    Attention all AT attorneys:

    A quick question for all barristers present -- what is the best way to prepare for the LSAT? I'm planning on taking it in October. I plan to peruse the many test manuals available at trusty Barnes & Noble, however, I have no clue where to start. Any suggestions would be very welcome!

    Opinions? on Open Box laptops

    I know this doesn't technically qualify as distributed computing (however if I buy a laptop, it will crack for TA), but I do value the opinions of those in this forum. (Except for Shuxclams. ;)) I've had my eye on a Fuji E series laptop for quite some time, and I'm in Dallas for a few days in...

    Jasc Paint Shop Pro 7 $49.00 AFTER MIR ($69 otherwise)

    I love this program and picked it up at CompUSA PM to Staples. It comes with Animation Shop 3 as well. Pretty sweet deal since I sent off for the $20 competitive upgrade rebate (since I owned *ugh* MGI Photosuite). Paint Shop Pro 7 for $49.00 all told. THAT is a sweet deal.

    Circuit City has this game priced at $44.99, but it rings up at $34.99 and has a $20 MIR rebate (at least in my area). I've picked up a couple for Christmas presents. Quite a deal, IMO.

    Radeon problems in UT/Swat 3--need advice

    UT and Swat 3 both give me colored blocks randomly spaced out on screen. The games still play, but it's annoying as hell. I can get Crimson Skies to play, no problem. I'm figuring it's the video card--more specifically a setting I've missed somewhere. Tbird 850 KT7-RAID 256MB 133 Ram Radeon...

    Cooling/temp advice needed

    Tbird 850 with std heatsink idles at about 28C according to Via Hardware mon. (on a KT7-RAID) Running RC5 it jumps up to about 45C --that's the highest I've seen it anyway (even gaming). Is this too big of a jump? Should I consider a better heatsink/fan? Any suggestions in that regard...

    Deadline for recounts will nullify those counties' votes???

    Interesting--Florida law allows for no discretion when it comes to when certification of recounts occur. If the counties do not return certification on Tuesday, those counties' votes will not count. Four heavily Democratic counties are the only ones that are manually recounting. Has Gore...

    Washington Times: Courts say NO RE-VOTE Thoughts? (link)

    Washington Times Article Seems fairly cut and dried. Confusion is not a reason to overturn an election. I think the Democrats are seriously injuring their chances in 4 years if they persist. But what do YOU think?

    www.tcwo.com $6.95 shipping / tbird 850 for $172

    I jumped at this--I'd been looking for a good deal on a Tbird for a while. I'm very impressed with their shipping policies and like the fact that their pricewatch prices are their ACTUAL prices, not something you have to comment on your order to receive. Anyone see anything better than this...
