  1. You do realise that in that "amercian" made PC almost all the components are made in asia - i know for a fact that the CPU and Motherboard are.
  2. You won't get anything more out of him. No body ever does, notice how he never comment over in the HC thread about the current HC spending that is occuring.
  3. have a look at jolicloud - got it off of techzilla, looks pretty good.
  4. The program you described will never work. Way way too many variables for it to calculate reliable figures. And if you are not calculating reliable figures you might as well pull a random number and display that as your result.
  5. Zimmer and h3%5kr3w your arguments are flawed. You can not rely on the market to balance the cost when the product cannot be refused. You argue that taxes and spending will go up, what your not taking into account is that the current system cost want be carried through as they will be replaced. The current system in the US is not working and is not sustainable in any type of term. Lets have a quick look at some figures from the OECD (2007). Health expenditure as a share of GDP. US 16% France 11% (closest spender) Average 8.9% Canada 10.1% (added as US compare themselves to canada a lot) Health Expenditure per capita (private + public). US $7290 Norway $4763 Average $2964 Canada $3805 Now I can already hear you complaining that it includes both private and public, what about just public? Apart from 2 other countries (Norway and Luxembourg) the US Spends more than the other 31 countries, in fact it spends more publicly than the average of Private and Public. The current US medical system is flawed and needs replacing.
  6. Now do it in the same form factor and finish and a mac mini. Don't forget the EFI-X dongle as well.
  7. My desk - Nothing fancy at all - works for me though.
  8. Hey Silent knight. Head over to http://www.speedtest.net/ and let us know what speed you are getting. I have a 1.5mb connection to my isp but usually get around 1.3mb. all depends on what time of day it is.Make sure nothing except your browser is running. It may also be that you are confusing bits and Bytes. On a 1.5mBIT connection you will download at a max of about 160mBYTES (this is observed max - havent done the maths).
