    Heh I know, but sometimes when you're just about 5 exp points away from the next level, you just wish they'd regenerate faster :) 'Course thats probably how they get money from you to pay for extra points It kinda feels like playing the old Drug Wars, but with other people's profiles as your...

    The difference between Asians, Caucasians, Blacks.

    Evolution doesn't work like that. If you look at Homo sapiens and our closest living relatives (Pan troglodytes - chimpanzee), we have a common ancestor. That common ancestor is neither chimp nor human. The moment the two species diverged, both continue to evolve along their genetic lines...

    OOS - AMD Turion 64 MT37 Lancaster 2.0GHz 1MB L2 Cache Socket 754 Processor - OEM

    I was thinking the same thing, but I have a Ferrari 3400 (its Skt 754, but uses a mobile Athlon 64 3000+ processor). Its been almost 3 years since the last BIOS update, so I don't think it'd recognize it as a Turion, but it might work. But its not worth it for me because if it doesn't work, I...

    Its a good deal, but it doesn't include tax and fees. Tickets from Houston -> Amsterdam cost about 290 bucks, but the fees drove it up to $600! Still a hellulva cheaper than what I expected

    15.4" Acer Dual Core Laptop with 2GB RAM, Dual Layer DVDRW, & X1400 GPU!

    You need to grab the drivers from Acer's PanAm or European site. I picked up one of these puppies and its working great for me. I'm getting about 2.5 hours of battery life (75% web surfing, 20% perl programming and compiles, 5% guild wars ) Now I got sick of the pc being filled with the...

    15.4" Acer Dual Core Laptop with 2GB RAM, Dual Layer DVDRW, & X1400 GPU!

    I'm getting about 2.5-3 hours on mine (mostly surfing and playing with perl, bt off). I'm checking how much the battery will last me with a clean install of xp pro, but it seems about the same. I have to say, the acer power management software is really decent, a lot better than the default...

    2GB Memory Stick PRO DUO now $85.19 AR - Amazing

    Are these good with the PSP? I was originally going to go for the sandisk 2GB ultra's http://www.sandisk.com/Products/Item(12...O_Duo_2GB.aspxy_Stick_PRO_Duo_2GB.aspx[/L], but if it makes no difference with the PSP, I could save 30 bucks :)

    It displays perfectly on our work 2005FPW (1680X1050), so I see no problem extending it out to 1920X1080

    15.4" Acer Dual Core Laptop with 2GB RAM, Dual Layer DVDRW, & X1400 GPU!

    I picked up one of these puppies yesterday and its pretty darn decent. Good points: The screen is gorgeous; it comes with this "crystalbrite" screen (basically a very shiny reflective finish on the lcd) kinda similiar to what sony coats on their vaio's. I don't mind the resolution, simply b/c...

    ::Dead:: 2405FPW on sale!

    Its a gamble, whats incorrect the Title or the Body? Heck, they could've entered in the wrong price OR entered in the wrong model number OR copied the wrong description. I'm just hoping its the latter! ;) Like I said earlier, if the deal falls through, Dell will probably give out some...

    Diamond engagement ring question

    I got mine from mondera.com last year (had a coupon for fifty bucks off, not great but still every bit helps). It was a VS2, H color, round 0.57 carat diamond in the 'hearts and arrow' ideal cut with a platinum band setting and cost me less than $1800. It had some flourescene in it which helped...

    Who loves Tabasco sauce?

    Green tabasco is kinda mild but tasty. If you get the original formula try mixing it up with some ketchup, salt, and pepper, it makes a great sauce for french fries, burgers, and chicken sandwiches!

    Question for cable internet users...

    Best way to find out is plug the coax in your TV and check it out ;) They usually have some sort of hardware filter they plug in at the cable box to block out cable channels (if you're not paying for it), but who knows if the cable install guy got lazy or ran out of filters... We pay for...

    Why did a bunch of my MP3's become 32kb and 1 second long when I backed up? :(

    Did you just disconnect or power-off the external HD before right-clicking on the remove hardware icon? A buddy of mine corrupted his 1gb thumbdrive that way

    Mortgage rates around 5%...who's buying?

    We got a townhouse at 5.5% for a 30yr mortgage in December. :) Watch out for the ones on bankrate; they like to tack on a lot of different fees and what nots. Plus you need extraordinary credit with a decent down payment just to get one of those 5% plans! If you go locally, you'll get better...
