I have a 75 year old gentleman who wants to learn about computers. He has a Dell, but wants to be able to tinker around and build a PC from scratch. I’d like to teach him. Looking for any old computer that I can completely take apart and put back together and have it work, get online, etc. No...

The total quantity of these: https://www.playstation.com/en-us/campaigns/2015/taco-bell-limited-edition-gold-ps4-bundle/ is just over 6000 units, and I've noticed the price on some ebay auctions (not buy it now) is between $500-600..which doesn't seem like too much of a premium considering the...

I'm sure a lot of people have decent gaming PC's, and I noticed a lot of other tech and gaming-related sites have official teams that work together using the spare processing power of their computers for Folding@Home.  For those who don't know, this is basically a distributed computing project...

Just thought I'd share this awesome documentary. It's about the "controversy" surrounding evolution and the Dover trial a few years ago where both sides battled it out in court. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x2xyrel-2vI And here is a lecture by one of the primary witnesses of the trial...

I just discovered Folding@Home and really love the idea of helping cure diseases with spare processing power. I've already built one machine for folding 24/7 and am working on number two. For those unfamiliar with what folding is, you can read about it here: http://folding.stanford.edu/ I...

Just curious, has anyone calculated the stats to find out what type of PC the PS3 is comparable to when it comes to Folding@Home? I just discovered this program a few months ago and it feels great to be a part of potentially curing deadly diseases. I'm considering building a cheap i3 system...

This is the version I have, complete in original box. http://www.amazon.com/West-Wing-Complete-Collection/dp/B000HC2LI0/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1310001859&sr=8-1 Contains all 145 episodes on 45 discs, as well as a bunch of behind the scenes footage and unaired scenes. It's in excellent...

A concise indictment of Christian doctrines from Christopher Hitchens..probably the best 12 minute polemic I've ever heard. For the Christians , I'd be interested to hear your thoughts. For everyone else...Enjoy! ;) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AQwlvUxqfbU

I just discovered Kiva.org and it seems like an awesome concept. Basically, it allows individuals to pool their resources to help entrepreneurs in poor countries get off the ground. You can make loans as small as $25 to someone who needs it. The cool thing is that once the loan is paid back...

I've needed to take a second job since receiving a pay cut last year, which led me to realize I will not have time to watch any of my TV box sets for the foreseeable future. I'm willing to sell these here for 20% less than I can get on Ebay merely for convenience. There are hundreds of discs...

This isn't me, but I thought it was lulzworthy the way the mom brings up Santa as a punishment.. It is such an appropriate representation of Christianity's "carrot and stick".. Be a good Christian and the good Santa in heaven will give you presents. Otherwise the bad Santa downstairs will...

I was doing some work on my car this afternoon. I had the carb out and was cleaning it with a little bit of gasoline. Stupid me, I had the gasoline in a bowl, and I set it down on the ground and forgot all about it. About an hour later, I see my dog lapping out of the bowl... I quickly...
