    regarding your first para, I'd say thats a good thing, when dell sells these mem sticks they usually charge you around 100 USD for 512MB (take off 256MB of memory from a configuration, its less 50USD) So I'd rather buy memory myself and put it in the box,

    ...Financially we've come out of the Clinton recession... HAHAHAHAHA oh wait you were serious. Technologically things have improved over the past 6 years...

    no amphenol is def harder, the difference is the resistence, with amphenol you are not sure if you hit the edge or if you got it in till you see it bend, with 3m there is a HUGE resistance difference.

    Third that, I've got a ... BOOK seriously get your freshmen year Chem book (using it right now) and prop it under the back rubber stubs of the lappy and bam you've got yourself a pretty good air system. Also I have to say that the laptop is not the best thing to use when it comes to game play, just get a freakin desktop.

  12. Nintendo Revolution Rumor on Yet More 360 Details · · Score: 2, Interesting

    What I dont understand is why isnt Nintendo releasing any of their revolution tech specs as leaked. The obvious advantage is ofcourse that people will go 'hmm Revolution looks cooler than xbox369 do I want to use this pretty cool console or should I wait till couple of years and get a really kickass console'

  14. Re:That's all good, but.. on Modded Hybrid Cars Get Up to 250 MPG · · Score: 1

    This is all true in theory. But in practice its a whole different ballgame, unless you live in alaska or something. The efficiency of engines drop a lot due to things like knocking etc. the theoretical efficiency is supposed to be 35% or thereabouts, but in reality one only gets anywhere from 15%-30% depending on how modern the car is/where it runs/how its run etc. I was talking about the ICE in a car btw.

  15. Re:That's all good, but.. on Modded Hybrid Cars Get Up to 250 MPG · · Score: 1

    see the thing is our internal combustion engine is an extremely inefficent piece of tech. (if you can call it that) by making most of the inefficiency and pollution gather at one place (the power plant) you can better control it and reduce it.

No, you didnt totally wasted your money, you can return it. Dont worry, it's okay, you can totally get the same kind of program for free on linux! You just have to download it and install it. Just click on system->Administartion->Synaptic Content Manager Ok, now put in your password, that I told you, yes the one on the sticky pad. now click on search and put in GNUcash. now click on it and mark for installation. Okay done? Good. What? yes grandma all those extra stuff that it will add are free too. Now just press apply. All done? Yes Grandma that was fast.

  23. Re:Excellent news on Big Retailers Timid About Selling Linux Boxen · · Score: 1

    Not anymore, all those things that you described are not required anymore. You only have to know what a partition is if you want to dual boot, and since these things come preinstalled that doesnt matter. Most end-user friendly linux distros dont even use the word root (unless you are using a terminal) they generally use something like admin or similar. Package dependencies are a thing of the past if you are using things like Synaptic, Yurpi etc.

  24. Re:Oh, the Irony! on Spyware Floods in Through BitTorrent · · Score: 0, Troll

    Another option is to get a userfriendly linux distro and boot into that and then dont even touch windows. There is a website at http://distrowatch.com/ that gives steps for doing this.

    P.S IMHO ubuntu is pretty darn userfriendly, but some people dont like others mentioning that name, so therefore I shall refer to it as the u-distro.
