    Free MP3 from Geico....

    Awesome! Thanks for the posting. As it happens, I have Gieco (and yes I saved a bunch of money and they are extremely helpful) and I was wondering what song that was. I did find the song that is for the commerical with the caveman on the airport with the song that goes "...there's always...

    Do you have a legal version of Windows XP?

    A better OS eh? Then why do you have a PC with Windows XP. In my opinion, you should only need one OS, unless of course you are running a server, then you would want to get an OS more suited for that. But for your regular use, if you have to use linux and windows, then linux is not a better...

    Do you have a legal version of Windows XP?

    I suppose I should have also put in an acadmic copy. I know some people use an acadmic copy (not limited to Windows) of software even though they aren't a student. However, I am, so I'm in the clear :D

    NBA Championship

    Ha, no one voted for the Wizards. O well, I would have thought the Bulls would win, even without Curry

    Do you have a legal version of Windows XP?

    I thought up this poll after a recent article in Anandtech. Just how many people use illegal copies. I'm not asking for replys, just answer the poll. I don't think there is anyway to track you down so you should be safe.... if you use an illegal copy that is

    LOL2X!!! apple sued by Tiger Direct

    and Windows? Is anything really computer named related? If things were, we'd have everything called Microsoft O/S 5.111 (cause XP has nothing to do with technology either)

    Dual-Core procs

    I think the ugly truth that could exist is that two cores will not be as good as made out to be. I have no problem running multiple programs at one time on my Athlon64. The only thing that hinders it is how much RAM i have.

    NBA Championship

    Minnesota has a decent chance, especially how they have been playing as of late. I think the big factor now is injuries. No Duncan, no Spurs. And while I think the Suns fast break play can be figured out, especially when you are playing 3-5 games against them, they have so many offensive...

    Dual-Core procs

    I guess I misread some things. Special thanks to dguy6789 for the clear up. What I thought was that while Windows XP does support multiple cpu's, it won't use them to their fullest extent. Like it doesn't shift the load from one processor to the other. On another note, how much is dual-cores...

    NBA Championship

    I think they can and mainly for one reason. The Pacers have great 3 point shooting. Shaq can't do much when people are draining 3 pointers. And while Wade is doing great as well on offense, I think defense is one area the Heat are lacking for most of their players. Even jump shooting from...

    NBA Championship

    I thought it was pretty sure that Duncan would be back by then. If he isn't, then I'm saying Suns vs Pacers.

    NBA Championship

    Kobe ruined the Lakers. While the Lakers have been known to be a great winning team, and the team you'd love to hate, I feel like Kobe has brought so much disgrace to the team. Seriously, the fact they would fire head coach because Kobe doesn't like him? And why in the world did they think it...

    NBA Championship

    Well, right now Memphis is in 8th for the West. But I suspect Minnesota could take it. So it was hard to say which to put up there. Either way, do you think either team has a chance?

    NBA Championship

    Howdy all, I'll start off with the East coast. It may surprise many of you, but I think the Indiana Pacers have a serious chance at winning. The other teams I think will cause trouble for them is the Heat and Pistons. They've beaten Mimi Heat the last 12 times they've played them, and the...

    Dual-Core procs

    Howdy all, I've been looking at articles related to the Pentium Dual-core processors. As I'm sure everyone is aware by now, it seems that it is basically two processors glued together, while the Extreme Edition has Hyper-Threading on it. Now, I think dual procs are a great way to go, and...
