2 seats is going to be a big deterant for people. It may be a good "secondary drive to work" car, but a primary or only vehicle? They really need to make a 4 seater model. Especially considering the average american family is 2.4 kids. Considering the average American family has more than 2.4 cars,...

Well, I already sent in my ballot last tuesday.

I'm already very curious as to how the election will turn out.... it's very hard for me to predict at the moment.

Unfortunately I don't have a TV at the moment... maybe I can find a pub showing CNN :D

So, one of the walls in my room is painted red. But the others all around it, as well as the ceiling, are white. Does that make it a white wall?

Spoon - The Underdog Great song, from a great rock band from Austin, TX. Never fails to remind me of winter/snowboarding, since this song was in a good snowboard video. BTW, my whole heater basement smells like primer... :D http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b33/klankymen/Speakers/th_primer.jpg

This'd be pretty easy in Linux, just set up LIRC (the program that receives IR stuff) to associate the buttons with the proper commands. Sounds like Girder would do something similar, and you could perhaps even try it with your old tv card IR receiver before buying anything new. OK, I'll test the O...

No idea if that PSU will power on your system though. And since it's old, it's probably not very quiet either. Well, it's an Antec. It's not as good as my NeoHE, but it's not that shabby noisewise. Anyway, thanks for the other answers, I think I'll go for the 740, if it's a die-shrunk 690 (cheaper ...

Using a remote to control my computers media playback

Hey. I've been thinking lately.... would it be possible for me to use the remote from my Receiver (as in amplifier) to control the media playback on my computer? You can program the remote using 5 digit number codes in order to control other devices, I'm currently using it to control the TV and VCR ...

Thanks, that's pretty much the combo I was looking at. I might go for a cheaper CPU, and try to include a hard drive (29€s) in the budget. Those 2 components are tried and tested I assume, since you mention they are popular, so I won't run into any obvious compatibility issues, right? (obviously u...

And 20 seconds to 60mph is pretty normal -- most people might even take a lot longer than this in normal driving. Full throttle acceleration is quite detrimental to your fuel economy, anyway. True. And True. But nonetheless, I'd prefer to have more accelerating force, even if I'll use 20 seconds to...
