    Cheap RAID1?

    there are probably cheaper internal solutions. is this a laptop or a desktop you are trying to protect? also, how big is your current drive (is 400gb your data size or your hard drive size)?

    Whats your life goal?

    i would just like to be able to retire to my own little private island watching bikini clad girls playing beach volleyball as i relax in my recliner under an umbrella with my personal bartender carlos asking me in english, but with a distinguished spanish accent, "Another pina colada, sir?"

    Which Day do you Prefer?

    I too have a Mon-Fri job and have the most free time on the weekends. I picked Sat over Sun only because more things are open on Sat... banks, bars, etc. Now as for which day I like the least: Thur. I never could get the hang of Thur.

    Last Meal

    yes, diamonds would be good too. ask that you be cremated and the remains be passed on to your favourite charity. :) (or the wife and kids if they are your fav charity)

    Last Meal

    last meal... money is no object... ultimate surf and turf: The tenderest part of some endangered species of animal barbequed to perfection with an equally rare crustacean. preferably something that if it's not prepared by one of three exceptional world reknowned chefs it could kill you (not like...

    merry christmas

    in this age of political correctness, i will remain bold and say, "Merry Christmas and happy new year" to you all (Christians and non-Christians alike.) i think people can be over-sensitive to religious suggestions sometimes, so as a not-so-overly-devout Christian i would like to set an...

    Economic meltdown

    Causes: 1-Subprime mortgages - and bad credit in general 2-High energy prices - over consumption, under production and something about bombing oil producing countries 3-Labour cost disparity - manufacturing growth in China (transferred from NA) and our acceptance of cheap good with little or...

    Do you think Obama will be a good president?

    No... and I don't think he's expected to be. It is very easy for him to surround himself with a cabinet far more experienced than him, because his experience is so lacking. He is a populist succeeding a very unpopular president, and he is bound to do the popular thing. However, he will be...

    Did Obama buy his Election?

    sorry for the brevity of this post (just one line), i guess i felt more was implied than said. obama ran a broad based grassroots campaign that generated a lot of interest and got him lots of donations. that isn't buying an election. ross perot on the other hand... (but then, he failed) from...

    Favourite Star Trek Captain

    Mrs Columbo... Eeeww! Even a cyborg supermodel squirming on an operating table in a skin tight bodysuit couldn't get me to become a regular of the series. ;) DS9 even had to use Tribbles and a holodek baseball game vs Vulcans to make it interesting (Klingons would have kicked butt, but...

    Favourite Star Trek Captain

    Picard had the best character history and development. When we first see him at Far Point he's already old and bald, a child-hater, self-righteous, authoritarian and downright cold. But by the time he's recovering from Borg assimilation in France with his nephew, he's sympathetic, objective and...

    this is normal... but my general policy with windows is, when in doubt, reinstall. ;)

    McCAIN Vs. Obama

    very easily, by sending jobs to China there is less economic activity to tax to pay for the military machine used to execute the war. military spending can be an economic stimulus, but loss of men is loss of manpower. sdi worked brilliantly because there was no loss of manpower and the bogus...

    McCAIN Vs. Obama

    War is not bringing on this recession, the growth of China into an industrial power and our acceptance of their underpriced goods is. However, events of the last two days are going to throw a serious wrench into election predictions... all bets are off.

    McCAIN Vs. Obama

    A Canadian perspective: McCain is going to win... sorry all you dreamers out there. Americans are very conservative and American conservatives believe in top-down leadership. A change at the top, is a change of administration. All Republicans, even Republicans who are unhappy with Bush Jr...

    Science evolving into Religion?

    intelligent life is a paradox, or at best a pseudonym. science, and by extension the scientific method, leads us to the conclusion that in the beginning the universe was lifeless, but cannot explain how the universe was created in lifelessness. religion in general on the other hand gives...

    I am losing it..

    sorry for the delay, my friend couldn't find the recipe he used but suggested these: lentil soup 1 cup lentils [ orange or green your choice] steep in hot water half an hour after cleaning then add to stock. 1 leek clean well as dirt or soil gets inside. 1 onion 1/4 turnip, 6 potatoes-3diced...
