The data is for fiscal year October 1, 2003 to September 30, 2004. There are 33 different tables that can help one get their hands around the scope of the tax collection process and the dollar amounts involved. http://forums.shaye.com/post.aspx?post=18 Mon, 13 Feb 2006 17:12:00 GMT Eloysa Vasquez recently gave birth to a baby boy. What makes this amazing is not that the child was 3 lbs 7 ounces, but the mother was only 37 lbs before getting pregnant. The China Daily has a story with a picture of the happy family. http://forums.shaye.com/post.aspx?post=17 Mon, 13 Feb 2006 16:23:00 GMT There is a news article today on the Science Blog that talks about researchers at RPI creating fusion at room temperatures. My first thought was about the infamous research done by Stanley Pons and Martin Fleischmann in 1989 on cold fusion. I hope this doesn't turn out to be such a flop and we can take another step towards reduced petroleum consumption. http://forums.shaye.com/post.aspx?post=16 Mon, 13 Feb 2006 13:36:00 GMT Dick Cheney, while out hunting today, sprayed Harry Whittington in the face and chest with shotgun pellets. http://forums.shaye.com/post.aspx?post=15 Sun, 12 Feb 2006 19:12:00 GMT The Internal Revenue Service recently published the top 12 tax scams for 2006. Certainly one would expect a litany of bad tax advice hawked in Ramada Inn conference centers across the mid-west and on shady financial planning websites to appear on this list. Thankfully, the service does not disappoint. http://forums.shaye.com/post.aspx?post=13 Sat, 11 Feb 2006 11:31:00 GMT List of current components for the Home Theater PC. http://forums.shaye.com/post.aspx?post=14 Tue, 07 Feb 2006 09:21:00 GMT I found SilverStone Technology (SilverStonetek) in an article on Tom's Hardware Guide about cases for use as a home theater PC. They make some hot looking cases that would be perfect for the living room. I really like the LCM16M. It comes in a silver or black finish with an external 5.25" bay in the front for a DVD/CD drive. http://forums.shaye.com/post.aspx?post=7 Fri, 14 Oct 2005 10:14:00 GMT I found a book titled Building the Perfect PC. The authors are Robert Bruce Thompson and Barbara Fritchman Thompson who have been building computers for years. It was published within the past year and is an easy read so it was perfect. I went through it in a day and it gave me a reasonable foundation to build upon. http://forums.shaye.com/post.aspx?post=6 Sun, 09 Oct 2005 10:30:00 GMT Tom's Hardware Guide has an article on building a home theater PC. They are going for very small profile cases from HiperPower. See the article. http://forums.shaye.com/post.aspx?post=5 Sat, 08 Oct 2005 12:30:00 GMT We did find a restaurant online called Blue Lemon right off the Post Road on 15 Myrtle Avenue. I was afraid it was going to be a stuffy, past it's prime spot frequented by an older crowd still longing for credibility. Thankfully, I was wrong. http://forums.shaye.com/post.aspx?post=4 Sat, 08 Oct 2005 08:16:00 GMT I've never built a computer before but have always been interested in trying it out. My brother-in-law who has done it in the past thinks it's a pain. I need to find out for myself. Being the OCD + CPA that I am, I'm doing extensive amounts of research before I actually dive into actually buying components and building the box. I've decided that the first one I build will be a Home Theater PC (HTPC). http://forums.shaye.com/post.aspx?post=1 Thu, 06 Oct 2005 22:05:00 GMT I set up this blog as forum to post my thoughts about various topics.
