    Well, times are hard, and many small 'mailed' packages are headed to gold buyers.

    Trouble posting or editing posts in FS/FT forum?

    Anyone know why for the last 2-3 months any time I edit my post (see my sig) in the FS/FT forum, it times out rather than accepting the edited version? I even tried cut/paste the post into a new forum thread (with plans to kill the old one). I just get a 'internet explorer cannot display...

    New forum software?

    Thank god! For those of you who don't realize, the initial PM between users in FS/FT is usually the one with the most detail about an offer. Once you've read it, you have to jump through all sorts of hoops to read it again (so far, I've only been able to make one unread in a view where I...

    New forum software?

    FT 3.0 has killed the sale/trade forum for me. Without my need to idle here for that forum, my participation in the site/forums in general will diminish. Please move to a new forum software, as fusetalk is obviously trash. They haven't fixed any of the 2008 errors yet and more than half the...

    Top Priority FuseTalk Issues 2008

    Dude.. come on. Six months and only *ONE* issues is fixed. If my company treated providers like AT this way, we wouldn't have any customers. How freaking hard is it to change an integer in the code to pull the first message.

    Top Priority FuseTalk Issues 2008

    Yeah, I'm about to quit trading here altogether. A bug like this is worthy of a rollback, but noones seems to care about FS/FT. My trading has detereorated here to nearly zilch because once I've read a PM it takes an act of congress to respond to it later (or to even figure out what terms...

    Top Priority FuseTalk Issues 2008

    :signed: I have the hardest time keeping track of FS/FT: deals now since everythign occurs in PM there and it's so very difficult to see the series of messages in PMs. I'm sure this is going to cause psuedo-troll style posts because people get confused. It's hard enough to avoid...

    Dell 3007WFP-HC versus HP LP3065: More DVI inputs or a newer model?

    That samsung is identical to the Dell 3007wfp-hc.. suprise. Hell, even the stand looks similar.

    Dell 3007WFP-HC versus HP LP3065: More DVI inputs or a newer model?

    Anyone want one of these without an xps rig? See the one in my sig that came with it's own service tag and 1070+ days of warranty remaining.

    Which Corporation is the greatest Evil known to mankind?

    The media groups are the most evil becuase they have their fingers into almost every content and outlet in the US (and the world), and wield and misuse the power to sway public opinion. In effect, they are already on their way to puppeteering the entire populace for financial and political...

    WIP: Karaktu's (and Zap's!) Unofficial Guide to mobile Celeron overclocking success!

    FYI, my P4-M 1.6ghz running in a P4P800-E Deluxe with S478 mounted Zalman CNPS7000AlCu does not need the penny for me. It makes excellent contact and cools better without the lapped penny shim than with (in fact, in my upright case, having AS5 on both sides of the shim caused to to eventually...

    Parents Suing Nissan After Dad Accidentally Runs Over Their Daughter

    pwned It sucks, but this happens all the time. It's not the car maker's fault, for sure, but it is a heart break. I don't know why people in those jury's think awarding a huge cash settlement will make the pain of a terrible loss go away. Litigation is out of control in this country.

    X800XL SLI vs One vs 6600GT SLI vs One Any bench tests?

    BTW, this suggests that the next ATI chip (R520) is going to best 6800SLI even on their prized Doom3 benchmarks, and I bet it will cost less than the $1000 tag 6800GTxSLI or 6800UltraxSLI fetches today. So you really have to ask yourself, is it worth buying into SLI today when tomorrow...

    X800XL SLI vs One vs 6600GT SLI vs One Any bench tests?

    The vast majority of gamers do not play 1600x1200 4x8x. I'd estimate 1/3 of them are using CRT's and playing at 1024x768. I'd estimate another 1/3 are using either 17" or 19" LCDs and play at 1280x1024. That squarely puts 16x12@4x8x as elitist, and I'd also bet that the vast majority of...

    X800XL SLI vs One vs 6600GT SLI vs One Any bench tests?

    I think a better benchmark is 'slowest frame rate over any 1 second throughout a longer demo', not average frame rate. I have no evidence to support my suspicions, but I'd be willing to wager there is less than a 25% difference between the slowest frame rate in taxing moments between X800XL and...

    X800XL SLI vs One vs 6600GT SLI vs One Any bench tests?

    2 Points for anyone late reading this thread like me: 1) New games rarely stay above 60fps in all scenarios, especially faster action games with complicated character models (ie, unreal). They *average* high frame rates for benchmarks, but when the action really hits - which is when you...

    Anybody RMA Patriot Memory?

    Thanks, and yes, you're correct. They guarantee the 533mhz stability. I only RMA'd because I could show that a competitor's memory (Corsair) would run 23mhz faster (still only topping out at 253mhz) than their memory in the exact same setup. What's more, the memory is TCCD on Brainpower PCB...

    This magazine blows chunks.. ESPECIALLY the hardware reviews. Read this month's issue where Darren, a senior editor, reviews the new BenQ FP71G+ and talks absolute trash about the monitor.. which he tested at 1024x768 and 800x600 (because it has a VGA connector and no DVI, so the resolution...

    Anybody RMA Patriot Memory?

    Be very careful. I'm getting the runaround from them as I type this. They took 3 weeks to RMA my memory (even though they said 5-10 days). They sent me back memory that is no better than what I sent in. I RMA'd their cream of the crop 3200+XBLK series (TCCD on Brainpower supposedly). It...

    lol, just to pipe in: I picked up a P4-M 1.6 from bigbadbiologist in time to build a PC for Valentine's day for the girlfriend. I put the processor in an ASUS P4P800-E Deluxe and opted to use the copper shim he provided me (looking strangely like a penny sized piece of copper) with some...

    What if Bush has been right about Iraq all along?

    I agree. Whoa, dude. Is this a joke? I think a few key successful capitalist economies blooming in the region will eventually overtake the weeds. Think of it as a sort of "Centipede Grass Plug" strategy to growing a fertile lawn of democracy and prosperity in the region. I thought we...

    What if Bush has been right about Iraq all along?

    This is quite simply untrue. There has a been a movement in Washington to decapitate the Hussein dictatorship since before Clinton. Clinton let the UN tell him what to do, rather than doing what was necessary. Bush was already beginning the plans to scale up the Iraq issue prior to 9/11. The...

    You asked for the data from before the planning of the invasion, that goes back 10 years (or easily measurable according to conjur to Sept 12, 2001). You were vague. If you want to work from March 2003 to Jan 2005, that means you want to discount the spiraling stock values from 2001 to 2003...

    What if Bush has been right about Iraq all along?

    Change is painful. That's a simple fact of life. Bigger change is usually more painful. That is the tendency of life. If what Bush has accomplished as the figurehead for our nation in Afghanistan and Iraq are not "right" in your mind, then I suspect you're not American. If you are...

    What if Bush has been right about Iraq all along?

    What exactly was Bush wrong about? Weapons of Mass Destruction? He had live SCUDs, those were banned by the UN after the invasion of Kuwait. We found them. He used Serin gas on his own people, effectively attempting racial cleansing genocide. If that's not a WMD with intent, I don't...

    The vast majority of oil profits go to 2nd and 3rd world OPEC nations who have something of a stranglehold on the U.S. and other 1st world countries because of their abuse of Oligopoly style price setting to maintain ridiculous profit margins on their Oil exports.

    What if Bush has been right about Iraq all along?

    We give the title to ourselves. It's what moral people do, they fight for what they believe is right. The bottom line is that US efforts are not perfect. However, the alternative is to return to the world of 1900 (which is when we began exerting Democratic power to end the Age of Imperialism...
