    Which state has the best BBQ?

    I spent four months flying back and forth between Birmingham and Fort Worth. I gave Dreamland several tries, and it was mediocre at best. I can name at least 3 BBQ establishments within 10 miles of where I lived in Forth Worth that were far better, IMHO.

    WTF, how much meat do Americans eat?

    Caloric moderation increases lifespan, not protein moderation specifically, and you need to put "increased lifespan" into context. It does not necessarily equate to optimal health and quality of life. http://www.marksdailyapple.com/fasting-longevity-lifespan/ There is no "common sense"...

    Need help finding a range expander - how about a linksys BEFW11S4 as a repeater??

    Since they are cheaper and support DD-WRT that's the route I would recommend. Plus, you would have a backup router on hand at all times. Here is the guide for installing DD-WRT on the WRT54GL (newest available on Newegg): http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Linksys_WRT54GL Here is the guide...

    I see no reason to go thru the setup complexity and added point of failure of a PC-based firewall when DD-WRT access restrictions should do the trick. K.I.S.S. http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Access_Restrictions ...assuming you have a compatible router. If not, the ASUS WL-520gU is only...

    Help, need some router suggestions...

    Interesting - you don't have a debit card (linked to your checking account)? It can be used to buy things online just the same as a credit card - in the fact the transaction will even be processed like a credit (non-PIN) transaction - it will just debit your checking account, and it has the...

    CryEngine3 3-5 times Crysis

    No, they did the same thing for the original Crysis. http://www.incrysis.com/forums/viewtopic.php?id=18017 ...and UE3 pales miserably in comparison to Cryengine. One need only to spend 15 minutes in the Sandbox or on Crymod.com to realize this, let alone playing thru Crysis on High/Very...
