That must explain why they got a big premium over their closing price from Friday. :rolleyes:

That depends on what and how you're testing. Here a 7200 RPM laptop drive wipes the floor with some of the "slow" SSDs.

That depends on what you already own. It doesn't work with just anything.

My wife and I bought this one last year. The automatic ice maker is nice, but I'm not a big fan of the freezer. Basically, you can't put tall items in the freezer due to the doors and trays which can be annoying. I do like the in door water dispenser. It beats having to open the fridge to...

Also, if you're planning to do your off grid experiment in a reasonably short time frame buying high end appliances is a waste of money. I'd look at http://www.consumersearch.com/ for help finding the right appliances.

You can't really go off-grid with normal appliances. Propane is your friend if you're trying to be off-grid.

It's coming! Another teaser

nVidia won't admit to it, so no one knows for sure.

Yeah, it's called an X-ray. You'll need to see your doctor to get one though.

I'm pretty sure he was talking about his foot, not the HD.

I think they just stop working due to a failure of the solder balls under the BGA.

FWIW, I've had good luck with Directron in the past the few times I ordered from them. I haven't had any issues with supermediastore either, but I've only ordered less expensive items from them.

Guessing, dictionary attack, testing all possibilities? Is it a long e-mail address, or only a few letters before the @ sign?

Did someone forget their meds today?

A very large group of people should get together and all make sure they use their 250GB per month. Teach Comcast a lesson...

I'll take one! :D

That's because they didn't let John Edwards come to town.

I also found this.

I'm not sure. I'd take a look at the HTPC forum on AVSforum if I were you.

Perfect. Just put them on the self and leave them alone until they come by to check on them.

You can't change the sound device in Vista like you can in XP? (I've never used it)

No idea, I don't run it. If you don't have a video card with audio processing (ATI ones) I don't see how it could be a requirement.

Of course it can play back audio. I use co-ax SPDIF from my PC for HD-DVD and Blu-Ray audio. Where did you get the idea that it can't?

I will be very, very, very unhappy if there isn't a 5D MkII coming out along side the 50D. :mad:

Yes, it does.

I'd buy a used car. Probably a domestic though since you can get ones that are only a few years old for dirt cheap, until Honda and Toyota's which are 10+ years old and still expensive.

I have an excel spreadsheet with my fuel economy all the way back to when I bought it.

Have them delete out all their attachments and save those into a folder on the C drive or network.

Heheh... You got that one right.

I thought they ended up working at Home Depot? :p

Why not just use the Pir8 Bay?

I didn't mind all the Phelps coverage. I could do without all the coverage of the Chinese athletes and teams.

It is... You just need an antenna with good UHF. Rabbit ears are better at VHF than UHF.

I'm just reporting what I've read and have experienced. I found they did not work very well, even very close to the towers (~5 miles). A small antenna like the Zenith Silver Sensor on the other hand worked very well.

I'm not so sure what your options are at >30 miles. I'd tend to favor putting a large mast type antenna aimed at the towers in your attic.

How far are you from the towers? Most TVs use external antennas. I've only ever seen a few that had rabbit ears attached to them. I'd take a look at http://www.antennaweb.org/aw/welcome.aspx if I were you.

FWIW, I've read that rabbit ears don't work very well for receiving ATSC digital signals... There are "smallish" LCDs out there. You will probably want a slightly larger widescreen set to keep your 4:3 viewing area the same. And, what specifically was wrong with the sets that you linked to at...

That's another option.

Why do you want a small LCD TV? The beauty of HD is that you can have a big LCD TV and get a much more enjoyable viewing experience.

No, there's another week of it.

Apostrophes are not as badly used as you think. They're acceptable to show pluralization of abbreviations. So, LCD's, or TV's, or PhD's, and that type of thing is acceptable. That said the random "quotes" is definitely mind boggling.

All I know is a DVR comes in very handy when dealing with watching the olympics. You can watch 4-5 hours of primetime coverage in under 1 hour.

I have a XP Pro 32-bit system with 4GB of RAM. XP doesn't use all of only 3.5GB, but I don't care. Everything I read said to avoid using the /3G switch.

The machines sound like they have some disk IO subsystem problem, or some sort of drive encryption that makes 'em really slow. My work laptop was a speed demon prior to getting PGP Desktop's drive encryption put on it. Now it's a complete and total dog.

Man these posts are so good I gotta read 'em twice! Are you sure DMA or the equivalent for the SATA HD's is enabled on 'em?

:confused: Who??? :confused:

Oh sure, that's clearly who would be attracted to voting for a celebrity, not the people who are already voting for a celebrity or anything.

That's her response to the ad that McCain put on you tube that showed her picture for all of about 1 second. No, she's not really running for president.

Absolutely not.

Supposedly it's only the mobile parts.
