I B a Dell with XPsp2 and IE7 via Google Groups

seams to work as a get around.

I'll bet mine's quieter.
It all liquid cooled with the fans outside so it's pretty quiet.

Can it run all day for a quarter?


I don't pay the electric bill.

Are you talking about some workplace computer? What a dick. You don't

It's not "cycle". It's "cycles per second". Hertz proved the
possibility of man-made electromagnetic fields. They thought he needed
something with his name on it.

Wrong. We ALL pay the Electric Bill.

I don't pay that one. I don't make that much every month.

It's obvious Telemon is living off the largess of the American working
stiff on some kind of welfare program.

Cycles per second are frequency, yes, but it's still made up of
individual sine wave cycles, or, um, "hertz'". Sounds funny when you
came up in the megacycle days.

It sounded funny 40 years ago; I've since managed to adjust.

I'll pass off that information to the people in accounting. They will be
happy not to pay the electric bill.

I want my money back. There is very little liberty and freedom is a
stupid term.

If you work for an entity that needs water cooled supercomputers most
likely there's a taxpayer subsidy involved. The middle class is being
sucked dry to keep big business afloat. Eat the rich.
