I just downloaded 350 MB from Steam at 10.6 MB/s according to their download manager. Not really a big enough file to verify sustained speeds but damn quick nonetheless. With the low cost of some games, I'm not worried about losing them 5 years from now because of some DRM bullshit, but I am...

Cox Communications is a private company and it seems to me to be one of the least shitty cable companies out there. And unlike ATT, Comcast and Verizon they didn't "degrade" Netflix or allowed it to go to crap through shitty peering agreements. Cox is small compared to the big boys thought...

Looks like my upload speed didn't change. :(( I'll have to download some huge file(s) on a FAST server to verify that I'm really getting 100 mb/s and not just some "powerboost" temporary speed increase bullshit. Yes I'm happy.

Dell clearing out the old inventory in preparation for something better???

It's going to be a cold one this week. Lows all the way down to 88.

That's a good problem to have. I'm stuck at 38".

Do you have a Microcenter store near by? Now that these things are available in B&M retail stores the price should start to drop relatively soon.

Yep and yep to both above posts. Plenty of coyotes around here as well of course. I almost ran one over while pulling into my driveway a few months ago. I live about a mile from open desert and see them all the time. Keeps the wild bunny rabbits in check. The coyotes around here aren't...

You know what sucks about sitting on the porch at 11pm and watching the rain and listen and seeing the thunder and lightning...Having to go back into the house cause it's still too goddamn hot outside.

I'm hoping this is a test Newegg is doing to check the feasibility of extending the options. Why not the TOP 50 hard drives and list make/model info for each. -or- If I wanted to piece out a system (or help a friend), buy all the parts and build it myself this website tool could be awesome...

Well that was just the least amount of time in my life where I went from, "Holly shit, that's a cool idea" to "Well that's bullshit" /facepalm From the above link I thought you could configure a system using any part that Newegg sells, but it looks like it's just a tiny selection on "generic"...

iBUYPOWER and Newegg Launch Live Configurator. Read about it here. "The best thing to happen to enthusiast PC gaming July 8, 2014, City of Industry, CA – iBUYPOWER and Newegg are proud to announce an amazing new way to get the best components you want without having to deal with the hassles...

+1 If you want crazy fast just watch the motorcycle videos of the same course. 180+

It raining in the Valley of Fiery Hell (aka Phoenix metro area) tonight. 110 the day before and now light rain*. Dropped our low all the way down to 75...downright chilly for this time of the year. *Rain in AZ in not like Florida or Washington state rain. Were talking very light drizzle...

My guess would be the in-store salesmen said SD would get delivery, install, setup, cappuccino and possibly a hand-job, but he really only got delivery. And it was sign the paper NOW or no delivery, PERIOD. Like when your food isn't perfect, you don't bitch because they'll return with...

Would you even notice the improvement over an 840pro? Wheres our 512 GB bootable PCIe SSD thats "reasonably" priced?

13k is cheap? I guess cheap as compared to 2-4 years ago. I'm guessing 2015. I'd probably wait till the new HDMI and DP specs are established and shipping before I would drop coin on a 4k computer monitor. But I do want a larger size. 32" (31.5") is just not that much of a jump up in size...

Were not 100% happy with the performance of the current system, but it is more than good enough to not have to worry about that part of the install. I simply closed the vents into a closet and utility room and that was enough to balance out the system. --one bedroom was always 3-5 degrees...

Just a FYI. Site seems to be running a bit slow at the moment. Like 15-30 seconds to server requests. Around the exact time as my OP in March. Daily maintenance maybe?

I suspected as much. Kinda like the BBB where the company has to pay like $5k or $8k or whatever it is to be "eligible" for a AAA+ rating. That's exactly my fear Chewy. If you get screwed on a warranty for a $500 item it sucks, but you move on. Getting screwed on a $5000 item is much more...

Is this 84" TV the largest 4k TV generally available? Just wondering.

Weird. Earlier today I went "Tools>add-ons" then typed "lightbeam" in the search box (upper right), found the Lightbeam add-on and installed it. No problem. Looks interesting. But just now I did the same thing and got a dialog that says "Could not find any matching add-ons" ... weird. Is...

Much like Chewy I've been running NoScript and AdBlockPlus for years. I added Ghostery a few months ago. It's amazing to see how much crap runs "behind the scenes" on web sites. I allow cookies but I check Keep Until "Ask me every time" so I only allow cookies for the few sites that are...

I'm most worried about getting a quality unit installed correctly than cost. I guess, I'm actually more concerned with finding a decent repair tech/company that is honest. I never really thought about it before but you really need to add $50/month ($600/year) to your monthly energy costs when...

Thanks again for the additional tips. I have my research to do. Just hope this baby holds out till the end of the summer.

