    Partisan News Hacks- VIDEO INCLUDED!!! :D

    I saw this Thursday night and found it interesting. I liked what O'Riley had to say for the most part, although my impression is that he was playing to the camera (well, duh). It is funny to to see how the far right and far left commentators were essentially the same in terms of either lack of...

    Electric dessicant-based dehumidifiers for home use

    Thread Moved Out of P&N Fern Super Moderator Our house is down in the woods in a little valley, so with the lack of sunlight, you can imagine how damp it can get back here in the spring/summer/fall. At any rate, I have been looking into purchasing a dehumidifier. Apparently, they no longer...

    P&N atmosphere

    Should I buy a new video card or should I wait?

    The XFX 4870 is so cheap at Newegg right now- just 144. It would be either between that and a 260 core 216, but those are too expensive as they run about the same as a 4870 1 GB. I currently have a 2900 pro (512 bit) which suits my purposes good enough I suppose, but i do get some little...
