    Silicon Dust HD Homerun network-based dual tuner - $89.99 shipped at Newegg

    Yeah, it's funny how they call this new $149 price part of a 72-hour "special" after having it for only $89.

    Automated virus / spyware removal script: June 2010 (BROKEN)

    FWIW a couple of the URLs were defunct in the README.html. The a-squared link that worked for me was: http://download3.emsisoft.com/a2cmd.zip The McAfee link is no longer available at all anywhere. I guess this means McAfee will have to be removed too?

    Roku HD Player $79.99 with Free Shipping

    I was thinking about purchasing one, but after I saw the short codec support list (only 3 video codecs -- no mpeg anything, xvid, divx, or anything nice like that), I decided against it. Also, the audio codec list shows only mp3 and wma, but a lot of people have mp3 so I guess that's not quite...

    Antec Nine Hundred Black Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case

    I've never owned cooler master cases, but I've been using the 900 for my main desktop for over a year now. It works/performs great and I've never had any problems with it. I highly recommend it, especially at this price.

    USB Zonet wireless ($12 AR) & Azio wireless ($7 AR)

    Looks like the AWU101N uses the Ralink RT3070 chipset which has better Linux support than the Zonet adapter.

    For the Prepaid phone crowd:Puretalk no contrac$10/mo/101 mins/rollover&never expire

    Why is that? The plan is focused on inexpensive (as far as prepaid service goes) voice calling, not text message addicts.

    For the Prepaid phone crowd:Puretalk no contrac$10/mo/101 mins/rollover&never expire

    $100 gets you 1000 minutes for a year, not 500. Also, after the first time you spend $100 worth of minutes on your prepaid account, you automatically attain "Gold Rewards" status and get 15% more minutes on every future prepaid refill less than $100. The expiration date increases from 90...

    For the Prepaid phone crowd:Puretalk no contrac$10/mo/101 mins/rollover&never expire

    This isn't entirely true. They allow you to access some websites (aka "T-Zones") for free such as CNN, ABC news, Yahoo services (including email), radar.net, ESPN, 4info.net, mobi.traffic.com, their own mobile portal which shows things like current balance and such, and probably some other sites...

    Erm... I've never been overcharged for text messages I've sent or received (and yes, I've monitored my balance that closely).

    For the Prepaid phone crowd:Puretalk no contrac$10/mo/101 mins/rollover&never expire

    Yep. T-Mobile's PAYGO currently charges $.10 to send and $.05 to receive. Additional Quick tidbit of info: Puretalk uses the AT&T network.

    Joint Operations Combined Arms only $7.50 at D2D

    I played this game a lot for several years after it came out (including the time prior during beta testing). However, I finally grew weary of some of the glitches/bugs the game/engine suffered from and stopped playing a couple years ago or so. I haven't played since, so maybe some of the more...

    People Giving Away Computer Parts & Supplies

    Listia seems interesting but I don't see the difference between it and say a regular auction site, except you're using virtual money instead of real money. I mean, couldn't you just sell your items for real money, then use that real money to purchase the items you want? I guess the only real...

    Yeah, it seems more laggy than what I remember of multiplayer on the original, even though I have a much faster connection since I last played the non-HD version.

    Just to note, this adapter's chipset (RTL8187L) has does not work perfectly in Linux so far. However, with the latest kernel at least the connection does not seem to drop any longer. The connection speed has been reported to drop over time down to 1mbps though.
