    North Korean Military Parade

    gsaldivar, I would love to. I will try to translate it completely if I find some time to do it. Unfortunately it is very hard to translate. Sometimes there is simply no easy expression in English that can convey the meaning of the speech (or maybe my English skill sucks). You can think it sounds...

    North Korean Military Parade

    AnitaPeterson, my upset tone in the reply did not direct to your post, but rather the video itself. If it bothered you, I apologize. That said, I think you are doing completely wrong analogy here. Well, yes, US goverment sometimes can be very good at propaganda, especially war times (or when...

    Question regarding Credit Card Frauds

    By the way, yes I sent and am keeping the *notorized* dispute documents, so I think it won't be a problem. Well, for Identity Theft, I checked the goverment sites, and basically what it means is that somebody uses your ssn, drive license, bank account, and credit card numbers as if he/she is you...

    Question regarding Credit Card Frauds

    It would be great if somebody in this board with financial expertise can advise me. I lost my wallet during the business trip to Milano, Italy in the last summer (early June 2004). Somebody stole the wallet along with some cash, American Express, Discover, Citi Debit Card (master), and Citi...

    Neat! fM Stereo Transmitter 179

    They used to let you solder SMT chips (surface mount) which is real pain without proper tools, but in new kits, they are pre-soldered. Very good kit. The kit is originally from Ramsey Electronics. You can find a lot of information (esp. reducing noise, signal boosting, etc.) at their forum...

    My 128MB player only holds ~3 hours of music (at wma@128kbps), or ~5 at best if you really push it (lower bitrates). 12 hours? you gotta be kidding. At 128kbps, 32MB only holds 32*8(Byte to bit)*1024(M to k) / 128 (kpbs) = 2048 sec or 34 min worth of music. Probably, the battery in it would...

    Hint on items at Amazon, which are "in stock soon". Do not backorder and wait them for delivered. For some odd reason, even though they claim that it's "FIRST COME FIRST SERVE", it is usually "FIRST COME LAST SERVE". Once the status is changed to "in stock" and yours has not been shipped yet...

    For all people with allergy! Hamilton Beach TrueAir HEPA Air Purifier 04162(04160) at $99.99($84.99) Amazon.com Free SH

    True. They are superb quality especially considering the price. If you have noisy computers ;), the noise from smaller models (200 sq. ft.) are non-issue. Large ones are different story. It's not high pitch noise, but rather low big whirring noise, which could be OK for some people at night.

    Koreans eat Dogs and drink Cats, French eat Horses? WTF is going on?

    As for BDwang's comment, yes, it IS quite true that their treatment to dogs (meat-dogs, so called) are FAR from humane (as you can see some of pictures in this site Korea Animal Protection Society), and that's why a lot of Korean NGOs are working on the issue. It's not limited to dogs. Just like...
