    Discussion Help me choose a compact crossover/SUV - see my selections

    Kia Niro has more legroom in the rear than Hyundai Kona, which I think is a big selling point for that car. The most barebones model (Hybrid LX) can be found for 17-20K, but it does not include the adaptive cruise control. However, it's hard to go wrong with this choice when even the basic model...

    Communter car advice, Focus vs Elantra vs Impreza vs ?

    I bought Cruize TD a few months back and it is a pretty nice car. Rear legroom is kinda small but that doesn't really matter to me. The fact that diesel only comes in higher trim versions (leather seats, heated seats, remote start, etc) is a point to consider too. I love my cellphone app to...

    MORE Seiki 4K TV sales 39" $405 & 50" $607

    I would personally go for the upcomming Vizio P series 4k tvs. Better image quality with FALD, able to do 60hz instead of 30, and $999 MSRP for 50inch moddel. I just hope it has a displayport connection (fingers crossed) instead of just HDMI 2.0

    RAM vs Energy

    I've been running with no page file since winxp days. In WinXP you'd sometimes get an error or two in a period of a year, but for win7 I had never had that happen. The only program that would ever bitch about missing pagefile was older versions of photoshop, and even that stopped with the never...

    Clean Shaven People - Recommend an Electric Shaver

    This is what I use, along with "Taylor of Old Bond Street Jermyn Street Luxury Shaving Cream for Sensitive Skin" and it works much better than any disposable razor.

    Best set of $100 speakers?

    If possible, try attaching the speakers to a different PC, see if the audio quality changes when you do that.

    Dell 2410 vs 2412?

    2412 also uses a lot less power since it's LED, which is kinda important if you live in places like Texas or California where it's hot enough already :)

    just bought sudafed. am i being watched now

    No ID, no sale. Doesn't matter if you pay cash or with credit card. The limit is usually 3.6 grams of PSE a day (federal, can be less per state), and 9 grams a month (could also be less per state). This usually means you can buy only one highest-count box in a day, and another one tomorrow, and...

    Best set of $100 speakers?

    As a side note, these speakers are quite big, so check that video on Newegg's item page to get a sense of how they're gonna look. I myself was quite surprised when it first came in a shipment ;)

    Speakers for lappy/outdoor use

    I use a pair of http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...ls_o01_s00_i00 . The sound is quite decent, and I also have an option of getting a 4amp powersupply instead of the current 2am for the sound amplifier, to squeeze out a few more watts of sound. Total cost for this was $50 for speakers (on...
