Java, I think you should send it to me.

Google Reader users - is there a way to tell it not to include friends' shared items in the Unread count?

I use Google Reader, but I have no friends. :(

My computer parts arrived today! Sadly, I will have no time to assemble them until next week. A quick question while I'm thinking of it: Thermal paste... Should I use it? My last processor came with a small tube, but this one did not. Should I try and find the three year old tube and use what's leftover?

Really, it didn't come with thermal paste? Is there maybe a pad on the bottom of the heat sink or something? A retail processor should have something.

If it was a boxed Intel processor that includes a heat sink then you should see a thermal pad already on the bottom of the heat sink.

Yeah, there are some paddy looking things on the bottom. So no need for paste, then?

Yep, you should be good.

I am suddenly curious about thermal paste.
