Knicks trade

I'm really torn on this as a knicks fan. As a complement to Curry, it works offensively because Zach is a good face-up player. Defensively, this is trouble, but Frye wasn't a good help defender himself. Curry isn't a bad offensive rebounder either, so he won't be useless without the ball. I...

Samsung 500GB SATA II $139 shipped (OEM 16MB Cache 7200RPM) @ newegg

I'm pretty sure all Samsung drives carry a 3-year warranty, but I can't find anything on Samsung's site to back that up.

Silverstone Sugo $79.99+shipping

Great deal on a great case. Shame it's not the black one though.

Charles Barkley is an IDIOT!

Chuck is just there to make things colorful, not necessarily for his insight. He fills his role pretty well. I can't imagine anyone would rather watch the espn guys. Greg Anthony and Tim Legler are as dry as it gets. On top of that, they have as little credibility as former players can have. I'm...

Anyone here have CRT (Corneal Refractive Therapy) Contact Lenses?

I looked at these before when I was checking out options. I never really got a clear answer on one question: How uncomfortable are they to wear? Are they uncomfortable enought to cost you sleep? I'm sure they are more noticeable than soft lenses, but how much?

Good games that werent popular

I'll second Mafia and Citizen Kabuto, both already mentioned. Mafia is still the best "sandbox action" game to date. Very intense at times. I still remember coming to these forums and reading a thread about people not being able to pass the first race at the track because they were using a...

Please recommend a tv tuner that's fully functional in Linux

I thought I'd update this thread with my choice in case someone finds themselves in a similar position. I ended up going with the Lifeview LifeTV Platinum LP. It uses the saa7133 module. This card has similar (excellent) picture quality as my old TV880 (cx88 card). The saa7133 driver is actually...

Please recommend a tv tuner that's fully functional in Linux

I currently have an Asus tv880 and a Hauppauge wintv-pvr-150 and I'm not totally satisfied with either. I use svideo with audio from line-in exclusively, and tvtime is my viewer of choice. The tv880 gives great picture quality, but I can't get any audio from this card. It's not an officially...

Linux media player?

I use foobar2000 via wine. I haven't found anything comparable for linux, even though I'd rather use a linux native program.

Jorn Lande - formerly of Masterplan. Also was part of the Allen/Lande project called "The Battle". That's guy's spectacular.

Chrono Trigger inducted into gamespot's greatest games of all time

There was supposed to be a third in this series. Chrono Trigger > Chrono Cross > Chrono Break. I'm guessing Break will never see the light of day. CT is still my favorite game ever. Most of my favorites list comes from those golden SNES days.

NY Knicks, Worst team for Most money in the HISTORY of sports.

Van Horn for Thomas? Well, it didn't turn out well. I saw what he was thinking, though. Isiah's mantra since he got here was "younger and more athletic". Tim was certainly more athletic, but far less productive. Van Horn was a regular 20 & 10 or 20 & 8 guy at that point. He was having a career...
