Looking to unload some old stuff that may or may not be useful to anyone. Would like to avoid Craig's and eBay if I can: Innovatek GeForce3 waterblock $2: http://bbhhs96.dyndns.org/~czakelj/images/sales/gf3water.jpg Innovatek GeForce 4 waterblock $2: http://bbhhs96.dyndns.org/~czakelj/images/sales/gf4water.jpg Innovatek Socket A (AMD Athlon 3000+ and below) waterblock $5: http://bbhhs96.dyndns.org/~czakelj/images/sales/sockaclamp.jpg Innovatek XX-Flow clamps (No Waterblock!!! I'm still using that) $1: http://bbhhs96.dyndns.org/~czakelj/images/sales/xxflowclamp.jpg Danger Den GeForce 6800 waterblock $50: http://bbhhs96.dyndns.org/~czakelj/images/sales/6800water.jpg Old-school radiator $5: http://bbhhs96.dyndns.org/~czakelj/images/sales/radiator.jpg Innovatek gear uses 10mm OD x 8mm ID tubing, which can be a bit of a pain to find (HighSpeed PC is a reliable source). The DD block is (if I remember right) either 1/2" OD x 3/8" ID, or 5/16" OD x 1/2" ID. With the exception of the DD block, I'm amenable to trades and/or bribes based on food/alcohol.

Wish I could split this off to a separate thread... - Don't know what the PATRIOT act has to do with what we've got right now. Yeah, it's a badly-written, miserably enforced piece of shit legislation, but that's got nothing to do with the present financial problems. - My dad, brother, and I are having quite a go of debating what's going on with the markets vs. the larger economy. By most metrics, the stock markets aren't particularly overvalued, and except for housing, the economy is generally strong. Large businesses are growing at healthy (but not overheated) rates, durable goods and capital expenditures are reasonable, and unemployment (this thread notwithstanding) isn't very high either. But at the same time, you've got an insane amount of commercial paper out there that nobody really knows the true value of (and needless to say, 100 cents on the dollar is head-in-the-sand optimistic), more loans will be resetting to higher rates in the next two years, and there's really no guarantee that when homeownerwannabe's start getting foreclosed on, that they won't take the rest of the economy with them. I'm still not especially pleased with world central banks dumping massive amounts of cash into the system (it reeks of spring 1929 to me, when the mega-rich of the time tried to bail themselves out), and this discount rate cut even less (it gives the head-in-the-sand crowd an excuse to go back to partying without fundamentals), but it's probably the only choice they had. Cutting the funds rate means inflation, and without economic growth to match, we may as well live the 1970s all over again.

Don't feel too bad... I need 0W-20, which apparently isn't part of the promotion.

Nevermind... did some stressing on it, and the thing just can't stay stable.

It's a dup, but I still like Metal Storm's tech the best:

I don't know, but some questions might be better left unasked

Now for your daily does of screwiness.... condoms! (Tagged NWS on the off chance someone's boss is a prude, there aren't actually any body parts on display)

Now is this 1/4mi, 1/8mi, or 0-60 in under 13? I'm pretty sure I could do 0-60, and maybe 1/8 (assuming I started with a fully charged battery), but 1/4 is almost certainly out

That the Dispatch, USA Today, or some other rag? Edit: From our friends at the Houston Chronicle: http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/business/4862013.html

I dunno, but could you claim negligence since the supposedly nuclear-proof vault couldn't even hold back some waterlogged dirt?

I dunno if even Rolla and Andy could bring this one back to life: http://www.cnn.com/2007/US/06/15/buried.classic.ap/index.html

Do you plan on getting satellite tv while you're out there? Sat based internet is reasonably quick, just high latency, so games like WoW and Everquest are out.

+1... The Spurs knew all Cleveland's got is Lebron and if they shut him down, they'd win. Boobie and Varejao might be the compliments we need in maybe two years, but right now they just don't have the experience. The teams we remember always had at least two stars... Majic and Kareem, Jordan and Pippen, Stockton and Malone, Shaq and Kobe (well, the non-whiney Kobe anyway). Give it time (and maybe a new head coach who refuses to admit a bencher was doing better than his starter), and there's the makings of some fun up north.

Humans have been losing their hair for thousands of years. Who are we to fight evolution?

SC2 shall forever be Star Control II. This Starcraft stuff is... well... long overdue

Nah... as Andy said, I bring it over to his place. Economics make buying a house a losing proposition for me right now, as my break-even point is over 7 years out. So... I've gone apeshit on the loan payments (will be paid off four years early), and once that's done, the extra 60 pounds I've been carrying around for the past six years will be the next target. Anyways, this is what Andy had to start with: http://bbhhs96.dyndns.org/~czakelj/images/2007.05.20.jpg

Sorry, don't know the Gummi Bear song. I was too busy watching Space Battleship Yamato (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LLXt9fIIsK8) and D&D (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BJ7bBkSlwLA)
