Actually, thats how I choose the name, the very first prize I won online was a t-shirt (butt ugly, the wrong size and 3 months late, but it felt great to win) Thanks legit reviews, Apoptosis, and all for the prize. (now I wo...

first underground test with success... :roll: well sort of.....you shouldn't have a mushroom with a underground test. there were to blasts a couple hours apart and the smoke appeared even later. The seismic plots don't appear to support a nuke either which have a very specific waveform. It would be...

Don't think it was a NUKE, the US would know in seconds (satellites are monitoring them for an EMP, I'm sure) However, This is next to one of their biggest missile bases and it's very possible a large ammo dump or missle fuel storage area had a large accident. Due to extreme finanial problems many o...

Company: Corsair (???) Purpose: This is the room they use to clean dimms off (using the alcohol) before applying the heatsinks (I think this might be a temporary 're-work' area, the fan helps keep the employee halfway sober (you can't safely drink iso, but if you breath the fumes.........hoo-boy) th...

I just installed the CCC version on my Win2k machine with a 9600pro. As yet I don't see much advantage over the standard panel other than the preview mode, and not sure if I'll keep this or go back to the standard version. certainly adds alot of overhead having to add .net and the driver package is ...

Everyone was standing in line when 4 color CGA came out ...

Yes raid 0 is faster. however the failure rate (loss of all data) is more than twice that of a single same drive alone (because the single drive may be partially recoverable, with raid 0 if one drive fails NO RECOVERY IS POSSIBLE) best bet would be 2 SATA's on raid 0 and a large drive for daily back...

Get on the waiting list, by the time one is available you should have saved the $20k. My Parents got one in 02, after a 9 month wait (they ordered a '01 but toyota subsituted an 02 at the same price because they ran out of '01's, ford, Gm and toyota are all about to release hybrid SUV's which get ar...

Nope! I don't think you can assume the only contributor to case temp is the HSF. The effectivenenss of the HSF can be limited by a high case temp, which could be caused by inaddaquite case fans, a high end GPU, etc. The ability of the HSF to maintain a relitively low and unchanging delta (difference...

If you actually take the time to read the testimony Kerry gave to THE SENATE FOREIGN RELATIONS COMMITTEE, APRIL 22, 1971 (excerpts here) http://www.richmond.edu/~ebolt/history398/JohnKerryTestimony.html you would see while shocked, he placed less blame on the soldiers who testified to committing atr...

There is truth and spin to both sides. I have no doubt many atrocites occured in vietnam, some were well publisized and a few prosecuted. Kerry was wounded and recieved purple hearts on the recommendation of higher ranking officers, and was sent home after his last wounds. To blame the soldiers/ sai...
