    What car should I buy for $4-5k?! (my first!)

    Neon ACR. I got first one for racing autocross. Never had a problem with first year model through 80,000 miles. Totalled first one and got replacement. Unbelievably fun. There's a reason why it dominates in autocross. Handling is seriously on completely different level from anything else...

    Ford announces it will build the new GT40!

    Thank you! Finding any 1600 x1200 wallpapers at all is hard enough. Finding good ones is impossible. This one is sweet!

    browser stats

    My boss likes to think that it's ok to only develop for IE. Doing so would make my life easier, however for some reason the fact that I know he is wrong bothers me. He likes to rattle off claims that Mac users, for example, are much more predominant than Netscape 4.x users. Does anyone know...

    Duron 700 SDR vs. P4 1.5 SDR

    I'm using it for web development (html, php, js, css, photoshop, ftp, browsers). I do quite a bit of multitasking. My experience has been exactly the same as your bro - PIV seems incredibly slow at switching between apps and just in general when lots of things going on. That's what prompted...

    Duron 700 SDR vs. P4 1.5 SDR

    An office mate of mine just got an awesome new G4 with OS X that he will be using instead of the crappy PIV 1.5 SDR that he was using. This means that his old PIV is up for grabs. Should I consider switching from my Duron 700@791 (stock cooler and no case fans - it's an office computer -...

    Radeon linux drivers

    Anybody have any information regarding when linux drivers might become available for Radeon? Should I stop waiting and cave in to the GeForce2 Mx despite its inferior image quality and the uncooperative position Nvidia has taken while making their linux drivers?
