    Folding@Home

    Following PeeWee? You gotta be kidding me. Besides, moving to the same project as SR would get us in competition with them. Ultimately, that would probably cause a merge of both our teams into a single one. Since we have less folders than they have, we would be the one that would be eaten...

    Spinpoint P80 results at SR

    On par with the similar Maxtor drive, except for the three years warranty. Fast enough, although not a category leader, and very affordable all things consider. Samsung has a winner here.

    Bloody Red Hat 9.0 can't find path to C compiler

    Thanks for the tip, it might have been the problem, although I can't figure out why the whole GCC compiler shouldn't be installed by default during the installation, since you can't do much when it's absent. Anyway, now most of the things work. We were quite proud of ourselves at the end of...

    Red Sox's coach is a complete imbecile!

    Really? You're in California and you were a fan of the farthest team from your area? Is your name Buck Tremblay or what? I tend to prefer teams for the players who play for them. That's why I liked the Colorado Avalanche from the moment Roy came with them and why I like the Red Sox in...

    Bloody Red Hat 9.0 can't find path to C compiler

    So obviously, I can't ./compile anything, which is quite annoying to say the least. How can I set the correct path to the C compiler (presumably GCC) in Linux so that the clueless operating system can allow me to compile new applications I need to install. Since not everything is available in...

    Red Sox's coach is a complete imbecile!

    I've stopped watching the game, I know Red Sox will lose. Wouldn't it has been of their stupid coach, Sox would be in the World Serie by now, winning the seventh game 5-2. You're lucky to have guns in the U.S. Now prove me you know how to use them and shoot Grady Little.

    Red Sox's coach is a complete imbecile!

    Why, why did that old fat cleless dummy had to leave Pedro pitch in the 8th inning? Why? Please tell me! The Red Sox's bull pen has been exellent in the series and Pedro rarely pitches more than 7 innings. He did a great job in this game to give a chance to the Sox of winning the game...

    Review of new Toyota Prius

    Buck just explained why your TransAM would fare worst than a Prius or almost any modern car : You might die as well when hit by a SUV, by your survival chances would be substantially better in a modern car. As for the point that Nissan and others recently introduced more powerful engines...

    Review of new Toyota Prius

    CraigLC, I figure you believe that your '79 TransAm is safer than a modern hybrid car? If yes, forgive me for laughing. And perhaps you don't realize that your '91 Jimmy is a lot more prone to make top in a curve than any car too. I'm pretty sure the majority of accidents involve road exits...

    Review of new Toyota Prius

    Unfortunately for me, Toyota has decided to sell the new Prius for 30 grands here, making it more expensive than in U.S. (According to current exchange rate, it should sell for roughly 26,400$CDN to be of equal value as the U.S. offering). That makes it a lot less tempting. I will probably opt...

    Review of new Toyota Prius

    It would only be fair since the bastards from the oil and auto industry insisted to classify them as work-class vehicules, so that they wouldn't be restricted to the same anti-polution measures as cars are. BAM! You want work-vehicule classification, no problem : out of the urban streets where...

    Installing nForce unified driver on Linux doesn't work.

    Yes, that I know. But the issue occured during the OS installation and Anaconda asked me to change the CD, so it should have umount the disc alone. It didn't. So I became a bit tensed and my primary corthex decided that it had enough of it and that it would be a good idea to force-open the...

    This is so great.

    New Case from Antec

    Do you know how to read? There is no crap in Antec's lineup except perhaps if you compare their Solution series (and derivated LanBoy model) to higher-end models from other manufacturers. Their Performance series, all four of them, are excellent cases. If you tell me that the Performance...

    New Case from Antec

    The SLK3700AMB is part of the Solution serie. The model Clocker linked is part of a higher-end serie and shouldn't suffer from the flaws common to the Solution series. Yes, it is. In fact, it's worst since it's made of aluminum while the metal isn't thicker, so the case is in fact...
