    Don't show your receipt? You are not leaving!

    What jackasses. I'd most likely have ended up going to jail for beating down both the rent-a-pig and the manager.

    iPhone thoughts

    I've got a Treo 650 (no the OS is not from M$, it is a Palm OS) that ran about $350 new. It does (almost) everything the iPhone does but doesn't look as slick doing it. I personally can't justify the price of the iPhone nor the fact that it's tied to Satan... sorry, AT&T out of the box. Yes, it...

    I like GIMP although it's a bit hard to get used to.

    Oddly the US NCIX G7 price is $60 some-odd. Boo!

    Now you know why I'm a zmobie when I get home in the morning.

    Logitech G7 - $50 (Canadian)

    So... after conversion that's like $40ish US? Damn that's one helluva deal!

    What I Do

    Ummm... I have an RCA Pearl MP3 player and Koss isolation earbuds that I wear while I work. I honestly can't hear anything but heavy metal unless it's a song that's not very loud.

    What I Do

    I work in a printing company in the bindery feeding a Stahlfolder so I thought you'd like to see it in action. <object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/5n1htbN1WQY"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/5n1htbN1WQY"...

    Comp crash mystery solved! kinda...

    A C2D machine with SLI 8800GTS cards pulls under 400W from the wall so assuming 80% efficience that's 320W DC. That PC of yours' Stork" shouldn't pull much more (if as much) under typical full load (I.E.; gaming or number crunching) so the 550W should be sufficient. If it continues RMA it to...

    Could they make the name just a wee bit longer? I had enough time to read the whole name in under twelve hours!

    Help Acquire English Soccer Club With MyFootballClub

    Um... nope but that's because I'm into motorsports (mainly drag racing (and that doesn't mean footracing transvestites either)) and I don't see how it could possibly work out with buying a racing team due to the fact that they don't tend to be very profitable.

    How to tell when your community has too much tax revenue

    Actually, whenever police agencies get a car like that it comes via a drug seizure (normally) so I tend to go with the whole "more power to 'em" frame of mind when I see those. I've seen Camaros, Corvettes, Escalades, Lamborghini.... all donated by some nice drug dealer.

    Samsung YP-K3 2GB MP3 Player

    Everything is "copied" from something else. The nano looks like cigarette lighters that used to be around when I was a kid, the "eternal match" type that looked like a stretched out Zippo and had a porus metal wick with a striker on it and a small striker on the bottom or side of the lighter...

    Could multichannel (surround) sound on the PC be dying?

    Yep, I've had my Z560's since 2003 and they're still kicking ass and taking names. I don't foresee getting rid of them unless I win the lottery or get a huge raise.

    Could multichannel (surround) sound on the PC be dying?

    Personally I think the problem with high end speakers is that they're not something that you replace with every refresh cycle. The manufacturers don't seem to realize that though so they think that interest has waned simply because people aren't going to buy a new set of >$300 speakers every...
