HOT: Neargear 802.11G router - $29.99 @ BB B&M and Bestbuy.com - NO rebate

hi guys, I have this router. Bought it for about $100 a long while ago (due to my other breaking down). Let me just say I think this router blows chunks. It will not allow you to open ports for multiple computers on the network like the Linksys I had did. So, if you wanted to open a port...

Question about laptop backpacks

I have never seen or used any of those. However, I have had quite a few laptop backpacks (Brenthaven, a few Targus) and a Timbuk2. The brenthaven was my favorite, but the price is high. Then I stumbled on to one of these locally: http://www.ospreypacks.com/focus_flux.htm BEST BACKPACK...

Am I the only one that thinks the Ipod sucks?

I have had 2 ipods. First one broke from just basic use (not dropped, not beat on, just used like it should be). It flat out just died. The second ipod was given to me because it was broken, partially anyway. I can only use about 4GB of the 15GB before the thing crashes and the battery lasts...

Any of you guys use Winamp?

In iTunes can you change the default output data format and output method? All my music is uncompressed wav and I like to listen to it unbutchered (bit perfect playback). When you have a nice audio system you can really tell the difference.

3 U.S. film studios to release 89 films on HD DVD in late 2005

Like 2 years ago? Like where the hell have you been? It came out in 1997. Hardly like 2 years ago. The quality of DVD sucks. The resolution of DVD is only 720x480. Perhaps you still run your monitor at 640x480 because you can still see the screen. I would rather have blu-ray...

quick review of the IBM Thinkpad R40

I also payed ~$4000 for thinkpad 600 in 1998 (more like $4500). I compared to current models before getting my dell 8600 and the Dell was very impressive. The thinkpads were not even close to considering for the price (I was looking at T40P and R50P). Chris

Agreed, but I am just saying that you don't have to pay $1000 for the HD Tivo. Also, everyone I have talked to that has both cable and DirecTV (yes, some people actually do) the Tivo interface and useability is far better then anything else currently offered. The Voom option sounds...

I'm thinking of getting a Civic Si when I graduate. How far in price difference are you people getting quoted on for a RSX-S? When I looked (briefly albeit) the price difference was so large it scared me away. I am talking new only. Chris

This is almost my exact system, but I got 1.7 P-M and 512 Ram and 30 GB HD (figured I could get a better one from Newegg cheaper). But my cost with 3 yr complete care was just over $1300.

Are you saying that they want to output HTML code from within the class methods? That is definitely a no no. Especially if you ever want to edit your HTML code and change stuff.
