Re: Shopping for a new 22-23inch monitor right now
if you can wait until end of year, dell.ca has some pretty good boxing day deals. i got a similar monitor (P2411HB) for around $190 with taxes and free shipping last year. obviously monitor prices have gone significantly lower since then: http://accessories.dell.com/sna/products/Monitors_Flat_Panel_...

[HELP] moving data to new drive
sorry for the n00b questions, but i've been out of the game for a long time... i basically built this server 4 years ago and have sadly neglected it since... one of the drives in my mirror died, so instead of just replacing it, i'm going to move the contents to a bigger drive and build a new mirror....

Re: No hot-dogs in Washington DC?
i love hot dogs from street vendors. i make it a point to try street meat wherever i go in north america (i didn't see too many hot dog stands in europe, :P) personally, i think the hot dogs from toronto are by far the best. obviously my bias comes from having grown up near toronto, but i'll give my...

if you want a highly portable reader and surfing device, I could see getting it. i would hardly consider the ipad to be highly portable.... highly portable = fits in my pocket... the ipad is definitely NOT portable in my eyes... at least for any man who doesn't carry a purse or man-bag.

clash of the titans was NOT filmed in 3D to begin with... it was filmed with regular-ass cameras and then converted afterwards due to pressure from avatar's success. that's why the release was delayed, to convert the film to 3D... bolted on like a cheap aftermarket turbo kit on a honda civic (no off...

... blah blah blah ... 2 gigs is too small for windows7. what makes it faster is the usage of large amounts of ram to speed up life. Ram is cheap, so are hookers in the Bronx, buy them both is what I do. well i was hearing all this stuff about win7 being great even on netbooks (typically 1GB RAM).....

win7 is definitely an improvement over XP... but like i still find nothing about it so compelling that would make me chuck XP if i hadn't received win7 for free from my school. i am just as happy now as i was a month ago running XP. it's like when cars come out with a "new" model that isn't the next...
