    What to do with 20mbps upstream

    I just discovered that Verizon has a 20/20 fios option at my address, so naturally I upgraded without having the slightest idea what I'm going to do with all of that upstream bandwidth. Anybody have a suggestion? Currently I'm thinking about...

    iPhone fiasco on AT&T's online store

    I have been pulling my hair out dealing with AT&T this past week. I started a blog to try to publicize their antics. Depending on who you are and how close you are to the situation, it's either entertaining, sad, or extraordinarily frustrating. Give it a read and see what you think...

    Asus M2NPV-VM Video Problem

    Every time I go into the bios using the onboard DVI for video, the display goes into this weird pattern. The screen will flicker a few times with horizontal and vertical lines over the image, then a copy of the screen image will scroll up from the bottom over the original then back down. That...

    ATX power switch w/o mobo

    I have a "stand-alone" cd duplication controller that uses a 4-pin molex power connector. I also have an ATX power supply I'm trying to use with it, but obviously I'm having a little trouble getting it to power up without installing a motherboard in the case, thereby defeating the purpose of...

    Linux for CD Duplication Tower

    I'm looking for a Linux distro to use for a cd duplcation tower. Right now it'd just be a small 3-burner setup using the onboard ide controllers but in the future I might want to expand using a promise or other ide controller. It'd be going on a relatively slow machine and I'll only need it...

    HP 300i $20 AR OMax YMMV

    Yesterday some lucky customer picked up an HP 300i dvd burner for $50 with a $30 MIR at Office Max. I'm pretty sure it was a clearance deal, but we were all pretty surprised at the rebate. Seems worth checking out to me. YMMV of course.
