    Shocking computer on?

    So I'm out in my garage with a power drill working on building a step up for my dogs to get in through the doggy door, and my mom opens the door and asks whether the computer needs to be plugged in, I ask why, and she says it wont turn on. It was only 2 months ago in which some power surge got...

    US F16 Deepest Intrusion into Iran sofar

    I hope we dont go into Iran. We are already spread thin with Afghan and Iraq. You think people are talking about the draft now?

    Surround Sound speaker

    Well, I dont know why I would need a front hub for the audigy, so you saved me $80. Thanks. I have never had a seperate sound card, which is why I dont know how much clearer my sound quality could get, but I guess I'll give it a shot, my paycheck was quite satisfying this month.
