Napster Replacement

Waaaaay off topic, but: linky This has the best GUI of any of the services based on the FastTrack protocol stack. Basically, it's Gnutella done right: no centralized servers, but completely functional. Yes, as good as Napster, I daresay. Too bad FastTrack is a closed protocol: there are lots...

16x CDR - 50 Pack FRY'S B&M - $7.00

Which reminds me, I've heard that CDR prices are supposed to shoot up this summer as the demand starts to outstrip supply and the current glut of CDRs dries up. Can anyone confirm?

Free Book--Does Honor Have a Future?

It's a joke. Paying for "Does Honor Have a Future" on the honor system... never mind.

Free Book--Does Honor Have a Future?

It's not free. They send you the book first, and then you're supposed to send them $24.95 when it comes. ;)

!HOT! Rio 500 and HP8432 for $199

Does anyone know what goes into verifying these purchases? I.E. are they going to send the receipt back to CompUSA to verify that it was legit, or otherwise examine my order in the CompUSA system? I'll cut right to the chase: would it be possible to just forge a receipt? Obviously not easy if...

Request: Good deal on a plextor 12/10/32

Hint: A lot of vendors are selling rebadged Plextors, such as Iomega, TDK, and (I have a suspicion) Cendyne. Don't limit your search just to good deals on name-brand Plextors.

Mercata Going Out of Business Sale

Kwad Guy you are more right that you even know about EToys. Please call 310-998-6005 for more information (a local call if you are in LA, which I gather many are). If that's not a fancy way of saying "Chapter 7! Chapter 7!", I don't know what is. Just try it :) Thanks for FC for this.

Smokin' - Creative 12X Encore DVD w/ PCI DXR3 decoder for $95.95

Roger that. RealMagic updates their drivers more diligently that Creative Labs. Search around on the net for a patch that will allow you to install RealMagic H+ drivers on your Dxr3 for added stability. As for someone saying that this product was obsolete, there's not that much more you can do...

Sam's - look for Verbatim 10x CDRW dics 5pack for $10 next visit

Can anyone give me some info on what makes a good CDRW? I know all about CD-Rs and the desirability of pthalocyanine, etc. What about for CDRWs? Are these Verbatims worth a look? Thanks

Iomega 12x10x32 CDRW (burnproof) drive for $99.99...

Give this deal another month or two. Heard it through the grapevine that Iomega is seeing some tough financial times as of late. What else would explain CompUSA dumping these things for almost $200 off? Take this with a grain of salt, but certain "insiders" at other spots on the net...

Linux Kernel 2.4.0 or the final version is out !!!!!!!!

trend, that is possibly the most boneheaded piece of advice I have ever read here, and that says a lot considering where we are. FYI 2.3 kernels are less stable that 2.4, not more. Complaining about kernel bloat and the creeping feature creature etc. etc. just reeks of that typical clueless...

$100 credit for stores like amazon and buy.com for joining....

Can someone give me the Cliff's Notes as to what orderbox is? They want me to download some crap and then probably spy on my browsing habits... ? Unfortunately it's probably not gonna happen on Linux.

50% off EVERYTHING at EToys UK

Good deal if you live in Britain, I suppose: the UK branch of EToys is shutting down for good and selling everything at half off. More details here. This goes until Jan. 19. I'm not sure if they will ship to US addresses or if the added cost of shipping would actually make it worthwhile.

This isn't that good of a deal. As we learned with the Voodoo 2, then with the Riva TNT 2, then with the TNT2 Ultra, then with the Geforce, etc. etc., basically every card with a given chipset performs within ~5% of each other regardless of who manufactured it. Given that a 64mb GF2 Ultra by...
