    What would you do?

    My wife and I sold an elliptical on Craigslist about a month ago. In the year that we owned the machine there was never a single problem with it...and the original owners who had it for a year before us never had a problem with it. But lo and behold, we sell the thing and the console has some...

    Codeplex

    Anybody heard of Codeplex before? It appears to be Microsoft's attempt at an open source community... Has anybody heard of this before? Any thoughts? I think it's pretty cool, especially since it's something I didn't expect from Microsoft.

    I like Matrix Reloaded AND Revolutions

    Everyone hates Matrix 2 and 3...except for me and a few other cool folks :) I thought that they weren't quite as good as the original, but worthy sequels nonetheless. I saw people start bashing these movies in the V for Vendetta thread and felt I needed to come "out of the closet" so to...

    Dual Channel RAM

    I am about to put together a Shuttle system in the next week or two and I still need to buy RAM for it.
