    And it's not even like you can really take a look at your drive when it's screwed in it's cage...


    thats why you make a custom case to display this drive!
    think about it, with all the time saved in not having to mod the drive for a window it will be a piece of cake to mod your case so you can view the drives! /end of semi-sarcasm

    really i do agree, i cant really think of a mainstream(ish) case that you can easily view the top of the hard drive from.....other than a plexi case, but im not even sure if that is easy viewing.

    Here is the important part:
    Linux and Unix, including the Mac, had 2,328 vulnerabilities last year, compared with 812 vulnerabilities for Microsoft Windows, according to the U.S. government's computer security group.
    Nothing more needs to be said, its self evident.

    you act as if provisional ballots shouldnt exist, while you KNOW that they should. there are myriad reasons why someone cant make it to their home precinct.
    really plase make an argument for why you should ONLy be allowed to vote at your assigned precinct. but please make one besides the obvious "so its easier to check the registered voter list".

    stop using whilst. its annoying.

    if the powersupply is so sensitive to heat maybe MS should have put a sticker on it saying "leave unobstructed".
    you act as if people should KNOW that the powersupply is going to get blazing hot. thing is NO other powersupply that myself or anyone i know gets hot like that. so its not really to be expected.

    on the note of disc scratching by moving the console......again its a case of not so obvious. the key is the drive mechanism used. if they had used Gamecube style the disc is held securely in place so moving it isnt an issue. same with ps1 and dreamcast. so if they had used something else they could avoid this potential problem.
    they prolly looked at the ps2 and found no one had problems with it so they assumed everyone would be fine. which most everyone is, cuz most people understand not to move it while its spinning. seems obvious.

    however its not up to people to make themselves aware of the potential for problems, its up to MS to inform people BEFORE they move it while its on.

    still tho i wont hold the discs against them for people that moved their console while the disc was spinning. power supplies they do lose on tho :)

  13. Majoritatively on DVD Writer RoundUp · · Score: 0

    As you can see from this review, problems continue in terms of media availability for DVD writers - perhaps more than ever. ...
    For this article, we visited all the stores to see what types of media are actually available for sale, and once again the result was most enlightening. You can find 16x-compatible -R and +R discs, but in the other formats they simply aren't out there.</i>

    I wonder how many people practically use anything besides +/- R???

    <i>Makers should be honest with us and change statements like "Writes at 16x" to "Writes at up to 16x."</i>

    umm DUH! i thought that was common knowledge :(

    finally one last complaint: the make comments like "Though we used media certified at 16x and recognized as such by all the writers, we never attained a speed of 16x." they have graphs showing time. How does time correlate to speed? they never bother to mention that.

    just another shameful example of how poor quality toms hardware is nowadays :(

    ps- why no benq review? and like EVERYONE else said, burn quality is important to a very large group of people.

    what dont you understand about massive voter fraud first in florida and second in ohio?

    i never said he stole the election, though he did via the voter fraud.

    i'll give you one quick example since i know its fruitless to explain to you but here goes.

    people who showed up to a precinct that wasnt their home precinct were denied provisional ballots.
    now provisional ballots are used for people that arent on the list of people registered to vote at that particular precinct. this means that there are basically 2 situations where a provisional ballot shoudl be used:
    1) for some reason you just arent on the list at your assigned precinct.
    2) if you goto a precinct that isnt your assigned precinct, therefore you arent on the list at that precinct.

    so when election officials are told to deny provisional ballots to all people that arent at their assigned precinct, in direct violation of federal law, thats considered voter fraud.

    this is but one small example.

    again sorry you believe the propaganda that voter fraud didnt happen, because it most certainly did.
