    in the market for a netbook

    I just bought the acer 522 myself. I am pretty pleased with it so far. It is noticeably snappier than my wife's older N270 netbook. Build quality seems pretty solid. I think I would recommend it.

    Help a Newb

    OK, thanks Heckler. I am still confused about these lines of the poorly translated instructions, though: Boot From Diskette , Run Awdflash.exe file Update Your Mother Board BIOS Device=Awdflash [driver:] [path] [filename (*.bin)] /SN /PY /CC /R Example : Awdflash a:\tx98-a22.bin /SN /PY /CC...

    Help a Newb

    Yes, that Jetway site is where I found everything. Is it sufficient to extract the entire zip file onto the floppy? I have extracted it onto the desktop and it is basically a folder that has a number of files as subfolders named for different operating systems. Should I just copy the contents...

    Help a Newb

    I have a Jetway A210GDMS-Pro motherboard. I need to update the bios in order to move to a dual core cpu (my current bios does not support dual core). As of now I have Phoenix awardbios v6.00pg, V. A210GDMS-PRO A03 7-13-05. I have a floppy disk drive installed and ready to go. I have never...

    Do you / Would you eat bear meat?

    If you think bear is not tasty than you just haven?t had it properly prepared. Bear is good! I only eat wild game myself, its much more humane than eating factory farmed meat.

    Man vs. Wild

    He seems like a tough guy...but man that is one fake show. He skydives into a mountain lake, swims out, and his parachute isn't even deployed. What a laugh fest.

    Is there a peaceful religion?

    Knowledge does not entail certainty. You are confused if you think this is the case. Don't make the same mistake Descartes did.

    Home Brewed Beer - anyone done it?

    I just finished off a batch of stout that turned out great. It is easy and fun. Give it a try. I am thinking about brewing an IPA next.

    Tigers FTW!

    They are in the playoffs the first time since '87. P. Polanco is back in the lineup. Maroth is available. The offence is alive again. It is looking to be a good October in Tigertown!

    Warhammer: DOW: Dark Crusade demo is out

    It is a good first look at what the basic Tau units can do. But, it would have been nice to be able to access all of the Tau units, as well as see some of the new units from other armies in action. I guess it is all the more reason to buy the expansion.

    Warhammer: DOW: Dark Crusade demo is out

    The Demo for DC is available. The Tau tutorial is playable, as well as a few missions against Space Marines. The Tau seem to be quite powerful; however, the SM opponent was nerfed for the demo. http://www.gamespot.com/pages/gamespace...nload.php?pid=931664&sid=6156968&mode= The Necrons...

    Handgun Newbie - Quick Question

    For just target practice get a .22. For any other use the .40S&W can't be beat; it has the recoil of a 9mm and the balistics of a .45.

    Help on puting together $500 gaming system

    I think I would steer clear of a dual gfx card setup as a future upgrade path. For the price of a new single card down the road you could just upgrade your 7600gt. Sell it and get a single vid card of the next generation that will be easier to set up, and have just as much oomph as two 7600gts...
