    EVDO used for redundant connection?

    wow that's something i didn't even think of. on pokerstars i think they allow like 45-60 seconds to reconnect though, so i would think that *should* be enough but i dunno what changing the IP itself would do. i probably should e-mail their support and see...although i'd be really surprised if i...

    EVDO used for redundant connection?

    i considered that, but given how much more they cost it wasn't that attractive to me. the other problem is don't they just credit outages based off the monthly rate? from what i've seen i know they "guarantee" 99.9%+ uptime, but even outages that last a minute or two is enough to cost me...

    EVDO used for redundant connection?

    Is this possible? I work from home and my cable company's service has generally been beyond terrible. I have no other options where I live and outages cost me a lot of $$ during working hours, so I absolutely need to do something different. My question is can I just buy an EVDO router and...

    Warm deal - 74 GB WD Raptors for 119 at BB

    That's what I do. Works great. :) This really is a great deal on an awesome drive. I'm really tempted to pick up another. Oh and another thing for anybody considering this drive. The warranty is awesome. 5 years is better than you'll get on any other drives. Mine started to die a week or...

    22" Widescreen Samsung LCD $364 @ Circuit City

    A friend of mine got one during the BF deals. The backlight issue is definitely there...but it wouldn't bother me enough to pass this one up. If only this thing would do 1200 vertical, I'd be in. Guess I'm stuck waiting for another deal on the Dell 24". :(

    Hmmm looks like they just changed the processor back to a Celly M. Weird. Glad I got in before the change. :)

    1GB 50X SD card $19.99 no rebates

    So when exactly does the speed become an issue? I'm looking for a nice 1gb card for my Treo....would a 50x card be fine for music, movies, etc.?

    12v and 5v reading too high?

    I know that's the next thing I need to get around to. But just for fun...if it turns out the 5V reading is correct...would that cause restarts like I'm getting?

    12v and 5v reading too high?

    Well a week or two ago we were hit with a pretty bad lighting storm...and like the idiot I am :) I had one of those s#!tty power strips that do practically nothing for surges. Anyways...our power cycled on and off a few times while my rig was running. After the power came back on I tried to...

    Secondary Hard Drive asking to be formatted?

    I just finished a new build...and I moved all the files I wanted over to my secondary drive before stripping down my old machine. Everything is working fine...but the secondary drive is now asking to be formatted whenever I try to access it. It was previously formatted in NTFS and when I got to...

    Decent, Inexpensive Tube amp?

    Yes I did leave out a few details...that's what I get for trying to post after a few too many beers. :) I play mostly harder rock...but I've been recently venturing into some blues a little bit. Although, the primary reason for me wanting a tube amp is that the clean channel on every solid...

    Why are you still up?

    Playing poker... Bad news is I'm getting sucked out on over and over again... Good news is I'm still just about even after such suckouts(I guess that's good news)...
