a lot of storage space, something on the order of 2TB 2TB is a single harddrive, it stopped being "a lot" a while ago now. It's quite trivial to fill this slot. Alright. I suppose I'm dating myself, I still marvel at my 1 TB external :lol: So the question comes down to; are you intending ...

I'm looking at building my own computer sometime this summer, and I'd like to have a lot of storage space, something on the order of 2TB. This is my first time building my own, so I'm not sure what direction to look in to find a good hard disc. Most of the reviews I see on NewEgg are making me a lit...

I'm a terrible economist. Please explain to me why the EU would WANT to retain Greece. What, exactly is the downside to Greece leaving, aside from the blow to prestige that comes from anyone wanting to leave at all? What is the economic downside to not being obligated to support Greece? It's essent...

I know Darth Wong has a Linux page on his personal website, but if I want to have a Linux distro as a second OS to go with Windows 7 on a computer I'll be building late this summer, which one should I look at?

e: right now Vista and Android.

I confess that I haven't looked at the issue in any sort of depth, only heard from friends who work in IT, but isn't the free version of AVG a really good security suite?

I've been looking forward to the season ever since the Lee signing was announced, and so far everyone's lived up to expectations, more or less. Nice to see Hamels have a nice bounceback game, hopefully that'll keep the trolls on WIP under the bridge for a while. I'm not really comfortable with how m...

There was no way the NFLPA was going to agree to a rookie wage scale under the current CBA, so the owners scrapped it all with the hopes of getting something better. There is nothing wrong with that line of thinking. I'll concede that. I didn't realize just how adamantly opposed Upshaw was to the s...

Further, if all of this had just been over the rookie payscale, it would already be done. The need to curb rookie contracts was one of the few things the owners and players actually agreed on, although their proposed specifics differed slightly. The real fight is over the extra revenue the owners wa...

It had been a dream of mine for years to go down to Cape Canaveral and watch the Shuttle launch, and I'm thrilled to say that I finally got to make it happen for this mission. It was absolutely incredible. This is going to sound childish, but when I was a kid I had a die-cast model of Discovery in m...

I'm with the players on the issue. The owners are the ones that opted out of the CBA, they're the ones who need to prove that changes need to be made, and they're the ones who illegally set up their TV deals to try to break the players. The offer listed on the NFL website, if accurate, does look ext...

My mistake, meant to include that.

To commemorate the final flight of the Space Shuttle Discovery, William Shatner re-recorded the voiceover to the Star Trek theme as the Discovery crew's wake-up music for today: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uNyz35TFYW4.

What an awesome thing to do

I struggled when I took a statistics course to satisfy a liberal learning requirement. English was the Professor's second language, and his command of it was a little tenuous. I don't want that to sound insensitive: having needed to try to articulate myself in a foreign country in the past, I have a...

Well, the idea of an accomplice is interesting. It makes me wonder if he was also unstable, or if the shooter was manipulated.

Has there been any other word about the Representative's condition.

I really enjoy TSO's material, and I'm not much of a Christian at this point in my life. I do like their live shows, but I think they suffer from having far too many instrumentalists onstage at the same time. Needing all of those people to sync up leaves very little room for improvisation. Their con...

I've had, really, a lot of fun with a WiiWare game called Pokémon Rumble, which sounds like a terrible knockoff property, but it's incredibly enjoyable if you can get multiple people together. There used to be a demo on the Wii Shop Channel for free, but I don't know if it's still there. I don't kno...

Sometimes my friends all get together and play GTA. I wasn't there for this one, but: My friend started off as he usually does, by running over and punching the nearest person. In this case, the lady fought back, and fought back hard . To spare the embarrassment of dying thirty seconds in by losing ...

I don't watch televised news a whole lot, but CNN did a pretty lengthy spot on this tonight.

Well, it's cleared the House, at least. Amid two hours of often angry, misinformed, and bigoted speeches from the Republican caucus, the U.S. House of Representatives this afternoon passed yet again a bill to repeal the now unconstitutional law, “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell.” The House on May 27 of this y...

Is anyone here considering for even a second that Assange might in fact be guilty of raping these two women? Or must it be the big back governments trying to frame him? That's the thing that really surprises me about this whole thing. I haven't been really following the case, but it seems like a lo...

Eagles are looking shaky right now. Bear line is severely pressuring Vick and the Bears are beating the blitz. Trouble on the horizon.

ICE issued a statement saying that they had a warrant: http://www.nytimes.com/2010/11/27/techn ... .html?_r=1

Now, as to the country's authority to seize ICANN stuff, that's another question. But the warrants were there.

Perhaps you're right, I just thought I would give the benefit of the doubt in that regard.

There's a Harry Potter club at my college, and they say that the rules of "Muggle Quidditch" say that the Snitch is 50 points in order to offset how god-awful the sport would be otherwise.
