    The Artificial Intelligence Search Engine Is Here (Update: And No One Likes It)

    Re: The Artificial Intelligence Search Engine Is Here Wow...I really like it. Granted it's very limited right now, but the concept is amazing. I can't wait to see this until it becomes as powerful as Google is now.

    New Hot Water Heater - Help Needed

    I have a tankless water heater at my house and it's great. It's not very noisy (it's in the garage anyhow) and there's an endless supply of hot water. When we go on trips there isn't a bunch of wasted hot water. Also, we have a control unit in the main bathroom which you can set the temperature...

    Mathematical notation question-JR High

    From what I know... -5^2 is always assumed to be -(5^2) [which comes out to -25] unless it's explicitly written (-5)^2 [in which case the answer would be +25]. The exponent only operates on the number right next to it and it does not operate on the number along with it's sign. I think this has...

    The national debt?

    There most definitely is interest on the debt. And with trillions of dollars of debt, you can probably imagine how much money that comes out to be. Just as there is a cost for an individual to be in debt, there is also a cost for a government to be in debt. Money isn't "free". If it were, it...

    Prayers for all those in the fire areas in CA...STAY SAFE

    I'm not sure they would actually pull you out of your house or arrest you. My understanding is that "mandatory" isn't actually mandatory. Once you leave, they won't let you back in...but can you really be arrested for remaining in your own house/on your own property?

    Prayers for all those in the fire areas in CA...STAY SAFE

    That's a scary story....and there are definitely some lessons to be learned from it.

    Real bugs messing up my computer?!?!

    I've never heard of a bug activating any buttons on a touch screen before...that idea hadn't even crossed my mind before reading your post, but now that I've heard of it, the idea is slowing setting in. How odd though. It's a good thing he saw the actual bug...otherwise you probably would have...

    Anybody eyeing tropical storm Hanna?

    I know...seems like a logical thing to do. I mean I'd cancel my auto insurance if I stopped driving for a period of time.

    Hurricane Gustav

    I'm glad your back and doing okay. I would like to see that thread sometime...I'd love to hear what you have to say on what the citizens could do. It seems like trying to keep the mandatory evacuation orders in effect after the storm had passed backfired a bit. People were nice enough to follow...

    In Memory - Stephen Appelman (3rd_Shift)

    I haven't been active for a while, but I check the Cafe from time to time, and I'm very saddened to hear this news. 3rd_Shift is definitely one of the people who's names I recognize and remember from way back when I used to be more active. My condolenses and may he rest in peace.

    Building a PC for internet portal

    There's no need to buy a second "disposable" computer for web browsing that you'll be okay with getting trashed should you get a virus. I'd look into the virtual equivalent of getting a second computer: a virtual machine. It will allow you access to the internet, and should you contract a...

    One more PC question, mixing memory modules

    I think if you're going to buy a 1GB stick, you could most likely just add that to your existing 256MB - there's no point in taking it out.
