wayne cochran started writing the song in 1956 then finished it after a car accident dec 22 1962. the song was first recorded in 1963. wayne cochran n the c.c. riders is absolutely correct.

Comment on The ReadyNAS Memory Test by The Plaid Cow

The instructions say to run it twice because each run of the test only catches 85% of bad memory and running it twice moves the likelihood of catching bad memory up to 97.75%. (Of course more times would move it to 99.66%, 99.95%, 99.99% and so on, but there is a point of diminishing returns.)

I picked the ReadyNAS NV over the TerraStation back when Infrant was still in charge. (They've since been bought out by Netgear.) Since purchase it has slowly migrated from a single 750 GB drive to a 4x1500 (4.5TB) monster.

From what I've read, the NV+ is a little less underpowered for what I like it to do. (MediaServer, BitTorrent client, TiVo server, etc.) Hopefully it is also little less picky about the RAM and other hardware that you can add on.

Comment on Another Reason Quicken Sucks by Michael Jensen

Having determined years ago how bad Quickbooks is (I do not have the 4 hours it would take to list all my frustrations with this program and even more-so with the company), the only challenge that exists now with Intuit is to figure out which “Quickbooks Sucks” website to post our thoughts. There are too many. Our lives would be made easier if someone could consolidate all the Quickbooks Sucks / Intuit Sucks websites into one.

As of now – I’m using a pirated version of QB Pro 2008 … note that I have actually purchased a legitimate copy of 2008 – but Intuit’s registration process is so obnoxious and intrusive that I refuse to go through with it. Thankfully there are websites out there with quickbooks password cracks … (be careful if you don’t know what you’re doing … not all of them are reputable … of course they are not – they are hosting pirated software).

Google is always more useful than yahoo. Not only the theater but any thing which we require in daily life like mobile, shops, cars, bus, news and more.. We can find easily with the help of Google. Google is the world’s no.1 search engine and Many peoples are love to use Google.

I have the Quickbooks 2009…had to call customer service to get the software registered…was on the call for 1 hour and 31 minutes…over an hour on hold because I refuse to give a credit card number for the so called service plan…I asked the non English speaking rep to transfer me to a supervisor…she refused…out right refused…thank god there are other programs out there that do what Quickbooks does…you are completely correct….Intuit SUCKS…
