3.3GB DVD ISO at 400Kb/s download speed courtesy of my TW cable 5Mbps connection. screenshot I'm doing this download while having 2 torrents and another 50Kb/s download running in the background. Oh and all of this is over an 802.11G wireless connection. BTW: I'm using Nettransport to...

How?!

I also have aout 50 invites. Email me at passivexATgmailDOTcom and I'll send you one.

I've been building PCs and servers since 1995 but I wouldn't shy away from recommending a Dell (I would not recommend Sony though). The main reasons? Price and ubiquity. Dell's machines are super cheap and most a very well-built. Yes, sometimes they have systems where many parts have limitations...

I've been using Bank of America's online bill pay since it was introduced 2 years ago. Still, I prefer pointing all my bills to my creditcard(s) then, at the end of the month, pay the creditcard balance online (keeping a PDF copy of the confirmation) while waiting for my paper statement.

Well...there's a lot more pressure on the brake ( I can feel it) then when I put it in neutral.

Dude I just did it and it freakin' wrecked my car!! Yeah, right. I have an automatic (yes, the shame...my wife wouldn't let me buy a stick cuz she's afraid the ride's gonna be too rough for her...all that shifting and the occasional jerk) Actually this comment hits the spot: But...

Okay so I know nothing about car but can anybody tell me if it's safe to put your car in Neutral when waiting for a green light (as opposed to leaving it in Drive gear and braking)? Of course, I'd still brake but leaving it in Neutral feels like I'm putting less stress on the car.

Wait, how did you get the $150 price? where?

So what is the REAL price? I saw some preorder offers on Ebay for around $220 USD while many sites are stating prices of $300 USD and over. I have an EBGames preorder for $20 but they have no information whatsoever about the PSP (I just called and asked again 4 days ago).

I preordered a PSP with my friend at EB way back in November. They still haven't gotten any info. on the preorder yet. So, without knowing the final price, I don't want to go ahead and preorder another one, especially since there are many rumors that the US version will hit $300 or even $350...

This sounds good until you realize that you could not use regular DDR memory in this server. It only accepts DDR2 (and non-ECC DDR2 modules are just as expensive as the ECC version). This will significantly reduce your sellability (is that a word?) of this system without memory. I bought two...

What?! How'd you get free shipping? I've seen one other post where a guy in CA got free shipping too. Please explain.

I totally agree. However, seeing that you can win a Z4 for $5k by just having an Amex card will go a long way towards convincing non-Amex users to switch. I've been using Blue for a while and I love it. It's my favorite card out of about 5. That Point Reward program rocks. Their online billing...
