Me? I'm drowning in PCe 4x slots. Every time I order anything from Newegg, they throw in a whole bunch of them. Hell, they packed the my last order in 4x PCIe slots. I spilled some 4x PCIe slots on my living room floor and threw them away because they were dirty. I'm thinking about replacing my...

They can kinda-sorta burn in. You can fix "LCD burn in" by leaving the screen on and displaying a black image for four or five days.

I'll just save everyone the suspense of reading the 15 pages of little weeny pages and spoil the surprise: "However, RAID5 arrays still leave much to be desired. I dare conclude that HighPoint software developers should pay a little bit more attention to this array type. However, I am confident...

I'm perfectly willing to pay that sum, but I'm going to check with the US distributor of the product to find out why it's available in Sweden but not the USA. Thank you so much, TheSwede!

Nothing makes a better picture than a CRT. I'm fond of DLP, as it's available for larger screen sizes than LCD, but prices on LCD displays have come down, while DLP remains expensive, and DLP needs new bulbs every so often (I'm on the second one for my TV). LCD screens have gotten bigger and...

Name your price.

I pay $8.50 a month for 20GB of space on a server - it grows by 1GB a month, I think. 900something MB, anyway, and 120GB/mo transfer. In that space I have two complete DVD images, 1 CD image, and sometimes I use that space to download whatever other stuff I feel the need to download (wget). My...

I have several sitting around if you need one.

I was out most of the day. Now I am not. I still need the internet in my car.

Seriously, TaxAct.com costs all of $13 total to E-file state and Federal taxes, if your income falls below whatever their threshold is for that year. I used to use it for my Ex's taxes.

Use Taxcut?

34' shorts??? You, sir, are a god! Either that or you meant "

Gosh that's terrible. Only 110GB more I can transfer between now and tomorrow. :)

Not worth it. You lose 16-bit compatibility (a lot of older programs use 16-bit installers) and general driver availability is for shit, and you gain, um... wait, lemme think... oh yeah! Absolutely nothing. mubs, I don't think you'd like Vista, either.

Google Applications all seem to have issues with privacy. I'd rather not install one. Google Maps misses my street address by about a mile, so I can't use it, either.

I'd like to share a pair of video files from a British television series examining the nature of religious faith from the perspective of a rational non-believer. The non-believer in question is Richard Dawkins, evolutionary theorist best known for his book The Selfish Gene. Dawkins meets with...

I scored about 25% "Female". I didn't do well measuring angles and I did extremely well on the "remembering what objects moved" test.

More of The IT Crowd, including torrentable versions, streaming video from yourtube.com and direct downloads sans DRM.

The IT Crowd. Ideological successor to Dilbert and "Office Space". Watch the DRM on those .wmv files.

Do you want an x-mystique or not, ddrueding? I have one left to sell...

Dude, that's not even CLOSE to work-safe... But, yeah, I do. She has a small frame and very large implants that're on top of her pectoral muscle. The surgeon did a great (fantastic, even) job, but if you look at her chest above the breast (it's hard, I know), you'll see that the skin over her...

In rough order of likelihood, I'd say the causes of WPEs are most often drivers - especially display drivers or real-mode network drivers, motherboard "issues" or bad RAM. Or, possibly that hard disk with the bad sectors. You're gonna replace that, right?

What's wrong with standard wire ties? When I want my cabling to look neat, I use 4" or 8" ties every 2 inches or something along the run of the cabling.

Can't believe I'm typing this from work... Not so much with the Vivid - they've gone too far toward what I think of as hateful, or at the very least disrepectful, plotless action. I liked Vivid well enough, because in the past they had both the very hottest stars and very high production...

As I understand things, it's not illegal to download (or, I guess, not illegal enough to bother with prosecution), but uploading is criminal behavior. Bittorrent, by the way it works, implies reciprocal uploading. There are ways around it (hacked clients), but in general, once you're connected...

... followed by a rain of frogs. ... and then a plague of locusts.

