Evening Reading
by Steve Gibson, Sep 01, 2004 6:54pm PDTSo I'm leaving the dark side and going back to an AMD system after a couple of years of being an Intel lover. Scott over at Tech-Report convinced (ok, he pointed me to benchmarks) me to get an Athlon64 and well, sell off a few parts and I get me an almost free upgrade!

Anyway. What if there was a way to do this over greater distances..say interstellar space? It takes 1000 years for that supposed signal to reach us and it would take another 1000 years for any response we offered up should we decide to respond. But what is an advanced civilization was capable of sending out a quantum entangled signal that once observed, they would instantly know something intelligent out there had received it. So just by observing the signal you give away the fact you are there...and know they would know we exist.
Spooky.

My room size is weird, with things that stick out and ... its just weird. And I also have weird shaped desks and shelves and ... thats just weird too.
Anyone know of an easy program, preferably free, that would just let me feed in dimensions of this furniture so I can easily re-arange it on my computer and get an idea of what sucks and fits and what doesn't suck and doesn't fit?

TL;DR What does the shack recommend as a decent credit card?
I moved recently and had to update the billing information for my single credit card, and I thought I might as well remove it from paypal in the meantime. I try to re-add it and I find out it's blocked from the system! So I fax them over some information like a copy of the card, some bills, verification of identification and they tell me they still can't add it,and I should add another credit card to use paypal again.
Well that's nice, but I don't have another credit card. So can you guys recommend any good cards? Keep in mind this will be basically for making paypal payments only, and I'm guessing no more in excess of $200. Oh, also, I'm in Canada (not sure if that makes a difference).

smells like bullshit to me. I wish there was more investigative journalism and less copying and pasting of press releases (such as every ipod 'story' spat out by various outlets). Maybe then they could say "where exactly did this offer come from? How did it reach your attention?" Or at least they could have put it in the 'magazine' section with all the other shoddy writing.
