Wow lots of downvoting from people who don't like Chicago pizza...

by egb 16y ago
Chicago pizza is indeed the best, with a shout-out to Bill's Pub, Il Forno, and Gino's East, but setting aside all the sports-team-style posturing, it's all about trying a boatload of different places till you find your favorite. For inspir

I'm hoping for an EcoSphere - kind of like Sea Monkeys for grownups, or maybe it's just like a tiny aquarium that never needs feeding, just indirect light and making sure it doesn't get too warm. http://www.amazon.com/EcoSphere-Small-Spher

Point of order, in that this doesn't seem to be from the xray pushback - this seems to be from 2002. Page title is "Federal V.I.P Penn - 11/13/02"

Lots of people here have mac laptops (like me) - any concerns about lack of TRIM support in OSX? Some blogs says that the "easy fix" for lack of TRIM is to just backup/reformat/restore your SSD every X months. Eeech
