Critique my health/weight loss plan

One question - why the huge overload on protein shakes? If you're doing this for health, drop the shakes and eat real food, preferably vegetables and fruits. Your kidneys will thank you later. Also, to be ready for endurance hiking, you need to be doing more things that build endurance...

Networking over wall outlets

Nothing under 60? Froogle shows about 5-7 in the 30$ range.. and PCI wireless cards are cheap as heck also (just saw one for about 6$ recently). But, Like RebateMonger stated.. there could be circumstances where PowerLine networking is the best option. As for surge protectors, there...

Networking over wall outlets

Ditto.. especially since that Power outlet job looks to cost about 10-15 bucks more than a 802.11g wireless bridge. And I guess you would need 2 of the Power Outlet doohickeys.. so make that "a lot" more instead of 10-15.

Matching memory to a motherboard

Those are just different names for the same thing. Here is the JEDEC naming conventions for DDR2 memory. (See the attached table) Any of these would work with your MB. Since you're not planning on overclocking, just buy the cheapest 'quality' DIMMs you can get. (But I would say stick...

Matching memory to a motherboard

Either will work fine. The main differences that I can see between those 2 dimms (besides the speed - 667 vs 533) are the timings. The timings on the 667 are relaxed (4-4-4-12) vs the 553 (3-3-3-8). Now which will give better performance? I haven't seen a conclusive benchmark on...

FTP Noob

Yep, that's exactly what you need to do. Be aware that FTP is unsecure (sends username and passwords as plaintext which can be easily sniffed).

Boot Problem and Instability with 2GB

That's pretty much the best method. If you are testing both sticks individually in the same slot, and they both pass, cylce the test through the slots with a good stick.. Since this board has 4 slots (If i remember right), if you have 1 bad slot, you still may be able to use the other 3.

Digital psu for pc's?

^Closest answer so far Couple of questions for the OP: What do you mean by 'Digital Power Supply'? What is a digital amplifier? An Amplifier by definition is analog, not digital (although there may be some Digital->analog conversion involved before amplification but that has nothing to...

Cool. If you do ever get a PVR going, even if it's Mac based, I would be interested to hear what you went with.

MythTV or Freevo?

Did you ever make a decision? If so, which one and how did it go? I'm leaning towards a KnoppMyth install myself, but am still about a month away from the freetime necessary to get it started.

[DEAD] LiteOn 300W PSU $19 @ Directron

I got the power supply you linked to (the 420W Turbolink) in a Chieftech case I bought from those guys a while ago. I haven't really been too pleased with it. According to my motherboards voltage monitor (which isn't very accurate, I know), my 3.3 runs at 3.15 and the 5v runs at 4.75. I have...

Somehow I don't think you are attempting to boot the rescue floppy on an ALPHA system. You need the rescue disk for i386.

min requirements for Red Hat 7.1

Yeah, that's plenty for an install of just about any linux system. Trouble is, you have to limit your install severly. I would install as little as possible, then add stuff as you need it, package by package. That includes X-windows.
