http://i306.photobucket.com/al.../siyantan/Untitled.jpg This happens when double clicking on a folder in Explorer. Sometimes also when opening a new explorer window (ie: double click on some folder from desktop). Hitting F5 to refresh fixes it, but then it just comes back again. :( I've...

While my A64 3200 and X800XL served me well for the last two years, I started to make a list of games I want to play without resorting to minimal graphics. That list is now something like 13 or 14 games long. I just want to get as much gaming performance as possible without reaching too high...

Anybody have experience importing cars from the US to Canada? I'm thinking about getting a Subaru Legacy 2.5i Limited (2007) from Buffalo and dragging it over to Hamilton. We'll see if its cheaper, but part of me suspects it is. As the car is manufactured in Indiana if I recall correctly...

Anybody have auto insurance with these guys? The web quotes seem really cheap...just wondering if anyone has noticed a catch somewhere.

That's not the question, nor was it meant to be taken literally. And because people can't seem to stay on point... original post edited...

I'm strongly considering getting a new Impreza. However, I'm torn between Sedan or Wagon. On one hand, I'm 21, and a wagon is weenie. On the other hand, the Impreza trunk is puny, and you can't get folding rear seats in the Sedan. :(

The wimpy fan on my NB is dead, so its just a wimpy heatsink and case airflow cooling it right now. The included motherboard utility reads 66 degrees. Now, a few games seem to run slower than they should....am I getting thermally throttled or is it something else? nForce 4, btw.

I'm fully aware of how ABS works, I'm merely wondering if ABS makes pure-straight line stopping distance worse in some cases. And it would seem like yes. I'm also quite a good driver. I don't think that keeping the same following distance as everyone else and going the same speed, but being...

So a while ago we were getting fresh, fluffy snow, and I?m driving about 30 km/h keeping pace with everyone else. Red light comes up, everyone hits the brakes. They all stop just fine, whereas my ABS decides that it?s a good idea to continually let up on the brakes, forcing me to yank on the...

Correction: Belichick always looks mad, as well as homeless. Did anyone else see that dirty Patriots hoodie with the sleeves cut off?

Ah, I only had a vague idea of what Craigslist is. I thought he was referring to the act in general instead of the specifics. As for Apple, while I'm sure they purport to be quite hippie and liberal, any large multinational corporation should probably slant towards the right wing. I mean...

I've heard so much about this, but its all be anecdotal. Anybody have some semi-solid facts? And yes, this will be a new-with-stickers car. Maybe a 2006 clearance/demo model though.

I don't understand the liberal / conservative reference here. ? : ( Its just a buy and sell.

I feel the need to trade in my trusty 2001 Grand Am for something fresher. Currently debating vs: VW Jetta 2.5 (ie: not the turbo version) Mazda 6 (2.3L) Subaru Impreza SE (WRX too rich for my blood) I'm quite confident that all of these cars have enough oomph for my purposes, and I...

Whatever happens, you just get the feeling that one of the QBs will be on the sideline saying "He missed it. He missed it!"
