  1. Re:Is PCMCIA really dead? on A Fond Look at Some Obsolete Ports · · Score: 2

    No, PCMCIA is not dead. New laptops come with ExpressCard slots which is a PCMCIA specification. It is not backwards compatible though, but I have seen adapters.

  2. Re:hold on a sec... on Mark Cuban Calls on ISPs to Block P2P · · Score: 1

    They aren't using my bandwidth for free. I am requesting the information they are sending.

    P2P doesn't steal bandwidth from anybody. It is the ISP selling bandwidth they don't have that is the issue. If using bittorrent at the rate I am paying for slows someone else down on the network, they need to upgrade their network.

  3. SpamGourmet seems better... on Easy Throw-Away Email Addresses · · Score: 1, Informative

    I have been using SpamGourmet http://www.spamgourmet.com/ for a while. It works great and is more flexible. This is going to run into the same problem other services like this do. Sites will simply stop accepting emails from that domain name.

  4. Well... it depends on you. on Is PC World Still Worth the Subscription? · · Score: 1, Informative

    PC World was/is a great magazine if you are a novice. I learned a lot when I started from PC's because of my subscription, and I can see how it can help a lot of people. I just outgrew it eventually, and it didn't hit the more technical details I needed. It just depends on what you are looking for out of it.

  5. What about performance? on EXT4 Is Coming · · Score: 1

    I may be blind but I can't find any info on that. Is it simply going to allow larger file systems? Or will there be performance increases as well?

  6. Re:Reason 11 - no one cares on DVD Format War Already Over? · · Score: 0

    I'm sorry, could you repeat that? My leftish, center, right side, high speaker wasn't aimed correctly. I didn't hear you.

  7. Re:why go to liquid cooling? on Liquid Cooling More than One Component? · · Score: 0

    One word. Noise. That thing is meant for data centers where noise isn't a concern. It is going to be insanely loud. With water, you get better temperatures with less noise.

  8. I can't wait to play it... on 3D Realms Won't Rush Duke Nukem Forever · · Score: 0

    ...while listening to Guns 'N Roses new "Chinese Democracy" album. I don't think Axl is going to rush that out too early either.

  9. Re:You're Forgetting on A 4.1 GHz Dual Core at $130? · · Score: 0

    You don't need good RAM to do it. That is one of the great parts. You are already running the bus so low, even cheap DDR2 is fine. I am using basic value RAM and can run at 4 GHz with no problems. The good stuff would be nice though to get the timings lower. As for the rest, most overclockers already have that stuff. I wouldn't recommend this for my parents, but for me it works out great.

  10. I have one now... on A 4.1 GHz Dual Core at $130? · · Score: 0

    And it is an amazing chip. They don't have a one-off for this article. Everyone is hitting big numbers with these. Mine runs at 3.8 GHz stable. Running dual prime95 all night on both cores caused NO errors at all. I used a 0.1 volt raise which is not a big deal at all on CPU's. This chip is obviously just binned at a lower speed. 3.6 GHz at stock voltage works flawless.

  11. Big surprise? on Memory Manufacturers Could be Cheating · · Score: 0

    I don't think the memory one is really cheating, but it is a little shady. The motherboard with the higher voltage on the other hand seems pretty deliberate.

    The majority of reviews should use store bought components. And not only one, but a few of the same ones, and probably from different vendors. It is the only way to get a good idea of what consumers get. Obviously in the case of unreleased products, this doesn't work. But in those cases, you know there is a good chance the final product will have some changes anyway.

  12. Well let's see here... on US Homeland Security to Support Open Source · · Score: 0

    Instead of choosing which software I want to pay for, the government now chooses which software I have to pay for?

  13. HP and CDW are usually very good on Equipment Suppliers You Can Trust? · · Score: 0

    When something dies, HP usually have the part to us the next day. CDW can also get us things very quick since we are in Chicago.

  14. Since it is from Sony on Ask John Smedley About Star Wars Galaxies · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Does it also come with a free rootkit? Maybe when its own cheats are hidden they will listen to people.

  15. Re:Bayesian Filtering on Osirusoft Blacklists The World · · Score: 1

    That's why I use SpamCop.net It does an excellent job of filtering and also allows you to report spam.
