i'm on a roll... the kgsshv
I drilled and tapped my Pessante heatsinks with just a drill press and hand taps. Blind bores, used a bottom tap. Not perfectly straight (didn't use the 1" block of metal suggested by Kevin above... good tip). Didn't break any taps on 3 mounting holes (for the angle brackets) per sink. Would probably want a better method for more holes such as what I guess you are talking about, but if you take your time and work carefully, it could probably be done.

Group Build: Dynafet
I put mine away back in Feb. and haven't touched it since. I was waiting to see if Marc got his going or had some input but haven't seen or heard anything since then.

Osama Bin Laden is dead
Yes, hats off to all military and intelligence folks, both past and present, and especially to the Seals and military who went in on this. I personally am glad we are spared the circus that a capture and trial would have most certainly presented. It would have probably put more people in danger and eventually led to more or less the same thing (dead).

And now what did you do TODAY?
Since we switched to triple play with Comcast (at much reduced rate from what we were paying for comcast i-net and TV and AT&T for phone service) I have been much happier with Comcast. Here, my choices are to deal with them, or satan (AT&T), for hs internet. For the most part it has been much more reliable the last couple of years as well.

New Forum Software
Also noted that not all new content shows up in the new content view. Your post for example Al. I just noticed it in Forum View. I wonder how much other new stuff I am missing?

Why not to use Ontrac (Amazon)
Yeah, never heard of OnTrac. Interestingly, I needed to order some ink for our printer at home, and I usually get it through Amazon. I went ahead and ordered it (saving > $20 + tax from BestBuy prices), and noticed a shipping option of Local Express Delivery, which promised next day delivery. Cost was ~$11, which was less than the 2-day delivery option. Normally I would just use their free super saver delivery, but I wanted this a bit quicker. So I went with it. Sure enough, it was delivered yesterday after placing the order Monday night. It is not available in all areas (seemed to only be major cities). I assumed it would be coming out of Chicago somewhere, but when I went to look at the tracking, it came out of the Indianapolis area and was delivered by a courier service! I have no idea how $11 pays for all of that, but WTF. I assume the Indy to Chicago must have been on UPS or FedEx run between the two cities?

Do the other two layers actually buy you anything other than additional complexity and more opportunity for internal shorts? BTW, regarding z-foils, etc., y'all be crazy...

A Game of Thrones Pilot Greenlit
Never read the book, but the preview did look good (and maybe real good). Nice review in the Chicago Tribune today: Chicago Tribune review Didn't realize that Lena Headey is in this... hot EDIT: meant to say the preview, not review
