But yah, with the waistline and the rather omnious circular crater in the center, it does make you wonder if a Rebel refugee has taken refuge at Saturn.
Oh man, I feel quite stupid. I mixed up alot of things there. Well sorry whoever asked the question, don't listen to me anymore hehe.
However, I don't see any problem in what I did. Because if something wrong gets posted, people like you will correct it. You played the Wikipedia editor in a sense. Otherwise, I would have gone on in life without knowing it. That's not the best way to spread information.
And don't shoot low with the avid overclocker insult. Sure I enjoy overclocking, but if I recieve absolutely no negative impact from it is it such a big problem? Maybe I desire to be in a cool room due to certain components being over heated even if they aren't overclocked. The 6800 GT's are extremely hot with their stock heatsinks, no overclocking involved. If I leave X running for days then play Xplane, I can expect some throttling. Thanks for correcting my post, however.
Building a computer resilient to cold weather should not be a problem in the slightest. In fact, many computers would run effectively much much better in a cold climate. A big factor in the overall heat that the CPU gives off has to do with the ambient temperature. If you buy slightly new hardware, chances are they are going to give off an immense amount of heat...which is a problem facing microprocessor makers in general, the rising heat problems. Trust me, a Pentium 4 or AMD64 would love a cold climate.
This only leaves us with one problem. Although the computer will run fantastic (i wish my room was freezing cold!) in a cold climate, the only thing that the cold will aversely affect is the initial bootup of the machine. Like a car, a computer requires the most energy in the first moments of startup. If you are booting up a computer in a cold environment (a cold cold boot hehe), you may have some problems. Therefore I suggest you get a power supply of at least 500-600 watts, with a strong consistent 12v rail. That big juice of power should really help that part out.
I've never had to protect my computer from sawdust, but I've had to protect it from dust and cat hair (oh yah...believe me...lots of cat hair = lots of excess heat). When buying a case, make sure the exhaust and intake fans have good filters. If they are good enough to collect dust they should catch most sawdust. Not to be taken lightly tho, sawdust can probably very easily build up and start on fire. However besides that the only component that must completely be kept clear of any sawdust is your hard drive. Any sort of foreign molecule will cause it to screw up, so when buying a hard drive make sure its fully encased and not one of those drives which has its bottom open with the circuit board showing.
Since it is going to be rather cold, your computer will most likely require less hot air to be blown out, therefore perhaps you should look for a case with only two exhaust points. Also while you are cutting up shelves and such, it probably wouldn't hurt at all to cover the computer with a plastic covering.
Also, one last thing I advise to you is to purchase a dehumidifier of some sort, and put it right by the computer. Moisture will probably build up rather quick outside, therefore you want to have a dehumidifier and leave it on for a majority of the time. Moisture and computers do not like eachother. Good luck!
Text messaging is indeed a big cause in racking up debt. When I first got a cell phone, I swore to myself that I'd never use the text messaging service. However its really damn hard not to use it when someone is text messaging you. I've noticed girls using it quite a bit, as it is easier to talk to someone you like through text messaging at first than actually calling them up, due to being nervous and all that good stuff. What I think really sucks is you are charged if you RECIEVE a text message. That means someone could theoretically make you go bankrupt. I'm able to not pick up a phone call, but I have no say in whether I recieve a text message or not. So yes, I have sent a few text messages in response to the ladies out there, but recently I grew a brain and started doing the smart thing: Reply to all my SMS messages for free using gAIM.
Wasn't the Itanium project dropped as a whole? As far as I knew some important partners working with Intel pulled out and Itanium's were going to stop being produced.
Also do not get me started on the calculators. They are practically non existent anymore as HP killed them off.
Are you saying HP has effectively destroyed all competition in the calculator market? I have seen very few HP calculators in my life, most of the calculators were in fact Texas Instruments.
Not too sure how buying a flat screen TV is considered emotional. Perhaps its considered emotional when you realized how much money you in fact wasted when you see the quality of the tube (can I even call it a tube anymore?) and the bill side by side.
Hey, if I was rich, I'd plop money down for this. There's nothing more annoying about TV's than the fact that they are big and heavy. Me, an average/.'er, does not like big and heavy things. Plus having a flat screen tv would leave more room for my bundle of disarrayed computer components.
