8What? QUIT LOOKING AT ME
their immigration lawyer has told them the best thing they can do is get a sponsor and he just sent me a semi-casual email asking me to sponsor them. i have to show proof that i make a certain amount of money and he says that's about it.
so uh.. is this a terrible idea or is it no big deal? does anybody have any clue what i'd be in for? i'd love to help them out but don't want to get involved in some annoying shit.

Athlon XP 1900+
1 GB RAM (266)
Radeon 9200 (128 MB)
Win 2003
The motherboard supports up to the XP 2200+ which I can get for about $50. And I was 2 GB of 184-pin DDR 333 (PC 2700) for $116. Plus a $10 HSF I'd pick up locally at Fry's.

If I did either/both of these would I be able to run HD resolution movies on this machine? Right now they play, but there's quite a bit of stuttering. Maybe I should try upgrading the RAM first, then swing back around and pickup the CPU later if needed?

This is my first time using MySQL and i'm pretty confused. I installed version 5.0 and i'm trying to run the following commands:
create database workbitch
grant all privileges on workbitch.* to root@localhost identified by 'password';
When I run that it just returns an error saying my syntax is wrong... Any ideas?

Yes, ladies and gentleman, it's time to hit the pitch with Mario and chums once again, as Nintendo proffers another wedge of paper-thin football relevance hanging staunchly over a pile of impossibly addictive insanity.

Anyone here had crazy wrist pain before? It kind of developed over the weekend, and this morning its the most stiff it's been. Very stiff and some mild pain when moving it up and down.
I don't think it's Carpal as my family has no history of it, nor do I have trouble really moving my thumb or any pain on top of my hand. The main source which seems to be effecting my wrist is the left side of it (pinkey finger side). I think it came on from over-exerting(stretching) my pinkey finger continuously to hit a key in some game and maybe a some awkward twisting.
Tendonitis maybe? Am I gonna die? Should I go to the emergency room?!?!?

Could I make a new partition in linux, then do the windows install to that partition and after it screws up the MBR, boot with knoppix and reinstall Grub or something? I don't really have the luxury of doing things from scratch and installing Windows XP first.
