unfortunately, the people in power get elected by telling people that there is plenty of oil and energy out there for them to keep pumping into their SUVs, and living as lavishly and wastefully as possible... after all, isn't this the meaning of freedom? people will never accept having their freedom...

i keep getting that after i installed a linksys bluetooth adapter and try to go to "bluetooth exchange folder"... a search on google for "bluetooth+exchange+folder+data+execution+protection" yields nothing... strange...

If a word like "glock" is banned, now your banning words, where does it stop? You know general motors made guns for a short while many years ago? Sorry, no chevy shirts. hahaha... true... chrysler and GM both made tanks in WW2, so did mercedez-benz... IBM makes computer components for missiles. gen...

Funny you say that. My favorite lunchbox growing up was my Rambo (II) lunchbox, with him holding an Browning M60 (the big gun). And I also drew pictures of army guys and fighter jets and all that stuff. .... It's a wonder we didn't all shoot/poison/stab/crush/kill ourselves when we were kids, witho...

if anyone is interested in getting the real deal (P3 international), there's a very reputable seller on eBay who can sell you one for about $25 USD with shipping included... that's where i got mine... that's really only if you care about the brand... i haven't heard anything about the crappy-tire ve...

silence is in the ear of the beholder (listener?)....

Also, this SUV thing I'll never understand. People around here seem to think you need an SUV for a couple reasons: it's good in the snow , and it holds lots of people. Oh yeah, and it holds lots of stuff. I think people have forgotten that cars can do just about everything people do with their SUVs...

Crazy stuff... I'm always shocked by stories of kids driving around at 15 and 16 in the US. Here, you have to be 17 to get a learner's licence... they may be upping the limit to 18 or 21 over the next few years. [off topic] i find it a little ass-backwards that kids are deemed "responsible" enough ...

Fuuny thing is if you look at big bikes the percentages improve but the numbers are still pretty bad. Now you could attempt to travel on a skateboard with a 50cc 2 cycle engine, but we would all choke to death overnight. 2 cycle engines and carbs should have been outlawed by now for all vehicles an...

herman li IS cool... plus he's got nerd credibility since he used to be a unix system admin...

it's nice to see a sensibly sized car being made for a reasonable price... i hope it takes off... imo, the fundamental problem with cars is their size... you have over 1000-2000kg of steel, carrying 60-100kg of flesh and bones... doesn't sound very efficient to me... it doesn't matter what kind of p...

SPCR only tested with low bit rate HD video files and not Blu-ray or HD-DVD discs; the difference is of a very large magnitude. This board wouldn’t come close to handling commercial HD discs without a decent CPU or VGA card.. really? the reviews gave me the impression that those tests were an ade...

SPCR recently reviewed some mATX motherboards from asus that had HDMI outputs AND integrated graphics that could handle H.264 and VC-1 encoded files... if you don't already have a motherboard, you can save youself a couple of bucks...

i don't think the board members are brainwashed by antec... the last time i looked into a case, lian-li was significantly more expensive than any antec model...

antec cases are, for the most part, better value....

i went to the corsair tech support forum and "ram guy" says that he suspects my PSU isn't enough for my system... he recommends at least 450W... is it possible for a PSU to damage RAM? i can't possibly see how. i've had no system shutdowns due to bad power or anything like that... my trusty kill-a-w...

Have you tried the RAM on its own , i.e. the only stick in the system.? And have you tested it in another system.? You would have to be pretty unlucky to have 2 sticks of RAM become faulty in 2 different rigs with no common parts. Having used nothing but branded RAM for the last 5 years I have only...

how does a stick of RAM go from being fine one day, to giving me a blue screen one night, and showing thousands of errors in memtest? what happened? this is the second time my corsair memory has crapped out on me... i don't do any OC'ing or funny business... everything is stock speed and timing... e...

i recently had a faulty motherboard render my PSU useless. almost 100% sure it was because of the dead mobo.

Where did the extra $1500 go? it went to printing the apple logo on the side.... duh! :P honestly though, that doesn't seem that outrageous for a mac... you want to see something RIDICULOUS? http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/AppleStore.woa/wa/RSLID?nclm=96D4DAC9 think it's a typo? ch...

trans-siberian orchestra - what child is this?

just for your reference, i'm running my setup (see below) on a 380W seasonic... so if you want to save yourself a few bucks you can go for a lower wattage unit. the S12II-380 is supposedly one of the quietest PSUs tested at SPCR... see review here: http://www.silentpcreview.com/article753-page1.html...

They're easy enough to skip over if you don't like em... my brain has pretty much learned to filter out ads i see on the internet these days... once i add these to the filter list, they don't stand a chance... i don't really notice banners anymore, unless they're the 1990s-esque blinking text and b...

i don't mind ads... i understand that bills have to be paid, and mouths need to be fed... but the ads are just a TAD big for my liking... they're pretty intrusive... maybe SPCR can do a little bit of a PBS style membership drive... get some more "friends" and "patrons" on board... otherwise it's som...

AM2 was one of the biggest mistakes, imo... with core2 looming on the horizon at the time, why would they leave all of their 939 customers out in the dark? the whole 939/K8 era was what put AMD into the public eye... before that, only forum nerds like us knew AMD even existed... new socket, same arc...
