    A new argument in favor of DC?

    Also, we have our good colleague Wikipedia to thank: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_fatigue Something to note here... is that this article is a property of a metal, and silicon is technically a metalloid. I'm still looking for something outlining the thermal properties of silicon.

    A new argument in favor of DC?

    Here are a couple of sources we used during our discussion: http://www.overclockers.com/tips30/ http://www.devhardware.com/forums/dev-folding-29/will-folding-decrease-my-processor-s-life-span-64446.html And yes, I realize the second could be the opinions of people who could be wrong. :D

    I Want To Try Linux (Which Version Should I Get?)

    AMD64 X2, Win2K only finding one core

    Hey out there. I have a 4600+ X2 that was working fine in Win2K with both cores functioning properly.

    iTunes for Linux

    I use XMMS... but it is obviously most similar to Winamp. As far as iTunes... I don't know, I don't use it. amaroK is another player within Linux though, and the interface looks similar. You might try that?

    WoW. Pet Trainers Locations.

    You can also learn different skills for different types of pets. Once you train a new type of pet, fight along side it until you learn its abilities, then you can transfer those abilities to your other pets.

    Recommend me a linux distro...

    I also recommend Ubuntu or Kubuntu. Installs in about 25 minutes, and there is a live CD available, so you can fire that up first to check for hardware compatibility. I use Kubuntu, and I have had more luck with it vs. Ubuntu.

    Hosting Feedback - Where can I get hosting...

    I finally got rid of Siteserver, after a month of arguing about the year I had to pay for. I just set up an account with Edgewebhost. We'll see how it works out. I like how you can pick and choose options to add on to your packages such as more bandwidth, more storage, more dbs, etc.

    ASP.NET SQL problem.

    Ok, i found the problem. Apparently Access doesn't like it when you name a field the same name as another data type. So I renamed the date field in the database, and it worked fine.

    Running United Devices on Linux.

    I had the same findings. I don't understand. UD would boost thier numbers like crazy if they released a Linux client. I also heard that they have a Linux wrapper program done, its just thier supporters won't write a Linux port of the apps that run inside of the UD program. I know they would...
