    Nintendo's E3 2006 Home Page. Wii Secret Revealed? (might be fake) Time Magazine Article. Personally, I am looking forward to it quite a bit. I can't wait to see what else they're going to reveal (if the 'big secret' rumor holds any truth).:) RE: Sony's E3 Conference

    How is the backend of community websites programmed?

    See title. I talked with a friend about this and we both really didn't have a clue, only some rough guesses. I think this belongs here because I'm not asking anything technical, I'm just curious what type of technology supports such a massive number of different users all interelated like for...

    Metallica boots Bob Rock!

    :Q After 15 years, Bob Rock will not be producing the next album for Metallica. I wonder if the band actually got wind of the petition to get rid of Rock. Rick Rubin, who has produced albums for Audioslave, the Red Hot Chilli Peppers, and more artists, will be producing their untitled...

    Best audio software with GOOD amp modeling?

    See title. Mac OR PC is acceptable, I'm wondering if there are any comparable apps to logic pro on the PC (the guitar amp pro plugin specifically). I know there are plenty of professional recording tools on both platforms, but I would really like a good software amp. Thanks ;)

    Any deals currently running for investment websites?

    I'm wondering if there are any promotions going on (I've looked but haven't been able to find any) at investment websites currently. I'm going to have about $5,000 to invest and I'd like to get a little bonus if there are any out there, otherwise I will probably just go with etrade. Thanks. :)

    DFI Nforce3 UT Killed 2 3400+ mobiles

    Well it turns out my DFI Nforce3 killed 2 of my mobile 3400+ processors. Being oem, I can't get an rma either. When raising the voltage from something around 1.65 to 1.7ish the board failed to POST. It was definitely a trivial increase and not something like 1.4v to 2.05. Here's the story...

    Cheapest board that can run a DTR Athlon 64?

    MY dfi lanparty ut smoked (literally) and the one I got back from RMA was DOA, and upon sending that back newegg refunded me. I just need a board to test and see if the cpu still works, nothing fancy and absolutely no o/c is needed. I can get the DFI from newegg but after having 2 bad ones I'm...

    Any reccomendations for looking up a License Plate?

    Hey all, At my cousin's house (out of state), there has been a car parked in their lot for over a couple weeks, and they'd really like to know who it belongs to. They live in the city so there are some stringent parking laws, but they don't want to call the police because there is some local...

    Newegg Refurb Question

    Hey all, Just wondering if anyone here has bought and received an (any model) asus refurbished motherboard from newegg, and received the accessories. I think they cost like $25 and that somewhat offsets the cost savings by buying refurbished, but I'd like to know if you did get everything, and...

    UPDATE! Dell RMA Question

    UPDATE: I very carefully bent back the rest of the pins that were slightly offset with a thumbtack, and fashoned a pin out of a strand of wire. I stuck the wire into the socket just barely higher than the socket itself, so that when the processor would press down it would bend and contact the...

    Best format to use for allofmp3?

    See title, they have so many options and I haven't been up with the different forms of encoding in a looong time, what's the best bang for the buck? (not very many have LAME available, and it's 2x the cost :Q) I got some songs in OGG @ the highest bitrate (around 400) but I can still hear the...

    What is the best time to end an ebay auction?

    Although my grammar probably isn't perfect, I think I have a legitimate question :P. I'm wondering, since a lot of people around here seem to be eBay veterans, what is an optimal time to end an auction? I'm sure there would probably be more people on (generally speaking) at one time or...
