History Channel. Modern Marvels, Human Weapon, Cities of the Underworld. Any WWII program. I like the way the programming makes the history entertaining and educational. Let's face it: Who among us was that interested in history in school? These 1 or 2 hours programs are informative and quickly over. Most leave you wanting more. Sneaky.

Decent single. I like Alterbridge better. Tremonti really stepped up post Creed.
Nice find.
Nicely done.
If any of you are still having problems, I offer this solution. Deleting the cookie folder for bf2s.com does not work. Search for bf2s in the search bar. Delete any individual cookies that area associated with the search result. I guess I was a little slow to figure this one out.

Thanks for the laugh.
I guess building ones to live of off poop was passe. Regardless, disturbing.

I originally heard it as a joke: it was a five book trilogy. The original series stopped with the third book Life, the Universe and Everything. So I don't know if the last two were after thoughts or what. All in all, the entire series was easy to read and very imaginative. I re-read them every so often. I keep forgetting various parts and it's good for a laugh. RIP Douglas Adams.KingCheese wrote:

You get out what you put in. College is no exception. The grades should reflect that to a degree. Your GPA will help open doors for the job market. So companies only look at GPA and use it as a means to weed people out.

Seven Pounds with Will Smith: 3/10
Over acted; predictable plot and story; nothing special overall.

Back at all of you dads.
That's pretty cool.
The supercell one gave me the chills. Good post.
That was fun to watch.
The only un-awesome part is the cost of .308 ammo. Actually, it's all overpriced nowadays. Still, good times.
It just goes to show that when things are done right, they get rewarded. I wonder who gets all the loot.
I am surprised that it is doing as well as Titanic or the others. It was the best adaptation of the Batman yet. I have spoken to others who are not fanboys such as myself and they like it. All the pieces fit.

I have had the pleasure of firing autos. It is very fun. It is expensive with the cost of ammo.
I have also been to Knob Creek in Kentucky when they do a similar full-auto shoot. Trust me. Good times. Look like the OK shoot was much bigger with explosions.

Another bad one: Manos The Hands of Fate. Not even MST 3000 could save that one. I could barely watch it in MST 3K form. Some of those 60's movies were not well thought out.

Update:
First, I just spent an hour running around to find the 3300 micro-Farad, 6.3V cap. I am disappointed in Radio Shack. They completely skip over the 3300 microfarad ones. Even an electronic repair store did not have the cap. Perplexing. After talking on the phone with many polite computer or electronic repair shops, I found one that had the caps but would not sell them. He wanted to look at the MB and replace all five caps. Not exactly what I wanted. I am going to try to find them on-line.
Gleam of hope for my other $50 option to replace the MB and CPU: One shop told me that I did not have to reformat the HDD for another board. Just do a repair when booting from disc. I am not 100% about that one. Thoughts?

Hey, thanks for your kind suggestions.
The consensus is to attempt to replace the capacitor. My banker (aka the missus) agrees. I'll probably go to a local shop once I remove the thing. Most I saw online were well less than $10 more like $5. I see this as something that I can attempt. Maybe luck will smile upon me.
I found this guy's attempt. He replaced a few. I only see one that is giving me trouble.

I knew this day was coming. I opened my case to put in a back up HDD and look what was waiting for me:

That is a capacitor right under the CPU. This board has been very reliable for four years. Oddly enough, the thing still ran but I am sure if I should turn it back on.
So I am reaching out to my fellow community. Mostly for some sympathy as I know I am going to have to scrap this board. My options are somewhat limited. I have found a $50 replacement option that would utilize my components as it is now. This would keep me in the AGP ages. I would like to jump into the dual core arena. I have been able to put something decent together for about $250. It would involve getting a new MB, RAM, CPU and HDD. The MB would allow me to upgrade in the future.
What would you do? Is there any way to salvage the board by replacing the cap? Should I just move on?
Here are the current specs on my aging but reliable machine: Asus A7N8X MB, AMD Athlon XP 2600+, 1.5 GB Corsair RAM (3 x 512 MB), Sapphire X1650 Pro AGP with 512 MB RAM, WD 320 GB IDE HDD, two optical drives, Raidmax Scorpio case with 430 W power supply.
I could probably salvage some money off the CPU, RAM and video card. Sadly, that video card is 6 months old.

At least you get my point. I was not concerned where the force came from. My point was that an applied force will generate and equal force in the opposite direction. This could cause unwanted motion in space. Due to the size of the station, the solar particles may not cause a measurable result. However, in space there are no frictional forces on a free floating station to resist the movement (I realize that it is not an absolute). The gravitational forces may keep it stationary. It is actually an interesting mix of forces. I say do it and see what happens.Mavik wrote:
Right on the Newton but then you are neglecting something. In a helicopter the force to spin the blades comes from the engine built fixed into the helicopter. So as the engine puts force on the blades to rotate them, it receives the same force to rotate itself/the helicopter it is built in.Blehm98 wrote:
forcing the station to spin would take a lot more energy than it would take to make a fan spin, depending on how loosely fitted it is onto the stationRoomba wrote:
Alright. You forced me to geek it up a bit: Newton's Third Law "For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction." It is about the exact action placed on the mounted part that the sails are attached to. So the forces that turn the sail to rotate will apply the same force in the opposite direction. The problem is that in space the friction is almost nullified. The opposite force from the sails mount may cause undesired movement that will be amplified on a free floating station.
Otherwise space stations would be gyrating out of control from forces solar winds on their solar panels
i don't think solar winds have enough energy to spin a fan anyway, tbh
A solar wind fan receives the force from the solar wind/particals, the station just sits there and looks nice.
But I concur that the problem of a free floating space station would be the remaining force in the original direction of the solar wind that would push the whole installation away from the sun.
Well, if solar winds have enough energy to push a ship with appropriate sails (of an appropriate size), they should be able to rotate a fan - cause a fan is nothing else but a sail twisted to redirect winds and being "pushed" not in the direction of the wind but sideways to rotate.

The base would not turn in the other direction I think - and even if it does it would not be a problem as spinning helicopter is not quite useful, if the base of a solar wind power plant would turn it would actually speed up the generators.Roomba wrote:

Good topic. I think you could combine one real aspect with one semi-real one:
The friction may be avoided by using super-conductors. You may have seen the magnets in liquid nitrogen experiment. Since space is cold, you may be able to reach those temperatures easily.
The other idea is the 'space elevators'. Instead of travel, the extremely large tower could send the energy down to earth. I am not sure how plausible this is. I liked the suggestion of wireless energy better.
