And for the record, it's the Athlon 64 3000+, not to be confused with the performance FX range which will cost over $1000 and have no distinct advantage apart from gaming. Damnit, I knew I stuffed something up. I'll fix that. :p I_F

AMD tend to run at higher temperatures as well. This depends on the processor - I'm pretty sure the 64 3000+ runs cooler than the evivalent Intel version. Running hotter, does that mean I'll need better cooling ? Cause atm both my computers are side by side and they tend to get quite...

How can you tell how much RAM a motherboard can support? I mean other than # of sticks on the board... New motherboards support a minimum of 2GB, most support 4GB, as I recall. If you're buying one that's a less than 2 years old, it'll handle 2GB of RAM at least. Also, I know I want an...

The Grandfather tapes are erased and reused as Son tapes, IIRC. I_F

Hasn't the situation in Iraq, enabled a number of US-based private companies to gain lucrative reconstruction, infrastructure etc deals though? Yes, but President Bush has presided over an enormous increase in Federal spending, pledged to do 'whatever it takes' to rebuild New Orleans, and has...

You want info on the rotating backup method? I_F

Nice thread. :) Btw, how was your holidays? I haven't had a study-free, assignment-free holiday since the year started. I had a diploma-level piano exam. More stress and about 2 days of actual relaxation. :( We start our HSC course almost immediately when we get back. Preliminaries all...

ii) 101 606 400 That's impossible. Unless you do something like number the beads so they look different. Ack. I've got the Maths in Focus textbooks. Where's the question - I'll have a look in mine and see if it has the same. I_F

Nope. I'm not religious by any means. If anything, I'm agnostic, with perhaps a touch of atheism. It still doesn't mean I can't value life. :) I_F

You're right, I don't find it hard to get over. I don't understand why you shouldn't either? Unless you know someone who was involved in it. Then I do understand. I just find it very sad when a human life is extinguished. Life is special to me, and I don't like seeing it taken away from...

ii) 7! *8! / (8! * 8!) 1/8 of a way? I_F

No, dying in a natural disaster is like dying by pure accident. You can't blame anyone for your misfortune. Dying on a battlefield or terrorist attack is entirely man made, you have someone to blame for your death....well, you're relatives do anyway. Either way, you're still dead...

EDIT: And fuck guys, it's a natural disaster, get over the fucking thing. Natural disaster or no, innocent people have lost their lives, children have lost parents, families have lost dependents, and communities have lost leaders and friends. Dying in an earthquake is no different to dying on...

Shrug. We probably should leave it there. Best stop derailing the topic and get back to waiting for a reply, I think. :) I_F

I think there's another clause with necklaces, bracelets, and the like: they can be flipped over as well. When you flip it, you halve the number of possible combinations. At least, I think that's right. Also, if there are 8 pink and 8 white, I think there'll be 8! x 8! combinations that look the...

I think San Francisco and California are about two decades overdue for a really big earthquake. I wouldn't be hoping that it'll strike, though, even if we'll see the kind of public reaction that these events deserve and Pakistan probably won't receive... Deus: Holy cow... 30,000 in Kashmir...

You tell us that President Bush is being manipulated and controlled by the neoconservatives, then you tell us he's not just a moronic puppet? If he's being controlled, wouldn't that therefore mean that he's the simple one who everyone looks and screams at whilst the real powerbrokers hide away...

18,000 people now feared dead, 41,000 injured, with those numbers probably to rise. Pakistan says at least 18,000 dead in massive quake Six times 9/11. This is insane... I_F

It isn't hard to go through your post and put in some paragraphs and correct some spelling. If I remember correctly, MoonlightSonata has told (her?) to make (her?) posts coherent. True, he did, but he did it in a much less vociferous way. I_F

Either way, it's no reason to deride her. Argue the opinions, don't make it personal. Everyone has a right to their opinion, be it moderate or fanatic, and not everyone can type well. It's just the way people are. I_F
