    Basic math fail?

    Sorry forgot to mention. I live in San Bernardino, CA. A cop issued the citation around 1-2 in the morning and was left on our windshields. I guess the money is handled by an outside company because it said to send payment to a Citation Service Center in Santa Ana. I remember being so pissed...

    Basic math fail?

    In January, my car and my parents junky old van got citations. Mine was for blocking the sidewalk for $30. I usually park in the garage but my brother borrowed my car and parked it in the driveway, which blocked the sidewalk. The other was for my parent's van for not having current registration...

    35% off all iPhones (new 3GS 16gb $129), FS.

    I'm looking to get 2 iPhone 3G S, but I think you can only purchase 1 phone online. If I bought one online with the 35% CB, can I get a 2nd iphone at a store for the subsidized price?

    HBO: True Blood

    I watched the 4th episode last night and I don't think I will continue watching it. The way they do cliffhangers is retarded, and that last episode really showed me how the 2 leads chars have absolutely no chemistry. I'd rather just read the books and use my imagination instead.

    HBO: True Blood

    I love the show. It seems to tie in with the books nicely (although I've only read half of the first book).

    laptop not detecting hard drive

    I have a Dell E1505 (purchased in 2005 so no more warranty) and now it's been relegated to the junk pile in my room. It first started when the original hard drive died and the laptop no longer detected the HD. I'm not sure if I can recover the data but its no biggy. So I buy a new hard drive...

    HP Pavilion tx2500z series - touchscreen

    Check out these forums. www.tabletpcreview.com I bought a TX2000z in May and I love it. I use OneNote 2007 for handwritten notes and it does a fairly good job of converting handwriting to text. It isn't automatic but a converter tool that you can use. It converts with a few errors, but I...

    good small tablet

    I just bought an HP TX2000Z Tablet from Costco.com yesterday. If you go to Amazon and search for HP TX2110US they have one for $990 plus a $50 rebate. It has slightly better specs than what I bought (better processor and more ram) and I paid about $950 + tax = $1025 .. I might return it but...

    Best place to register domain?

    With my experience with 1and1, I wouldn't recommend them to anyone. I finally had to transfer to GoDaddy after they kept charging me for domains I know longer owned. I had bought 3 domains about 4 years ago but cancelled 2 after a year. Everytime the one domain I kept was due for renewal, they...

    Windows XP SP2 Laptop Battery Drain Bug fix

    I wonder if this will fix the high pitch whine I get on my laptop. I sent my E1505 to Dell to get my cd drive and whine issue fixed. I got it today. CD is all fixed but I still get that whine. Fiddled with the USB power management before I sent it in and it helped lessen the sound.

    Do you have Coil Whine on your E1505?

    YES! I'm getting it on my E1505 (got it last month) and it drives me nuts. It's louder than any other whine that I get around my main puter or TV. I haven't tried muting the sound to see if it will go away. I will check later. I'm not overly sensitive but the whine from my laptop gets so bad...

    Quite hot - Dell dual core notebook with 7200rpm harddrive $699

    Thanks for pointing out this deal. I ordered one this morning but I left it at 512 mb ram. I might want to upgrade it later but I'm unsure of what I need to get (Notebook newbie). I'm looking at newegg.com now but any advice is appreciated. Cheap is good, but not crappy cheap :) Added: I...