Landslides, Coups... I predict next week, the Philippines will have a Blizzard. :)

I'm not responsible for doing this, just looking for advice since I didn't have any particularly good ideas (other than scanning more than one at a time and cropping). As I understand it, the cards are in individual sleeves or plastic cases, not sheets, and the party wants a high-res scan for...

There's more to it than that. Generally silcone implants take a more natural shape than saline, but saline is IIRC the only material available for use in the US (well, there's poplypropelene, which is used to make the 48ZZZ-type mega-implants). The quality of the implant also depends on the...

The AVIVO enhancements are primarily directed at improving video playback, actually. Someone interested in video editing would probably appreciate higher-quality output. :)

Anyone have any bright ideas about the most efficient way to scan several hundred baseball cards for Ebay listings?

... and thus, Sol spoke, and in the wholeness of his words, explained why Merc - socialist, humanist, feminist weeny that he is - can rationalize his massive, massive porn collection.

32-bit. And it was dying at a point that I've never seen the installer die at, too, pretty much the moment the installer starts loading the integrated storage drivers. Of course, once I got Windows up and running, the SATA ports worked fine, but I still think that's an odd behavior.

I'm not the expert on that issue! As far as my new build went... I don't know if anyone else had an issue with this, but my Gigabyte board (GA-K8N Pro) absolutely refused to install XP until I disabled all the SATA channels. I'd get a bluescreen error while it was loading the initial driver...

Thank you for spelling S*ny properly. FWIW, your customer will undoubtedly thank you if you can come up with a copy of S*ny Screenblast. Even Nero Vision is a better editing tool than Windows Moviemaker.

Demonoid.com has a cracked OSXx86 10.4.4 (that's the shipping version) generic install DVD online. No support for nVidia graphics (go Apple!) or CPUs that don't have SSE2, and AMD users have to apply another patch to make it work, but it's out there.

Not big enough. :(

Finally got around to installing one of the X-Plosions. It is, needless to say, breathtaking. For my sample this time, I treated myself to the full 2:24:03 of "Lord of the Rings" soundtracks from lossless FLAC source. There's a great mix of music in that, from strings, heavy percussion...

Pro lets you have more network connections at a time, but I doubt you have enough PCs sitting around for that to matter, either. It's actually an issue for me, which is why all my Windows machines are running some variation of Windows Server. Well, that and I hate XP. -- The nforce4 + Scythe...

Er... I'm almost positive that every ATI card with two outputs can do this. It's mostly just a matter of configuring Windows' display properties for it. A quick check of the Windows machines I can see from where I'm sitting shows three computers that all have a secondary display.

Er, which are the actresses that look like men, anyway? And, at least among A-list-types, I can't think of any with implants, either.

15" CRTs haven't been $500 in at least 16 years, ddrueding. :P

Kneel before Zod!!

Nothin' wrong with a flat chest. Waist, hips, butt, calves, cheekbones, lips... - those are the things that really make a woman look like a woman. I'd rather see a lady with a flat chest than one with ginormous implants. And seriously, if you think a woman looks like a man just because she...

I think it has a lot with the way people use their computers. Most people, me included, tend to work with a single maximized application at a time. Other apps may be running, but generally, I only have one big window at a time on-screen (usually on their own desktop). In that case, beyond a...

New Vista build should be out by the end of the week. Supposedly a feature-complete version. Supposedly everything that will be in the shipping version except for some of the artwork. I don't know if that includes things like the "free" version of VirtualPC (available in the "Ultra" edition) or...

See subject. My favorite monitor - a Viewsonic P815 (21", .22 dot pitch, can do 150Hz refresh @ 1280x1024) - is on its last legs. I want to replace it with another 4:3 display of slightly larger size. 23", 24", something like that. Something that would make 1600x1200 comfortable to view. Why...

IIRC, HighRes audio supports ProLogicc 2, which is kinda neat.

Scythe "Beef Bowl" Power Supplies are surprisingly nice for the money. $20, 350W PSUs with a decent heft and an integrated 120mm fan. They're very quiet, too.
