  1. Re:Interesting stuff... on AMD and Intel CPUs Supported On Same Motherboard · · Score: 1

    FWIW, the company I work for sold thousands of the boards, and now we're starting to see them come back, a few a week, with bad caps. Might want to check for any swelling on your previously functioning boards.

  2. Thinkpad for sure on Apple-Quality Intel Laptops? · · Score: 3, Informative

    I work in a shop that sees a ton of desktop's and laptops alike, and the only ones I never see for hardware problems are the Thinkpads. I personally use a beefed up T20 w/a 900MHz PIII and a DVD/CDRW drive, and I couldn't imagine using another laptop (besides the 15" TiBook I lust over). They're built like tanks. I dropped my TP 600 prior to this one about 5 times from 4 feet up before I gave it to my mom. She still uses it for school. Just avoid the i series. They're built like compaqs.

    An unborn fetus is more of an extension attached to, by techinical definition, a parasite. This "parasite" is the placenta. Until the fetus is delivered, it continues to be a parasite. This means that the woman with the unborn fetus should be able to do what she wishes with it, especially if circumstances point the choice of abortion. It is totally unfair for anyone else to step in and try to stop someone from making a choice like this. I'm in Oregon, and we have legal abortions and assisted suicide, both of which I agree with. I'm not about to just sit here and let a totally right-wing government dictate my available choices. Yes, I'm male, but if I make a mistake, I'm not going to expect my partner to suffer for a mutually bad decision. It just isn't right to force someone to go through intense mental and physical trauma if they don't want to.
