    Speaking of Excel.. Does anyone know of a DECENT spreadsheet program that supports more than 256 columns?? I've been googling the whole day trying to find such a beast. It doesn't even have to support formulas, charts or have any fancy features. Basically I need a tool that displays my tab-delimited text into a table grid, and supports basic edit cell/column/row editing.

    that's it!

  6. Transformers - some observations. on Complete Transformers Generation One Set on ebay · · Score: 2
    What's with the ghetto blaster guy who is the size of a two storey building but when he transforms, he is reduced to a regular size ghetto blaster?

    In the movie there is a triple changer Transformer (train - space shuttle - robot, I had'im) who was to carry a whole bunch of other Transformers to some planet (while he was transformed into a space shuttle). Around 10 of them jump aboard INSIDE him, including the constroctabots(sp?). I remember they had a fight in mid flight, and the constroctabots transformed into devastator (who has to be the size of a building).. while still inside the space shuttle guy, what's up with that?

    Energy cubes. How the hell do they get the energy to be self contained in the shape of a cube?

    Flying. Most of the Transformers could fly as robots as if they were Superman. Starscream was a jet fighter, sometimes he transformed to fly, other times he didn't.. what's up with that?

    The planet where they are from. It's not a "human" planet! where did the VW beetles, ambulances and fire trucks come from??

    Optimus Primes' fuck!ng TRAILER.. where the hell did it come from?

    and finally... WHAT'S WITH THE TWO HUMAN FRIENDS!!! (you know, the dad and the kid with the hard hats and lab coats)

  12. Re:ATI on 3Dfx No More -- NVidia Purchases Video Card Maker · · Score: 4

    ATI has long had a reputation of putting out awful drivers. If they manage to put out decent drivers and improve their technical support, then they might be a worthy contender. If you ever visit the ATI newsgroup you'll see post after post about poor support and shoddy performance due to drivers/software.
