    Cable modem & Directv using a single coaxial line

    If you put your tounge on metal that is below freezing, you might get stuck. Now that's what I call a sticky situation.

    NOT hot: USB 1.1 is USB 2 ..

    If I am in a car and the car is capable of 150 MPH, wouldn't "full speed" be the equivalent of 150 MPH? If I am driving at 100 MPH, would I not be driving at "high speed"?

    HOT! dell, buy.com, staples coupon codes officially on anandtech??

    AT is not posting coupon codes. They are selling ads to places that have coupon codes. AT is a great forum. I'm glad the dude can pay his bills and maintain the quality we all take advantage of.

    52x24x52x Cendyne CD-RW at Staples for $17.95 after $22 instant off and $40 MIR

    I picked up one of the last 3 at Frisco, Texas location yesterday. Turned out to be a BenQ. My tests went great. 640MB in under 2.5 minutes is damn good anyway you slice it. My Pioneer slot-load DVD-ROM drive is louder than this thing is.

    Pinnacle InstantCopy for $20.00 @ J&R after MIR - Cheaper & Better? Then DVD2one

    I've copied several with the program. You use DVD-Decrypter and rip the entire contents in file mode and then use Instant copy from HDD to DVD±R/RW. That's all. No more steps at all.

    My CD/DVD collection is topping out at around 400 now. I've found the historical bubble-sort method to work really well for me. The stuff I use the most is always at the top. :)

    (Dead) Cendyne DVD-R/RW 4X Drive (Pioneer) "$149.99" AR & coupon at Staples

    FYI: I had compatibilty issues on DVD players with several different makes of DVD-R disks and the included DVD-RW disk while using DVD XCopy. I finally tried Ritek 4x media burned using InstantCopy and it works like a champ in all players, even an old crusty RCA player.

    Pinnacle InstantCopy for $20.00 @ J&R after MIR - Cheaper & Better? Then DVD2one

    I've found my kids' dvds laying on the floor in the gameroom data-side up on more than one occasion. Beisdes that, I have 2 dvd players and they watch the hell out of those disney movies. Easier to have a copy next to each machine.

    (Dead) Cendyne DVD-R/RW 4X Drive (Pioneer) "$149.98" AR & coupon at Staples (Ends Sat.2-1)

    On Sunday 1/19, I went to staples.com and entered the drive and the $50 off coupon. On a whim, I took the printed cart to B&M and asked the manager if I could do the deal there. He said no problem. Got mine for $150 after rebate. When I opened the package at home, the volume knob on the drive...
