In fact I think I'll set up a honeypot just for them. Bastards got 4 years of my life, they're NOT welcome to the contents of my computer. Like you said, it is illegal for them to do so, and whatever lawless nutcake Colonel that thought up this outrage should be court-martialed and sent to Leavenworth. There fixed that for you.
USP Leavenworth is frequently confused with the United States Disciplinary Barracks at Fort Leavenworth, the maximum-security, penal facility of the United States Military. In fact the two facilities are unrelated institutions.
They haven't. I have a Lenovo T61. It looks similar to my old T41 IBM. The difference is that it has a smaller footprint, wider screen and it's a lot faster (Core 2 Duo, 2 GB ram vs Pentium M, 512MB).
I had an xbox 360 that was manufactured in 2005 (xmas gift 2006). It died about 6 months after. I had my 360 return experience of me shipping my xbox to them, the workers in receiving shaking the box and sending it back to me, and then me shipping it back to them. Long story short, the second time around, they shipped me a brand new xbox. In the meantime of waiting, I bought a xbox elite. I sold the new one that they send to me to a co-worker.
I wiped the hard drive because without a transfer cable, you don't get your old content back.
I was looking around in the xbox marketplace when I noticed you could look up everything you ever downloaded. From this screen, I re downloaded everything that I thought I would never get back, 2 or 3 episodes of Reno 911, a few arcade games, etc.
This is completely inaccurate story. HTH. YMMV.
Have you tried the new version of Steam? My computer is 5 years old and runs it just fine. Try downloading the beta, it's really light weight >20mb used at a time. Just in case people don't have the link... http://steampowered.com/
You _don't_ want Comcast DVR service. The Motorola boxes that they give you are either broken (refurbished) or just refuse to work. I've gone through 4 boxes hoping to get a good one until they finally gave me 'a new one' which has HDMI connectivity where the old ones have component/rca inputs only.
Not only is 11 dollars a month a complete rip off it's criminal. Sometimes the box locks up and refuses to do anything for a few minutes and then replays all the commands you issued when it was locked up (imagine an old Microsoft Excel macro in action). If you're lucky, it will only 'stick' when you're fast forwarding or rewinding a recorded show. It will either bring you to the very beginning of the show or the very end. Stick with what you have, the grass is always greener from the other side of the fence. Speaking from that side, it's astroturf.
To answer your question specifically, you can refer to this post http://www.steampowered.com/index.php?area=news&ar chive=yes&id=691. This is part of Valve's Content Delivery system aka Steam. It would appear that you only need to purchase Half Life 2: Episode 2 which comes bundled with Portal and TF2 (Team Fortress 2).
Having said all that, you are not obligated to buy anything by setting up a Steam account. I've had a Steam account for over 4 years (early beta tester was not fun:/ ), I've had my fair share of frustrations with Steam but lately, it's rock solid. Valve has been done some good work with the system. In addition, if you haven't already played Half Life 2, or the original, I'd highly recommend it. I'm a firm believer in the episodic content (if implemented correctly) that Valve is testing out. I finished Episode One in about 5 hours and thoroughly enjoyed it. HTH.
The bottom line on your waterloop, in my own experience, you'll find that the order in which the water is flowing results in negligible water temperature increase/decrease.
I have two machines WC'ed, a P4 (pre-prescott) and a Dual Xeon. The order of the loop for the P4, pump/res> radiator > CPU Waterblock > GPU Waterblock > Flow Indicator > Pump.
The P4 only gets to about 90F during heavy gaming sessions (ATI X800XL). Then again, I have a triple 80MM fan radiator. Your results may and will vary.
Most of my job entails that I can handle Excel spreadsheets. Tracking money, managing accounts, building reports, etc. I learned early on that you can't always depend on what Excel spits out. More and more, I find that it acts like a scientific calculator. If you have ever done expenses or used Excel to calculate anything monetary related, you'll understand what I mean. Excel keeps track of fractions of fractions of a cent unless you tell it to round up to the nearest 100th of a cent. This is a common mistake that I've seen repeated a dozen times. I've seen quotes go out to a customer with the incorrect pricing because of someone's blind faith that the formula is calculating the correct dollar values.
However, when you actually use a real calculator and start adding and multiplying up these values, you will see how incorrect it can be. Though, technically, it is correct. If you want to prorate a 12 month price to 6 months and convert it to CAN from USD, you're going to see what I'm talking about. You'll get a unit price of 45.344632524464 and excel will happily tell you that it's only 45.34$. Have fun telling the auditors why your quote is over 10,000$ off.:o)
Why must we add _more_ to Lotus Notes? This application is so big and bloated already, is this necessary? No one uses 1-2-3 anymore anyways. Just do away with it and replace it with OpenOffice. As for Lotus Notes, I've been a strong advocate of the 'throw the code away and start from scratch.' Though, I will give somewhat of a nod to Lotus Notes 7. It's a hell of a lot more stable than 6 ever was on it's best day. Although, I still curse when the damn thing locks up when sending a big file. Would it kill them to add a progress bar to show how soon my uploading is going to be done.:/
I don't think it really matters what software you use. Either you use some spreadsheet form like MS Excel or you use Quickbooks, it matters more on your organizational skills more than anything.
If you start out with the basic structure of things, you'll be better off. First, you have two categories: Hardware/Software.
After that, you should start to break it down into more general categories. Under Hardware:
Servers
Desktops
Laptops
hard drives
networking
etc...
Under Software:
Operating System
Office Suite
Accounting
Anti-Virus
That way, when you are trying to total up your budget, you can breakdown into the specific categories and see where you can save money. On the other hand, you can see what categories are getting neglected and possibly think about spending more money on them. HTH

LOL. Coffee just came out of my nose after reading that one.
So I can put you down for volunteering then? :-)

I think you inadvertently just advertised that new Bruce Willis flick, you just forgot to include hard.
Congrats. I just spit out my coffee. ;P
