    chinese input tablet

    the software that came with it was run under windows xp home, non 64. I haven't hooked the device itself up to any of my *nix boxes, unfortunately I stepped on it. Yeah, so I may need to order another one, along with their chinese/english electronic dictionary. I'd be surprised if you could use...

    chinese input tablet

    fifthunit Fifthunit makes a bunch of chinese gadgets, led flashlights, computer stuff etc. I figured i'd try the tablet, if it didn't work, what the hey. The software is great for this thing.... it's handled any character I've thrown at it, and as a toy, using it for photoshop stuff or just...

    Southern Comfort Drinkers

    I just have to say I can't stand the stuff. Mixed, or on the rocks. The only even slightly palatable way to drink it is with lime, straight as a shot. Basically I think of soco the same way I think of Old Navy. Throwaway, bottom of the barrel liquor, at a higher price than it deserves.

    What was the problem with artic oil drilling?

    My biggest problem with drilling in ANWR is my kneejerk reaction that it is a kneejerk response. We dont' have enough oil. Lets drill for more oil. I take it as a given that oil drilling regulation is a mystery to most of the public. The problem is the wasteful legal regulation of oil, gas...

    AMD Sempron Processor 3100+ & ECS NFORCE3-A Motherboard for $80 at Outpost.com

    I got in on this deal-- its actually sitting in a box while I wait for more parts to come in the mail. I'm looking into investing in my first -REAL- power supply. I'm tired of having no-name power supplies die on me, and I dont have a huge budget. I figure I can probably spend 60-80$. I was...

    heh. any sex can be dirty, if done right. so that's it huh. I kind of expected more. you all seem like a bright motivated bunch sometimes. I know the humor factor is high around here, but apparently there's a moral outrage factor at work. If it was connected to porn, it's bad, and you got what...

    what can an individual do about evil websites

    most people are missing the point I use firefox. I honestly am not willing to go down the route of "you shouldn't have walked down that street" as the way to maintain a community. Yeah, it's a bad neighborhood, the address of the website. but that does not mean that i meant to download spyware...

    what can an individual do about evil websites

    I recently went to a website (and on my girlfriend's laptop) to download a porn movie. (it was for her, honest) When I tried to play the movie, it used a hole in windows media player to execute all its code. I'm fairly sure that this website knows about it, and is doing it purposefully. Can I...
