    And so the pissing contest beings....Oh wait that's right I could care less! I'll leave you with one thing to mull over. Rakuten is being accused of a data breach so severe that even SSN were compromised. No typical merchant keeps such information on file anywhere as it opens up severe...

    { dead } buy.com rakueten 30% in points back on order's over 200

    And the fearmongers are back again in full force. First off, let's put this in perspective. You are not responsible if the CC # gets stolen. Just watch your statements and report if you notice unathorized activity. CC numbers get stolen all the time. If you think Rakuten is bad, Walmart's...

    *rolls eyes. Unless you are stupid enough to use your debit card online. You are not losing money by having a CC number stolen. Over the last 15years I've had 6 instances including 2 with AMEX and 1 recently with Citi. To date I've not paid 1 bloody cent from any of it and usually have a...

    Seasonic X750---$99.99 w.FS--Newegg

    Yeah....about that. If your object is efficiency, a X750 is as efficient at it's lower end as a EW 380 is at peak efficiency.(way outside of its ratings and what should be a "bad" place for it). This is why you should always ALWAYS actually read reviews for tested results instead of assuming...

    OCZ Vector 128GB $119@Newegg

    To half the posters in this thread. This vector Drive is DIRECTLY comparable to a Samsung Pro 840, NOT a non-pro 840. Yes it is very much a deal as would be a Pro 840 at this price. If you think otherwise I suggest you bother actually reading reviews over this drive. Say for example...

    Hitachi Deskstar vs Western Digital Black (2TB)

    Honestly? Build quality and arriving DoA (or Dead after a few days usage) have little to nothing to do with each other. The #1 culprit for DoA and early death is shipping damage. Build quality and series quality really are statistically more applicable for life AFTER the first month. So I'd...

    Adventures of Brisco County Jr. Complete Set (8-Discs) - $14.50 shipped

    I talked with a CSR over it. They got flooded with far more orders than they had supply. Overwhelmed was the word she used. Anyway, they are not canceling anything and have several new shipments enroute. I was told to expect shipout within the week.

    Please explain to me why you would buy a refurbished HD ...

    IF a hard drive is going to fail, it's most likely going to fail in the first month or two. The most likely cause of this early failure is shipping damage. A Used / Refurbished drive has the same, if not better odds, compared to a new drive as refurbs go through more strenuous inspection than...

    AMD Denies Phase Out Opteron Socket 939

    Incorrect, the ORIGINAL rumor (which they never commented on) was that retail market was going byebye Then a certain UK zine had to go and imbelish it and MISTATE that the entire line was going out of production for a possible early arrival of M2. This is what AMD commented on as not doing so...

    are PC faster than Macs?

    They are simular...Power4 "used" to be able to wipe the floor with an AMD. IBM started however catering to a different market (See the next gen systems)...and Apple decide to take its ball and go elsewhere. For all intents and purposes both should run simularly if common ground is used...

    Possible warning on Opty 144/146/148 Etc...

    ...You are misreading that. AMD denies phase out. That is completely different than discontinuing a product to a certain market. (In other words they are discontinuing the availability to retail markets HOWEVER they are NOT stoping production and beging a phase out for a newer product...

    Possible warning on Opty 144/146/148 Etc...

    Yeah, but that's what has mostly been said.... Tanks said it (ex I beleive he used was SuperMicro BareBones becoming the primary use for them) The disconinuation notices were for retail (They very likely will assign new product IDs and may completely discontinue box'd versions)

    *HOT* 2.2 GHz Athlon 64 3700+ Processor $159

    I knew exactly what I was talking about. When I tried to load it in at 12:30 pm EST The Dell coupon was erroring out "Failed to qualify on this item" You "assumed" You were right and I and the others were wrong when we told you this over an hour ago.
