    Floyd Landis wins the 2006 Tour de France

    Not really. The last stage is for sprinters, who are all hours behind the general classification so there's no threat. None of the top three are going to risk their existing spots anyhow, plus they wouldn't have a chance at time bonuses against true sprinters like McEwen who are eager for a...

    Floyd Landis wins the 2006 Tour de France

    There's another Tour thread but this deserves a thread of its own. Floyd Landis has won the 2006 Tour de France after obliterating Pereiro in the last time trial to get a gain of nearly 1 minute. Since the last stage in Paris is reserved for sprinters and Pereiro got his initial lead...

    Can you handle a night shift?

    Most places will have some kind of night shift differential, anywhere from 5-15% usually.

    what is the difference between regular rice and minute rice?

    Just buy a Zojirushi cooker and be done with it. Rice comes out perfect everytime, not a single grain wasted to being burnt/dry/clumped. Essentially zero effort process.

    Whatever happened to the sporty $14k japanese car

    The 300zx was never 14k. The base level non-turbo '84 model was $16k. Figure in inflation and that number pushes 30k in today's dollars. Oh, and for that you got a car that could do a 1/4 mile in mid 16's -- impressive at the time but pitiful for a car that's supposed to be 'sporty' today.

    **Unofficial** Tour de France 2006

    Wow! What a stage. Landis just won a stage all on his own from the beginning. Now only 30 seconds from taking the win, with a time trial to go (Landis' strength). BTW, today's stage blew away anything that Lance ever did, so if you aren't watching, you've missed out on a lot.

    Dual core Centrino Laptop

    Dell XPS M2010 - 18.5 lbs - 20.1" Screen - $3500 - "Laptop"

    I have to give them credit for coming up with a unique design, the first time ever. But the pricing is outrageous and in fact, insulting to existing customers.

    Canker Sore Driving me crazy...

    I've spent countless hours trying to find the answer as I'm a frequent canker sore sufferer: The only effective relief for canker sores is to use a pharmaceutical product called Debacterol. Don't bother running to your drug store because you wont find it there. You may be able to get it at...

    Returning software

    You might want to look into a credit card chargeback. It's well documented from consumer reviews that Ghost does not do what it claims to do. Ghost is the biggest software scam on the market IMO.

    YACT: '97 Mazda Protege

    From my experience, cars without tachs usually have the lowest base engine in them. That often means an engine that makes most of its power in the midband range with a rapid decline in power approaching maximum revs.

    Is a MBA worth the time and money?

    It all depends on your background. If you have a technical degree, an MBA can be very valuable because it teaches you business and strategy concepts that you never formally learned. That's valuable to an employer from a managerial aspect. The school doesn't even have to be a top ranked one...

    Had some 'road rage' today

    That doesn't sound so bad. At least she had a passenger in there. I've seen as*hats in the HOV not only go slow but also they were the only person in the car -- that's a recipe for road rage for anyone.

    Should my mom pay for this repair on her car, or buy a new one?

    Brakes are wear items, so there's zero reason to even think of abandoning car just because of maintenance. But I agree that 400 is way too much. You can do the work yourself for a fraction of that.

    **Unofficial** Tour de France 2006

    Yea, but Landis is a solid climber. Like I said, unless he suffers more mechanicals, crashes, etc, he's a shoe-in for the win.

    Thinking about starting a small computer business

    Completely disagree. If you can't even read a balance sheet or produce pro forma statements, for instance, then you have a long way to go before trying to start up a business that has a remote chance of being successful. Otherwise, you're just throwing money away, wasting your life away.

    Catalytic Converter - Safe to remove?

    What do you mean by 'remove'? If you hollow it out (free if do yourself) your car is going to sound like crap, since the shell becomes a pipe organ resonance chamber (think of riced out hollow-sounding cars, that's what it will sound like). By doing it right, you have to have a test pipe...

    Thinking about starting a small computer business

    Suggest you work for someone in the business for a few years at least. Take business oriented classes at college, then come talk to us. As it is now, you would be committing suicide by trying to start your own business and expect it to be succesful at the same time.

    **Unofficial** Tour de France 2006

    What a great time trial stage! Aside from miracles, Levi will not get a podium position, looks very iffy Hincapie can win, and as long as there's no more mechanicals plaguing Landis at the worst possible times, the odds are very much in favor of him.

    I never had any problem with text size not adjusting, with only one exception: IE with the forum here (Firefox is a better browser anyhow). The only programs that didn't adjust were stuff from win95 days that haven't been updated since. AOL? I guess if you're still using them then you deserve...

    YACT: K&N Air Filters...bad for your car?

    I've used K&N all the time and never had any issues. As far as overoiling, I guess you'll find the same idiots who inflate their tires to what's written on the sidewall will end up putting too much oil on their K&N.

    College Orientations

    I guess it depends on how large your college is. If it's huge and a generalized orientation then I'll say it's a waste of time -- most of the people you meet you're not even going to bump into again. Smaller colleges or orientations for specific majors is a different story.

    Canon S1 IS

    I disagree, the quality is far more important. Wideangles by nature suffer from distortions noticeable on shooting architecture, and fringing at the corners at full wideangle setting. On a non-SLR it's tough to even find one that doesn't come out crappy. I am very happy with the Raynox; you...

    Canon S1 IS

    I got the Raynox wideangle lens from lensmate for my S1. It's fantastic for wide angle, equivalent to about a 25mm, plus you still got enough power to zoom to 5-6x even with the lens attached. Unlike cheap ebay wide angle lenses, the Raynox wont give fishbowl distortions.

    You can sell your plasma, common, but they do screen people and weed out junkies, prefering college students.

    Can you use old boxes to ship stuff?

    It's a good idea to mark off or use a sticker to cover any company logos. It's not unknown for boxes to be sorted without first looking at the address destination label. That could cause major delays in getting your package delivered or even misdelivered.

    **Unofficial** Tour de France 2006

    Poor Vino, he gets punished for not even being on 'the list'. It might be fun just watching the crowds this year. I imagine more than a few spectators having paid thousands of dollars to come see the Tour are not very happy campers right now.

    How much do Astronauts get paid?

    With the hours they put in, they probably barely make minimum wage. I somehow don't think a single one of them are in it for the money though. Most of the scientists have Ph.D's so could easily be making many times what they are now at half the trouble. It's the honor of being a participant...

    **Unofficial** Tour de France 2006

    Yes, it's now official, Ullrich has been terminated by his team and is out of the race this year, and considering his age it's likely he's finished for good. Basso is likely to be removed real soon too. So who's left? I think Landis (not implicated) might have a serious chance at a shot...

    **Unofficial** Tour de France 2006

    From the news, it looks like neither Ullrich or Basso will be riding after all, among half the riders on the tour roster. If that's the case, it's a big dissapointment.

No problem whatsoever and has more than enough power for the jobs I've done. Put the money...

    Laptop got FVCKED! :(

    What do you mean by 'important data'? If you're concerned about the data on your harddrive, then it's a simple matter of just removing the drive and attaching it to a USB 2.5" drive enclosure (~$10-$30) to another computer.
