Grandma: So what's the procedure you and Shelley are doing?
The International Agency for Research on Cancer announced Wednesday that it had elevated sunbeds, used by tens of millions of people for tanning, to its highest cancer risk category.Classified in 1992 and a "probable" cancer agent, research since then has left no doubt that soaking up UV rays at tanning salons significantly enhances the chances of developing the disease, the World Health Organisation (WHO) agency found.
Duh.

Follow these instructions if you have dual ATI graphics cards in a CrossFireXTM configuration installed in your system
Note: Apparently, the way Dell got CrossFireX to work with the 630i's Nvidia motherboard is as follows:
- They custom-flash the BIOS of all ATI graphics cards they supply.
- They include one or more "hook" file(s) with their version of the ATI display driver package that remains even after you uninstall the Dellified drivers.
So in order to get CrossFireX to work correctly, you may need to perform the following steps--restarting your system after each step--in the order listed below:
- Uninstall ATI's display drivers.
- Install Dell's version of the display drivers.
- Uninstall Dell's version of the display drivers.
- Reinstall ATI's display drivers.
A royal pain, but there it is. This also means you will be unable to upgrade to ATI cards that Dell does not supply (and of course you'd have to obtain them directly from Dell), as they simply won't work in CrossFireX no matter what you do.
Why the fuck did I buy this Dell PC? FUCK FUCK FUCK !!!

Power just flashed off for about 10 seconds. Looks like some bad stuff coming through Dallas. I'm pretty close to the stickpen weather station at Red Oak JHS.

Very cool idea, I've got a lot of junk around here I could add. I don't use eBay any longer, it's gotten to be more of a pain than it's worth for most tech gear. I could list it on Craigslist but this looks good also.

Some photos I took of a storm rolling into Red Oak, TX. We're under a
Severe Thunderstorm Warning at the moment.

Here's my boy Eli, feeling a bit better laying on the couch with me watching comic-con coverage from yesterday on G4.

This is pretty messed up. Glad they didn't have sperm banks in Oxford because I was for sure broke enough to rub one out for a few dollars. And who wouldn't have wanted swimmers from a young, healthy, chemical engineering student?