I'm currently a college student who is going to be majoring in Computing Engineering. This article is something I should have read before I started my first semester at college, specifically the "don't blow off the non-CS classes". My first semester was mainly non-CS classes and it did hurt my GPA slightly (nothing I can't fix tho). He brings up an important part, I believe, in how necesarry it is that you must be able to convey your ideas through speech and writing well. The whole microeconomics thing is some good advice too. Ooh and its nice to hear that we shouldn't worry about all those jobs going to India. The only thing that made me scratch my head in the article was this passage in relation to Computer Programming as a job:
If you enjoy programming computers, count your blessings: you are in a very fortunate minority of people who can make a great living doing work they enjoy. Most people aren't so lucky. The very idea that you can "love your job" is a modern concept. Work is supposed to be something unpleasant you do to get money to do the things you actually like doing,
I'm being a bit sarcastic here, but I've heard from too many people that punching out code all day at work makes them very hesitant to even touch a computer at home. For those who are currently computer programmers/engineers, would you say you really enjoy your job, or does it get extremely old and tedious after awhile?
I first started using computers when I was about 5-6 or so. We fortunately had in our possession an Apple II, with a green display monitor and those nice big floppy disks. I remember Mario Bros. as one of the first games I played on the computer.
The first development type stuff I did was a few years later when I used this program on the Mac called ResEdit. I used it mainly to edit pre-existing games, through hex or what not. Nothing too hardcore, but I was only like 8...gimme a break.
After using a computer for many years, I finally got a PC (with Windows 95). Lemme tell you, I was damn excited, because there were so many more games available for it. I especially wanted it so I could play the Quest for Glory series. A few years later when I was maybe 13 or 14, I started using Slackware Linux (5.0). That's when I got the Linux bug, that's when I started learning C++ and Perl. So I am forever indebted to Apple for giving me that first Apple II which introduced me to computing. Never used an Apple after that tho unfortunately.
"There are a lot of similarities with the drug war," said David Israelite, chairman of the U.S. Justice Department's Intellectual Property Task Force. "You never really are going to eliminate the problem, but what you hope to do is stop its growth."
It actually disturbs me deeply that someone in the U.S. Justice Department is admitting casually that the war on drugs is useless and a waste of lives and money.

Brin says he splurged on a new T-shirt. And he still drives a little Japanese car.
For some reason I can't see 60 Seconds including a little passage about Brin's splurging action, mentioned in the quote.
Well you are able to register and be under the team without using the software...so Linux users can join the team just to pump up the numbers but not use the program...stupid, i know, but hey I'm sure a large amount of the number is made up of that.
A common troll seen every time John Carmack's name is brought up. However let's not bring Albert Einstein into the equation. Of course an amazing individual, however when we are talking about someone doomin society, Einstein did make it possible to create the atomic bomb.
I am very pleased at NVIDIA myself. As much as I would love for NVIDIA to open source their drivers, I am just grateful that this corporation is actually spitting out working drivers for their motherboard chipsets and graphics cards. I would much much rather have closed source nvidia drivers then even deal with ATi in Linux.
NVIDIA does have alot of third party extensions and other third party IP in their code...so if they open sourced that it would piss off alot of other companies.
Needless to say, I hope one day they can provide a nice driver that doesn't taint the kernel, however I am grateful that they are actually giving us something that is fully functional in Linux (x86, AMD-64) and FreeBSD.
I'm not to sure how one would port Direct3D to linux. When you install DirectX in Windows, it becomes directly integrated with the OS itself. This is why its extremely difficult if not utterly impossible to uninstall DirectX in Windows. I'm not too sure how one would port a program that is designed to integrate itself with a Windows OS to Linux. Plus its not open source for any random geek to come around and port it. Windows has the source, so they could port it...however it wouldn't make any sense economically for them to do that.
When those electrical signals themselves are materials that have been illegally obtained and are being made available against the author's (or whomever holds the rights to the material) wishes, I don't think its that far out of an idea for some sort of punishment to result from that. Sometimes the Internet seems like a separate reality to people because you are dealing with names on a screen, or just basic transmission of packets via TCP/IP protocols which makes it seems not real at all. But it is real, and providing a movie to thousands is the same as copying a video tape 1000 times and handing it out to 1000 people.
Anyway, lots of things have more jail time than they should. Or perhaps rape just doesn't have enough jail time. Most people would agree that selling alot of pot isn't anywhere near as bad as rape. The same applies to sharing movies, the MPAA is just having a field day lobbying congress to put a penalty on the crime strict enough that it might magically stop file sharing.
Well I guess the only logical explanation appears to be that 1741 members signed up, but never actually ran the program. And of course some of the original 79 stopped doing it. Oh well.
Something being cheap is a very important factor in the sales side of things. If I can produce something that works as well as something else for much cheaper, then I can sell that product for a price that would cause people to buy my product over the competitor.
So, it being transparent causes it to look "cool" and also be "cheap". win win situation my friend....

Personally, I think NVIDIA's Nalu and fairy girl (forget her name) are much hotter. I'd like to see some real life representations of that.
