    Sometimes life just blows.....quite discouraging visit with my neurologist today....

    Let's just say today hasn't been one of my most stellar days........ Background: I'm around 53......not bad shape, at least I thought..........but been having some "issues" that up till now I'd attributed to getting older..... Loss of some of my grip strength, some balance issues going...

    Oil Changes In Europe

    I've always wondered why the oil change interval is still 3K miles...........and it's been that since I can remember back to the '60's. It's not like oil hasn't improved since then....and it has, significantly......or oil filters haven't gotten better-----they have, significantly------and yet...

    Can't OC E4300 on DS3 at all!!!!

    From where did you source your Buffalo Firestix? Did you buy them new or used? The only reason I ask is that while the VAST majority of Firestix have Micron D9 ICs, there was one retailer that sold Firestix with Elpidia ICs.....MicroCenter. Don't know if theirs have changed over to Micron...

    OK...so I'll admit it....I'm a pack rat.....

    I constantly am accused of being a pack rat by my wife.......and naturally, I deny it....I'm just a "collector" of sorts. But, I'm here to bare my soul........I'm a pack rat, through and through. The only reason I'm finally admitting this is the fact I'm in the process of actually cleaning...

    Bush is told war is harming the GOP...........

    House Republican moderates, in a remarkably blunt White House meeting, warned President Bush this week that his pursuit of the war in Iraq is risking the future of the Republican Party and that he cannot count on GOP support for many more months. the meeting between 11 House Republicans...

    Gas price gouging - when are the oil companies going to be held accountable?

    I hate it when people purposefully distort information.........esp. when it's so easily checked. You conveniently left out that Exxon-Mobil is listed in the 2006 Fortune 500 list, either the American list or the Global list, as the #1 largest corporation on the planet........not Wal-Mart (#2 on...

    Bushisms we all love!!!!!!!!!

    1. "You work three jobs? Uniquely American, isn't it? I mean, that is fantastic that you're doing that." (Bush speaking to a divorced mother of three, Omaha, Nebraska, Feb. 4, 2005) 2. "Yes, Peter. Are you going to ask that question with shades on?... I'm interested in the shade look...

    Question for the "Bush lied" crowd.

    There was, outside the Bush administration, no general consensus that Saddam had WMD's nor an active nuclear program.....in fact, most agencies had discredited both "theories" prior to Bush engaging in the Iraq war. And despite Cheney's continued assertions that Saddam and Al Queda were...

    Help! Desperate CC situation! Advice needed

    That's the way I always have had it go. No matter who initiates the offer for credit, be it a card, loan, or whatever, the COMPANY making the offer ASKS the person responding to it to supply the SSN, DOB, and al other pertinent information.........NEVER the other way around.

    Dots sticking all over car

    Usually tree sap, being quite sticky, doesn't wash off simply by using water.....which is why sap removers are sold. Solvents, they are. If what ever it is is simply being taken off by a rinse of water, it certainly cannot be tree sap.

    Ultra 600W PSU FAR (Now Free Shipping!)

    While a case with a door may be stupid to you.......some actually like the smooth look and hiding the optical drives the doored case provides. After all, if you are not using your opticals every 5 seconds, a door is no problem at all, esp. the aluminum versions which tend to be quite sturdy...

    What's the college major that's most "useful" in the real world?

    How do you define useful in the real world? Job opportunities upon graduation and beyond? Useful to whom? Your question is much to ambiguous to really be answered in a simple statement about one degree......from a personal aspect, useful would be vastly different to each and every person...

    Dammit, I hate when people do this

    And by doing that the first time, you set the precedent for this happening. They will expect the same exact treatment. Like has been said time and time again, give away something free and whatever it was is not seen as worth much.....so they view your correction of their mistake as being not...

    Lawn Mower stupidity

    2 cycle oil is vastly thinner than normal motor oil (4 cycle oil). 2 cycle oil is made to be mixed with gas....."normal" oil won't very easily.....and burned in the combustion process and it's how the cylinder is lubricated. To drain the oil on a push mower, you open the fill plug/screw cap...

    Has anyone noticed that Wikipedia is quickly becoming the #1 result for anything you google for?

    But just because the article in question has references listed below it, doesn't mean that the snippet of info hasn't been doctored/corrupted by an idiot on a "I played with Wiki and messed it up good!" spree. True, the referenced sources are nice to have.........but does not ensure any...

    Bought the $10/yr domain special at Netfirms and can't transfer it--says it's LOCKED? Here's how to do it...

    Like I said.......I did two early this morning, moving them to NameCheap. I've got two more to go. But the ones I moved did easily........once I found out how to unlock the damned things!!!

    eBay seller sold me a lemon phone... sent it in for an RMA... haven't heard ANYTHING in almost 2 weeks...

    That's what I do. If it's between "friends" or good traders here, DC is usually no problem at all. If it's expensive or a return to an unknown trader/seller/etc., Sig. Conf. is the only way to quell any non-receipt claim. It's not cheap....$1.90 and that's $1.40/$1.30 more than DC...but it...

    eBay seller sold me a lemon phone... sent it in for an RMA... haven't heard ANYTHING in almost 2 weeks...

    The singular problem with Delivery Confirmation is that all it shows was that it was scanned as "Delivered" when it was put in a mailbox or whatever...if it was put in a mailbox....any mailbox. But it doesn't tell you whose mailbox it was delivered to....heck, even the mailman, in an evil...

    Anyone here speak french?

