  1. Just a guess but I doubt your aunt does very much or what she does is very similar to business needs.

  2. I actually have audio quality monster cable usb attached to my mouse, this has helped my latency quite a bit. It's hard to more though....

  3. Interestingly enough I don't believe there is a solid state geiger counter.. they still depend on tubes. They have made some small ones but they are still too big for a watch.

    The solution is to fix our government. For some reason we can't seem to do that......

    Sounds like VW just saved enthusiasts from having to buy a chip for their car.

    Yup, a real lack of curiosity....when I was a kid there was nothing to do so I would drag home tvs or lawnmowers out of peoples trash and tear them apart or fix them.

    A lot less? You imply that somehow the OS is worse by more than 8 gigs, which is a ridiculous claim. I have work machines with 8 gigs of ram and they hardly ever max out, and when they do it's because I never close anything and have 50+ windows open.

    "Apple can do *more* with 4 or 8 GB of RAM than Microsoft can do with 16 GB of RAM. "

    This is the dumbest thing I have ever heard....I have 12gb of ram on my win 7 machine and i have never maxed it out.... multiple versions of VS, photoshop, countess chrome tabs. What planet are you on?

    It's like 50$ to set up a LLC. If you are messing around with custom drivers it might be a good idea to use one for liability reasons too...

    Even when I was 14 I wouldn't have considered that fap-worthy..... the good old days, when we rooted through the city dump to find discarded issues of Hustler and Penthouse....

    When such a person has no moral compass and is not particularly smart you can have some pretty strange consequences.

  18. It is pretty striking when it changes but after a few minutes my eyes adjust and I don't even notice it. It does seem to help, haven't had any problems sleeping after I started using it.

    I am a computer professional with 20 years experience and consider my time valuable. I have no interest at all in 'fucking up my computer and fixing it' for little or no gain. Windows 7 has been rock solid and I don't see any need to change it.

    I would say it is on par... Most computer users are savvy enough to understand that if your computer is working okay, don't mess with it.

    If someone comes into my store and wants to change a 20$ bill for rolls of quarters and tells me they are going to use them to buy something illegal... do I have some kind of obligation not to make the transaction? It seems like a really shaky and bizarre way to entrap someone.
