    Absolute cheapest cell phone service in US?

    Hey, My contract with Verizon is finally about to expire. I haven't actually used the phone for almost a year now since I primarily use my work-provided phone. Does anyone know if there are really cheap ass providers (maybe even pre-paid?) that will let me roll over my phone number? If I...

    Battlefield 2 = $34.99 @ Circuit City

    2 sticks of double-sided DIMMs @ 200MHz?

    My current motherboard limits my DDR400 RAM to DDR333 because I am using two double-sided DIMMs. I am considering "upgrading" my board to something which does not have this limitation. I have heard nothing but good things about the DFI Lanparty UT nF3 250Gb, but would like some clarification...

    Speed: Athlon 64 3000 (1.8Ghz/939) vs. Athlon XP 3000 (2.16 Ghz) ?

    I've gone from Socket 7, Slot 1, Socket 370, Socket A, and hopefully soon to Socket 754. I always bought my stuff "planning" to upgrade the processor. But that never happened. By the time you're looking to upgrade your A64, you're gonna want to get Socket 1643 or whatever the hell these CPU...

    300W old and busted

    I feel like an old timer. Why in my day, a 300W PSU was something to get excited about. You kids and your rock and roll... So my Antec TruePower 300 has been running my Tbird+GF2 rig admirably, but now that I'm running an ATI9800Pro and am considering upgrading to an A64 3200, what kind of...

    New CPU: Newcastle or Clawhammer

    nm = nanometer = one millionth the size of a millimeter = really damn small when talking about cpus, it usually refers to how small they can make a wire in the manufacturing process. 90nm is only about 300 atoms big, so that means there are some seriously small wires and transistors etched...

    Dell 700m Hard Drive Swap

    Hey guys, I got in on the $750 Dell deal, and am waiting for my 700M (11/10 knock on wood). Thing is, I'm already thinking about upgrading the hard drive. As I understand it, they come with 4200RPM drives, which I can say is DAMN slow, from experience with my 600M. First off, does anyone...

    Simpletech STI-CF/256 Compact Flash card $41.99 w/ free shipping @ Amazon

    This would probably be a good deal to use the $50 GC from the last electronics promotion, if you bought a digicam. Has anyone actually gotten their GC yet? It's been around 6 weeks since my order and nothing. Do we have to "remind" them again?

    Mel's Diner Berkeley Buy one entree get 2nd free

    Ahahaha, what a coincidence. I just got back from Mel's. My friends and I got $70 dollars worth for $45 (after tax + tip). A word to the wise, Mel's had this promotion last year too. But they were hardcore anal about squeezing as much money into the bill as possible. Consider this scenario...

    Samsung ML-1710 Laser Printer 99.99 AR at BB AGAIN!

    Someone said in previous thread that Samsung makes some of the easiest to refill cartridges. They also said each cartridge could be reused in this manner around 3 or 4 times before the drum fails.

    Looks pretty hot, and coincidentally I was in the market for a set of knives after watching the Miracle Blade infomercial. But who in the world needs NINE steak knives??? EDIT: Ahahaha, I couldn't resist. Here come my EIGHTEEN steak knives, baby!!!

    Battery Run Time: Pentium-M laptops

    Didn't that CNet roundup say the T40 could get 7 hours? That's what made me feel so sh*tty about buying the Dell 600M. Nothing scientific, but I would say my battery life is about the same, maybe slightly less than yours.

    Are there any utilities that will dim the screen after a period of inactivity for PC laptops? Not shut off completely, but just dim the screen.

    ibook or intel/amd laptop?

    I wanted a PowerBook, but got a Dell instead. I had OS X envy, but installing ObjectDock took care of that. Native X11 support would still be nice though. If worse comes to worse I have 5 GB partitioned off for a future Linux dual-boot. My suggestion is to forget about Apple. You end up...

    got my dell 600m....

    One last problem, as a warning to other 600m users. There is no SpeedStep applet/driver for Win2K for this model laptop. I will try to install the drivers from other laptops but I don't know if that will work. I might have to reinstall XP after all :( Edit: Hehe, :). The driver for the...

    LORATADINE (stuff in Claritin). 20 pills as low as $1 total

    Can someone please explain exactly how this works? Do you snort up the water? Do you just pour it into your nostrils or what? I don't really understand. Thanks, it sounds great. My allergies aren't that bad, but I would like to be able to sleep more soundly at night.

    Laptop Drives = CD-ROM $15 CD-RW for $50

    Hmmm, my ancient CTX EzBook 700E's cd drive has been acting up. I might be able to use that Torisan but I don't even know if it's compatible or not. Risky, but the payoff.... It looks like this deal will be around for a while, so maybe I'll wait a bit.
