Ah yes.. I've heard of them.. I'll admit to leaving my computers pretty much stock, with the occasional upgrade of more RAM or a larger hard drive... Lots of RAM and plenty of disk space is what I usually need for the apps I run (apps like Eclipse, JBOSS, Websphere, Weblogic, Oracle)..
Hmmm..wierd response.. anyway, I've never seen a need for watercooling... my laptops (Dell Inspiron and PowerMac G4), desktop PC, Mac G5, and Sun UltraSparc all seem to stay cool with regular hardware...

I have no idea.. I've got Comcast cable service, I have no idea right off what the upload/download speed is, nor do I care..it's fine for how I use the Internet--check my email, surf a bit, buy stuff on ebay and other sites, connect to my office via a VPN, etc.
I started off with BASIC junior year in high school, then Turbo Pascal my senior year, did more Turbo Pascal freshman year in college, then a semester of Cobol, then everything was C until C++ in my senior year.. I dallied with Lisp, Prolog & Objective-C in grad school, then discovered Java.. strictly Java since '96 with a few months of Visual C++, C and Perl on a couple projects..
Not sure what language I'll learn next; I'm thinking Ruby could be interesting to learn..
It seems so many drivers with loud stereos lack any tact or comprehension of how obnoxious they are to those around them... I'm pretty careful to keep my stereo down when I have the sunroof open/windows down or at night when I pull into my neighborhood (quiet suburban street)... I don't do stupid things either like rev the engine, squeal the tires, etc..
1) cellphones (turn them off or put them on vibrate
2) loud people
3) noisy children---parents, take your monsters to McDonalds, not a classy white tablecloth establishment
I'm standing outside my mailbox yesterday and this punk-ass in a Hyundai rolls up with hip hop blaring out loudly, with his crappy cheap speakers overwhelmed by the bass... I'd love to have had an Uzi or Ak then and there and wiped him out..
Well, I do carry a pair of gloves.. as I said, I've changed flats myself. I was pointing out why many drivers wouldn't.
I have a midsize Jeep SUV (use it to haul my mountain bike, snowboard/ski gear, winter driving, offroading) and a BMW M3 coupe for commuting/fun.
And not to mention some SUVs have the spare underneath the rear floor.. exposed to the elements..grubby, heavy, dirty. Ugh.
My SUV has it inside the trunk floor, but still, a 17-inch wheel on an SUV tire is heavy...and my commuter car has 18-inch wheels on 255/40R-18 tires..not lightweight at all..
Not to mention the sheer weight of a wheel and tire...most soccer moms (and many guys) don't want to heft around a 18-inch SUV wheel & tire, for example..
Good point...true, you need to know where the key for the lugs are...(this happened to me once--had to root around in the trunk to find it). Usually the little bottle jack that comes with a car uses the lug wrench as the crank. The owner's manual will indicate where the jacking points are... I've changed my own tires before, but if I were to have a flat in incliment weather I might call AAA before doing it myself..
It requires knowing how to use a jack and a lug wrench, along with knowing where those tools are stored... I'm sure many drivers don't know where they are or how to operate them...not to mention it's a dirty job.
Exactly..I really don't care about the innards of my laptop, beyond that the hard drive is big enough, it's fast enough to run Eclipse/JBoss/Oracle/XDE/etc, enough RAM, and that it boots when I plug it in...it's just a tool, not something I'm interested in knowing all the details about.
I wonder if this has any relationship to the Internet2 academic network that's been going on for a while with nodes at various universities, incl. my alma mater.

This has happened to me several times in recent months...it went down for 3 days once..Comcast claims nothing is wrong; I don't know if it is my modem or what..but my Comcast cable TV service works fine.
True...I fear the right wingers (esp. the fundie xtains) more than any terrorist threat. If they get their way, Democracy as we know it will be gone in the US, replaced by a fascist theocracy (which is what I think Ascroft secretly dreams of)..:)
Interesting..I hadn't thought about it that way (i.e. Denver being the next DC) but there are a lot of government offices/facilities here on the Front Range. (I lived in Colorado Springs 5 years, now in Denver the past two). We've got the Federal Center out in Lakewood..a bunch of government offices of some sort, I think.
This brings up an interesting question.. I haven't studied language theory or anything, but isn't what constitutes a vowel language-specific? I.e. in English we have a,e,i,o,u, and sometimes y, but in Georgian, perhaps c'k is a vowel, or 'pr'.. just a thought.
Get some cardboard or plywood (covering it in fabric is optional), and build a cube to surround your computer, etc and separate it from the rest of the room.. Arrange it such that one of the cube walls faces your bed so you won't see the light within.

Very interesting to see that such think of evolution compatable with religious ideology..
I consider myself an atheist (I prefer the terms secular post-modern rationalist or functional realist), but have studied a bit about religions.

And why would one want to water cool their PC?

OEL? What is this acronym? Never heard it.. (I've heard of DLP, LCD, HD, Plasma, etc..)
