I use the Usenet for most of my computer hardware/software issues. The reason is simple: the Usenet is an open forum and threads don't get locked just because someone decides they don't like what you are saying. The price you pay is the occasional troll and spam, but it's a price worth paying...
The feeling I've come away with today is that the Hot Deals forum on AT is indeed a waste of time to visit if I have already visited FW. There seems to be no will to make it any better than it is, and with this will is lacking it will continue to wither. I was hoping to hear a few "yeah, your...
I've done all this... but not on AT. I've lived on the newsgroups and other forums for many years, helping people and being helped.
Perhaps I should restrict my criticism to the Hot Deals forum, in which case my opinions still stand.
I'm probably a bit behind, but up until quite recently the main site seemed stagnant. The "featured article" was invariably an old one from the archives and many of the other headline articles were simply links to other sites. It does look now that things are picking up, but I wonder how many...
AT has very little to offer now on that front too. New articles are nowhere near as prolific or interesting (to me anyway) as they used to be. It promotes articles several years old and they use links to articles on other sites much more.
So what you're saying is... it's best if the forums are sh*t because then they are cheaper and less hassle to run. Well, if that's the general attitude then I'm outta here for good. I'd be surprised if it was though.
AT has been on a slippy slope for a long time and it ain't getting any better AFAICS. I can't remember the last good deal that originated here... and a lot of the good deals don't make it this far. If the management here gives a hoot about these forums I reckon they need to take action asap...
I got the Antec SX1040BII Performance II Series SOHO File Server Case for about $75 using a $20/100 coupon and PMing to eBuyer.com here. This is a good case too.
Although +/- compatibility is nice, it isn't really useful. The media is priced about the same and once burned can be read by most DVD drives irrespective of the format. If I was looking for a drive now I'd want +R/RW and HD-Burn. If I got -R/RW too, then all the better. In this respect the...
I know an inventory dump when I see it. Faced with a plethora of multi-format drives rapidly approaching the $100 mark, the HP 300i was looking antiquated and sorely overpriced. HP are often first to the market but rarely hang in for long. Same thing happened with CDRW drives. HP were one of the...
Didn't Apex design a TV like this and then sell it on Amazon recently for $400? :D
The issue here is one of brightness. If you take the brightness of a 13" screen and spead it over an area 100 times that, then the brightness at any point will be 1/100th of a similar sized point on the TV...
Yup!
You can express the speed of a chip either in MHz or in ns, where ns = 1000/MHz. Thus, if the spec sheet says the chips are 200MHz (DDR400) then their rated speed in nano seconds is 5ns.
I hope that is clear.
I would not buy a large WD drive now. Too many bad experiences with junk drives and poor warranty service over the last couple of years. How the mighty have fallen. Maxtor drives seem to have the best value and reliability at the moment, and I can't think of another manufacturer who comes close...
Lots. Just think of all those seconds, minutes, and hours that have passed and are no longer needed - they have to go somewhere. This clock dissolves them into the water and converts them into electricity in order to generate new time. Simple!
I believe high-end video cards are a complete waste of money BUT if I wanted one here's what I would do...
I'd go to a BB store at a non-hectic time and chat with a sales person. I'd ask them to look up their inventory and tell me if any store in 50 miles had one in stock. I wouldn't talk price...
What is completely different about it? It's the same card and the BB deal is still ongoing. Are you saying that if he had searched and read the other thread he still would have posted this one? He said:
That's like me standing facing you with my eyes shut and saying "I can't see you anywhere"...
Um, it's the same card only cheaper, posted in this very forum only 2 days ago. Duh!
I bet you guys think your the first person to discover electricity every time you turn the light on.
The last time I was in London (UK) my friend and I had a charge of absinthe. He had paid 40 quid for the bottle but I failed to feel anything other than normal drunk. More BS than anything, I reckon.
The same guy is now making his own absinthe by steeping Wormwood leaves in alcohol. I expect...
Rumor has it that they will be selling stuff tomorrow too. YAY! Let's have more NewEgg posts. "NewEgg is selling stuff". And hey, did you know that the url is WWW.NEWEGG.COM ?? Crazy!
not
A few posting tips...
- This is flash memory and the thread title should say that.
- These are after rebate prices and the thread title should say that.
- You can edit your posts - you don't need to keep adding new ones.
Thank you.
Having read Tom's review of the Barton 3200+, I am very much less inclined to buy another AMD chip. They are grossly inflating their performance ratings relative to the Pentium, and that stinks of desparation.
"...we at THG call on AMD to correct the model numbering for the new Athlon XP...
