FREE "Just Say No to Taxes" bumper sticker!!

Propaganda is often disseminated for free. You can find all sorts of free leaflets, brochures etc. from various political organizations. It's analogous to advertising--the real coup is when they actually get people to buy the stuff (say, a "Just Do It" bumper sticker). So, since the deal is...

Free Stand for Israel Lapel Pin!

So, how hot is this deal? What would such a pin usually go for? $1.50? $2.00? If I see a hard drive that is usually $100 listed for $98, should I post it? Where's the tech angle in this deal? If you think the "heat" of this deal is not purely political, you're kidding yourself.

Need some help with Russian... or any language

This is a function not of Office but of the OS. In Win98, you go to Add/Remove Programs, Windows Setup tab, and install "Multi-language support". Don't know how it works in XP, but presumably if Win98 shipped w/this then XP does as well.

50% off The New York Times subscription

This is the standard deal for new subscribers--only rarely not offered. The real trick is to keep it going beyond the initial period--sometimes by calling up to cancel, but more reliably (I won't say how many years) to cancel and have your spouse/roomate sign on. 90 days later you are free to...

Hot! Intel Movie Creator 29.95 List99

<< how good is this thing? im thinking about it D >> Depends what you're looking for. It is web cam quality--in fact, I'm guessing that it's basically a web cam in a different case. Only shoots at 15 frames per second, and at the higher res. setting--320x240? only captures 1 minute at a...

Get $50 rebate from MSN for switching dial-up or broadband ISP service for 3 months

Broadband deal has some catches--you need to make a one-year commitment to avoid activation fee. You can get the $50 rebate w/out the one year commitment, but then you need to pay $99 for activation! As for dial-up--before going to attbi I went through a lot of dial-up ISP's, including many...

high cpu activity from Anandtech forums?

Actually I did some Google research and found that the Windows System Monitor is notoriously unreliable for registering CPU usage. Downloaded Microsoft "Wintop" and found that everything was ok. Sorry for the unnecessary post!

high cpu activity from Anandtech forums?

Is it just me, or does anyone else see their cpu activity rise to about 75-80% upon visiting the Anandtech Hot Deals forum? I know that sounds crazy... I'm using IE 5.01 sp2, Win98 SE, 550 mhz P3. IE security is Medium--I'm guessing this is some kind of scripting issue? It continues even...

sandisk 128mb compactflash/smartmedia at Best Buy--$29/28 after MIR and Amex

This is basically from the newspaper insert, but struck me as pretty good. Best Buy has a $20 mail-in rebate (apparently B&M only?) for these flash cards in addition to $20 "instant rebate." Price on receipt will be 69.99. PM w/AMEX BVG at http://www.moreaudiovideo.com/ or...

Intel® Play? Digital Movie Creator US$29.99 - Free shipping + tax

Does anyone know if you have to use the included software, or can you use other multimedia apps? (I'm not talking about drivers, obviously.) Just ordered one, would like to avoid installing new software if possible.

My friend got in a wreck today, who was at fault?

The turn your friend was making sounds a little strange, probably illegal. I'm guessing this was a residential street? I'm not sure u-turns are ever actually ok, technically, on residential streets (3-pt. turns, which no one makes, are), but even if they are the manner in which he made it made...

Seagate Barracuda IV 80GB $129 after rebate [DEAD]

Got my rebate yesterday--$20 instead of $50! Called Special Marketing Services, who is doing the rebate, 800-998-8600 x257, they said the $50 ended on the 12/14, and I bought on 12/16. The rebate form clearly said 12/18. Yesterday they said they'd call me back. I called again this morning...
