Looking for a cheap digital camera that doesn't suck

Fuji F20. End of story. Nothing else for $100 AR even comes close. Not even close. It blows away $300 - $350 cameras from Canon from image quality department.

Notebook Sata drives

Hitachi 7k200 (7200rpm, @ 200 gb) Seagate 250gb (5400, @ 250gb) Both are shipping, but only available to Dell/Alienware now. (You can buy the 250gb one from Dell Spare Parts directly though) I'd get the former if SSDs don't come down in price before that thing comes out!

Improving System Responsiveness

So I just want to get input from some of you experts here. For those of us who run everyday things (such as Itunes,tons of windows for multitasking, Bitcomet in background, AIM, Word/Excel etc), don't encode tons of Divx or run extremely processor demanding applications like Folding @ Home...

Job interview

Holy Yuck. Some people have no sense of fashion... Anyway, to the OP: As a *Manager*, you want to dress formally. You can decide how formal you want, but you should err on the side of formal, rather than informal. Suit? Check. Tie? Check. Nice pressed Shirt? Check. Nice black dress shoes (or...

ATi versus nVidia: Pointless Poll

Lol, my bias towards ATI is because I think Red is better than Green. Well anyway, in terms of buying decisions, all things equal (including drivers!), I would buy ATI, but performance determines foremost.. would never buy a equally priced underperforming ATI.

Folding @ home...

Seems like the the PS3 and the ATI GPUs work so much better, do people actually still use their CPUs to fold? I don't know if this is the case with the other DC clients...

Gamestop, EB, Target and Circuit City to have Nintendo Wii for 4-29-07

Of course. Just like the Gamecube, DS lite etc. Black is more appealing in general, which is why people will buy the Wii for it's other factors first, then buy it again a black one came out.

Dual Boot Problem with Vista ultimate 64 and XP

That is odd... Anyway, Vista does NOT read Boot.ini. You need to use Vista's bootloader to dual boot XP + Vista, you can't use Boot.ini.

Vista doesn't use Boot.ini , it uses a new Bootloader. Download EasyBCD and run it within Vista, and change the Boot config. Alternatively, format your HD, install XP first onto one partition, then Vista onto another. The problem is you installed Vista first.

Fast Readyboost vs Slow Readyboost

I see. Well I would like to buy that Corsair Turboflash.. except it's only 1GB and dirt ugly. So now I'm looking for a fast 2GB or 4GB stick to use. I already have a Sandisk Cruzer Micro that works with Readyboost... but I'm not really sure how fast it is... this is what Event Viewer gives me...
