More big banks failing...
To those saying that 8500 is going to be the bottom, I wouldn't be so sure. September 3, 1929, the DJIA closed at 381.17 July 8, 1932, the DJIA closed at 41.22. Over that 2+ year period, it lost 89.2% In fact, the DJIA didn't recover to pre-crash levels until 1954. With a similar drop...- ameyer17

I don't like the idea of the buyout, but I agree with Bush that the consequences of not doing anything are far greater than the harm done by the bailout.- ameyer17

What are your laptop core temps? advice please.
My EEEPC runs about 65-67C if I don't underclock it or prop up the back, and I thought that was ridiculously hot. Heck, the keyboard and hand rest are even nice and toasty warm. EDIT: Of course, it still doesn't beat the 144C it shows due to a Linux kernel bug.- ameyer17

LHC gets a new name; video game nerds smell conspiracy

Single Driver vs Multiple Drivers... My thoughts on the trend.
I don't think single-driver IEMs are on their way out, honestly. There'll always be cheap-ish dynamic IEMs, and it wouldn't surprise me to see single-driver BA IEMs for quite a while, honestly.- ameyer17

I'd say EP630 or CX300 for the gym. Whichever one you can get cheaper.- ameyer17
