    Searching for Information

    Cannot believe nobody has mentioned Dogpile.com yet. :Q Why limit yourself to just Google, Yahoo, Ask, or many others, when you can use a Metasearch engine like Dogplie to use them all at once?

    Are MiniCoopers feminine?

    A Cooper, especially the S, fall into the catogory of a moped (or fat chick). They can be fun to ride, but you don't want your friends to see you. :D :lips: :wine:

    What do you guys think of AMD stock right now?

    Well, I have been trading AMD stock options for a few years now. Rode the calls from 18 to 35. Then turned the tables with some puts from 38 to 20. Made a killing :D If this tells you anything, I have a couple strikes set around $12, and a few more in the $9 range.

    6800 Ultra to a ATI 1950Pro

    Are you dead set on the 1950Pro? The reason I ask is because the 7800gs can be had for $160 (after $50 rebate) right now. About $60-$70 less than the 1950pro. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814143046 Yes the 1950Pro is faster, but by how much? A few percentage points...

    How does Google perform a search

    They have their own cataloged data to search from. Therefore you will get different results in say, China than you would here.
