We don't let our cat outside. Cats loose about 1/2 their lives when allowed outside, and, your vet bills double, or more. For example, somewhere in her very brief trips on the porch, or, perhaps we brought one in, thought I haven't had a flea bite in years, she managed to get a flea. She then...

I bought a really nice fountain, with charcoal filter, etc. for my cat to drink out of. She wouldn't touch it, instead going in and drinking from the sink, shower, anything else. Cheap date she is.

OK: New motherboard was put in. Worked INCREDIBLY WELL for the install of XP, boots in 45 seconds from black to working, using the Vertex turbo. After that, wouldn't go to boot screen at all, intermitent, then work, boot, and freeze. I now think I've got two good motherboards, and one bad...

Fry's restocked prices are so high that it's not worth buying a used item, vs. a new one... I much prefer frys to Best buy.

DD: This situation seems not to support that theory. CT is saying that 939 motherboards, die early, 5-6 years, vs. 12 for the Supermirco X5DA8 I'm typing this on. Capacitors, design, whatever, the CPU is fine, I think. From my observations, the thermal paste application is near perfect, and...

I forgot who I was asking... This is why I like server quality stuff. I've never heard someone say the motherboards designed for Intel Xeons won't last but 5-6 years before dying. There is really no reason for upgrading this machine. It plays movies, bluray movies, just fine. It plays some old...

I'm on my 4th or 5th 27" Samsung Monitor. So far, at Costco the Price has dropped from 320 to 259.00. This last one P2770 with 1ms is fine for a second monitor. Had a scare at Costco today. The entire shelf was filled with generation 3 A350 27" monitors, except for one. The A350 had no price...

I'm barking up the same tree. GA-K8N Pro-SLI is likely the culprit. No boot, no video when it did boot, and video card was checked. Had two GA-K8N Pro-SLI builds go out within months of each other. Since Cougtek is usually on the money, do I buy another board? GA-K8N Pro-SLI I could find...

Me too!;-)

My mistakes with women in the 80's was incredible. The list of mistakes I made is truly absurd. Diane Lee Hsu is the tip of the iceberg...

I was such a dog. At UCSC, Tandy Beal had a dance class. Girls who danced their entire lives all wanted to be in that class. Since my mother had been a modern dancer, and, I have a weakness for incredibly fit, flexible women, I decided to try and get into the class, with little dance...

Diane head shot and backing One wife: Another:

CT: Got that here. I guess anyone that uses raid arrays on Macs, 12 years ago deserves it;-) Plus, this idiot is a bit clock work orange. You'd never believe it, unless it happened to you. On the otherhand, I had Diane Hsu, so eat your heart out;-) S

Who needs an excuse? Watch Pacific Heights sometime. Turns out even if you know someone for a long time, you may not REALLY know them. Big difference between putting up with random weird behavior, and, being around it all the time, and, seeing it up close and personal. I will say there were...

Ahh, the ending chapter in this story. The guy moved out, to move in with his drug dealer friend in Oakland. I didn't mention he got high on cocaine, and, I woke up to a house filled with smoke, 5am, and, the smoke alarm going off. He burned himself, really bad, trying to take the flaming...

I just had a similar experience. I was walking up a very steep hill, in complete umpire gear, and, I was amazed how winded I was. I find that without proper stretching and warmup, if you just jump into something, you can find that the initial experience is somewhat like you are working against...

As usual, David has found a neat item. Can't wait for the review. GS

I was underwhelmed by David's X-25 equipped netbook. If that was a huge improvement, then I would dump the netbook, and buy something else.

Jumpster is in the other room, talking. I figure she wants to be brushed. I ignore her. She comes in, jumps on my lap and then on to my desk. I feed her some treats. Then she goes to my coffee cup, and pretends like she wants to drink from it. Then, when that doesn't work, she paws the coffee...

Biking is a specific set of muscles, and, type of endurance. Nice bike, by the way. Keep it up, and good luck.

That maybe true, but, it's a common development platform, an OS the masses are used to, and all of what you said;-) Let's not forget, they are expensive, as well. Wonder how much MSFT gets for the OS on those tablets?

I'm happy with what I've got: Nikon D50, made in China I think. Don't see much difference between that, Canon, and any of the others these days. Telephoto zoom is up to around 400MM, IIRC, not really enough for good surf work, though I haven't tried it, much. Also came with a 35-150MM zoom...

Tradition at Bells for the winner. Don't know how real but, the guys do it too. The winner is painted up, and they play a horn, IIRC.

