Does it translate the language too? Caus if it did, that'd be cool. It'd allow me to balance my chinese side with my white side.
Yeah, you've uncovered the real reason there's 6 audio connectors on the back panel. It outputs stereo analog sound in 6 languages so you can grap a bunch of headphones and watch with your multicultural friends in their native languages.
Well after more observation, I can only come to a conclusion that I have a somewhat clogged cooling system, maybe right at inside the turbo as coolant flows through it. Low revs the temps seem to rise, and high revs tend to drop it by about 2° or so before it stablizes. Fan turns on at 98°C and does a good job cooling it down to 92° before it shuts off. No leak last night and no collapsed upper hose. Temps drop when I engine brake down a hill
Now the question is would a normal coolant flush clear up the clogged portion, or am I looking at some exotic fluids to flush things through?
KFC: When's a good time to borrow the steam cleaner? The STi seats from Baby needs to be cleaned... luckily there's no blood on it, just dirt stains. Do you think it'll work on that suede?
Nerdco: Shanghai's gorgeous, new roads and buildings, it's a good place to visit. Since the Olympic is just around the corner, China is making their country pretty
Time to clear up a common misconception... An RRSP isn't something you can buy, it's a special type of trust account.
Money you contribute gets subtracted from your income so it results in you paying less taxes, and your investments grow tax free, but it gets taxed as income when you withdraw it from your RRSP.
Anyhow, it's a good idea to contribute to your RRSP for retirement early because it will grow tax free until you withdraw it at retirement (or perhaps some other time when you have low income) plus give you a nice tax break. Depending on your income, you basically get 20-40% of the money you contribute back as a tax refund.
Don't know if it'll work or not. You can try a small section though. You'll need to buy some cleaner fluid. It'd be best to see if it'll just come out with using hot water.
You can come by to pick it up Mon or Wed or try me on the weekend. Maybe we can all go grab higenki. Actually applebees is good too.

Hey guys! Teh kitteh is bowling for big brothers! If you can donate and pledge for me please do so! All donations are tax deductable, you can pledge for me at this site:
How did that higenki feel? More important, did it have more room than KFCs? lol
Unfortunately, even though she was too shy to say anything other than a mere whimper, she was equipped with the Anti-Groping Mobile Phone Application. <Dr. Claw>Thwarted! I'll get you next time, Gadget!</Dr. Claw>

Anyhow, looks like I've revised my case choice again for my HTPC build. I discovered the InWin BT611:
Only downside is a lack of front firewire and it's about $20 more than the case I had my eye on. On the other hand, it looks so much better and is even a bit smaller.
Well, a day and half of planning session concludes where I missed half of it due to a trouble call, and I'm brand spanking new to the team since Monday as I'm officially transferred (after what, 9 months?) It's going to be interesting to see how I rid myself of the work that I'm not supposed to bring with me (according to my manager, that's 2/3rd's of what I currently do). Judging by the e-mails flying around (or the lack of replies to some specific discussions regarding my official transfer), I sense some serious resistance and my PM being in denial, as he loses me as one of the primary resources. I think I will get to put off working the upcoming Monday night as a sign of my intentions to have nothing to do with this dragged out project of mine
Now that we're nearing completion of our next major version we're trying to come up with some ideas about how to move forward in terms of technology given that our plans to do a complete re-write seem to have been permanently axed and for at least the forseeable future we need to remain backwards compatible with our "previous" generation.
The "new" generation is really just wrapping our COM/COM+ interfaces with .NET and we need to continue to support the COM/COM+ interfaces for a while until customers migrate all their business logic from VB/COM to .NET.
For the subsequent major version we will be expected to implement visual workflow, including some sort of migration from our ancient 2-tier platform's workflow to our new workflow on our aging 3-tier platform. Fun stuff, since it's been investigated multiple times with the conclusion that it's not really doable, or at least not in a way that will work well. Heck, we haven't figured out how to implement workflow, nevermind migration. Of course I'm sure it's been communicated to our customers that we will provide these features.

Posted from my Gutsy install on my new work laptop... although I think I still need to blow it away one more time as I only have 4GB allocated for / when I want to run a 2GB VM and I only have 1.6GB left. I don't see myself installing too much apps here so I wonder how small I can get away with and leave the rest for data (besides the 30GB XP host that I will try to run as VM, on a 80GB drive that really has 80 billion bytes)

you can always put stuff onto your Windoze partition.
How do you like Gutsy on your laptop? I should back up all my crap on my work laptop and partition it and put Linux on one parition. I find linux to be pretty memory efficient. I've got 1G of RAM on my desktop Linux box. It NEVER uses the swap partition! I had about 3-4 big apps open, including browser, GIMP, Cinellera (a video editing program), my TV app too.
yeah, linux is pretty efficient in memory.. just don't use wine. It really slows down your machine.
I'm running Gutsy on my lappy as well, with XP on a VM with 10Gb of space. I needed to keep it to have VisualStudio 2008 :| That is a pig, it's 4Gb fully installed :|

My only complaint 'bout Linux is it's PPC processor support. No youtube for you! Flash support sucks - curse you Adobe! You produce plug-ins for PC's running Linux, but not PPCs. Then again, how many people use Linux on a PPC processor computer?
I'd love to grap one of those UMPC - Ultra Mobile PC's like the Asus EEE - which runs on Linux BTW - since most of my "computer" stuff @ home is basically surfing. I'd still keep my desktop downstairs to do any big heavy work stuff like image/video editing.
All but one computer @ my house is ISN'T running Linux - and that's my wife's notebook! Linksys routers, both runnin Linux. nslu2 network drive/print server - running Linux. Desktop - Linux. iBook - Linux.
Call me cheap - I don't like paying for software.
Aparently, there's something called MOL - Mac On Linux - for PPC Macs. It supposedly allows you to natively run MacOS software within Linux, kind of like an emulator, but not an emulator because it's executing native PPC code on the processor!
I couldn't get it to work. It runs, however whenever I try to install OS9, it says it doesn't recognize the CDROM disc.
Well, I try not to have any data in the main Windoze partition, so that the next time around when they come replace my laptop (if I'm still here in 4yrs or so), I don't have to dig around to backup my data.
Gutsy is great except for one package - libpanel-applet2. If I update it, I get a blank desktop because everything seems to segfault. I have a swap as big as my RAM to allow for hibernation, and have encrypted the whole Linux partition (/boot is unencrypted on another partition). I don't like to pay for software either
I put Stef's old P4 on Craig's List and got the following response:

Hi,
I am interested in buying your computer. Is this internet ready? what is your bottom price?
Thnaks
Ike
After wondering what "internet ready" meant and saying it includes a network adapter which can be used to connect router/modem if you have a high speed internet connection, and I can include a dial-up modem but have no way to test it, I realized my response should have been: "Yes, the computer is Internet ready, but I don't think you are Internet ready."
Weird - tried updating that package again and this time around, no segfault - even tried using the wireless and no segfault (at work anyways). Will try at home to see if the segfaults are really gone but now the package manager doesn't have the GPG keys to verify the packages or the package store so it complains everytime I tried to install a package that it's not authenticated. Dual-head works although if I want my desktop effects, I have to stack the laptop screen and external LCD in vertical fashion (instead of horizontal) to stay below the 2048x2048 texture resolution limit
