Sandy Bridge is the successor to Nehalem. It uses less power and is more efficient.

The current P67 boards (LGA 1155) are for the mainstream market, e.g. Best Buy, Futureshop, Fry's, Staples, etc. They're basically "high-end' for the middle-class.

Wait until LGA 2011 comes out (successor to 1366). You'll be thinking of switching then. :)

That 50$ a year fee goes to maintaining servers and paying for XBL staff. In my opinion, I find XBL to be an overall better service than PSN.

Take a look at Corsair 700D case.

At my office, we have a digital fax machine that does not use any paper. When a fax comes in, a TIFF document is created. That means a dozen pages are neatly kept in a browseable .tiff document. No ink or paper is used. Junk fax? I just delete it.

I'm pretty sure a company like Paypal has a system like this, especially when they need to scan a barcode to classify your document (when I faxed them a signed document, a cover page with a barcode was supplied by them).

These kids need to put their minds to better use...

I've been running Exim on two servers for the past 5 years now. Never had a problem either.

WikiLeaks were collecting donations using MasterCards and VISA as forms of payment on their website, up until the two giants pulled away because they didn't want to be associated with the website.

Exactly. The real issue here are the clients. Mine are a special bunch...

Well, you're right. One thing that's adding fuel to the fire is whether my friends and relationships (which I am currently lacking) is even meaningful with my schedule. I do have a few close friends, however, that I know is solid when it comes to connection.

I've heard of some reports on 5-HTP causing cystic fibrosis. I don't take it everyday (I should have clarified). I take it about once a week on a day I know is going to be hell.

Thanks for the heads up.

Amen.

I work seven days a week, where I manage about 150+ desktops out in the field, over 150+ email accounts and several dozen mobile phones. I am also hosting high traffic websites. This may not sound like much to many people out there, but I am constantly under pressure and yes, anxiety does kick in.

Even though I work out 3 times a week (strength training) I am still under stress. My social life is a train wreck, where I rather stay in a veg out on the weekends. Mind you, I have friends and plenty of relationships with the opposite sex, but lately it's just too much for me to handle. I come home and the last thing I want to do is talk to another human being.

One thing that helps is 5-HTP. I pop 100mg in the morning and the rest of the day goes by with little worry. Sometimes, I combine it with a bit of melatonin to have a nice deep sleep (with very vivid dreams). I wake up feeling a bit more refreshed, leading to a better day.

Facebook DOES pass personally identifiable information, albeit inadvertently.

As a Facebook Ads user, I have tracked down people who have clicked my ads EASILY.

How?

Your unique Facebook user ID is passed through the refer string each and every time you click on an ad.

Simply copy down this ID and paste it in the USERID variable below.

Tada.

Google's working on cars that drive by themselves.

What the fuck is Microsoft innovating?

Facebook is just a fad...

I would like to think that true geeks learn at a quicker pace than most people, and are generally more adept at problem-solving.
