    donation ideas?

    I was looking for some good ideas for donations. I know there are lots of good foundations but was wondering if there where any more down home type ideas. I remember a couple years ago there was a request put on here for donations for a kid (I think he had MS) who had his xbox stolen. Everyone...

    Crazy markets

    This -500, +300, -400, -400, +900 is just not normal. I know the economy is up in the air but do you guys think that our over exposure to news/data is a major cause for the craziness? I haven't really watched the news for years now and I just get info by going to yahoo and reading headlines. It...

    Crazy thoughts

    So I'm reading a book called What We Believe But Cannot Prove. So far it's mostly a book on how we aren't alone in the universe...there has to be other life forms, livable planets, etc.... So it got me thinking about God and all that other type stuff. Now working in a science field it is normal...

    Comic book suggestions?

    OK so I haven't read any comics for at least 10 years. I was on bbzzdd last night and saw a couple thor comics in the top 25 (Cleeek). It perked my interest to read a comic again. Any suggestions? I'd try and get that Thor 3 one on bbzzdd but I'm pretty positive that if I go into the comic store...

    Car busted (piston shot out the side of the engine)

    Ok, so I was driving on the highway and my car started to make a super loud lawnmower noise then that was followed with a loud bang, smoke, and pieces falling out of the bottom of my car. My car is 7 years old with 77k miles on it and I almost always get all work done at the dealer (it's no...

    Comcast Fiber

    I heard it through the grapevine (tech guy at my house yesterday) that Comcast is planning to roll out it's fiber to home service in 2007. He said had already taken some training classes on how to run fiber to the home. Anyone else hear anything?

    Power/Electricity question

    Ok, my understanding of power/electricity sucks. I understand how watts, amps, volts are somewhat related (ie amps=watts/volts). However that's pretty much where my understanding stops. My question is about the amount of servers being run on a power line at my co-location. Coming into the rack...

    Any FF3 owners?

    Do any of you guys have FF3 for the DS? I found that to unlock some characters you need to send messages to someone else with the game. Of course I don't know anyone else who has the game.

    PSA: Play PS3 at Target now

    So I went to go get Gears of War at Target and to my surprise they had a PS3 booth setup. I was able to play for a little while and get a feel for the system. So the output was 720P. Nothing like the 1080P I was hoping for. The controller was ok. The analog sticks are way better than the...

    Best ATI AGP with Dual Link for around $100?

    I've got a 3007wfp on the way and my 9800 pro won't do me any good to drive the 3007wfp. I don't really need the best AGP card out so something around $100 would be great. I don't really play any newer games (CS:S is the most 'demanding' game I play), nor would I even try on a 3007wfp with...

    Ahhh. Dumb probability question

    This is a really dumb question. I haven't been in school for a good number of years and I can't remember the formula for a simple probability problem. For example if I have four coins, what are the odds that at least 2 of them are tails after 1 flip of each coin. Now I know the answer is 11/16...

    Going to Orlando in May

    I'm going to Orlando with my family and was wondering what the best way to go about getting tickets for theme parks is? We'll probably go to Disney for 1-3 days and Universal for 1-2. Also do you guys think Universal is good for 2 days or is 1 enough? Is there anyway to get good deals on tickets?

    Westinghouse rocks

    Never in my life have I had such a great support experience with a "large" item product. I have the 37" LCD from them and I had some vertical banding issues (display is about 6 months old). The banding issues didn't prevent me from watching tv, they where just a little distracating at various...

    What to do?

    So I have a co-worker who sends a "request receipt" on all the mail he sends. He refuses to turn it off even though it's completely pointless and annoying. I think it's time for me to annoy him just as much. Now I've written a rule using the VB Editor in Outlook that determines the mail is from...

It had a google map of a specific users trip and it showed the restaurants they went to while traveling. I...

    ipod now or wait?

    I know I'm going to buy an ipod it's just a matter of when really. I don't currently own an ipod but I want to get one. The only reason I want to wait is because I would like to get an 80GB version of an ipod. However I have no idea if/when Apple will release an 80GB version. I don't care about...

    Antiderivative formula?

    Ok, for some reason calc came to my head and I remembered how to do derivatives but not antiderivatives. I mean simple ones like x squared=1/3xcubed I can just do in my head but I can't remember how to do hard ones. I know there is some relatively simple formula to get the harder ones but I...
