Everyone's using DELLs

I've been building PCs and servers since 1995 but I wouldn't shy away from recommending a Dell (I would not recommend Sony though). The main reasons? Price and ubiquity. Dell's machines are super cheap and most a very well-built. Yes, sometimes they have systems where many parts have limitations...

online bill payment - do you do it?

I've been using Bank of America's online bill pay since it was introduced 2 years ago. Still, I prefer pointing all my bills to my creditcard(s) then, at the end of the month, pay the creditcard balance online (keeping a PDF copy of the confirmation) while waiting for my paper statement.

Neutral at a red light?

Okay so I know nothing about car but can anybody tell me if it's safe to put your car in Neutral when waiting for a green light (as opposed to leaving it in Drive gear and braking)? Of course, I'd still brake but leaving it in Neutral feels like I'm putting less stress on the car.

PSA: Sony warns customers over leaked PSP update...

So what is the REAL price? I saw some preorder offers on Ebay for around $220 USD while many sites are stating prices of $300 USD and over. I have an EBGames preorder for $20 but they have no information whatsoever about the PSP (I just called and asked again 4 days ago).

I preordered a PSP with my friend at EB way back in November. They still haven't gotten any info. on the preorder yet. So, without knowing the final price, I don't want to go ahead and preorder another one, especially since there are many rumors that the US version will hit $300 or even $350...

Dell PowerEdge SC420 Server $229 after coupon

This sounds good until you realize that you could not use regular DDR memory in this server. It only accepts DDR2 (and non-ECC DDR2 modules are just as expensive as the ECC version). This will significantly reduce your sellability (is that a word?) of this system without memory. I bought two...

I totally agree. However, seeing that you can win a Z4 for $5k by just having an Amex card will go a long way towards convincing non-Amex users to switch. I've been using Blue for a while and I love it. It's my favorite card out of about 5. That Point Reward program rocks. Their online billing...

I saved $1500 on a plasma screen waiting in line since 1am until I finally pick it up at 1pm the same day. 12 hours for $1500. An yeah, this year's BF deals suck. I got in on the $40 DL DVD burner and $10 256MB mini cruzer at Staples but those deals are nothing to write home about.

Get a timesync software to sync your computer's clock. Should help. Then again, which time is Amex syncing their server's clock with? Scam? Yes. For all you know, their clocks may be 3 minutes after the fact but they configured their server to tell you you've missed the deal even 2 minutes after...

The B1G1F coupon is officially dead. I've tried it at stores from which I was able to use the coupon a day ago and they turned it down. They said corporate specifically instructed them to not accept this coupon. Still, at $35 for 100, it's a good deal especially for the japan-made media.
