Try management. It's got to be easier!

Tomorrow is Christmas Eve. How does Santa get down the chimney if he's eating all of those delicious cookies?

**karl_eller** · 12-23-2008, 04:50 AM

He doesn't. My Flakpanzer shot him down before he got anywhere near my chimney.

I need to stop playing so much Company of Heroes.

E7200, running on a stock quad heatsink with a cheap Codegen PSU. At stock hits about 55-60C (depending on ambients). Should I upgrade the PSU or heatsink first?

Eller

**inCore** · 12-23-2008, 05:01 AM

The PSU, no use having a shiny new heatsink if your CPU blew up, along with your motherboard, possibly your graphics card, your RAM, your harddrive decided to give up too and then to top it off, your case imploded out of spite.

Get the PSU.

Did you know that one of the main concerns of Swiss citizens, in a recent official study, is that we have too many laws?

**karl_eller** · 12-23-2008, 05:05 AM

Wouldn't surprise me. Switzerland can be fairly strict at times, from what I've heard.

Rackmount, regular cases, or bare on shelves?

Eller

If it takes a relativistic time warp for the Santa to make all the deliveries in one night, is Albert Einstein actually Santa?

**G.Foyle** · 12-23-2008, 08:57 AM

No, it's definitely not him. Santa existed before ALbert Einstein, and they have even been seen simultaneously in two different places. Of course, Santa could have bilocation, but Einstein didn't.

Which household device is the most amazing?

Eller

**inCore** · 12-24-2008, 01:48 AM

No, why would I promise something that I know I won't be able to stick to anyways.

Do you open your presents on the 24th, in the evening, or on the morning of the 25th?

If you're completely confused by my question, did you know that we Finnish people open our presents on the 24th?
