Re: Mars One - Colonizing Mars
FWIW, my experience with scientists is that very few are avowed atheists. I know lots of people that are indifferent or agnostic, and several that are religious in one way or another. Just my experience being part of a large circle of assorted engineers, chemists, physicists, and medical people.

Re: I'm powerless. Anyone else?
Coming to you live from my powered home. Woohoo!
Feeling for the folks that are still without, though.

Re: I'm powerless. Anyone else?
I live in/near the mountains now, and Friday night I just stood at my bedroom window watching the power go off and on up and down the mountain. (We lost it and regained it several times before it went out for good.) We lived through several outages in NY... Particularly the big ice storm a few years...

Re: I'm powerless. Anyone else?
From what I gather it was hurricane force winds without any of the standard warning. Trees and lines went down, and I guess several of the grid substations had major damage, so it's kind of a two-fold problem. I'm lucky in that I live in a development with buried lines, but we're being affected by t...

I'm powerless. Anyone else?
Random ass out-of-nowhere storm knocked my power out Friday night. Not projected to be restored until Saturday night. It's hot. We've got it better than most. Managed to find a generator Sunday morning to keep the fridge running, charge phones, etc. Just hoping gas supply holds out. Any of my pals i...

Re: Functional Computer
Hooray! I'm a big fan of Ubuntu... in fact, now that I am finished school (AND LICENSED!!) and no longer need Windows, maybe I'll swing back to it.
Did you drop a TV card in? If you go the Windows 7 route, it works splendidly as a DVR if you install a TV card.

Re: Static Shock?
Wait... so you didn't turn the computer on? At all?
Sigh.
I retract my previous assertion pertaining to your ability to build a computer.

Re: Static Shock?
Did you hit the on switch?
(No, really. My PSU had a switch that was hidden and up against the case wall. I had to uninstall it, flip the switch, and then reinstall... then all was right as rain.)
You could also make sure the little wattage switch is in the right place.

Re: XBox Headsets
No Kinect yet, but we've been considering one... That's one more check in the pro column.

XBox Headsets
My googling as turned up nothing, maybe your experiences can help. Husband has a paid Xbox Live account, uses it often. I occasionally play Call of Duty online with him, in private rooms with friends/family. Definitely not worth me having my own paid account. We have two wired headsets, but have nev...
