Power Water Cooling Kits

I would love to use water cooling but there is just something about having water inside of my case that makes me very uneasy. But for all you hardcore overclockers out there this may help you out a lot."
He was a bad actor, and now he's a wannabe geek. The fact that he was a minor celebrity five years ago is immaterial. Maybe the new Linux mascot should be Alf! We should have Tony Danza on the new GNOME committee!
Wil Wheaton is such a moron that someone guessed his Slashdot account password and started crapflooding with it within a week. It's a newbie UID, by the way: Wil hadn't even heard of Slashdot until the interview!
It's almost fitting, though: both Linux and Wil Wheaton are immature hacks unsuited for work in the Real World. Both are yesterday's news. Both are pointless. Hey, maybe Wil does have a place on Slashdot!

Pakistan was expected to take delivery of its first two batches of new-generation F-7-series fighter aircraft from China in late December, according to Pakistan Air Force Chief of Staff Air Chief Marshal (ACM) Mushaf Ali Mir.
The F-7PGs were scheduled to arrive in Karachi on 17 and 20 December, said ACM Mir during an interview with the Rawalpindi Jang newspaper. The first deliveries, totalling around 40 aircraft, are slated for the 31st Fighter Wing at Quetta/Samungli, with both batches to enter frontline service by April 2002.
The shipments precede the planned retirement of Pakistan's remaining F-6 fighters on 23 March.

Screw XP, Windows 2000 is a man's best friend!
Does anyone have a link that shows why AMD systems run hot? I'd like to see some unbiased info about that. I'm split between Intel, AMD and Mac. AMD users seem to really love their systems, almost as much as Mac users. Intel users seem to be quite indifferent (they often zoom in on video cards instead of processors for discussions). I guess I'd just like to get the big picture. Any suggestions?
Hahaha!
I guess XP is snazzy. Like NSYNC or MacOSX. But I'm old fashioned and new fangled things don't interest me like a good toke of the weed.

Does anyone else play with POGS? Or is it just me?
putting on a fat exhaust, aftermarket boom radio, and an intercooler for more speed and 'wow!' factor
Don't forget tweaking your wheels until they are turned inwards and bending the axles!
I also enjoy the spoilers that are so large and fat (and misfitted) that they actually INCREASE the drag on the car.
It's funny how so few of these souped up cars actually do the one thing that would speed up the vehicle -- add a turbo supercharger.
"And like that
And my timely, intelligent submissions never make it to the front page? Grumble groan...
"Yeah, I was thinking of putting SCSI and a water cooler on my Packard Bell Multimedia 5000, dude..."
grumble groan...
What if Afghan women actually have the best bodies in the world? Think about it.
Ok, I've thought about it. Every time I've seen you post it. And I still don't get it. What's your point?
*BSD is already dead.
Not trying to flame here, just some info... turning the wheels in or out is called toe-in or toe-out, and it can change the performance of the vehicle, especially in braking, acceleration, and turning... spoilers almost never reduce drag, they are designed to add downforce, or aerodynamic force pushing the car into the ground to increase traction at high speed. Lastly, there is no such thing as a turbo supercharger, they are two very different devices , both used to add horsepower and/or torque to an engine. To start enhancing the performance of a car, you should first add a programmable Engine Control Unit (ECU) to alter the torque and horsepower curves for the stock engine. Next, the exhaust system should be replace for less pumping loss, and then a turbo or supercharger.
Oh well.
OK so this may be a little off topic but here's one for ya. Being a little too overwhelmed with work I didn't want to take the "build your own computer with water cooler solution" and picked up a Compaq EVO500 Small form factor PC dirt cheap on EBAY. Nice and quiet but I am now stuck with a "low profile" AGP card. The included one is dirt slow (NVIDIA Vanta). I found a couple of others GEFORCE2 MX200, etc. But most are crap. Anyone know of a decent "Low Profile" Card?
