It's mostly "can't" cook, although I've gotten a bit better -- I can cook Pad Thai, Thai Fried Rice, and Thom Yum soup pretty well, in addition to simple things like grilling a hamburger or making some eggs.

I'm not the one who brought the thread back..... Look back at the timestamps!

Well, since this was resurrected -- the archived cookbook is located here: http://web.archive.org/web/20060909115847/...e.com/cookbook/

So, the ISPs went to the North Carolina state senate and lobbied for legislation that would effectively either cripple or ban the service all together." Why bother making a better/cheaper product, when you can throw your weight around and maintain the status quo?

The Horse Whisperer was, by far, the worst film of all time.

So 1/3 of the donars are not TBD friends, but most of the donations ARE TBD... So my second statement was true -- your friends are cheap! Seriously though, good job! Come on guys, we're $1,382 short of last year's number!!! Help Rock out! CW

You should look into a netbook then -- solid state harddrive, small case, and works great.

I honestly don't understand what you people are all doing to your computers that you have components coming loose all the time. I've had a cheap Dell laptop (paid about $350 for it as a refurb), and it's worked great for 5+ years. My wife has one she's been using for about 2 years. Lenovo is MUCH better -- I have one of those in the house too, and the build quality definitely feels better (plus they have channels inside so if you spill some liquid, it routes it away from the electronics, and out the bottom of the laptop - NICE!), but I just don't understand what people around here are doing to their hardware to have such major problems all the time. Either that, or I'm the world's luckiest guy Heck, I still have a Toshiba laptop with Win95 on it, and it boots up fine... Of course the real question would be why does a household with two people have 3 laptops, 2 PCs, and 2 servers (excluding the old crap like the Win95 laptop)....?

He's ok now, right...?

Stay active, eat smaller portions. I played tennis several times a week last summer and managed to drop 20 pounds - without changing my diet very much. Like Corp said, only drink water - big help there too.

Yeah, because girls who are smart are SOOO nerdy. Like this one: http://www.di2.nu/200707/danica.jpg

So you're saying he's going to be suspended for steroid use....?

That's what I thought too.... Hopefully this works out better!

I'm worried about our first pick -- the guy looked tiny and reminded me a lot of Corey Moore. Hope I'm wrong...

The problem is that if you switch to a Mac, you'll have to re-train your entire company -- that's FAR more costly than the $700/laptop/employee. So while you'll spend less time fixing their issues, you'll spend more time explainign to them why Icon A looks different than it used to, or what the new buttons on the keyboard are for, etc, etc. Users hate change and generally can't figure it out themselves (which is strange, because I work with PhD analytical scientists - you'd think they wouldn't have those kinds of problems, but they do too!).

Don't you have any other friends? Or are they all just cheap?

Well I guess that I'm high then. I never once have to reboot my laptop while at work, running Outlook, Word, Powerpoint, Firefox, IE, and a couple dozen SSH windows. I generally have about 18 windows open all throughout the day, and it *never* locks up. *ALL* computers have issues. I manage servers for a living (UNIX - Solaris, HPUX, AIX, RedHat, SuSE, etc) - there's no such thing as a computer that never has a problem. I'd say that 95% of issues that people now attribute to Windows are either a hardware issue (incompatible, or starting to fail - there's a reason Apple refuses to let anyone easily install OSX on their own hardware), or are caused by the end user (most likely browsing to a site they shouldn't be and getting some sort of malware). Yes, PCs are more suseptible to Malware, but like was said before, it's not because they're generally more vulnerable (well, IE might be...), but because there's more things written to attack them.

That's now World at War... http://www.amazon.com/Call-Duty-World-at-W...6247&sr=8-4

Yeah, you give me a headache too.

More accurately, x86 based... AMD makes procsesors too

So now you want me to pay extra for a Mac *AND* pay extra for a Windows license....? And to answer your question -- yes, I can run OSX on a PC: http://lifehacker.com/348653/install-os-x-...acking-required But again, why would I pay for two licenses...? OSX doesn't really let me do anything that WinXP doesn't let me do...

Productivity software (Office, Premier, Photoshop, etc), sure. Games? Still not so much. Call of Duty: World at War, for example - just checked Amazon, and don't see a Mac version. If you rarely go a day without a seizure/crash, then you're either doing something wrong, or you have bad hardware - not Windows' fault. I leave my workstation on 24/7, and rarely reboot. It works just fine. Not saying the same isn't true for Macs -- but WinXP is actually very stable.

Less available software.

I don't know much about drafts, but here's one that I saw someone post -- has Buffalo taking a DE and an OT in the first round, not too shabby. http://fantasysportsdrafts.com/ViewMockDra...x?D=337&R=1
