    TN-LCDs a Compromise?

    I've been looking a LCDs for home use (heavy gaming plus work) and it seems like everyone is raving over these new low response TN panels. Plus I think these are only available at 15-19" sizes? I'm looking for 20" plus which are probably only S-IPS, MVA/PVA types right? Don't the TN types...

    1600 mode on a Dell 2001 = Native?

    Maybe it's just me, but it seems like my PC can play games at 1600 x 1200 that it shouldn't? I'm running a 9800Pro (DVI to the 2001) and a mobile 2600 OC'd to 2.2 GHz, with 1-G ram. I've played all the new games on this non-cutting edge system with no probs (D3, FarCry, HL2, etc.). Admittedly...

    Why do BushHeads act like it was a landslide?

    It seems like all the RUBepublicans act like it was a landslide in his favor, when he really barely got 50%. Even Bush is saying he's got a lot of poitical "capital" now and "the people have spoken". Doesn't he realize that half the people still hate his guts? Oh forgot, he's still too stupid...

    Hilary and Jeb in 2008?

    Now what? Has the country gone further insane? I don't think a woman could win yet, and I surely don't want another Bush in there, much less one named JEB!

    Specter for President!

    Look, a Republican with the balls to challenge the Bush regime! ?When you talk about judges who would change the right of a woman to choose, overturn Roe v. Wade, I think that is unlikely,? Specter said, referring to the landmark 1973 Supreme Court decision legalizing abortion. Specter...

    Religious Idiots Shouldn't Vote

    I'm for a complete separation fo Church and State. Obviously that didn't happen in this election and everyone is saying Bush won due to his "moral" stance. WTF!! Aren't there more imposing issues for the country than "morals"? The Religious Right came out of the closet to vote as a block...

    911 on a Cell Phone

    Can you get 911 service with a cell phone? I tried once to report a drunk driver, but it wouldn't go through. Is there a special number to call, like *777 or something?

    Sygate breaks my Internet?

    OK, I had Sygate personal running along with NOD32 fine. For some reason I had to uninstall these two to get SP2 to install, fine. Now after reinstalling and I turn SP2 firewall off and Sygate on, my IE just sets there and doesn't connect. As soon as I turn Sygate off, connections back up...
