I've seen pop cases of 20, was wondering why it was a bit cheaper than usual, looked at the 20 on the side finally. Course, the cost per can was actually higher, even though the total cost was less =)
I'm a 24 year old Canadian. I grew up with the school system teaching me Metric. My parents work in English units. To this day, I usually have to convert temperature, weight and height to English, for it to make sense to me. When i'm driving in the US, i mentally convert the posted mph speed limit to kph, since it's harder to see the smaller MPH markings on my speedometer.
Trust me, it's fun when you have an American in the car, who has never seen a Canadian dashboard(big letters are kph, and small is mph), and he looks at the dash, and thinks you're really going the 120 "mph" that the dash says.
Regarding your last line, that's what a dual or more display is for! i've had times when the icons scroll off onto the second monitor.. sad part is i run my main monitor at 1600x1200.. we're talking something like 250 icons on the main desktop, and a few on the secondary. People at work wonder how i could find anyhting, and then i demonstrate. "ok, file starts with a f." And i start pressing F till it highlights up on the screen.
Ok, to make this ontopic. My desk is the same way, every couple weeks i take a bit of time and try to hide everything that's ugly. There's the Ouija board(white board) up on the wall, although lately it's showing the same dozen or so items. I had a palm pilot at one point, lost the stylus, which was ok, its easier to use the popup keyboard anyways. The palm pilot didn't Didn't really help me, i prefer my internal wet-ware scheduler and calendar. =)
If the source for windows/office is really out there now, guess that'd prove once and for all if there's GPL/equiv code in there somewhere, if someone takes the time to look
from reading the owners manual on the ceo's seville sts at work, it's designed to run in a case of total coolant loss. Runs on 4 cylinders, and pumps air through the other 4. Flip back and forth as needed, to keep the system cool enough to limp home.
sounds much like the iceman cold air intake used on neon's among others. good for a nice power increase, simply because it pulls air more directly from the air(tube goes straight down, picking up near the ground), instead of going through various tubing like factory stock does.
And under NT too. I ended up putting a promise ultra/33 card in, so i could disable that HPT366 piece of shit. Installed CpuIdle Pro, and finally, put a heatsink and fan on the chipset, it's reasonably stable now. Usually manage 2-3 months of uptime under NT.
Till i figured out the hpt366 was buggy, and the heat issue, it crashed every couple weeks:/
8 miles a second. Here's a stupid thought. It's moving at 8 miles a second. How do you catch it on the other end, to look at it? If it hits anything, it's destroyed, no doubt about it, so that information plate that's on it(if that wasn't a voyager only thing) is destroyed. So you have to have technology capable of hunting this thing down by accelerating to its speed, and then grabbing it, and slowing it down. If one of these wandered through our solar system, we'd have a hell of a time catching it, even with todays technology, no?
I was thinking more of the lines of if the chipset has to be scrapped because of bad sections of the cache, that without the cache, wouldn't have had to be.
What happens if there's a fault in that "new" 8 meg that's being used? Do they just do a regular chipset version, like intel's 486sx with the disabled co-proc? If not, then faults in this 8 meg space, is going to cost them more money because of the added complexity.
I think the copy-protection, would be the fact that there is a logo on the cup. If i rotate the cup, the logo is facing the other way. Therefore, I am not looking at the logo in the proper manner. Therefore, my mind is not affected by the logo's message, but merely by the coffee. Which, as you know, is not the intent of the coffee cup manufacturer. They want my mind to be in a receptive state when i drink the beverage, and my treasonous act has subverted that message.
sometimes there's a gap between the baseboard, and the carpet, stuff the wires into that. That's what i did here, had to run wire around the doorframe to save on running 60 feet around the room, but it works.
see the slots along the bottom? stick your screwdriver in that, and if you're holding the keyboard flipped so the space bar is away from you, upside down, make that little tab in the middle go down. after that, you're on your own.. the only other keytronics i've taken apart, is my 8 year old one, still works great. as for the winkey, i believe there's tools on microsoft's webpage SOMEWHERE, called winkey or something silly like that. supposed to disable the winkeys.
i'm currently using one of those logitech "internet" keyboards. didn't bother installing the software after my last win98 install, so I'm not using any of the silly keys.. Nice little keyboard, last time i had to wash it, i took it apart, and just tossed it under the bathtub sink for awhile to rinse it out. Threw it in the oven on the lowest setting for about 20 minutes, cause i was lazy. let it sit overnight, works great.
but much higher taxes. if you're lucky, you'll make 50-60k CDN(30-40k US), and then get taxed quite nicely on that. It's very hard for a Canadian to find a good paying job in Canada. And to work in the states _legally_ requires a degree.:/
you can pick up p133's with 16 meg ram, 1 gig hd's, and a 12.1" tft screen for about 300 bucks usually.. get some ram off ebay for cheap. for 400 bucks, you might even find a p166mmx, with 32 meg.
i've got two of the p133's inbound, for 250each, if NEI ever gets off their ass and figures out how to charge my credit card. they claim the bank rejected the charges. Which is interesting, cause there's far more clear on the limit, than what they're trying to charge.
Heh, just checked your age. You might have to borrow a credit card =)
Lets go for a head on. You approach me on an intercept vector, at 60mph. I approach you at 60mph. I think you want more than 100 feet of notice. At that speed, from the time you look up from the cell phone you're busy dialing, you should JUST about see the blades of the other copter that's going to go give you a REALLY bad day.

Well, for your CD's, you need a caddy. I'm sure someone still makes cdrom drives that use caddies.

have to hunt down what i'm running then. It had the mb for months, before i gave up on trying to fix it, and stuck the promise board in. thanks

Erm.. Whose side was I on again?
I'm peering at my coffee mug right now. You're saying if i perform a 180 rotation around the long axis of my cup, you're gonna sue me?
:)
What's the difference between a left hand and right hand cup?
As of right now, hotlists are only on the same server as you are on.
but the salary rates suck, as does the much higher taxes.

much like you need for a phone line on the analogue port of an ISDN modem? :) Power goes out, your modem shuts off, you're phoneless.
