  1. forget battery on Six Laptops That Don't Burn · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    Heat doesnt matter if the stupid thing has a crappy little 1280x800 screen... thats just sad... What is up with all the new laptops having that? My 4 year old $1000 laptop runs a 1400x1050 on a 15" screen but I can't find anything like that anymore that isn't over 2 grand.

  2. Re:Consider a Projector on Large Format TV Options? · · Score: 1

    this is off topic, but what does he use as a TV tuner? We get free basic cable so I dont want to get satellite, or digital cable, but I'm tring to convince my roomate to buy a projector for like games and movies and stuff. I can't find a stand alone TV tuner...

  3. Re:What about Redbox? on Netflix vs. Blockbuster Revisited · · Score: 1

    Redbox is awesome... HEB here in Texas does some crappy nock off but the redbox interface is a lot better. Too bad they arn't everywhere... McDonalds needs to go nationwide with it already.. they would get a lot more of my money... I just want to watch the move not buy the damn thing... $5 blockbuster rentals are nuts...

  8. Re:This happened a long time ago... on G4 Moves Further From Technology Roots · · Score: 1

    I miss leo, kate and the fridge... what ever happened to that? :( maybe they can just reform ZDTV and break off from G4

  9. What's going to happen to the G4 minis? on Apple Announces Wonderful Toys · · Score: 1

    Too bad apple never drops their prices...

  10. Re:The real quetsion is... on Another Ars Ultimate Budget Box · · Score: 1

    no, cause after a few "upgrades" of osX versions it would cost double... can someone explain that? I want a mini when the new ones come out, but I dont want to have to drop $130 each time they want to add another decimal point to the end... at least Microsoft keeps OSs around for a while. Can't complain about Linux free rocks... go Mepis

  11. Re:Weird... on Marfa Lights Explained · · Score: 3, Informative

    "Robert Ellison came to Marfa in 1883 and off-loaded his cattle in Alpine. He then drove the herd west and on the second night out, while camped just outside Paisano Pass, he saw strange lights in the distance. At first, it was feared that they were Apache signal fires. Mr. Ellison searched the countryside by horseback. He finally realized that the lights were not man-made. Other early settlers assured him that they too had seen the lights and had never been able to identify them." from the first thing google came up.. yeah no cars in west texas in 1883 I guess thats why they go to UTD...

  12. I dont know about traffic in England... on Ramp Creates Power As Cars Pass · · Score: 1

    Here in Texas we have to go from a greater to a lesser speed comming down an offramp so you end up just not having to use your breaks as much... my only qualm is that that looks a lot like a ramp that would send my car flying at 70mph... unless it slams down realy realy fast, realy realy hard like i guess it does, but then how long would that last? Sounds like they will be spending a lot more than the 25000 pounds for this idea...

  13. Next Door on Paramount Sues Ohio Man For $100,000 · · Score: 2, Funny

    That is why you use the next door neighbor's wi-fi... maybe being in jail will keep him from blasting the TV all night... secure your wireless, or have the MPAA come after you...
