    *NIX Rules!

    I've dabbled a bit with gentoo, but it was on odd hardware: a dual 850MHz AlphaServer. I don't think it was a good representation of gentoo. My programming intern is heavy into gentoo (he's actually on the gentoo ppc dev team) and he's been trying to talk me into migrating from redhat to...

    The thorn in Google's side...

    I think it would be great to have all text ever written searchable and in electronic format. It would be such an incredible research tool. In terms of just putting books into electronic format, Project Gutenberg (http://www.gutenberg.org/ ) has been doing this for years. They work almost...

    *NIX Rules!

    I haven't used Slowaris :) I basically eat sleep and breath Linux now. Though I still have my SCO Unixware disks laying around. I've used both Free and OpenBSD. OpenBSD is said to be solid about security, but installation and setup was a pain, and they sacrifice a lot of features (like...

    your first computer ......

    I love this game! My first computer was an Atari 600XL (http://www.old-computers.com/museum/computer.asp?c=27). Tape cassette storage, TV for a monitor, and my bought applications were all cartridges. I remember writing basic programs on it and they look forver to save to tape. It came with...

    Funny/Strange Things You Love About Your Spouse

    I love how things end up in very odd places. She'll have something in her hand and just set it down wherever when she starts doing something else. For example, one morning I found a clean nicely folded pair of socks in the dish drainer next to the kitchen sink.

    History of the Bible

    I don't know if this is the correct sub-forum for this question, I hope so. Could someone recommend some books that cover the history of the bible. I'm specifically interested in the historical context and events leading up to the canonization. -Thanks.

    CPU Temperature

    Yeah, it's the Tyan Thunder K8WE Motherboard. There's no room for water cooling on the overheating chip. This is an SLI motherboard and I have two GeForce 7800GTXs. The nForce 2050 chip sits right between the two PCIe x16 slots. The Lower graphics card actually touches the 2050 heatsink while...

    CPU Temperature

    61c is a bit hot, but it should still work. 70c tends to be the damage cut off temp for motherboards and components. If your case ambient temp is reasonable <40c, you should get a better CPU cooler (I like Zalman 'flower' style coolers). If your ambient is warm you should improve the airflow of...

    About "Day" of Creation

    The problem I have with nearly every approach I've seen to the creation story in genesis is that it is from a western scientific perspective. The original audience of genesis was the nomadic hebrew tribes. I've yet to hear a convincing argument that God was trying to teach them them about the...

    fine tuning

    One of the physical properties the OP may be refering to is the Strong Nuclear Force. This is the fundamental force that hold quarks (and thus nuclei) together. The other fundamental forces are gravity, electromagnitism and the weak nuclear force. The strong force is the strongest of the four...

    Geocaching?

    My wife and I really like geocaching. It's a great way to break up long road trips. I really enjoy urban geocaching. Ultra-micro, well camoflauged caches with lots of muggles about are fun. Some can be really hard.

    Howdy

    Hello, I'm tweaker. I just found this site, so I thought I'd sign up and read/lurk for a bit. I'm kinda shy.
