Negroponte Joins Dark Power Shadows

Havana, Feb 18 (Prensa Latina) The George W. Bush government is a team of shadows whose highest ranking officials rank among the darkest of US reactionary political fauna, Granma newspaper´s international page denounces Friday.

According to the paper, each time Bush nominates an official for a post, he picks the worst of all, and together, they make up the worst, gloomiest, cruelest and most messianic administration of all.

I got RAMmed

I wrote previously about my computer situation, with my main Dell 8200 desktop underperforming due to having only 256MB of pricy RAMBUS memory (in case you're wondering, with nothing but Firefox open, my memory commit is already 200MB).

Anyway, rather than the $500+ that Dell wanted, I got another 512MB of 800-40 RAMBUS memory on eBay for $200.

It is good to get RAM. posted by Richard at 18:54 / permalink (post) | permalink (numeric)
