    omg you guys :( hi i'm retarded

    Too Big to Fail, too Well-Protected to Jail This is the swindle. Now don't believe everything you hear, especially from me. Listen to yourself and you'll know what makes sense. Judging by the title and the OP's last reply, I would say that this thread needs to be euthanized...

    Which option kills the electricity bill more?

    I have a standard/perhaps old Air conditioner with a very small house. My friend just said that it would cost more to leave the AC on 78 and keep the fan on rather than leaving the AC on 73 and turning the fan off because the fan always consumes power while the AC cuts on periodically...

    More Proof that the Cost of Oil has NOT increased

    http://www.agiweb.org/workforc...-007-OilByCurrency.pdf The only thing I've noticed is that they compare the dollar and euro in terms of BBL and then they compare BBL in terms of ounces of gold. So basically flip the purple line and you'll have a better idea of where things stand (its still...

    This is the year is it supposed to go into effect. It was passed 100 - 0 in the Senate and 368 - 58 in the House (it should be noted that this idea was porked together along with tsunami relief and other things). The reason for the several delays announced is due to a good many states not...

    Question about setting up a RAID-0

    Could someone explain why hardware raid is better than software raid? What if I had got a 1X PCIe sata raid controller and put two sata2 drives on it. Each drive can be accessed up to 3Gb/s right? But the 1X PCIe lane only supports up to 5Gb/s. So basically isn't that as fast as the drives...
