Santilli, do you benchmark your stuff before you really start using it? I'm wondering if some of your impressions of performance are skewed by your preconceptions based on benchmarks and what you think is important.

Anyone have any opinions on the panasonic zs3? It's only 720p video and in avhd lite but overall it seems like a real nice pocket camera/camcorder.

I'm very pleased to read this and hope that things continue to go well for you.

I'm wondering if there is a power supply problem. I've seen machines randomly reboot with PS that were failing.

Good luck and try to relax. At least try and enjoy yourself.

I tried finding Daemon tools but it seems to be paid software and is thought to include spyware now. Anyone know of something else that can mount an iso?

I'm looking to put my DVD's on my HTPC so that I don't have to swap disks whenever I want to watch a movie. I've found different programs to rip the disks and put them on my hard drive but I'm having difficulty figuring out the easiest way to play them. So far I'm ending up with the Audio and...

Thanks Fushigi, I did a little more research and noticed that the G1 uses webkit also; so it should be a similar browsing experience all around. I'd like to avoid the premium and locked down nature of the Iphone so I think it's out. I don't really have a carrier preference. Probably Tmobile or...

Does anyone have any experience with the G1? I've been to a couple of stores to look at them but they never have any working units. Only the dummies. I'd like to check it out before buying. I was also considering perhaps the Iphone 3GS or the Palm Pre. I'm mostly interested in the browsing...

It's probably cheaper just to buy a new laptop with the screen you want.

I don't know how one would explain it other than carelessness. Sometimes he throws in letters that are nowhere near each other or near the correct letter on the keyboard. It's something akin to a monkey mashing on a keyboard. I keep waiting for him to post some Shakespeare.

I ordered a diNovo, thanks for the heads up.

Does anyone have any keyboard mouse combo's they could recommend for an HTPC setup? I think I'm looking for a compact wireless keyboard, maybe something with a trackpad or the little IBM stick for a mouse. I've tried googling but I'm not coming up with exactly what I'm looking for.

I think I ran into this once when I installed the zune software on a machine. It insisted on creating a passport account that logged itself in. Just an idea.

Him being on a mind altering substance might actually explain most of his posts.

I'm not really sure how I feel about this. I can understand both sides of the argument and honestly if we're going to allow alcohol and cigarettes why not some other stuff. The only part that bothers me about your statement is who is going to pay for the medical bills when these people screw...

I heard he's keeping it 80 degrees in there. He's looking into getting a kiddie pool in the Oval Office and he wants everyone to bring their bathing suits to meetings!

Yup, and I'm sure republican's never get abortions.

Right, it's certainly not something limited to the Democrats.

In your insults and propaganda you still didn't prove how any of that led to 9/11.

Your opinion doesn't make this fact.

I guess that's different from the economy destroying agenda that's been put into place before?

How do you ignore him? I was trying to figure it out today and couldn't find it.

Might I suggest that he does this crap because you put up with it? He probably even enjoys it. If I were you, I would start with DD's suggestion. If someone did that to me, I would have jumped down his throat and burned that bridge. If necessary I would have taken CougTek's path.

I'm curious why you think McCain was a bad choice? I thought he was a good choice; they muffed it up when they added Palin to the ticket.

You're right, it has nothing to do with people being sick of the past administration. The Republican's have run a perfect administration the past 8 years, I can't believe they didn't win just because the Democrat was more charismatic.

Or maybe people are just tired of the huge deficit, the neverending war and no end in sight if the Republican's stayed in charge. You can claim that Obama was voted in because it was a popularity contest similar to American Idol but how do you explain so many Congress seats transferring to...

The last 8 years and your post are the clearest indication of that.

I didn't realize the grace period wasn't extended to everyone. That is pretty odd. They certainly didn't make it easy on themselves with all the various keys and start dates. At any rate, the game is still what I would consider beta with its various problems but I'm still enjoying it. I hope...

