and : Now I would like to see a gay try to kick my butt. Not gonna...

We've had 35cm of white shit so far today and the meteo man told me that we still have some 5-10cm coming on us untill the end of the afternoon. I don't even think they've had more in Buffalo. Too bad I don't have a camera. I would have had some very good shots to do, like my car. People...

Because s939 doesn't require registered RAM.

I've been unable to access SF for most of the day. I'm sure it's the CIA, alarmed by Flagreen, that shut it down because of my (and Merc's) anti-Bush comments. Damn conservative rednecks!

Those cops should be beaten until their face looks like strawberry jam, chained and pull behind a truck in a dirt trail and then shot between the eyes without ceremony­. I can't stand authorities' abuses. The only reason they ask for ID is to show they are in power and that they are the boss...

ULi is only worth 52 million U$? That was pocket change for nVidia. So maybe their future nForce chipsets will have better SATA performances than they currently have. As for ATI, this is a serious blow to their chipset business. They better hurry their SB600 and hope it is a lot better...

I'll tell you if it blows up, but so far so good.

It took me around an hour an a half to transfer my system from my old enclosure to the X-Qpack, but I took my time. I encountered no major difficulty. It felt quite flimsy, but when everything's fixed and screwed, it isn't all that bad. The enclosure is very light. The PSU too, which isn't...

I finally received it and it isn't that small. It probably has more than half the volume of my Antec Sonata II. I haven't started to transfer my µ-ATX board into it because it is still too cold. I should do this later today.

I installed it yesterday and while it's true that the front module felt shaky, it did work. Oh and I forgot to add that this module fits into a 3½ bay, not a 5¼ like I first thought.

I think the s939 Opteron were a great way for AMD to get rid of their lower grade Opteron cores. They might have been stuck with them otherwise or they would have had to sell them for even less than they did by making them compatible with s939.

I talked to him and he's fixed on the F-250. He says he doesn't care about the fuel cost. I didn't ask him about the additional pollution because I know he simply doesn't care. And he doesn't want the diesel engine because he fears someone will automatically steal it. Go figure. He's the...

From the eweek article linked above : Who's the last one who said larger cache amounts for hard drives were useless?

So if you move 1 newton on 1 meter in 1 second, you've spent a joule, right?

Is that your version of "weiuagh"? Or "a;fljgh", or "fjagharrh", or maybe even "ajkrhgkajdrdnv"? These are all results I get when I type randomly on my keyboard, just like Greg seems to have done with his mouse cursor in the emoticon window.

This could interest the Canayans and Québéçois members of the forum. Both the S12-500HT and the S12-600HT are available at discounted price. 138$ for the 500W and 180$ for the 600W mammoth. All prices in maple leaf money­.

The Mitsu Raider is a light truck (a Dakota in oriental garnments), just like the Tacoma and the Frontier. If he goes for a light truck, he might very well get the Ridgeline instead. Even though it isn't built as sturdy as the others, it drinks less. And if he gets a light truck, it will be...

Actually, on average it is more 360 points, not 450. Maybe if you get something with an 800MHz FSB, it will produce above 400 points per day, average. My next 450 points unit is due around 1am tonight, so if I have points today, it will be from my Duron system, not my P4.

...or a cure for some unknown cat disease. Think about your kitty.

opto? I got the "last [...] of mine was rather scrambled". But "opto"? Should have been spto, maybe?

Thanks.

Scratch that, he didn't post today. I was looking at the user local time at SR.

I found it. It's not Gary, it's Ian Hobday. And he posted today at SR. Our Gary's from Houston, Tejas. It's not exactly near Japan.

I don't know about Philippines, but if their culture is anywhere near the one in Texas, he could end up being shot for this. Watch out.

What was the name of the American guy living in Japan? He was promoting Smoothwall and I think he posted under the name of B4RSK at SR. It's been a while, but I'm sure he could answer most of your interrogations about the japanese culture.

You know, Splash is only one of the sock puppet names. Guy's true name is Gary. I don't quite understand your apparent emotional attachment to that particular sock puppet name. I either call him by his real name or by the name of the sock puppet he is currently using. I'm eager to see how...

Voilà in this context means exactly the same thing in both French and English. Voilà generally means "Here is". Voilà Doug qui prend des photos. Here is Doug making shots. [/French class]

I suspect paugie isn't a retailer and doesn't have access to other parts to swap/test/troubleshoot his system. Also, he lives in the Philippines, so I don't expect him to have the budget to go out and buy some new toys whenever his current hardware no longer suites his mood. Paugie still has a...

Is the Dual Xeon working 24x7? If it does, then your unit production is abnormally low. Even with a single instance of the client running on it, it should average almost 400 points per day by itself.

Maybe when they all won't fit in San Francisco, they'll move there.

Shit, I have friends who have iPods (well, not them, but their kids do). So this means I'm the one who will end up dealing with that crap. So I guess I should stay clear of iTunes 6 if iTunes 5 is installed and working?

Then he's talking about a "face cord". That should be easier to fit in than a full cord. The Ridgeline's bed measures 60" long x 49.5" wide x 20.7" deep. That's roughly 5' by 4'. So a single face cord would barely fit (3 rows 5' x 2' x 16" and the additional 2 cubic feet on top of it near...

Thanks guys, especially Bozo. That's what I needed to know. So a "cord of wood" is the correct translation. Good to know. So there's no way he'll be able to carry all the wood he planned to, no matter what he gets. About the Dodge Sprinter : it doesn't have the off-road capability he needs.

Honda's new pickup is receiving positive reviews from everywhere. Its fuel appetite is certainly one of its strongest points, but there are a few others. In collision tests, it received the best rating for side and front impacts, something that no other truck can claim. And it also seems to...
