Computer Work Finished...

Well folks i got the computer work finished. I installed a WD500GB SATA300 drive, did away with an 80GIG and a 160GIG drive. I installed 2GIGs of Kingston KVR DDR2700 ram and added a KVR 512MB stick. I also added an Antec Truepower Trio 650watt power supply to the old box and BOY it made a big differeance. I think that i am going to get another 80-100 gig WD drive to change out the 40GIG system drive.

What is your opinion?

| AOL to Shut Down Netscape Support/Development |

[0]Kelson writes "After years of trying to figure out what to do with it,

AOL is officially [1]discontinuing the Netscape browser. In the four and

a half years after they dismantled the development team and spun off the

[2]Mozilla Foundation as a lost cause, only to see [3]Firefox take off,

AOL has tried twice to reinvent Netscape. There was the chimera-like

Netscape 8, which used both Mozilla's and IE's rendering engines, and

just months ago they released Netscape 9, trying to ride the social

networking wave. AOL will release security fixes through February 1,

2008, after which the browser will officially be dead. For the

"nostalgic," they suggest using Firefox and installing a Netscape theme."

1, [1]no spare lithium batteries are allowed in checked luggage.

Batteries carried in the cabin are subject to limitations on per-battery

and total lithium content, and spare batteries must have the terminals

covered. If you're returning home from the holidays with new toys, be

sure to check out the new restrictions before you pack."

[0]eldavojohn writes "A year after [1]opening its movie download service,

[2]Wal-Mart has abandoned the endeavor. They claim this is a result of

HP's decision to stop supporting its video download store software. The

article also notes that, unlike iTunes, Wal-Mart offered variable pricing

which attracted a lot of studios. 'The world's largest retailer instead

turned its rental service over to Netflix Inc. Wal-Mart still operates a

music download service and continues to sell CDs and DVDs at retail

stores and over the Internet for shipping by mail.' Is this evidence of

the strength of unified pricing in media downloads or just another

company being squished by the giant Netflix & Apple?"

and register your domain ideas in minutes. 'Every time you do a whois

SirLurksAlot sends us to Ars Technica for an article about the Warner

Music Group's [0]decision to allow DRM-free music downloads through

Amazon. This reversal of [1]Warner's former position has been [2]underway

for some time, and it boosts the number of DRM-free songs available from

Amazon to 2.9 million. Quoting: "Warner's announcement says nothing about

offering its content through other services such as iTunes, and

represents the music industry's attempt to make life a bit more difficult

for Apple after all the years in which the company held the keys to

music's digital kingdom.

Ministry - Thieves

Thieves and Liars...

Ministry - Jesus Built My Hotrod

Jesus Built My Hotrod is a 1991 single by Ministry and was the band's most popular song up to that point. The track features a driving beat and speed metal guitar work backing Butthole Surfers' Gibby Haynes gonzo vocal stylings.
The Band:
Al Jourgensen
Paul Barker
M Balch
Gibby Haynes
Bill Rieflin

PANINARO '95 PET SHOP BOYS

The remix released in 1995 was not as good as the original track from 1986.

Pet Shop Boys - Paninaro

The video depicts this very well.
I love the long version on the "Disco" album from 1986.
An Italian youth cult of the 1980s named from the sandwich bars where its members gathered. They wore expensive ‘designer’ clothes (from the US and Italy), presenting a tough militaristic image - leather jackets, belts with large buckles, dark glasses - which accorded with their right-wing views.
