This is crazy, like a chistmas sale vol 2.
Great find.

I imagine this is in place of laptops? If so, it is probably a cheaper alternative.
Full blown laptops? Sure. Laptops/netbooks with the same or more functionality than an Ipad? Not really.

I think part of the problem for me is that I can't think of anything we could do to the North Koreans which would be worse than what is already happening to the poor bastards.
True, but we shouldn't focus on Korea as a whole and more on Kim Jong. Take out the head and ensure that the proper succession follows.
Yeah, we're really good at that.

Why does everyone think that a galactic collision is like two solid objects hitting each other? That's not what happens....
Yarp. The galaxies interact gravitationally, but stars/planets are unlikely to collide due to the vast distance between them.

Specifically, I have an old laptop HD, and two old regular HDs. I want to be able to access them and use them as storage for DVRing on my current PC. This is what I've found online. Will this do the trick with little hassle?

Any other suggestions?
Arkan, that adapter will work fine for desktop IDE drives. I've used adapters like that one for a few years. For the laptop drive however, you will need to add this adapter in addition to the one that you have...

This will give you the ability to power the laptop drive that the other adapter does not allow. There are other simple adapters for SATA drives as well and all of them are cheap.
**Edit** I see that the adapter you picked does adapt to SATA as well. It might also power a laptop drive as well. Certainly won't be a waste of money to try it. The worst you will have to do is buy the adapter that I listed.
Yup. I got it, it hooks up to lappy drives, and it works like a charm!

Add another to the Community bandwagon.
I also like Modern Family and Parks and Recreation.
I can't wait until It's Always Sunny starts back up in September!

In my experience, internal cards seem to have better reliability overall, but that micro USB one looks swank.

Among the features I've already disabled are Aero (seriously, who the **** uses this?),
Seriously, I ****ing do.
I have no problems with Windows 7, so I don't think it's a bit of a *****. If you disable everything that makes 7 different from XP, then WHY get 7 in the first place?

7 64 bit has run flawlessly on my computer. 32 bit, too, on two other computers.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Same_color_illusion
Bullcrap. That's messed up. Like even after knowing it's an illusion I simply can't tell the difference without the rectangle drawn.
I can tell by unfocusing my eyes. The color of the squares A and B appear the same. Not sure why that is.

Dammit. Anytime somebody mentions the Lips, I end up with "She Don't Use Jelly" stuck in my head for the rest of the day.
For me it's either "Do You Realize" or "Racing for the Prize."
Great band.

What about a knife?
You can run faster with a knife.

Forget Spellforce 1, is Spellforce 2 really any good? I've had a copy of it lying around for a while now....

I'm confused. What kind of government is Chuck Norris?
A Chuck Nocracy.
Not to be confused with a Chuck Rockracy.

Wouldn't complete lack of socalism be like Rapture from Bioshock? Every man for himself?

The N900 is an amazing phone and I strongly recommend it over the iPhone or Android (including Nexus One). I am so pleased and happy with the one I bought. It has a touchscreen, stylus, QWERTY keyboard, high-pixel density screen, Debian-based operating system, 3 processors (sound/calls, CPU, graphics) has complete multitasking (usually without any slowdown) a full Firefox based browser (not a mobile version, a full 800 by 480 resolution browser) with the latest version of desktop Flash. You can tether freely too. Also, because it is Debian-based, a lot of Ubuntu and Debian programmes have been ported, including Debian itself (you can install Debian as an app and get access to Debian packages like OpenOffice).
But ignoring all that extra Linux stuff, it's just a plain user-friendly and simple phone as well.
What kind of file system does it have?

I find it funny that all the news clowns are in a snit over the "palm" cliffnotes yet say nothing when Obama uses a teleprompter to give a 2000 word pep talk to a bunch of middle school kids. Ever heard Obama off teleprompter? He makes George W Bush sound coherent. Bush almost never used one.
But then you have to be able to read to get much good from them.
If you don't see the difference between using a teleprompter for speeches and needing crib notes written on a hand to help you through pre-selected questions then that's just sad.
Obama did just fine a couple Saturdays ago when he did a Q&A with Republicans with no teleprompter.
And FWIW, Obama didn't use the teleprompter with the 6th grade students.

Windows Phone 7 to drop multitasking?
Windows Phone 7 to drop multitasking?Windows Phone 7 may be deliberate step backwards
Microsoft may consciously limit Windows Phone 7 in its attempt to compete against Apple, a leak sent out today claims. Echoing some previous reports, a source says WP7 will have a Zune-like interface at many levels but goes on to say this will extend to the underlying framework as well. It would drop multitasking and instead pause apps, using an iPhone-like push notification system to handle new updates.
The revamp would also be less open as a whole than Windows Mobile 6. Hardware makers like HTC would not have the option of modifying the home screen with their own interfaces, such as TouchFLO. Apps would also have to go through a "service based delivery" system such as Windows Marketplace to install, reversing a years-old ability to download apps through the browser or other sources. A broad file system would be dropped in favor of a centralized but simpler storage area.
WP7 would use the Zune HD interface wholesale for media playback but would actually have a significant amount of Xbox Live compatibility. It would not only tap into the social network but would support XNA app programming that would let developers write games using the same code they use for Xbox 360 games, although touch input and resolution would mean having to write different versions. Again, Windows Mobile apps wouldn't be backwards compatible but would have a similar enough code base to port some titles over.
Microsoft's ambitions for the web experience would allegedly be another mixture of steps forward and back. The company is consciously aiming to beat the iPhone 3G in speed and accuracy but isn't yet certain if it would beat the several months old iPhone 3GS. Flash and Silverlight would be limited to the out-of-browser environment even though both should be part of Windows Mobile in the first half of the year.
Hardware would be available in September and should have a fast-track development cycle, according to the source. Since Microsoft would provide the drivers, third parties could not only ship phones faster but would finally have fast, over-the-air updates. Windows Mobile has widely been criticized for a slow update model that requires carriers and hardware makers to approve and implement updates, often leading to updates only arriving several months after Microsoft updated the code.
While much of the information still isn't confirmed, it corroborates previous rumors and hints at an unusual regressive strategy when trying to compete against Android, Apple and other more modern platforms. The design appears targeted at media-heavy phones like some Android devices and the iPhone but would, if true, eliminate some of the key advantages that Microsoft has claimed for Windows Mobile. Android and webOS already have true, simplified multitasking systems and allow users to download apps outside of traditional channels. Apple doesn't yet have such code but is widely expected to show off iPhone OS 4.0 as soon as this spring.
So their idea to compete with Apple is to offer FEWER features than are already available with Windows Mobile 6? For Me, multitasking and an open-ended file system is a must. This is why I've defended MS (phone-wise) ever since I started using PDA's years ago.
What option will I have when this de-evolution takes place? Simply stay with my current Touch Pro 2?
-
Uh...is there a story to these or what?
-
This seems like a ridiculous device...but I'm sure Apple will be laughing all the way to the bank with it. No camera, usb, true multitasking, and you have to have addons that you purchase seperately just to get it as functional as any device currently on the market. What DOES it do? Has a big screen? Whoopie...

We'll see if they handle it better than they did with BG1 to BG2, or BG2 to NWN (hah!). I mean...they have to, right?....RIGHT?

I just saw it yesterday in 3D. It was pretty awesome, overall. Yes, the "message" was pretty obvious, but it didn't really interfere with my enjoyment of the movie.
My question: What's up with the floating mountains? Gravity effect from the planet (I assume Pandora is actually a moon)?
It's hot

It's been like 90F here for two weeks straight, with added high humidity levels. It's been terrible.