It sounds to me like your problem is really with Best Buy for not sending you your headstart key and for having expensive shipping. BTW The initial headstart that opened Sunday was for Collectors Edition purchasers. The special edition pre orders (which it sounds like you got) headstart opened...

I agree, they certainly have some interesting ideas. Some of the class mechanics have potential. A couple things that bother me are tabbing for targeting isn't reliable at all. There's no way to tell if your group mates are close enough to heal or not. I haven't found a way to tell what class...

Again, all I'm really seeing here is hearsay. Myself or my father have been a subscriber for years and I haven't noticed this "bias". Even if they were biased towards Honda, it wouldn't explain away their rating on the Prius. It seems to me that you're just making stuff up as you go along to...

CR uses depreciation, fuel costs, interest, insurance, maintenance and repair, and sales tax to come up with their cost over a 5 year period. Without going through the trouble to look it up I'm guessing since the Prius are very popular depreciation isn't much of a factor for them. For fuel they...

Unfortunately GM is the second worst in reliability according to Consumer Reports April 2008 issue (pg.18 ). Worse even than Volkswagon, only better than Mercedes Benz. Per Consumer Reports APR 2008 (pg.25), Toyota Yaris (manual) is least expensive to own over 5 years at $23,250 followed by the...

99.999% of all statistics are made up on the spot. I usually make it a point not to even read your posts but I somehow accidentally read this one. Piyono is saying the MacOS interface isn't intuitive and I would tend to agree with that. Windows OS isn't intuitive either but most people are used...

For someone who doesn't know the chip names is there a list somewhere of what cards are effected?

When I was with Comcast I had an address I never used. I checked it once when they claimed they sent something there and there were thousands of spam emails in it. I'm guessing spammers just send every possible permutation to all the popular domains.

When I first got my HDTV I was able to use an old pair of rabbit ears for picking up the digital channels just fine. of course I'm within 25 miles of several stations. What's the difference between a regular antenna and an HDTV antenna? I always just assumed it was standard marketing crap.

Any reason other than it being Vista that I shouldn't just use my technet to download Vista? They aren't making XP MCE available to me for some reason.

Any recommendation on where to get XP MCE? I see Newegg has a system builder version. Are there any real restrictions on that?

Yeah, unfortunately I don't have a cable long enough to run upstairs and to the server at the other end of the house. Thanks for the help and sorry for the trouble.

I'm guessing I was getting some kind of interference or something. I just set the wireless to channel 6 because the laptop was having trouble staying connected and when it came back I was able to find the server. Thanks for all your help. I appreciate it. I still can't see the other computers...

Everyone can connect to the internet. There's an exception in the firewall for sharing. None of the machines can ping eachother. I verified they have internet connection right after this and they do. There is no option for properties for the share in computer management. The only option is to...

It's FIOS and I'm using their modem/router. It's an Actiontec MI424WR Just the gaming machine is connected by cat5. The server and laptop both connect wirelessly. I plan on running a cable to the server but I have to move the router to a more central location to do that and then I would have to...

I currently have a 3 computer network at home. One computer I use as a file/print server and light internet browsing and gaming. My other desktop I use for heavy gaming and surfing. My laptop is used for very light gaming and the majority of web surfing and email. I also have an Xbox 360...

National pride, human interest, amazement at what the human body is capable of. These are just a few of the reasons I watch. I don't find most of these things any more pointless than porn, music, movies, tv, or politics.

I've been watching a fair amount at night. One of the frustrating things for me is they keep talking about how busy Phelps is and how many races he has to swim yet they insist on stopping him every chance they get to ask him stupid questions. My other problem has been with the gymnastics...

I guess that depends on who it's for. For the govt. it's generally fine.

I'd have to agree. For those reasons and that it lets you be sure she has a good PSU. It's also the piece that's likely to be useful the longest.

Fair enough, so why point out one specifically when he has little to nothing to do with the current situation?
