Well, I finally bought The Orange Box, and I have to say that Portal really impressed me. I have completed all regular levels, the 6 hard levels and have unlocked all achievements except for Long Jump, Camera Shy and the 3 medal challenges [time attack, etc.]. It is addicting, and one of the...

I haven't touched Linux in over 5 years, man.

One thing I would definitely do is check Linux forums for your flavor [Redhat 9] and make sure that your hardware is compatible. I'm sure they have gotten better over time, but my main problem with Linux was hardware compatibility at the start.

My wife and I watched this again last night. The action is so much more clear at home; We saw many things that we had missed before, and we saw it in the theater twice. As for the people who do nothing but criticize this movie and Michael Bay, it is no Citizen Kane or On the Waterfront, but it...

This is related, but unrelated to the bickering here. One of the cult members I work with was telling me about how there are scientists who are on to finding the gene that links us all to Adam, and this somehow proves that the bible is true. If that were true.. ..and the bible was fact.. WHY...

In 2 weeks my wife and I will have had each of ours for 2 years. I have never had a problem. The only reason I want another phone is because I'd like to have a qwerty keyboard and some storage capacity.

Neat? Yes. Would I put it in a MkIV, or even a MkIII that was using an A340 tranny? Hell no. Not classy enough for either car.

Toyota is to Toyotas as Lexus is to Toyotas.

I don't have the game yet, but I have read a bit. I am disappointed at some of the changes they made, especially getting rid of grenades and lack of weaponry. The Medic used to be the only class with the "Super Nailgun" AND the double shotgun. With concussion grenades, regular grenades, speed...

Tried out TF:2 yet, SC?

Damn - problems already? I am going to get the Orange Box, but this worries me.

We have a cult in town. A few people I work with are followers. It follows the "G12" movement, and rakes in quite a bit of money. While talking about taxes, one guy I work with told me that he gave $8,000 to the church last year. These guys go to church on Sunday, of course, but they also go to...

That sounds a bit better than having an idiot brother with no common sense. My brother, who used to be a mechanic, ran a well maintained Saturn that had almost 300k miles, out of oil as well.

Thinking about that jump is amazing and exhilarating.

I'd try FEDLOG first. That strange number might be a PN instead of NSN.

Does your power supply fan come on? If no, replace PS. If yes, might be time to check voltage at PS commector. Do other fans come on when you push the power button? If no, replace Mobo, if yes, check CPU. That is my rough guide. If you have another computer, I'd spring for an external enclosure...

I don't think he implied that at all. Some people have standards. I don't see how people can look at Sarah Silverman and Jessica Alba, and say "I'd hit it". They are more than 5 points apart on the 1-10 scale. That's like comparing a turd to a sunset.

I'm sorry, but the first thing I did when I bought a pair of used CT-12b's was inspect, spin, and check for shaft play and clearance to housing. When you buy a used turbocharger, what are the things that people stress THE MOST? Not cleanliness, not warranty, not how shiny they are - I believe...

That scene is one of my favorites in all of movie history.

Jake - don't get 4gb of RAM if you are running XP - only do it if you are running Vista. I don't think XP can fully address 4gb... ...and you'll need 4gb in Vista to make it run close to as well as a nice XP rig with 2gb of low CAS latency RAM!:arcadefre
