Neat.

Do *NOT* tell your wife you are attracted to another woman. It's "normal" - healthy, some say - to be attracted to other people. That's fine. But you just may irreparably damage the faith your wife has in you. Is that a price you are willing to pay just so you can feel better (or relieved, or whatev...

Great thread! :D I'm rather fond of most of the poets mentioned here so far. Two of my favorites are William Butler Yeats... The Second Coming Turning and turning in the widening gyre The falcon cannot hear the falconer; Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold; Mere anarchy is loosed upon the worl...

Amazon has the 1 gb iRiver T10 for $89. Never judge by the MSRP. So I ended up purchasing this: iRiver T10 (1gb) And it's AWESOME! It has nothing to do with Apple. It's colorful, compact, and the menu system is very user-friendly. It even does FM radio! I don't care about being non-apple, but your d...

I've had excellent success over the last couple of years with both Samsung and Seagate drives. I've used several of each in various builds with no issues so far (crosses fingers and toes).

Awesome. I had a 15 lb Maine Coon who could be pretty fierce - and he looked the part. However, he was absolutely terrified of bears. He once hid for 2 hours after seeing one through the window.

A little over a year ago I got my fiance a Newegg refurb Rosewill 19" LCD and it's been reliable with no dead pixels so far.

Many newer AMD-based motherboards have manuals that recommend an ATX v2.x PSU. In addition to more stable performance, there are other features - such as built-in fan control - that are part of the ATX v2.x spec. So I would say that tin order to take advantage of all the benefits/features some of th...

Flying Fox is not trying to scare away potential help for your quandary; he's suggesting there may be ways to increase your PC's performance more profoundly than a faster hdd. Switching to AMD 64 does not cost "billions of dollars". A 3700+ with a S939 motherboard can be had at Newegg for under $300...

Frodo and Bilbo have the same birthday, Bilbo turned 111 and Frodo turned 33. Frodo was not in his 50's.

Yes, but some 17 or 18 years pass from the time Frodo "comes of age" at 33 to when he sets off for Rivendell.

Have you considered selling your current rig and building one from the ground up that is more suitable for your needs?

FlippedGazelle

I blame Elijah Wood. He was totally miscast. He should have been an elf, not a Hobbit, what with that girly, fine-boned look he has. Also Frodo is supposed to be in his 50s according to the book, which makes the Frodo/Sam relationship less of gay thing and more of a Master/Servant friendship and re...

Nelliesboo, you need to chill out. Why on earth would you attack Vrock's military service? It's not just Bonds who's being singled out for steroid use. Mark McGwire, Rafael Palmiero, Jason Giambi and others have felt/are feeling the heat as well. I believe a total of 11 MLB players and also some min...

FlippedGazelle

WE can think what we want about Bonds. WE can be disappointed by his guilt. YOU, on the other hand, don't understand the history, the journey, the ride we've been on. YOU don't remember the 90 losses in 1992, the potential St. Petersburg Giants. YOU weren't there that day when Pacific Bell Park ope...

Ugh, sorry about your woeful day, dragmor.

I was pretty lazy... mowed the lawn, did some house work, and am now getting ready to go fishin' w/ my girl.

Can you change "Cpu Speed: 100mhz"? That may be your "FSB".

Good advice from MadBrad. Google is your friend.

Just bought a 6600 gt 256 ram to replace my old fx5700 le, however at the moment I dont seem to be getting near the performance Ive seen its capable of in benchmark tests, an example on here I saw a counter strike source test and they got nearly 100 fps while I am getting only 50 (1028x768).

The mind still reels at the engineering review process at Dell that caused them to approve changes to ATX power supply connections. Was that stoner dude in charge of design?

Congrats on the new cat! He's adorable.

I have three, and love 'em all to pieces.

Follow liquidsquid's and Vrock's advice and you will have a happy kitty. Another good brand of food is Iams. We change the two litterboxes twice a week in addition to multiple daily scoopings.

What version are you using? I'm not experiencing this problem in 1.5.0.3.

Mac OS X is a far superior to anything that MS has come out with and in fact Vista is just a belated clone of it. Is it (Vista) truly just a clone of OS X? I've never really used a Mac in recent years, and my knowledge of it is virtually nil. I've read the "Vista is an OS X clone" sentiment sporadi...

The CCC is a pain to use anyway, I'm not surprised you couldn't find it! I agree. Something interesting I found. I recently picked up a HIS X1800XT. HIS recommends downloading and installing drivers from their web site. Which I did. Catalyst v6.3 In the unzipped package there is a folder called CPa...

"{Ars} are not your typical [H], Toms, or Anand users, so yes, they are a bit more mature, and do sometimes come off as elitist." That's a pretty funny statement, as you would hope that with maturity people would feel less need to "come off as elitist." I like Ars, though. However, the $5/month deal...

It will be interesting to see if Walmart will be able to sell products honestly, or look to take advantage of the uninformed.
