"I will spend my last dying breath if I need to, and I will spend every penny of Apple's $40 billion in the bank, to right this wrong. I'm going to destroy Android, because it's a stolen product. I'm willing to go thermonuclear war on this."...

=( That's pretty horrible how the animals are conscious after the cut is made. I eat meat but dang...

I was taking pictures of the super-moon tonight and I couldn't believe my eyes...a mouse popped out of a crater!

I've shot Fiocchi 55gr .223 ammo through my AR with no problems. I assume you're referring to the discoloration on the brass case that makes the ammo look reloaded? That's a normal effect of the annealing process: http://www.carolinamarksman.com/annealing-cartridge-cases.html I have Federal...

Congrats! How's the campus looking these days? I haven't been back since 2008...

Crutchfield is also a reputable dealer. Their prices are generally higher than other places but they offer discounts when lens/accessories are purchased with a body (for DSLRs). Customer service is also top-notch.

In brief, they are the Logitech F310 (base), F510 (F310+rumble), F710 (F510+wireless) controllers. In an earlier post I mentioned I have been using the F510 - so far so good, I'm satisfied with its build and functionality.

I recently purchased a Logitech F510 after seeing years worth of comments that the Xbox360 d-pad was quite inaccurate (I wanted to play SFIV w/o having to shell out for a stick). After several weeks playing with it, I am very satisfied with my purchase, which was ~$30 on Amazon. The d-pad is...

I run at 1680x1050, the native resolution of my monitor. After posting, I played a little and noticed that the stuttering comes back after a while. It is nowhere as bad as before but still noticeable. Not yet satisfied, I found a suggestion online that I turn down the camera acceleration...

I realize I'm replying to a thread from 2008/09 that I started and eventually posted the last response in but I've come across more information that may benefit others especially since Games for Windows had this great series on sale for next to nothing. Recently, I purchased the Asian...

I had forgotten about GoW being disabled and just found out that a patch has been available for a few weeks now for those who are interested... http://gearsofwar.xbox.com/ The patch is available in the "Community" section under "PC Update".

It should be noted that this is the international version (as designated by the "(I)"), which according to most people should work fine stateside. Great price.

The "$10" in your post reminded me: There is a coupon on SD that makes a handful of PC games, including RA3 (regular and premier ver.), $10. Regular price is $30.

I can't speak for others but I've never really had any issues or problems with SecuRom-protected games. The cd-key authentication process has been fairly painless but I can understand the headache that may arise from a limited number of allowed installs.

I've been thinking about this lately myself. I've been living at home while working so my savings are pretty decent. It'd be a great opportunity to travel abroad, which is something I've been wanting to do for a while.
