The secret to good steaks at home: go to Costco or Sam's, and buy a whole rib-eye or strip loin in the vacuum bag. Put the bag in the refrigerator for 4 weeks. Unwrap, cut into steaks, and (if you have one of the little home units) vacuum-wrap and freeze. Vac-wrapped steaks will last up to a...

Thank you OP. Mr. Niven recorded these from vinyl LP's to cassette tape, presumably using the technology available in 1975-1982. The 30+ year old cassette tapes were played analog into a desktop, and software converted the files to MP3 at a bitrate of from 96 to 160. Just for grins, a couple...

I missed out on the Staples deal last week for the MSI GTX 960 vid card ($204 - $50 off with Visa Checkout - $20 rebate), providing a deal for me with tax of $147. Lowest price ever BY FAR for a GTX 960. The Staples price is still the same ($204), and the rebate is still good (7/31). This...

Perhaps, but was $135 FS just last month from published deal (Buy) on eBay. I always am surprised although I know better: 500GB drive is but 465GB after formatting <sigh>.

Ditto. Never again.

VDAY50 is 50% one item, but it can be used multiple times. Thanks OP

Pentium? My first build was a 386/25 - friends came to visit just to behold the raw power :-) I bet I burned up or cracked the cores on 50 Athlons! I can't find my GFs Facebook page, but I can still run off thirty lines of DOS 3 from memory.

As long as we long-time customers are whizzing on Newegg, their latest policy has me seeing red. New policy: any order from a non-USA IP address is automatically cancelled. Tried a couple times to get OP's GTX 760 card, got the Confirmations, but each time a mysterious cancellation - with no...

Bummer! Although Cincinnati shows 10 in stock, all locations (and web store) now show "Invalid" message :-(

I've worn these forever - excellent, nice looking general-purpose cross trainers. New Balance NB381, all Men's sizes, also in Wide (4E). I'm 6-4 and 275 lbs, and find they hold up far better than any others I've tried...

Had extremely good results with the "notebook upgrade" kit (includes a USB enclosure for the old drive). Notebook with SU7300 cpu went from 1 min 43 secs to boot Win 7 pro, to 37 secs after only a simple clone (not a re-install). The ssd replaced a Western Digital "Blue label" 250 gb drive...

Same deal ($117, free ship) at Amazon. See list of sellers for Amazon's price (it's the first one).

Not to thread-crap, but with shipping included, for smaller quantities it's about the same price as the USA stuff at my local Wal-Mart.
