@FalconRagex: A lot of phones seem to want SIM cards to start, and most don't produce sound as good as a dedicated mp3 player (I know, the iPhone is a phone too, but Apple focussed equally on media and cellular capabilities). Most other cell phones just have media capabilities added as an afterthought (notice I…

@eagles500: If there was an open source mp3 player that had as much apps as the iPod Touch/iPhone, I'd sell my iPod Touch in an instant and move to it. Unfortunately, portable media players with open source operating systems are very rare, and therefore the developer community behind them is small.

@harei: The iPod Touch 3G /w 32GB storage was definitely not unreasonably priced. It wasn't cheap, but I wouldn't say that $250 is overly expensive.

I wish that people would make open source/freeware software to do things like this, all of the software to get around Apple's restrictions (can't sync an iPod with multiple computers, etc) are priced around the $25 range.

@acidrain69: While it's your choice how you diet, you're getting an extremely low level of calories, much lower even than the standard "Very-low-calorie diet", which is risky by itself. While you may lose weight fast on such a low calorie diet, you risk developing a range of issues from gallstones-organ damage.

MediaCoder is probably the best converter (alongside SUPER), though unfortunately it's multithreading support is still very unstable (the decode thread usually crashes when in multithreading mode), and the download servers are absolute shit, they often just time out.

@Vidicus: You've found out his secret identity! Taking bets on when you're going to turn up dead in a river ;)

@godslam: If the card's on the PCI Express bus, DDR RAM shouldn't saturate the bandwidth, though once you start venturing into DDR2 or DDR3 RAM their bandwidth exceeds the maximum that the PCIe bus can provide (unless it's connected via PCIe 2.0 x32, though most cards only use x16).

For windows (or any OS) users there is the hardware alternative where you can buy an expansion card that allows you to use RAM modules as a disk drive (you put RAM modules into the expansion card). This is arguably the best route, both performance and feature wise, just like software RAID vs hardware RAID. They're…

@Dalton63841: No, I think it was something like below -70C. Anything above 0C shouldn't cause any issues.

@jcnaquin:

This would be a great idea until your power supply shorts out.

@osbjmg: What you just said makes no sense. Moisture does not eliminate static in an area, it simply helps to conduct it. If you put water on your motherboard, it's not going to remove the electricity (the most basic physics principle: "Energy can not be destroyed."), it's simply going to provide a bridge between…

@tagno25: Those must have been some mighty strange computers you were administrating, because most computers can handle quite low temperatures, even -150C (a notable exception to this was the first AMD Phenom processors, which had a notorious "cold bug" in which they could not handle very low temperatures. This was…

@Nitesh: I was just about to say, this is a recipe for disaster. *shudders*

@Jessica Parsons: While I agree that you shouldn't keep snacking up until you go to bed, the distinction should be made that snacking frequently doesn't "disrupt" your digestion, as the digestive process requires no "rest phase" in which food shouldn't be consumed. It is also a myth that eating before bed can keep you…

Foods such as turkey have never been proven to directly influence "sleepiness'. I quote wikipedia on this:

@vonbon3000: LOL

Still trying to figure out the point of this post.

It should be kept in mind that Apathy (chronic boredom) has almost exactly the same symptoms, but the treatment is usually the opposite.
