[H] Dual Keyboards
Have a media center/family pc in the family room. When they are doing school projects, etc, at the computer they use a ergonometric style wired keyboard. Late at night, I would like to use an MCE (wireless)Keyboard from the couch. I have dabbled a little with not much success having both connected. Could/should should they work together or must I reboot and install some type of KVM switch? Thanks Bob

Re: [H] -OT- Gas
$2.90 for B20 biodiesel in MetroDC Diesel is generally higher than regular gas - WTF? Diesel pricing follows no trend, nor demand since it's the equiv of heating oil (which has ZERO demand here in this festering swamp).
RE: [H] -OT- Gas
Diesel has high demand in Europe. When you take oil to make gas you always get gasoline and diesel, you can affect the proportion but it will still be there. So that means the extra diesel produced from the gas used by the US goes to Europe, hence the demand for it, plus the proportion of the diesel being made may be less lowering supply.

RE: [H] -OT- Gas
You make it seem like it's a political move, that somehow the oil industry wants the GOP to stay in power. Its obvious that the high price of oil earlier in the year was caused by the instability of the middle east causing fear and speculation which has all been solved. Just look what Mike O'Connor said: The reason prices are going down so far so fast is that they shouldn't have been that high in the first place. Two reasons they were: fear and speculation, says Mike O'Connor, president of the Virginia Petroleum, Convenience and Grocery Association.

RE: [H] -OT- Gas
That's how it's always been. However diesel has historically been dirt cheap in times of peak jihad. Back when Beverly Hills residents were filling up 93 octane @ $4.04 per gallon in May I was pumping regular low sulfer diesel @ 2.89. In fact, diesel has been under 2.60 (national average) during peak summer demand and only now has there been a rise. Diesel is a fixture in Europe, nothing has really changed here. If anything, it's slowly losing a small share to autogaz as they call it in east europe.

RE: [H] -OT- Gas
It helps when you have brilliant capitalists like Hugo Chavez making sure anti-american setiment stays strong by supporting the jihadist piglets. Yeah yeah Hugo, we really believe your ambitions in the other hemisphere are diplomatic in nature to combat the great american satan. Nope nothing to do with the fact you are about to cut a huge, risky deal with China, hedging that the potentially devestating costs of shipping your crude across the Pacific Ocean will be offset by outrageously high oil prices continuing to be outrageously high. Chavez must have added a few more BUSH IS THE DEVIL statements to his UN speech for good measure when he saw oil prices drop just under $60 a barrel.
