    Terms we use in America that don't make sense

    All of the Hospitals I've seen call it the ER. You've never heard the term ER used by anyone in the field? *shrug* I have. I don't think it's all that local of a term either considering there's a well known show named after it... nbc.com/ER

    YAWT- Sudden headache during workout

    Excellent, so it is fairly common, and I'll probably be fine if I just take it easy for a little while and be careful not to exert myself quite like I did... hopefully. I'll update if I die from an aneurysm or something. Thanks guys :D

    YAWT- Sudden headache during workout

    This was actually in my apartment, and it wasn't too hot, relatively mild I'd say. I'm guessing you thought heatstroke or something? Hm....

    YAWT- Sudden headache during workout

    Last night during my workout, doing some pull-ups, I sort of overexerted myself during one of them. I think I held my breath or something stupid like that or didn't have enough water in me or something, but all of a sudden I get a headache in my left temple. It was pretty bad, and I just did a...

    How do you pronounce Acura?

    I think you would use: 'a' + 'kyu' + 'ra'

    Job Test/Initial Interview in So. CA

    My only out of state initial job interview put me up in a hotel and gave me meal vouchers. They offered to fly me down to them, too, but it was only a 4 hour drive, so I stopped and saw some of my out of state friends on the way back home. They reimbursed me for the mileage, too.

    Is it weird to sleep (non sexually) with females who aren't your GF? (UPDATED)

    I met a guy at my old job who mentioned that there was one girl (maybe more, i don't know) who would sleep in his bed occasionally as a cuddle buddy, but said he didn't get any action from her. He said he was basically being used as emotional support. I think that girl had a boyfriend, too...

    Which Ear Canal Headphones?

    I just ordered a pair of Sennheiser HD-205's, and I'll see how they sound on monday when they arrive. and I've heard great things about AKG K 81 DJ's. But I don't think either of those fold up much, and neither of them vibrate (I think that's what your Panasonics did?), but they do come...

    YART

    I'm not religious and I don't care... Not about what other people believe or don't believe in, or argue about. I don't even know whether I'd be considered agnostic or an atheist. In fact, I can't believe I'm posting, this takes way too much effort and thought about what I believe in, and I...

    Tea is good for you, but skip the milk

    This study isn't very convincing, but still, I drink my tea plain. Iced, hot, green, herbal, black, oolong, white, whatever. Sugar/honey/milk often ruins the flavor (loose leaf tea is the totally the best, btw). Lemon is good in a normal black iced tea. Chai is the only tea that I drink with...

    *HOT* Acer Aspire Athlon 64 Desktop PC 1GB 250GB XPmedia at Circuit City for $190 or $310 w/ NO REBATE...

    This seems really hot to me -- a friend of mine wants a cheap PC and this would be perfect for him (he's not all that tech savvy). Here's the question though, how do you return the monitor for the full price? Won't they see on your receipt that you've gotten the combo deal, and not give you...

    WARM Deal @ Best Buy stores

    The deap pixel policy is great, which I think helps this deal be worth it if you want a 19inch widescreen for cheap. As for brands though, is there really much of a difference between the low-quality monitors? All monitors for under... say... $300 (some dells can be this cheap) can't...

    **DEAD** 2x1GB Kingston ValueRam DDR2-667 CL5 *$131.68+shipping*

    http://www.monkeycircuit.com/itemdesc.asp?ic=MEM-KNG-2G67RK&source=G2 Looks legit, but I've never ordered from there. The price on that ram is (IMO) hot -- even if it is slow... maybe it'll run at tighter timings anyways? -------------------------------------------- That changed quick...

    x1950pro finally at $199 [pcie]

    According to Anandtech's review, it sits somewhere above the 7900GS, above/around the 7900GT, above/around the 1900gt, and below the 1900xt 256mb. The more I think about it, I should have jumped when I saw the x1900xt 256mb for $234+shipping. Now that $34 difference is closer to $75. I'd...

    LCD Buyer's Guide

    Man you're good at replying :P I just noticed that Dell rates the 1707fpv at around 20ms... that seems like it might be rather slow for gaming (especially if they're over-estimating its abilities). My budget is simply "as cheap as possible" while still enjoying what i'm looking at. I'd...

    LCD Buyer's Guide

    Thanks for you input on the NU, xtknight. I guess that's out. Hm, how about the: LG L1752TX -- Seems like it's one of those new "High Contrast Models". Good price, too. Or the Dell 1707FPV -- That V is very important I think. Any ideas as to what sort of panel that might be? I'm...

    Excellent Deals on SilverStone Power Supplies

    For what it's worth... I ordered the Enhance 5140gh (400w version) from ewiz. The package came with a big bite taken out of the side of it and very little protection to the PSU itself. However, the PSU works flawlessly. The $12 shipping killed me though. Now I'm debating whether it's a...

    The plane takes off, 0.999... = 1, but what about...

    I understand the concepts of infinite sums/series, limits, converging/diverging functions, etc, but thanks for the link anyways. I confess it was a bit too long to read in depth at the moment... especially since i'd already gone through that stage of math long ago... and now that i'm out of...

    The plane takes off, 0.999... = 1, but what about...

    I believe that saying the Limit of ___ is 1 is the same as saying the Limit of ___ = 1. ('is' == 'equals') Correct me if I'm wrong, but what you just quoted there indeed says that .999... is equal to 1. I believe that book is saying that the notation .999...(repeating) is not a number but...

    Any thoughts on the NU L921G ? Supposedly an MVA panel with decent response time for gaming and true 8 bit color... all for what... $213? Am I missing anything there? I couldn't find any info on it anywhere in the forums... even though there's a review of it right here...

    Best bang-for-buck out of these cpu/mobo/ram combinations?

    I'm in the process of getting a new system, budget gaming, and i have no reusable mobo/cpu/ram. A friend of mine has offered me a socket 939 a8n32-sli delux mobo with 4x512mb of crucial ddr-400 cas2 ram for $130 shipped or $65 shipped, separately. Seems like a deal too good to be true, but I'm a...