"Leave a Message" Shot mainly in the tropics: Pro women top surfers. Great moves, beautiful women, tropical incredible beauty, moving women's surfing to another level. Incredible... You really need to see this movie. ...

"52" plasma with 3d for $800? Watch out, they might be 720p panels. Pony up for 1080p. " They are 1080, but out of stock. LCD/LED are dropping the prices big time on the plasmas. They are cool, use little energy, and weigh a ton. I'm not really convinced LED edgelit is really that great yet...

I was at Costco today and learned a bit. The lady was thrilled to death with the Panasonic 50 inch Plasma for about 649., and the 52 inch with 3D support for about 800.00 She argued the refresh rate was so very fast, faster then 120hz, and the screen was pretty much unbreakable. Also, she...

Odd that you pick an absolute fanatic for SSD's, who wouldn't care if they failed every 12 months, he'd still use them:confused:? Have to check out the new model he recommends...

Are they faster? They are using ATTO for speed results, and, I wonder about that accuracy...

Running a mail server,demo server, development server, 3 VMS, and exchange server.

Hi If you wanted a server box to run VM, using 64 bit, 7 Ultimate, and probably VMware, yet didn't want to add the straw to the camel's back on your PG&E bill, how would you configure the machine to be both fast, yet have limited electricity usage? Inexpensive would be good, as well, but I think...

Saw Fast Five in a regular theatre, with a good sound system. EXCELLENT movie. Look forward to seeing it on my home system. Seems the projection lacks a bit in resolution. Characters and story lines are really well developed, and fun after 10 years, 5 movies.

Chewy509: Your use looks a bit like mine. I hated my Samsung, sold it on ebay for a decent price, and went with a Nokia 5230 for 119.00 from Costco. Here is why I like the Nokia: I don't want to spend a price fixed 30 dollars a month for a smart phone data plan. My provider offers an unlimited...

A major factor in the decision to buy the Heresy's was the size of the apartment, and the location. If you look at where the pier ends in this picture, you can see my old house. I had the down stairs, and, it was built like a pillbox, with dirt, cement, etc. at the back, and, the speakers faced...

I guess that's the elephant in the room for me. I can't hear certain frequencies, and things. A clock ticking. One ear channel is 50% closed, due to cold water making the bone grow over the channel, and, the constant high pitched whistle can't be good for my ears, either. Perhaps now they can...

What steps did you take to find out which speakers you favor? What stores did you go to? We've got a bright group here, and, I'm wondering what you decided on for home stereo, home theatre, computer speakers? I use Klipsch 5.1's for the Beast. Decent inexpensive setup, and, I only blew the...

What steps did you take to find out which speakers you favor? What stores did you go to?

Forgot to mention most of our big speaker places, or system places are gone, victims of the economy.

"I don't express the same argument method as Mercutio, but I can say that I never equate loudness to greatness in terms of music fidelity. In other words, I don't care that it's 12,000 watts if the sound coming out sounds like two butt checks flapping together. You shouldn't even need a large...

I guess you need to get out and listen to Klipsch speakers, in particular their high end, old school stuff, not their new computer stuff. Yes, the bass actually can be felt in the lobby. The sound is just very loud, totally filling, and pretty amazing. Yes the movie industry is obsessed with...

Saw Thor last night, Imax 3D. I'd like to see the movie in two D, since I found the 3D best only for brief periods. Seems you get out of focus background that was probably incredible in 2D, for two guys that seem to be fighting right in front of you. The Destroyer was very well done. Loki, I...

Thanks. The data involved is MASSIVE. If it's not bullshit, it's one of the biggest companies in Kalifornia, and, their document management. So far, I have nothing to indicate that this isn't a scam, but, it might be I'm just super skeptical, after my last room....ass. To be real, the...

Apparently the plan is to use Zamanda as a backup system, and use Virtual servers, on one main machine. http://www.zmanda.com/vmware-backup.html?gclid=CJbpic7E0qgCFQwFbAoddiUGiA Reminds me of David's stuff.

Apparently the projects require the use of 64 bit Exchange Server. Screwy as this may sound: Is it possible to run a 64 bit OS on VMWare, when the host machine is 32 bit? I ran 64 bit XP on my machine, but, it's got 7 Ultimate 64 bit as a base.

Thank you for the suggestions. Using the drive on a 64 bit OS, in VM was what I first thought of when the problem was brought to me. Since my experience with VM's has been on equipment not really server designed, drivers were a problem, for the simplest of things: USB, DVD drives, etc. I'll...
