Hi everyone, I cannot get steam to run. It's a new install. Everytime I try it updates to 26% then goes to an error screen saying: "Steam is already running. You may only run one copy of steam at a time." I've disabled the auto run feature at startup, still nothing. Steam Help only...

Would anyone NOT recommend getting a $100 miter saw?

I've got a Black and Decker. I think I paid around $80 or so. That was 7 years ago and it still works fine. I don't use it all the time but it works just fine when I need it.

Its high time I stocked a bar

A good tequila is Souza. Not too expensive and so much better than Jose Q. For wiskey I like Makers Mark. Knob Creek is also very good but more expensive. 3 Olives Vodka is a great buy for a decent quality vodka. Also Finlandia is very good. You might also want some Baileys for coffee...

A math problem for you geeks out there.

'I divided 2006 by four and I got 501.5, and I knew that all of those numbers had to be divisible by two. So those were underlined exactly twice. ' This is wrong because some of those numbers will also be divisible by 3 and will be underlined 3 times.

2Gb Flash drive Even Better $4.95 after Rebates and Google Checkout

It appears there are 2 rebates. One for $20 and one for $5. They both require the original UPC label. I emailed the rebate center to see if they will accept a copy for one of them. I'll post when I get a reply. Even if you only get the $20 one, it's still a good price for a 2Gig drive.

I got the black one, (I think it looks cool), and the sticker on the box says "Extreme Edition". The one pictured at Newegg (the green one) does not have that sticker on the front. I'm guessing it's purely cosmetic, but maybe...... just maybe...It'll give me the that little extra advantage...
