    $900 Gaming Build: Ready to pull the trigger?

    Hey guys, haven't posted here or built a system for a while. I thought I'd ask your input before I put together a new build. This is going to be a gaming computer to replace a 4/5 year old nvidia 6600GT/AMD 64 3500+ system. My budget is ~800-999 USD. I don't really have a brand preference...

    Superlightweight *Nix distro for dual boot?

    I'm reformatting my thinkpad notebook in the next couple of days and I thought it would be a cool idea to load it with a lightweight linux distribution in addition to Windows XP. The idea is that I could do something similar to the ASUS Splashtop concept, where you can boot up your computer very...

    Internet Explorer to different device?

    Hey guys, I need to play the internet radio over the external speakers and play games on my headphones at the same time. I'm probably going to buy an external sound card in order to make this easier, but how do I tell internet explorer to output to a specific audio device? Thanks a lot...

    Going to London

    I'm going to London in a few weeks, and I'm wondering what the easiest way to pay over there is. I don't have a credit or a debit card, otherwise this would be really easy.

    If you were a supervillian about to conquer the world...

    Think about it. Although the good guy almost always pulls through in films and media, that doesn't mean it would really work like that, and rubbing your grand, master plan in his/her face at the very last moment would be OH so gratifying. So... would you or not?

    If you could be the leader of any country, what country would you be the leader of?

    Idk what I'd go for. Maybe Japan, because they seem to be doing well and their PM seems like he has the most fun at these get-togethers... but I know nothing about their politics (although, afaik, their system is pretty close to the US's)

    How can you have "Off Topic" that's not allowed in ATOT?

    If it's On-Topic in Off topic, it's either on topic in ATOT or off topic in ATOT. If it's the former, it's just fine, and if it's the latter, isn't it still off topic and therefore still OK? :confused:
