    Razr V3 - Buzzing Noise

    My wife and I just got our Razrs today and I heard the buzzing IMMEDIATELY in mine. My wife can't hear it, but to me it really sticks out (I had my hearing tested once and the guy said I could probably hear grass growing). I figured the buzz was caused by some bit of lighting on one of the...

    1and1's Protected Directories. Tell me what I am doing wrong.

    Phew.... I thought I was the only one whose site has been down since at least 1 p.m. EST. No FTP or HTTP. BTW, my control panel is still working, as is incoming/outgoing mail. I don't use SSH so I'm not sure if that's still functioning, but I would guess that it's not. UPDATE: FTP and...

    ALERT for IBM NetVista X40 buyers from 2001

    Way back in the dark ages :) I bought the $799 NetVista from this three year old archived thread. About six months ago I began having occasional stability problems in XP but I only use the machine for email and browsing so it didn't bother me. Eventually, about two months ago the thing...

    [DEAD]Dell Home 200GB WD Hard Drive (New Info)

    I seriously doubt that Dell or WD made this mistake on purpose. Most of Dell's e-biz site is generated automatically out of a database somewhere. The number of "holy cow" deals that pop up (e.g. Home coupons that magically work in the SB store) and disappear in short order is pretty good proof...

    !! LiteOn 4X DVD+R/RW + Free T-Shirt at NewEgg for $110 Shipped

    We had one of those in '95-'96 at the small government contractor I worked for! I believe the cost was around $4000 + another $600 or so for the software to make it work. We were all giddy when we found a place selling CD-R media for $8 each! :D

    Digicam deals too hot to believe!!!

    Heheheh, I don't have my glasses on and until I took a closer look, I could swear your post said "I believe my DISCO teacher bought from them once." :D I thought to myself, "Now there's a man who's self-confident! Admitting to the world that he's taking disco lessons."

    Verbatim drives were all Cendyne so unless it was a rebate through BestBuy itself, you might be out of luck.

    You are correct, sir! Chile's Angels episode transcript Here's a quote: "Back in 1912, a researcher at Parke-Davis Pharmaceutical named Wilbur Scoville became interested in the neurological effects of capsaicin. The problem is when he tried to do controlled experiments with chilies, he was...

    Newegg now charges tax in NJ

    BigdaddyF is correct. Anyone living here in VA (and PA, MD, WV, NC, FL, and many other states) should be paying their "consumer's use tax" on out-of-state Internet purchases anyway. You're all paying that every year with your state income tax, right? :D
