Time Warner Cable cancels usage caps

I live in an area affected by the forthcoming caps. They are now saying they will have a "super 100GB tier". The cost for this tier will be "significantly higher" than the 40gb tier. I just want to know what I can do. The ONLY other provider in my area is DSL through the phone company which...

Samsung 931b 19 inch LCD (8ms with DVI) for $122.99 (+sales tax) at Staples (8-6 to 8-12) - (YMMV)

I also posted this deal at FW and some people are getting the pricematch and rebates, so keep trying. Office Depot has the LCD for 329-70 rebate so you can also try pricematching there with the Best Buy ad.

Whoaaa Xmen The Last Stand made $107 million in three days over the weekend

I saw Xmen 3 last night. At least as good as the other two I thought. Less character development, but the plot and effects were better in part 3. Worth the $5.50 I paid. Beast was surprisingly decent also. Only bad things : (very minor) 1. All the "bad" mutants are dressed like homeless...

DEAD: Free Coke 2 Liters!

Anyone having luck with these coupons at Target? I'm hoping they will be more "tolerant" of these coupons than some of the other grocery stores I have tried. (p.s. - I recommend the Minute Maid Light - it is very good.)

500GB Maxtor SATAII or PATA $230 shipped at Outpost.com

This is TRUE. I know from personal experience. Maxtor claims that a new firmware will fix the problem, but data corruption is also a REAL POSSIBILITY with the Nforce4 chipset, large files, and Maxtor SATA drives.

Babylon 5 DVDs price drop

Just to chime in, B5 was AWESOME. Entertaining, challenging, epic, great acting and characters, etc. SO MUCH MORE rewarding than botched/failed shows such as Andromeda, Earth Final Conflict, etc. I love Trek also, but B5 was GRIPPING (like the new Battlestar and Lost).

Quicktime 7 HIJACKS mp3 links on web pages

It opens in internet explorer, it does not launch the player. With quicktime 6, this was no problem. I could click on an mp3 link and it would launch winamp and play the file. With quicktime 7, it HIJACKS MP3 links and nothing can be done about it.

Yes, I looked at all of the File Associations options. Even if you UNCHECK mp3 files, it will still play mp3 links in quicktime. Clicking on a mp3 file anywhere else plays in winamp (as it should). I think Apple (CRAPple) did this on purpose.

The only way to get it to stop hijacking mp3 links on web pages is to uninstall quicktime. But then I can't play quicktime trailers. I know there is "quicktime alternative" but it won't play newer quicktime content because apple is always changing their codecs. Is there a way to hack the...

For the cpu, I would like to stay under $500. For the ram, I would like to stay under $250. For the motherboard and power, cost doesn't matter. I will be using a 7800gtx for the video card.
