[dead unless they forgot shelf tag, $49.99] Mintek 1600 DVD player @ target $39.99 VCD/SVCD,mp3,raw mpg,cdr,cdrw etc

Nope. The opposite is in fact true. The new ones have no indication that they play SVCD or VCD on the unit, but they nonetheless play them perfectly right out of the box. The older ones say that they can play VCD, but you have to hack it to play SVCD.

[dead unless they forgot shelf tag, $49.99] Mintek 1600 DVD player @ target $39.99 VCD/SVCD,mp3,raw mpg,cdr,cdrw etc

This is a really hot deal, I'd highly recommend this player above any comprable Apex model. It doesn't feel as cheap, and there were a few SVCDs I tried on the Apex that wouldn't play correctly. The Mintek plays everything.

Dlink DWL 650 Wireless Cardbus Card - $20 AR, Free shipping

http://www.techdepot.com/product.asp?ProductID=110121&IID=365 Searched for 'dlink' and 'dwl 650' and couldn't find anything, so don't shoot me if this is a repost. This is a decent card if you don't need it to run in Linux.

The meaning of "patriot"

I disagree. Sure, it's an acronym, but why was PATRIOT chosen over any other random jumble of letters? There has to be a reason. How about Patriot Missles? No cribbing :)! The idea is to get a definition of patriot in common usage, NOT any static definition. The lexicon moves faster than any...

The meaning of "patriot"

Even if you don't think anybody else on the list is patriotic, which do you think are more patriotic than the others? I agree that Thomas Jefferson is undoubtedly the most patriotic person on the list (that's one of the reasons I put it there) but is Harry S. Truman more or less patriotic than...

APEX AD-1500 $53 at Fry's

I guess the deal doesn't apply to all stores. When I went to the Fremont Fry's about two weeks ago they had the same DVD player for $53. I neglected to pick it up, the dope that I was, because I didn't know if it was able to play burned VCDs. By the time I had done my research and went back a...

Thermaltake 7+ VS. 9 which HS is better?

I have no experience with the 7, but I just got the 9. It's really loud on it's highest speed, but it cools rather well it think. I was idling at around 59C with the AMD stock HSF, and at full blast (5000RPM) the Tt 9 brought my temps down to around 45C. Even adjusting the fan down to ~1300...

Intel pci hardware modem ~ $15 shipped

I have this modem, AND I ordered from this guy/company on eBay. It's not a true hardware modem so their advertising was a little deceptive, and it drops connections inexpicably. But, "justmodem" ships pretty fast and is a pretty good seller. This modem is supposed to work in Linux, FYI.

This has to be one of the stupidest songs ive ever heard... STP - Dead and Bloated

That's actually one of the best cuts on that album, though "Crackerman" is by far the best IMO. In fact, STP is one of the few bands I listened to as a pimply faced teenager that I'm not ashamed to admit I still like now.

Just saw Vanilla Sky and i'm still reeling.

Um, please die. Vanilla Sky was good up until the OVERLY EXPOSITORY AND PATRONIZING SCENES at the end. It even went so far as to blatantly point out all the symbolism and every metaphor in the movie (eg. the "Freewheelin' reference), and I felt like I was in high school English all over again...

ComGeeks has a great looking 350 watt case for under $35: Is it any good?

I have a 'Fudin' case similar to this one that I got at Fry's for about $60. Well, it's actually exactly the same, the only difference is the PSU is a little better (178w on TCO on 3.3 and 5v rails, 350w total) and it comes with 6(!) fans. I like it a lot, but I think it has some airflow...

11-bay atx case w/ 350W PSU from compgeeks - $34.95+shipping

For those curious, the PSU in the case I got was a "Raidmax" 350 watt. It has a combined 3.3V & 5.0V rail wattage of about 178W, which is ample for an XP, but not enough for say a Thunderbird. I don't know what the fuss is about though, it runs my system fine with basic components (Network Card...

I don't know where you're getting your hard drives, but my hard drives fit. Hard drive sizes are standardized to 3.5", unless you have some crap like the 5.25" Quantum Bigfoot. P4 ready usually implies XP ready-- my system is a Athlon 1800+ XP and I've had no problems.
