  1. That's what I was thinking. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x-CrNlilZho
  2. Looks like I'm in second place! Sorry about that chevysoldier.
  3. I think you should check the battery.
  4. The folding contribution from the graphics card is so large that the other contributions seem negligible, but I might look into it anyway.
  5. Coincidentally, Apple quietly released new MacBooks today? Nice machine, glws.
  6. Thanks to everyone for your input. I switched the quadcore's folding to the graphics card. After watching the folding progress from the graphics card, I disabled folding from the old experimental machine. As soon as I raise my personal team score to something beyond pathetic, I'll switch to the Ohio-Riders team.
  7. My car could have easily dusted this guys car, I figured I'd let him pass me and then when he slows down back to normal speed I'd do a normal pass with a thumbs up or something. Unfortunately, he disappointed me by immediately exiting.
  8. I don't bother with insurance, it's cheaper as long as nothing bad happens.
  9. I wonder how many people put saddlebags and trunks filled with weights on their bikes to counteract these faulty traffic signals? :-)
  10. Just this weekend I pulled over to the far left lane to pass some dude in the middle lane, going about 70, and as soon as I sped up a little and could see his front bumper in my passenger side mirror he sped up. Then I realized that he was racing or something, so I stayed in the left lane until he passed. After he got the satisfaction of winning "the race" he swerved over in between people in the slow lane and exited.
  11. I have my normal computer running Windows Vista 64 and it's running Folding@home in the background. It only uses 1 core's worth on my quad-core. I have an old computer (Pentium 4) that I sanitized and installed Ubuntu on, and started it folding on my team. This thing is turning out work units left and right, and is making my progress on the Phenom quad-core seem mediocre. I was thinking about making a Linux virtual machine on the quad-core and having it fold just to see how it compares. Just thought I'd put this information out there for any competitive folders. It might be beneficial to run the folding in Linux to get more out of your spare cycles.

    It works for boats.
  13. You can send the iPod back to Apple for a battery replacement. I guess they don't necessarily send you back the one you sent, so there's a chance that you'll get one in better shape. It's $59, so it won't be as cheap as the other solutions, but if your iPod is in terrible shape it's worth a shot. http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/service/prices/#us
  14. The DSB 1125R on http://www.erikbuellracing.com/motorcycles/1125R/ is $15,900. I'd expect them to have a street bike in that price range.
  15. This would be handy for texting while riding.
  16. Hope everything important was backed up. If you did lose a lot of important documents, sorry for your loss.
  17. He should have got it up to 70 and hit the ramp and parachuted down once the bike started falling. That would have been cool.
