Yup Two Too rich guys working together to try a fix the world. all good causes (health and education) getting somewhere around $3 billion a year for the next 20 years, and Gates is likely to put another $45 billion in the pot over the next 10-15 years. When you look at all the money our...

Even if you like the device itself, and believe it's worth the money, there is a certain morality factor in buying one, given the current stories about the iPod factories. http://www.macworld.co.uk/news/index.cfm?RSS&NewsID=14915 not that other chinese factories may not be just as much of a...

Tape drives are still a legitimate form of backup media and floppies are, urr umm...:confused: .......OK I guess that icon could use an update:rolleyes:

the reason for the realitively small amount of flash and the high price is the cost of the highspeed flash. As the production ramps up the cost of the flash will drop 10-100 fold, making these drives competive with other high performance drives. 100% solid state drives (diskless hard...

ScarryLarry at 100 feet you may be pushing the realworld range on that thing, depending on what is between you and the AP. have you tried being closer?

di-link makes CHEAP routers, some models work ok, others are full of bugs. also being very close to the AP can cause as much problem as too far away (plus wireless seems pointless that close) try it at 5 to 10 feet.

the upgrade from SP1 to SP2 may have reset some of the network settings to default. You may need to go back and re-tweak for best performance take a look here http://www.dslreports.com/forum/microsoft try running their free tweak test

I have to agree, the iPod is overhyped, overpriced, and over valued. And I actually have one. recieved a 30 gig video as a gift, played with it for a couple days, plan on giving it to my son, but I would gladly trade it for an equal value of other more generic MP3/ flash storage devices...

I've never seen ANY recognition software, voice or handwriting that does everything perfect, I found just getting the majority of the text correct and then editing/search and replace did ok (as I said with older versions) and speeded up my work. (because I'm a poor/slow typist, and used to do...

But it can learn (or at least older dragon versions could, I stopped upgrading at 6.x because the price was rising faster than the USEFULnew features.

so I was pretty close on the amount of GAS (what MadMat asked), but didn't allow for fuel oil or jetA. I am suprized that the Jet fuel is so low, and why it is seperated from kerosene (jet fuel is basically high grade, very clean kerosene) and it make the fuel cost in Hawaii all the more...

I don't know exactly, but different grades of crude probably yield different amounts of each by-product I guess somewhere around 50% on average so 42 gallons in a barrel maybe 20-22 gallons of gas. maybe not that high, as alot of other things come out of crude

I was listening to a national energy analyst on NPR talk about the why of predicted $4 a gallon gas for the west coast this summer, and the host had the same thought. The analyst (I forget the name, but very famous, and usually right) pointed out that the money is now longer is in having the...

I agree change won't be instant, but it does HAVE TO happen. My thought with the toyota type diesel hyrids is they seem perfectly matched electric motor to help with acceleration (where diesels suck) and high efficiency diesel running only at it's optimum speed or off throught a CVT...

shouldn't camo for a computer component be like a ciruit board? In this case look like empty Dimm sockets. My son would love the idea (12 years old, wears all camo, as much as possible) but with the silver metallic perf behind it, it hardly makes sense. Still it's an easy 'decorator"...

looks great for advertising, but too low res for computer use. still a cool idea, maybe the next gen will be even better

yes some of the european diesels get amazing fuel economy. I suprised we haven't seen a diesel hybrid. there used to be a lot of opels in the US but now GM (which owns opel) uses some of the designs in it US cars ,but doesn't import them under the Opel name anymore.

Unfortunately marketing surveys show that the average american wants MORE power, instead of better gas mileage, even though most complain/are hurt by high gas prices. the Hybrids can be built to be super effecient or to give a power boost without having to pay for/fuel a big engine. My...

then you are smarter then all of us steve Hope you're feeling OK

$3.199 this morning for regular, reportedly as low as $3.06 in some local areas (I'm not driving 20 miles out of my way to find out!) What sucks is this is the best time to mow my fields so I've used $60+, so far still not done, and it would be better to do a second pass before it rains this...
