One tenth of an ounce of gold costs $175? Is gold that expensive or has the dollar shrunken that much?

[cloasters]

Thanks to the sleight of hand of creating the "Federal Reserve" which is a coalition of private bankers that lend our own money to us at interest what's left of the 1913 dollar is smaller than a postage stamp.

[cloasters]

And dollar bills used to be sized larger.

The slothful pig returns from a lapse of better judgement, or something like that. My faithful home built AMD machine died, and I bought the second pre-built box ever. Good to be back!

[Daniel ~]

Good to see you George! How do you like your new box? what did you go with?

New Windoze come with? ...Good to see you back":O}

[cloasters]

It's even better to see you on the board, Dan! I bought a Lenovo 3 Ghz i5 12 Gb RAM, 2 Thz HDD box. It does 3.4 Ghz on "turbo," but I haven't bothered with it. What gets me is that the PSU and chassis fans can run, but never do. Weird.
I could have rolled my own, but would have paid at least 50 extra bucks to do so. Of course my selected components would have been better quality but I was lazy and in a hurry. Can only go so long without the web!

[Daniel ~]

Not to shabby. Try Turbo, you might see some fan action! ":O}

If your going dancing ya put on dancing shoes, if you want to putter you put on your slipppers and don't worry to much about scuffing them.

"What ever gets you to the chruch on time!"

[cloasters]

Tee hee, my "slippers" are six year old Uggs, the short ones. Now that I've stopped smoking maybe my feet will be warmer come winter. We have had a very cool summer, I assume we'll see some 90F+ days to come?

[cloasters]

Yes, 64-bit Win7 came pre-installed. Silly me, I bought the version on disk to go, knowing that it's easier to just go ahead and wipe all the tons of crud that come with new store bought computers and install your own OS. Shockingly there was no ad-ware or superfluous software of any kind on the machine. Not one byte or bit. I know, I'm still in shock too!

[cloasters]

78 MS updates so far. Perhaps buying an up to date version of Win7 wasn't worth it?

[chrisbard]

As long as its working fast for you I'm happy! Silly me, how else would be if not fast, were not talkung linucs slowness here! Hahahahaha...

I loaded SETI@home to find out if the fans run at 100% CPU use and 90F. They do, yay. But not like the hurricanes of yesteryear, sigh. Stopping and removing SETI@home was very difficult, it took about one hour of frustration. I can't recommend the program as a proc heater. Linux isn't slow, and can I have a Chrisbard case badge, please?

[cloasters]

No Chrisbard case badge? Don't tell me they're spurious? That's OK, the moon I wasn't expecting.

[cloasters]

Official AOA case badges are still available. Simply send me a PM, it's that easy!

[cloasters]

And they're as FREE as the wind. Just ask for one via Private Message to me. I'll throw in postage and handling for free today!

[chrisbard]

MArs sounds better, no gov yet for Mars!

[cloasters]

What, no government for Mars? Yet. That's awful! Martians must feel terribly lonely and un-regimented.

Yes you can, chop my head of this pic and print it in colour!

Notice how the photo isn't quite good enough for International Classification and Correlation? You know, blood type, credit rating, iris ID, criminal record or lack thereof, security pigeonhole, does or doesn't pay taxes with a smile? Like that there.
Perhaps we could posit that momma didn't raise no dummy?

New keyboard is a short stroke affair with one important feature missing. A large, backward "L" shaped "Enter" key. This makes improper typing technique more difficult. Progress?
