Hey Blue, I'm trying to get rid of a 3 year-old 8700BTU window air-conditioner (we just upgraded). I'm in Harlem. Don't know if it would help, but let me know if you're interested.

Anyone here get into the T:V beta?

nevermind... it's back.

Maybe this is a signal that it is time to buy an inexpensive laptop and go wireless. That way you can get away from the heat when it's really bad.

IIRC your ceiling is just below your roof line. No room to add insulation. You could cut in a skylight to improve the circulation. Of course those things always leak so you'd be trading one problem for another...

From the article

Earlier this month, a group confirmed that it has found the largest prime number known about to date. The new number, expressed as 2 to the 24,036,583th power minus 1, has 7,235,733 decimal digits.

Using some rough arithmatic in my head, printed on paper that number would be approximately 20 miles long! That's a big number.

That's appreciated, but the one in here now is about the same... 8700 BTU, and maybe a couple of years older.

That size might be up to the task just based on the square footage up here, but with the sun beating down on the roof, it's not getting it done. I'm thinking I need a 12,500 BTU beastie up here.

Fu-Sizzle Blue's nizzle?

Do they always leak? Even the non-opening ones?

I've been tempted on many an occasion to get one, or one of those 'sun tube' things. Our roof peaks on a pretty much NE/SW line, so on one side it would let in light for quite a long while...

There's a man out there I haven't seen in 15 years who's trying to kill me.

think of the number of atoms there are on earth...

as the website says, It is extremely unlikely that the total number of atoms in the earth is higher than 10^51 or lower than 10^48.

it (more than likely) takes less than 51 digits to represent the number of atoms on the earth. you're right, that is a *very* big number

Yeah, the one we just upgraded to is 13500BTU - definitely worth the investment, although it needs a sleeve.

While you're thinking about that, think of the number of electrons.
Or heck, the quarks!

Even more amazing, someone still uses Prodigy!

Eventually, yes. No matter how well you seal it eventually it will fail. A salesman will tell you otherwise.

I'm not a big fan of making what could be considered non-necessary. I agree though, they are very tempting in theory.

Just to ask, could anyone explain the in-joke about all these reviews? They are definitely funny and clever, but I'm just curious if there is more to it (i.e. something specific that spawned this), or just people doing something that is intentionally bizarre.

really?

the ones in our house were put in when we had an extension added onto the house. that was a good 16 years ago, havent had a leak yet (this is in the UK, land of rain).

or just people doing something that is intentionally bizarre.

my favourite qoute:

First you lay down your grapes and your kiwis on the surface of the cutting board. Then you offer up a silent oath to the "Juice Spirit" who presides and conducts you through the juice ritual. Then you slam the cricket bat down on the fruit. Instant juice!

Wha? I am surprised nin did not suggest his scared of the light...*cough* I mean anti sun defense to product his hordes of music :). Foil on the windows instead of the film!

*edit*

Ohh, did you try new deodorant!

The ones with the power EXTREME POWER CAPS! Or how about that fancy smancy EXTREME SPORT STRIPE!!! Heh If it is good enough for a couple of rap stars to terrorize bikers and possibly brake some bones over it, it has to be good enough for you and your office?!

Were they part of the new construction? They tend to last longer than retrofit skylights.

Are you certain they are still watertight? They can leak along the roof truss, soaking insulation but not enough to appear inside your home.

Reminds me of an Adam Sandler skit called "Joining the Cult"...

[Sandler:] "Well, just, we'll ask then, but we gotta join now."

[Allen:] "What's the hurry?"

[Sandler:] "There's a girl I wanna meet there, what the f**k's your problem?"

[Allen:] "Well, I mean I don't really have to believe in this stuff, do I?"

[Sandler:] "No, no, just f**kin' tell everybody you believe in this shit -- when they say the sun sucks, go, "Yeah, f**k the sun, I f**kin' hate it too, long live the f**kin' beast."

[Allen:] "I don't know, man. This is crazy."

[Sandler:] "Look, they're gonna give you clothers, a free haircut, you're gonna get food --"

[Allen:] "-- it's not gonna be one of those weird haircuts, is it?"

[Sandler:] "It's gonna be a haircut, all right? You said you need a haircut, they're gonna f**kin' cut your hair. You're going in, saving twelve bucks, just f**kin' do it!"

[Allen:] "Do you think the hot girl has a friend for me?"

[Sandler:] "Yeah, sure, and if she doesn't, she'll go out and recruit one for you!"

Very funny link. Especially the review by Bob Dole.
