    Looks like it just has HDMI. I wonder what kind of cables it comes with? HDMI-HDMI is not going to be much use for most of us.

    The Idiot's Guide to Foreign Countries

    I remember having a discussion with my republican friend about this about this years ago and asking him if he wasn't scared that Iraq was not ready to accept democracy, and that the place could turn into a haven for terrorists. I guess either Rumsfeld is an idiot, or I'm some sort of genius.

    40% off slightly used Herman Miller chairs

    I'm sitting on one right now at work. They're very comfortable and the mesh material allows you to breathe. Nice in this hot weather, or if your colleagues don't like the AC down too low.

    Lenovo ThinkPad T43 - Pentium M 750 - 1.86 GHz - RAM 512 MB - HD 40 GB - DVD-ROM $1,299 Free Ship

    Dells are to Thinkpads what Camaros are to BMW M3s. There's a place in the market for both. This is a very good deal on the Thinkpad - I bought a similarly spec-ed one last year for $1800.

    Java Bug? "new File(...)" deletes file?

    I doubt that's happening, at least by the code that you posted - creating a File object in itself doesn't do anything.

    Help my java instructor is an Ahole !!

    Well, if you're referring to Webshere Application Developer 5.1, it's based on Eclipse. And I agree - many coders who do both .NET and Java prefer Eclipse to VS.NET (u said VB.net but I'm assuming you meant VS.net) :P

    Excellent FREE commercial-free independent Internet radio

    to be fair, some of the channels on that site are less of the boom boom boom and more of the waaa waaaa wizzzaa wizzzaa. I like that stuff better :) http://www.di.fm is another good free channel for electronic music.

    WoW patch 1.7 is live!!!!!!

    It would be very useful, but Blizzard try to keep things as 'real world' as possible. Hence an ad-hoc meeting stone/chat channel method of forming groups for instances.

    New York Times WoW Article

    Emotional isolation is a major theme in plenty of literature all over the world, and in the USA it's very common. I think he was referring to China's socialist regime preventing oneself striking out on one's own and achieving something, but to say that it is impossible in the USA to feel like...

    List some pointers on being a good FPS gamer.

    Don't think too much. Eliminate any other visual or aural distractions, this way you'll get in 'the zone' as quickly as possible.

    mod rewrite - is it worth the performance hit?

    My company uses rewritten urls for legacy issues, but with jsp/Struts etc, there is no need for it. A single Servlet Filter or Struts Action would deal with it just as well.
