    best gaming video card for ~$120?

    thanks for the suggestions. i think the 7950 is a bit too much for his budget, and anyway several people in the other thread mention how loud it is. i'd prefer something not too noisy if possible. for a mid-range system would the 7900GS really make much of a difference over a 7600GT? i'd...

    MBA: Tier2 schools better than none at all?

    check out the october 23rd issue of businessWeek, "the best b-schools" -- they compared the return on investment of attending a top-tier school vs. a second-tier school. after seeing the numbers it's pretty hard to justify going to those better schools, but of course this depends on many...

    Bay Area folks

    but the loma prieta earthquake was on/near the san andreas fault, centered in the south bay. a major earthquake on the hayward fault (the red line running through berkeley, fairly close to carquinez) could be devastating. (lotta bay area folks in this thread!)

    burn-in for harddrives?

    maybe to clarify: if i use the drives very heavily for a few days (ie, a burn-in), and one fails, is it because it was going to fail anyway and i accelerated it, or do drives usually fail randomly?
