Not only is it just 1 gig of newsgroup downloads a month, that also includes headers. You can shoot your wad just looking at one of the big Mp3 groups before you even do any downloading. Comcast blows. I miss @Home!
It would be cool to have a multi-disc player that did VCD and SVCD. That way I wouldn't have to get my lazy ass off up the couch to change discs of bootlegged movies. God bless Usenet!!

YMMV on this deal but check it out- I had one of those 10% off coupons from a magazine for computer peripherals at BB. I brought up one of these 100pk of Fuji CDr and expected to get 2.59 off of 25.99 making it $5.40 plus tax after rebates($18.00). When she scanned the coupon it took $10 off...
Anybody seen a Logitech wireless controller yet? They sent out a press release stating that they shipped on the 3rd but nobody seems to be carrying them yet. Buy.com plans on selling them for $55.97

I just checked this deal out. The retention is about one-sixth of Usenetserver and the speed is also about one-fifth to one-sixth of Usenetserver. Waiting for word on the cancellation now.
Not hot is the fact that Xbox Live and modchips aren't compatible, but oh well I didn't really think it was going to work anyway. Hey when are the wireless controllers coming out???
Whey is the most bioavailable protein there is. It's the most ideal protein you can get. You couldn't utilize all the protein in those egg whites. Whey is also known to have anticarcinogenic properties.
Anyone seen a place that sells the Riteks with the copper/amber dye layer instead of purple? They get sold under the CompUSA label and work great. They seem to work in everything. I haven't seen a bulk place selling them.
Meritline is a good cheap source for DVD-r and +r. They have a cool sampler pack of their media so you can try 'em out and see what works in your set-top player or Xbox or PS2. There is occasionally coupon codes floating around too.
I wish someone would release their wireless controller soon. I'm sick of my wife winding the cable up on the controller and throwing it back in the entertainment center. Although I have to agree it doesn't look good to have a 15' foot cable stretched across the room to the couch.

Craftsman mowers and snow blowers are kind of a crapshoot. They're made by different manufacturers. Some are good, some not. YMMV . I'd definitely like a Honda engine in my mower though.

I picked one up today on my lunch hour and paid full price. I drove by MicroCenter on the way home and picked up an ad and found out they were out of stock until tomorrow night. I went over to a nearby Best Buy and got shot down. She told me "there's 2 reasons we can't do it- 1. They don't have...
Look at Meritline for some decent prices on media. They offer a sampler pack so that you can try different media and see how they work on your set-top DVD players or Xboxes or what have you.

Hey SirDante-
I would say it probably averages out to about 500kbps. It seems to slow down and ramp back up again constantly now. I'm still fairly pleased. I defy anyone to tell us about a hotter deal on usenet!
CB666
I've been using them for about the past week and have been fairly satisfied. The speeds have been pretty good at a solid 1.5 Mbps. The bigger groups like cd.image and the like seem to have about a 10 day retention period. The retention may not be as good as Easynews but damn 20 gig per day! This...
I don't know if somebody mentioned this or not but Best Buy has back-to-school coupons that you can get at the customer service (I use that term loosely) desk. Inside is a $5.00 coupon for video games, video game accesories, or pc games. I scored a Xbox DVD kit for $26.49 after tax and a Radica...
One of the coolest things about the Xbox mods is the ability to boot regular cdr-cdrw-dvd-r-dvd-rw so that you can use homebrew apps. Someone has developed a media player that streams divx, mpeg, vcd, mp3 and other media formats from your PC to your Xbox across the network at your house. Super...
Hey jwells777
You're misinterpreting the wattage designations. The 400w power consumption rating is correct it's roughly ~3.25 amps of current draw. The audio power output is based on the circuit and the individual channels IC's or transistors. Denon doesn't fudge numbers at all. On the...
Hey djbacklash- I've used the CompUSA DVD-r's with good success in my Xbox. They are consistent which is more than I can say than the CDRs I've thrown at it.

Hopefully these are better than the Power Pad by Inter Act for the Xbox. They BLOW! No comparison to the Microsoft controllers. The $25 S controller from Buy.com is a sweet deal.

Seems like an ice cold deal to me. I refuse to pay any more than .10 a piece for TY's. If they're not TY's than .05 max. Too many good deals out there to do this one. Be creative.

I scored an OEM from Royal Computer for $268.50 shipped. It was at my house in about 3 days after ordering. Works like a champ! It's now at $251 with free ground shipping! Now if only my Enigmah would show up !!!

If anybody needs XP drivers for a Umax 3400, PM me your email address and I'll send them to you. It was a little tricky getting it to work like it did in Win98, but it does work. I also have the 98/ME drivers if you need those also.

There's a bunch of "backups" floating around Usenet right now. There seems to be a big burst since about mid-May when the Enigmah and Extender chips were first hitting the scene. I'm still wondering how long it takes to burn a full dvd-r at 2X speed ?
CB666
If you can't make dupes yourself (the backwards thing) why bother chipping your XBOX? What sort of "backups" does it play? Does the XBOX play backups in dvd-r or dvd-rw format?