    I'd think it'd be no more difficult than trying to learn Spanish or Italian.....since all three are very associated with each other in their development and grammatical rules and such. As far as the ease of learning.......you'll never know until you try. Some people pick up foreign languages...

    Bought the $10/yr domain special at Netfirms and can't transfer it--says it's LOCKED? Here's how to do it...

    We all know in the Hot Deals section that NetFirms has had a $10 for one year domain reg./web page hosting plan. We also all know that at the end of that first year, NetFirms want to automatically renew it at $9.95/mo.....or $119 a year. So, maybe you've tried to transfer the domain name but...

    E4300 Overclocks?

    I've got an e4300 at 3.2GHz @ 1.41v. Can go higher but why? Cooling is by a Corsair Nautilus 500 and temps rarely get much above mid-to-high 50C while 100% usage on both cores.

    Need Advice on which power supply to use in my C2D system

    Yeah, instead of Nippon-Chemicon caps on the secondary side Seasonic puts OST caps there. Seasonic does use a Hitachi for the primary. I wouldn't even be concerned at all about those caps.......I doubt you can find a significant population that has had any trouble out of those brands of...

    Case Clean Out Time

    The trick I've found to using an air compressor (I've got two....a small portable that I use to inflate tires, blow out the computer, etc., and a large 5.5hp, 25 gal tank that is used for the air tools and painting)....is to use a blow gun attachment that has a good trigger on it that allows you...

    Koolance Getting PWNED by HWLabs

    Funny you mentioned galvanic corrosion............well, funny in that I just replaced the sacrifical anode on my outboard motor. While it's (the motor) mostly used in fresh water and galvanic corrosion isn't a real problem, we do take it out to salt marshes and estuaries a few times each spring...

    Anyone Have a Scythe Andy and is it any good?

    Had one....bought it form CoolerGuys when they were blowing them out for $19.99.......but returned it. I had some fitment issues with the cooler on my wife's Gigabyte DS3 motherboard. Due to the way the heatpipes exit the cpu block and then curl around to the fins......and they stick waaaaaay...

    DDR2 Backwards Compatibility PC5300/PC4300

    Depends on the motherboard. Had an HP laptop that was running at an FSB of 1066..........but the RAM ran at 667. Why? Because, explained buried deep inside their owner's manual, was the reason....the memory was clocked higher to accommodate the speed for optimal operation of the onboard video...

    RMA'ing to Seagate, are they as picky as they say?

    I've RMA's a couple to Seagate........and they weren't overly picky about packaging. But then again, I used an old Maxtor or whatever brand of hard drive packing I had laying around to send it back in. The reason they want it packed well and securely is that they want to ensure the return...

    ddr2 question

    You've got to understand the IC's that the memory chips are used to assemble the memory. The "review" you quoted was old and more than likely reflected the time when TwinX-5400 DDR2 Corsair RAM was using Micron D9 IC's.....that was way back in Rev. 2.4-2.9. Since that point in time, Corsair...

    Kent State Audio Tape Released

    Right............and so why, then, did the Gurardmen not fire on the small group of students closest to them that would have been throwing rocks at them? And of course, this firing took place over 10 minutes after the majority of the students had been dispursed and only a small group had...

    The fun of installing an X3.........

    As a follow-up to my dilemma with the X3......seems maybe the UPS wasn't the culprit after all. I powered down my system and put a new hard drive in that I bought a few weeks ago...that 160GB Maxtor/Seagate 7200.9 ps that Fry's had for $40....on a whim. I have a couple of copies of Vista...

    What is the Difference Between the Enhance 5150G and 5150GH?

    If you go to www.enhanceusa.com, you will find a LOT of information on all their power supplies. Off-hand, I don't know the specific differences, but there were some, which is why I chose the 5150GH over the 5150G for my wife's computer. I think, besides the paint scheme, there were some...

    Monarch Computer - when did they go under?

    All of the above is true, but when GA shut down Monarch, it was over unpaid taxes.....not over anything else. But I also read that the new owner had made a decision to stock Monarch heavily biased towards AMD cpus. Now there's nothing wrong with an AMD cpu....have run quite a few over the...

    The fun of installing an X3.........

    Well, the power supply is built by Andyson and is a server-based unit. Its efficiency ran around 80% or better except at extremely low loads....under 150W or so it had efficiency measured at 77%.....and also ran into efficiency problems at full loads......around 77-79% at 900+W output. Between...

    The fun of installing an X3.........

    It's got a brand new battery.....well, it was replaced 3 months ago.....and it's an APC unit. Passes all its internal checks when you turn it on.......maybe the circuitry is wearing as it is about 3 years old. And with its output, that's why I didn't even give it a second thought......but...

    Can you pair a E4300 with a Gigabyte DS3?

    Works fine in my wife's system......exactly the same parts she has. A DS3 ver. 3.3 motherboard and and E4300 cpu OC'd to 2.8GHz. Works like a charm!!!

    The fun of installing an X3.........

    Well, I got the opportunity to purchase an Ultra X3 power supply at a great price so I jumped on it. It replaced a quite sufficient and nicely running Corsair HX620...but what the heck. I've never turned down the opportunity to "upgrade" on the cheap! Well, last night I finally sold the...

    Is it pansted or depansted?

    Pantsing, pantsed is past tense, and pants---in this use--is present tense. I cannot believe that anyone would actually think a grammar school bully tough-boy gang would actually say to themselves, "Let's go depants that dweeb." Sorry.....they say "Let's pants that know-it-all nerd over...

    Brutuskend's :HOW TO SURVIVE IN THE MILITARY