Thanks for the replies and suggestions. I have a LOT of research and reading to do. 1) No family friend in the A/C business. Just remembered, Duh, that brother-in-law fixes/repairs/installs elevators so he must have some advice I can use. Also I was talking with a guy at work who says we...

Like the subject says...I need any and all advice as far as central A/C for a house. Two bed/Two bath house, 1200 square feet. I live where it's HOT!!!!!!!!!!!!1111111111eleven!!!111!! 5+ months of the year. Considerations: 1) Not be ripped off. 2) Five+ years where were not paying...

LMAO. Really. I was going to suggest the same thing.

"Der Link ist nicht mehr gültig" Man, nothing is working for me. LMAO.

My problem got fixed but I'm not sure what I did. Reinstalled Firefox. Nope. I went into "about:config" and typed "SSL" in search box, and reset all user defined values back to default. But that didn't work. Restarted everything. Zip. Googled around and noticed the CreditCarma site didn't...

Yeah I figured it's working for everybody else. Seems my security certificate(s) or settings or whatever is/are borked with no obvious solution to fix things. I agree with you about FB but pop and his wife are still gonna keep using it. So that has to work, and it doesn't with Firefox...

Well Firefox is up to version 30.0 now and I still get this error message..... An error occurred during a connection to www.schneier.com. Cannot communicate securely with peer: no common encryption algorithm(s). (Error code: ssl_error_no_cypher_overlap) ...when trying to connect to...

I still use Firefox, but it's been a PITA lately. 1) I get the "Firefox is already running/can't start another instance" error. You have to load task manager, end process, then you can load firefox. 2) Sites like https://www.schneier.com/ come up with "Secure Connection Failed". 3)...

Anand takes a look at the new PCIe Intel SSD here.

Do people actually trust "re-certified" hard disk drives to be as good and reliable as the original? If a drive dies after 30 months of a 36 month warranty, the warranty on the replacement is only for the remainder of the original 36 month warranty correct? I wonder if vendors take this into...

When I mouse over that link it shows the correct site. But.... The link itself is AFU. The actual link is "http://http://truecrypt.sourceforge.net/" which is bad. I guess we can put a fork in another "security" product.

My impressions from all the AIO/HSF reviews I've read are... If low noise is the most important factor a large "conventional" HSF with large slower moving fans is your best bet (assuming your case has good airflow). If you are/will be overclocking your CPU an AIO cooler can be quieter than the...

Summer is here folks. At least in my little slice of hell. It's going to be 108 on Tuesday. 42c in May sucks. I'm hoping it doesn't actually get that hot.

Are they single tile (SST) 60 Hz @ 3840x2160? I thought all the current, first generation 4k IPS monitors were (DST) 1920x2160x2 @ 60 Hz? I'd wait till the new/improved HDMI and DP standards are finalized and shipping and the monitor itself support SST, 60Hz @ 4k rez before I drop my cash.

Imagine a setup where a "pro" has a 4k monitor AND a color calibrated IPS monitor. Does all the image prep work on the 4k...large image, lots of work room for toolbars, extra windows, whatever. Then drags the final image over to the calibrated monitor for final color work. And only $600 for...

I would say that the TN panels of today suck a lot less than the TN panels of 10 years ago. The underlying technology may be the same but the implementation is better perhaps. So from a few reviews I've read/seen on Youtube..."Hey this things not bad, for a TN panel" stands. This is a decent...

It is a TN panel. But from reports a decent TN panel. Maybe not a monitor for "professional" color work but a 4k, 60 Hz, SST display for $600 ain't bad. Plus this will help drive down the price of IPS units that will be out by 2015.

We're sorry, your search for "32020396" matched 0 products. :scratch:

$700 These are getting cheap. SST via DP. Tempting but as was mentioned by DD above 28" is a bit small for 8.3MP. If this thing was 36" I'd buy it now at twice the price. Edit: $600 here.

Firefox. Now with DRM. I guess they couldn't hold out forever. From the linked ars article, "The organization is partnering with Adobe to make the change. Mozilla will provide the hooks and APIs in Firefox to enable Web content to manipulate DRM-protected content, and Adobe will provide a...

No worries. I'm not offended in the least. Different strokes for different folks. You like what you like, etc, etc, etc. Ferris Bueller's Day Off is 28 years old and people still remember it. For any kid that dreamed of being cool in high school, Ferris Bueller was the coolest. Everybody...

Welcome to the Fractal Design Define R4 club. My R4 case pic here. Love the case. Great looks. Drive sleds are metal not cheap plastic like my Corsair 250D, very quiet even with four 140mm fans (two stock, two Corsair AF fans) and downright cheap in price. Win all the way around. I added a...
