    Gigabyte GTX 470 crapped out, looking for an updated recommendation.

    I didn't purchase the last card with a credit card, but I did with this one! Mastercard double warranty, sweeeet. Thanks to each and every one of you for your help and advice. :)

    I should have been clear that I was a little flexible. Are there any specific GTX 760 cards that you guys recommend? (Other than Gigabyte)

    Hi everyone, My Gigabyte GTX 470 OC, finally died. One thing I DON'T want is another card from Gigabyte, towards the end of my warranty I sent the card in for repair, they sent it back with the same problem. I contacted them and mailed it in again and they replaced it. One week out of...

    What the hell is up with those age verification boxes?

    I don't get that one, could you explain? Oddly enough though I still laughed.

    What the hell is up with those age verification boxes?

    This has probably been discussed before, but I wasn't sure what to search and I wanted to start the discussion again anyway. I know they've been around a long time. But what's the deal with those age verification boxes. They seem fu**in pointless. Are they required by law? I mean anyone who...

    You have to forgo one thing, masturbation or alcohol?

    Alcohol. I can't handle it well. It just makes me sleepy. While I do prefer a woman, masturbation does have it's place and time in my life.

    Good Gift card swapping sites?

    True, the cool kids don't shop at Radio Shack cuz they suck. I used to work there. I liked the job but it was to slow, not challenging, and the pay sucked. I see they sell tv mounts. I'll just buy one from there.

    Good Gift card swapping sites?

    Thank you but that's just part of the problem. They are only going to pay $38 for a $50 gift card.

    Good Gift card swapping sites?

    Does anyone know of any gift card swapping sites? I have a $50 radioshack gift card that I don't have a use for. I did see some sites that allow trades or buy backs, but they only value a card at %92 of it's value :P

    Hmm.... I normally take user submitted reviews with two pieces of rock salt. They can be helpful depending on who's written one and which site they are on. Unfortunately they are unreliable do to the fact that sometimes the most unqualified people write them. I for one can tell you that all...

    Why do so many people dislike Norton Antivirus/Norton Internet Security?

    Traditionally no, not with the older 2003,04, 05, versions. Even if I'm wrong, how many home users do you think know to even do that? If it wasn't for the big name, tradition and marketing, no one would use Norton.

    Depends on who's test you are reading. Real world examples are what count, besides depends on how much experience you have in seeing different environments in the real world ;) Really? Is it really that effective if you get infections and other people commonly get infected with the same...
