Nice...

It was fixed before. I'm not sure how it changed back.

Cable companies aren't exactly know for overdelivering. It goes against their business model of providing the least / worst possible service they can without losing too many customers.

Mexico of course. :p I should have refused to eat from a fairly large roadside taco stand (well... large for a roadside stand anyhow). I almost did, but changed my mind at the last minute after my coworker and rep were already eating. :(

Montezuma's Revenge is serious stuff. ARGH!!!! :mad:

I get just about 7Mbit/sec down and 512kbit/sec upload here (bypassing wireless) from RoadRunner via BrightHouse Networks. I think that's what I'm supposed to get. Oh, and your IP is showing in that screenshot.

Are you paying for the premium / faster internet?

Your shadows called. They miss you. :p

I'm pretty sure Tesla does not use A123 cells. The A123 cells are very safe, but they're power density isn't any better NiMH, so I don't really see what there is to get excited about.

Oh yes, everything about GM's EFLEX program is top secret. Like the codename even. :rolleyes:

The cheap Chinese BD players are right around the corner. According to a semiconductor magazine I was reading the BDA is working closely with about 10 Chinese companies to help them get BD players out the door.

Tesla is, and probably all of the major car companies are planning to also. The current crop of Hybrids don't, but they will soon enough. They are perfectly safe if you take proper care of them. From what I've seen the car companies are planning to monitor each cell individually (just like a...

Isn't this somewhat old news? There was a fire at a LG Chem plant some time back. Then this has been going on.

I've got two of these. It's not a good sign to see 'em failing. :(

They're pretty nice laptops. Not the cheapest, but they're quality.

While I don't share Santilli's apparent view of the entire stock market, Apple stock defies logic. Their stock is overpriced by an order a magnitude for their sales and what they do. I would definitely steer clear of gambling with Apple.

OCZ Core Series SSD Vs VelociRaptor, Sneak Peek!

If I have any say in the matter I will never live in a dwelling that shares common walls with another unit again.

Apparently Uda sidelines as a financial adviser and Apple fanboy. I guess we need an Op/Ed section here for his posts. :p

Can't you hack a bunch of the Canon P&S's to get RAW files out of them?

Sorry, I don't do quicktime.

Who cares? It's a pile...

You folks are a bunch of lightweights with your RAID arrays. Check out this guy.

And, you're still a socialist. You want the potential of equal outcomes for everyone. You want everyone to have an equal chance. You want people to be rewarded fairly based on their work. You don't think it's fair that some people thrive under the rules of the current system while others...

Lets start by getting rid of all the social programs like Social Security, Medicare, Medicade, welfare, WIC, Food Stamps, then we can talk about the gas tax and highway subsidies which relatively speaking are in the noise. We can also get rid of all the gov't propping up of ethanol, wind...

It must be nice to live in a delusional utopia. You truly are a socialist.

More "low end" competition.

Yeah, but the background is hardly blurred, so I'm not sure bokeh is the right word to talk about the quality of the non blurry backgrounds.

Call me when they extend the warranty to something reasonable. When you buy a SSD you're buying something that has a fixed life cycle. A SSD will stop working correctly after some number of writes. A HD has no such limitation.

You pretty much hit the nail on the head. The gov't has been tampering with the housing market for a long time (through Fannie and Freddie suppressing interest rates on high risk people and loose fiscal policies creating easy / cheap credit) and now they try to pretend they had no part in the...

That's kind of the implied conclusion of having the gov't tell people where they can and can't live and taking away their cars and making them use public transportation.

I guess you have golden ears. :rolleyes:

It is not really a private company. It's a gov't run company that is private held. You can't blame the "private" aspect of it on it's failure. The gov't aspect is responsible for it's failure. I don't care if they helped or not. They have no business doing that. Helping people into a house...

It's failing because it's gov't run, not because the gov't didn't run it enough. Freddie and Fannie had all sorts of advantages no private bank had. They effectively had access to an unlimited money supply at lower rates than any other bank, they're immune from regulation / oversight by the...

Congress never thinks very far down the road. They're legislation always has unintended consequences. Look at Welfare, Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, Immigration, Freddie & Fannie, etc, etc, etc... They all have solvency problems, or some big gotcha that was never foreseen that comes...

But despite all that somehow yet again the solution to rampant gov't failure is more gov't? :confused:

What??? :confused:

Not sure, but there are a few concerts out there on Blu.

That's not bokeh. That's a lack of bokeh you're complaining about.

However, the use of an apostrophe to remove ambiguity of a plural abbreviation is allowed. Hence the apostrophe is actually ok. link

Why? Did Charles Chuck-U Schumer release an open letter to start a run on them too? No bank can withstand a run on it, so these rumors are going to be self fufilling prophecies if the public believes them. Given the frenzy the media has the public in, I'd say it's likely we're going to see a...

Because the ranting nature of it seemed more fitting to the P&B.

AVG8 did the same thing too. You must have missed it since you had it on your PC for such a short time. FWIW, Avira seems to slow down my PC less than AVG.

Because they have paying customers too.

The hardware firewalls are IP based. They don't have to be just for the internet. However, a Linksys like firewall may noticeably slow down the traffic to that PC.

Isn't that what pretty much all of the wonderful little linksys router boxes do?

Run noscript and avoid those problems. :rolleyes:

The consensus on this one (from people who've driven the "ring") is that the 'vette driver while good isn't a "ring" expert. Add to that the GT-R wasn't a North American production model. It was a mix of Japanese, European, and American versions. So, it's a little early to read too much into...

:confused: I do? :confused:

Pretty bold statements for someone who hasn't handled either camera, and is forming his opinion on one of then based solely on rumors posted on a dpreview forum.
