    Apple I for sale on eBay

    As seen here. It's going for a hefty chunk of change, but hey, the Smithsonian displays one of these. While not the earliest PC, it certainly was incredibly important for the early PC industry. Pretty cool!

    28 days later opening "hello?!" clip

    Towards the beginning of "28 Days Later" the protagonist is walking around London shouting "hello?!" I swear that I've heard this clip before in some way, shape, or form not related to the movie. Pink Floyd rang a bell, but I haven't found it yet (and it is not "Comfortably Numb"). Any ideas?

    20% off video games software and accessories more than $20 at Circuit City

    If you get Circuit City's frequent e-mails, it pays to check out the one they just sent out. Normally I just delete them, but this one is awesome. They are giving a 20% off coupon out. However, it appears to be a personalized code, as it comes in the form of a barcode which is printed off and...

    all hell breaks loose in Madison, WI

    Just got out of a friends place near State Street to find that apparently someone had started a fire on the street, causing the cops to break out the gas. I'm a bit out of it right now, so I can't comment too much, but I applaud the Madison police for being firm but fair (or so it seems right now).

    X800 Pro modded into X800 XT Platinum

    As seen here This makes that card much more attractive, if this procedure can be done with any consistency. I'm still most likely going to pick up a GT though.

    Thoughts on the Lian Li PC-V2000

    The case reviewed here Linkage I'm considering picking this up to replace my PC-60. I dig the pseudo-G5 look, the case supposedly cools nicely, it is quiet thanks to the 120 mm fans, I think the 12 internal 3.5" bays is a great feature (I currently have 4 HD and am going to expand in the not...

    EB Games - $2 Unreal action figures

    Just got back from the Madison, WI EB Games. The Unreal action figures, which used to be around $15 were tagged at $5. However, they ring up as $2 each. It must be a clearance, so YMMV on this. But it's a smoking deal for a cool looking figure about 6 inches tall by 3 inches wide (decent...

    GoGamer 48 hour madness - Call of Duty $32.90 + shipping

    Just received the latest 48 hour madness e-mail. Call of Duty is $32.90. Not a bad deal for a new release. Only potential deal killer is their shipping, but if you tack on something else like Civ III for $10, it's a bit easier to swallow.

    will be in Toronto from this Saturday to the next-need ideas!!!

    A bunch of my friends and I are going to Toronto over spring break. I'd like some suggestions as to good places to eat, good bars to go to, good things to see, etc. So far we're thinking of visiting the CN Tower and Chinatown. I noticed that there is going to be a St. Patty's Day parade this...

    Enermax power supply +5V line holding back overclock?

    I've got an Enermax 365P-VE. Like many of it's brethren, the 5V line is known to dip quite low at times. With my chip drawing around 100W at 1.85Vcore, my 5V line is averaging 4.65V. This is outside of the +/- 5% spec. Mind you, the system runs completely stable like this. I'm wondering if...

    Chipped my core....

    So yeah, I reinstalled my SLK-800 tonight to try to lower temps, but that didn't help much (64 die, 50 socket). Almost had a heart attack though - a small ship on the side of the core when I pulled off the heatsink. I really don't like the darn clip on this heatsink - it seems too tight (e.g...

    Random Number Generators

    How does a random number generator work? Is it based on a mathematical algorithm that has an infinite number of answers? If in a hardware form, how would it work then (perhaps slot machines use them?)?

    80 gig Seagate HD for $90 AR at Best Buy

    Hi everyone, just thought I'd pass this along. Best Buy has Seagate Barracuda ATAIVs for $140 - $50 rebate = $90. This can potentially be made hotter with the 10% off coupon from magazines, but I haven't tried that. It's not the newest drive anymore, but it still has very respectable...

    Workstation service in XP is causing minute long hangs in startup!

    Hi everyone. I painstakingly tracked down the source of my minute long hang in startup (from login to being able to actually use all applications (e.g. antivirus autoprotect finally initializes, and I can open anything I want up) to the workstation service hanging. I can actually watch this...

    CD spinup noises coming from speakers

    Hi, I'm wondering if anyone happens to know what's going on here. Whenever I insert a CD (including retail and burned copies) into my tray loading Pioneer DVD, I get the spin-up noise not only coming from my drive, but also coming out of my speakers (A high pitched whining). This continues...

    Free 64 meg memory card with digicam purchase at Amazon

    My first hot deal, so go easy on me. Amazon has a free 64 meg memory card included with Sony and Canon digicams (perhaps other brands too). You can also opt to have half off of a 128 meg card instead of this deal. Combined with the free super slow shipping and you have a decent deal. Just...
