From the time we started, they have only done better once. We are rapidly gaining on them. Winning time? sometime this summer.

Well, we're into the Critmass (sic) shopping season, Thanksgiving having drifted off in it's wonted tryptophan induced coma for another year, so some appropriate Cristmass music:

BadNick 11-28-2009 01:00 PM

I need some ideas on what to request for Christmas ...I mean other than world peace and end to hunger.

Tophat665 11-28-2009 01:03 PM

Here ya go, Nick:

Jetée 11-28-2009 03:12 PM

yeah, the boxes are just outlines for me... wow, they just loaded, and Tophat, jeez, those belong in Loaded (magazine)

Tophat665 11-28-2009 05:10 PM

Loaded? I resemble that remark good sir. I'll have you know I am sufferning under the affluence of incohol. Besideses, my Car regisitration says I should speed down the middle of the highway. See, right there at the bottom: "Tear along the dotted line."

In any case, I have not been drinking. Au contraire, I have been eating frog's legs, and what you smell on my breath are the hops. No, it is not I wqho have been tippling,l but rather this ill tuned and recalcitraitorous beastie with the iv'ry smile yonder....

BadNick 11-28-2009 06:53 PM

good idea Th...I'll get my wife a long Christmas vacation so she's not here when I open my present. She likes surprises.

Jetée 11-28-2009 06:56 PM

Here's a link I just happened to open (and like, I think); shocker, it's more photographs.
http://www.etoday.ru/2009/11/fotogra...-shoiniere.php

Post whichever two you liked the most of those featured--I've already forgotten them all.

1699.

BadNick 11-28-2009 07:21 PM

nice photo site, Jet. I wish I could read Russian better. But I liked this one

Для тех, кто с песней по жизни шагает \ Video
Немецкий концерн Volkswagen решил мотивировать людей на то чтобы больше двигаться (довольно грамотный PR-ход для автомобильной компании :). На одной из станций метро в Стокгольме они организовали музыкальную лестницу, где каждая ступенька соответствует определенной клавише фортепиано. Результат - количество людей выбирающих лестницу вместо эскалатора выросло на 66% Ура, товарищи!


UPD. Оказывается это не единственная их инициатива. Существует еще один забавный проект "самая глубокая урна" (см. ролик в продолжении поста)

Jetée 11-28-2009 07:57 PM

no kidding. If I were to hit "backspace" on my etoday page, it would come out to be the exact page you found that clip from... good finding, Nick. Concidence strikes again. 1697 I wanted to post the project in "Found on the Net", but my procrastination wiles/perfectionist being has delayed me in doing so.

What would be a good title for the video (which seems to be a volkswagen prod.)?

is this really necessary? it's sunday afternoon!! post! :mad:

BadNick 11-29-2009 10:10 AM

I slept in later than usual, had my mug of coffee and some crackers ...then I was reminded of you guys so I'm here again.

Thank you for reading my post...if you did. Here's a picture as a small token of compensation...she's quite tall, which in a sense can be considered "longest"

Ah, BadNick, you're making my old lappy go "wrrreeeeeee". :(

Installing my new Anti-Virus afte nearly a month of it telling me it's going to expire in two days.

I'll be restarting again. 1692

BadNick 11-29-2009 10:39 AM

sorry Jet. What caused the havoc?

Tophat665 11-29-2009 11:28 AM

No sure what caused it, but I know what comes of it...

just too much activity. I don't like the fan to be noticable, ie, "running hot".

I meant I'll be restarting again once I have the new AV installed, which should be around 45 minutes from now (the download is currently at 14%).

are you sure we are less than 1500 away?

BadNick 11-29-2009 12:01 PM

by my count as of 1 minute ago, we're still 1566 behind

depending on the processor load, my laptop heats up pretty good and the fan runs noticeably harder....but from people who've commented on this with long term experience, it's not a problem for this particular laptop.

In the past I've always stuck with Intel processors until I got this one, which has AMD Turion X2 Ultra Dual-Core Mobile ZM-82 2.2 GHz, 4GB RAM, 64-bit OS; it's an HP Pavilion dv7 ...I like it.

Jetée 11-29-2009 12:24 PM

I read an article on Yahoo about a week ago that most laptops only have a life expectancy of 3 years.

They said Toshiba laptops are the best with only a 16% failure rate due to hardware malfunctions, while HP notebooks are by far the worst with a 26% failure rate.

The article must have vanished into the ether, cause I can't find it again.

ring 11-29-2009 12:47 PM

My cab-driver/computer guy aquaintance dowloaded this free anti-virus
program for me. Avira. So far it's worked very well.

I'm fortunate that this 2000 Dell pc has been running smoothly, with
no problems so far. If it went down, I'd be dependent upon the library computers.

Jetée 11-29-2009 02:03 PM

I need to get my butt in gear and pester myself enough to convince my other self to buy an external drive and backup my cyber self. I don't want to lose self identity and meanderings from the past 4 years.

They're cheap, too. What my storage cost then is now 15 time less expensive.

ring 11-29-2009 02:24 PM

Some days getting my butt in gear consists of getting out of bed;

On those days, bathing and feeding myself is a glorious bonus.

Doing our best, changes from moment to moment.

BadNick 11-29-2009 04:39 PM

After I log off a little later, I'll go do my best for a while and then log on again before bedtime. In between those I have to run out to Rite Aid to get new reading glasses since I broke mine earlier today. Wow, I have a full schedule tonight!

yes. I have read that. but if you read the article again, you will see that the failure rate is of compaqs and the G series. not the pavilions or other probook series.

BadNick 11-29-2009 07:29 PM

Well some related reliability facts: even though I love this laptop and it's now worked perfectly for many months, I could say it has a failure rate of 50% for me since the first one I got started acting up after one week so they gave me a new one which so far has been perfect. Like most things, it's perfect until it craps out and then it's a piece of shit. Like the two Gateway laptops I have in my garage that were perfect until they both failed in the same mode...not sure why I didn't just throw them in the trash...I'm still hoping to some day remove the hard drives and copy that part of my life on to my Western Digital Mirror external hard drive.

Good one, Jetty.

I chuckle heartily.
