Dell is made form cheap parts period, it's the reason I won't look at Alien Ware as the instant Dell bought them out they became nothing more than a standard dell in a pretty case. Though I may change my mind now that the founder of Dell is back on control of the company, he actually wanted to make good computers not…

Why do you want to overclock a Mac? Don't you know Apple fanboys think they are perfect in every way and cannot be touched by another computer ever even though for the same price as a MacBook pro my Sager not only runs circles around it speed wise but also stomps it like a pebble with what it can do? Joking aside…

And this is why I prefer AMD chips, not only are the more efficient at performing multiple tasks at the same time but also are capable of using more cores within them, I always compare AMD and Intel by using a highway example, Intel is a two lane highway with a speed limit of 75mph and AMD is a six lane highway with a…

I use them but only on my hands and arms, I use them at my home because they are everywhere and I just don't care enough to sort through them all, but I mostly use them in my profession because I can't risk contamination. Sure the gloves and the lab coat go a long ways to help keep me from being exposed to the…

Ahh, I am not familiar with true crypt to be honest, mostly with Microsoft encryption, you know, that thing that if you ever reinstall your OS or put it on another computer no matter what you do you cannot get the information from it without having to go through a world of hassle.

So according to you the Spanish inquisition never happened? How about the Salem witch hunts? Being a Christian and following Christianity are two different things. But since you people want me to flood you with proof, here let me do so.

Oh I'm sorry, are you still on your rage gasm? Or are you willing to back your previous claims up? I am aware that Religions have people in them and I am also aware of the "rules" in the Bible, however the Bible is NOT Christianity, Christians may be the ones following the faith but Christianity is what they are…

The traditions of each individual celebration are made up, however the solstice is the universal marker for them to start. And I did answer your question, use google, or are you too scared of it? Would you rather I flood the next answer box with the hundreds of thousands of results ALL of which state the same thing?

One you build yourself, a subwoofer that matches closely the wattage of the A/V receiver, and the right speakers for the particular area you are placing them in, for example you might want to use flat panel speakers for one set of speakers, a diaphragm speaker for the center channel, and standard combination high/low…

Not really a cheap laptop nor is it one of those generic scanners you typically see on laptops, then again this isn't your typical consumer laptop either, most people wouldn't pay what I did for a computer and what I paid is the going price for the model I have. Still, encrypting would probably work out well, except…

I've got a kessington lock and my laptop has a built in fingerprint scanner that is required to gain access to the system, not sure how much more secure other than triple encrypting my hard drive or buying a $2000 piece of software I can get.

I prefer to read them in a comfortable position and place, depending on that position and place determines my preferred method of reading, For example when I read while soaking in a hot tub I prefer a real book. In my bed I prefer an E-reader and in front of a computer I also prefer a real book. Traveling I prefer an…

I get similar reactions myself and I've never had a Facebook. It's because people think that it's new and it's hip and it's necessary when it is far from it. These are the same people who think everything new must be good and nothing old is. They fail to realize certain things stand the test of time and are popular…

A better question would be "Is Social Media useful or necessary at all in any aspect of any field or social means necessary?" And the answer is and always will be a loud resounding "NO!"

Have you ever seen Saturnalia or Yule celebrations? And funny how you can so over simplify another religion while placing your own up on a pedestal, you know that had led to entire wars, destruction of knowledge, murder of those ho defy what the church says and may many other things as well as promote ignorance and…

Proof that Yule predates Christmas by more than 1000 years, yes I do have proof of that and it is easy to come by, so easy in fact that it's funny let me introduce you to a little something, a good friend of information finders. A little something called google search. And yes, Saturn is made up, but Yule predates…

That theory is feasible and it does make sense, but kinda hard to believe when multiple sects of Christianity say that it's in the winter "to get people to stop celebrating Pagan holidays such as Yule and Saturnalia" That is what every source I've heard both historical and Christian has said.

My biggest time sink at work is fixing other peoples mistakes and doing their work for them, even when I dump it back onto them they find a way to shrug it off and go do something else while someone else has to pick up their slack. I often complain about it but they never change and I often wonder why they are not…

Except the holiday wasn't originally Christian, let me tell you a little story it is historically accurate and takes place in the times of the Roman empire when Christianity was but a small sect of people trying to gain favor and popularity, every winter there would be a huge celebrations, Many people would celebrate…

Other than not being on the 21st and burning a log you my friend just described Yule, the original winter holiday bastardized by Christians who were upset they didn't have one.
