I read instructions for nearly everything I buy while I'm on the can. The time required is usually enough to scan for anything important or interesting. The technical specs are almost always interesting, and sometimes I miss a feature that is not obvious in the product (think cell phones).
Check out http://www.xbconnect.com/ It allows you to play "system link" enabled games over the internet. It's free and works great! At this very moment there are 203 Halo games being hosted! Jup and look for kornkob.
In IE with the google toolbar installed, you can go "up" one level in a website (you have to add the button to the google bar in the options dialog) . Very nice when you click into a site that has you many layers deep and you want to move up quickly towards the root of that website.
--taken from google--- For example, say you are currently viewing:
http://www.example.com/articles/may/money.html Clicking Up will take you to: http://www.example.com/articles/may/
Clicking Up again will take you to: http://www.example.com/articles/
You can use the drop-down list to navigate directly to the top level of the site or to an intermediate URL if one is displayed.
This may be a bit off topic.
I lost my seti password. The seti "forgot password" funtion will not work for me because my ISP changed it's domain and I forget to change it at seti (cox cable picked up their own cox.net after ditching home.com several years back)
Is there any hope for me getting the password or will I have lose my 43000+ computer hours when they completely switch?

I used to work as a HVAC tech at Wright-Patterson AFB in Ohio. As such a good portion of the equipment we maintained is for computer rooms (including a Cray system).
From the HVAC viewpoint, two important factors are the heat load vs. capacity and the design of cooling equipment.
Air conditioning units loose compressors frequently due to "slugging". Slugging is what happens when the refrigerant is not fully boiled off as it leaves the evaporator and returns to the compressor. If liquid reaches the cylinder of the compressor, the reed valves get bent (in a reciprocating compressor) rendering it useless. New "scroll" compressors can deal with this a bit better however, they too will fail in some circumstances. Simply put, the warmer the room, the more likely that all the refrigerant is boiled off before it reaches the compressor and the accumulator. With the room chilled to colder temps, the refrigerant may not boil off fully due to the small temperature differential between return air temp and discharge air temp. chances go up in the potential problems that can occur. This directly relates to the life expectancy of the compressor. While high quality air conditioning units are designed against such conditions with accumulators and suction pressure regulators, a regular air conditioner typically has no "anti-slugging" devices because they are designed to run under very specific conditions (outdoor 70-100+ and 72-82 F indoor temps. (something to keep in mind if you are thinking installing a run of the mill residential/commercial air conditioner unit in your server room to save money).
BTW, over sizing the equipment can be just as bad as under sizing. Oversize the equipment and it will short-cycle rapidly thus wearing out the mechanical and electrical components, humidity control issues, and slugging./kc

Great, I wonder if he'll deploy the shaky cam. Jackass directory ruined Bourne Supremacy.
Ya'll know about http://www.xbconnect.com/ right? Killer app allows system link games to be tunneled over (under) the internet. Legal and free.
