Hi Guys, I'm in the mood to purchase an external HDD, for when I'm at LAN's. Reasons are twofold, 1, I'm now using a laptop for gaming, so HDD space is limited. (I can't be bothered carting around my main PC to a LAN anymore). 2, I can just share drive around and have it connect locally to...

Just purchased this album on the weekend and have been listening to it more today... A pretty good album, very different, very conceptual in it's nature. Having just finished watching/listening to "NIN: Beside you in Time" DVD, I found "Year Zero" to be very industrial in it's sound, and...

Hi Guys, The fan on my gfx card has decided to start whining... (a really high pitched whine, pretty sure it's a dead bearing or something)... It's gotten to a point, that I think the fan is ready to die a spinning death... Its an Asus A9600XT/TVD/128M (an ATi R9600XT w/VIVO w/128MB)...

Warning: This is going to be a mini-rant about the current Vista vs Apple vs Linux vs *BSD crap going on. I don't know if it's because I'm feeling like crap today (mild dose of the flu), or sh*tty customers or I've been reading to much slashdot? But I've come to the realisation, Who gives a...

Hi Guys, Does anyone know who makes the McDonald's Chocolate fudge topping they use on their sundaes? I've hunted around on the 'net and can't find a definite answer. I know here in Australia, it used to be IXL, but since they were purchased by SPC Foods, they stopped making the topping...

Well, with Christmas upon us, I've finally decided to get myself an mp3 player as a present for myself. I've looked around, but with the market now flooded with different models, not too sure what's good, what's crap and what will work with my setup... Most reviews don't focus on the nitty...
