    BSOD...noooo

    We see this a lot @ the office. Are you running symantec firewall + AV products and roxio. If so the *mp3.dll in the system 32 directory needs to be set to NOT read only or deleted.

    Compusa Independence Mo. store closing

    IIRC, that store was in a horrible location. I did some similar Civil Engineering work in the area it is in a floodplain. I miss the area. :(

    Klipsch Promedia 2.1 or GMX 2.1a

    Get the regular 2.1's. Totally worth it. The GMX speakers are crap compared to the regular 2.1's. I own the 2.1's and sound excellent.

    Comcast to move to 8Mbps

    I tried to upgrade for 3 hours today. I have the basic (local) channels and that's it. They told me I'd have to pay $10/month more plus $50 more for "expanded basic" or whatever. I told them to cancle my service. I now run DSL with 896 up. The upload is all I wanted.

    New York City Transit Strike 12-20-2005

    I think people are jealous of these workers. I get a retirement, health benefits and so on. If my company were to say, "we're taking that away" sure I'd be mad. Just because YOU don't get a retirement, don't complain about those fighting for what is right. Firing people who get paid more to...

    Dual-Link DVI GFX Card

    Meh I had a 9600XT and I had all sorts of weird driver issues. I'm also a linux nut so Nvidia is my choice. This is why we live in a country where we can choose! :) We argue amongst eachother but each day I'm proud to have served to allow me and everyone else to argue! I also looked a XFX...

    Dual-Link DVI GFX Card

    Why are newegg's, XFX and BFG's specs not equating to the 2650x1600 but rather something like 2048x1xxx? Will newegg take a card back if it doesn't really have the Dual-link DVI? I can be guranteed with the ATI product that I get Dual-Link but I've had driver issues in the past and I like to...

    Dual-Link DVI GFX Card

    I've just purchased an Apple Cinema 30" display for my powermac. I need to upgrade my graphics card in my PC to support the massive resolution. I was looking on newegg and it shows all the 7800GTX cards only having single-link dvi. Anandtech did a review on the gefen dual-link dvi using a 7800...
