Poll: Do you as a driver wear a seatbelt?

I always do, and make everyone in _my_ car do so before it moves. That said, I think it's your decision in your own car. I'm not a fan of making them manditory.

Best Buy Gamers Card?

My local BB has tons of them. They never ring up right for computer games, so the CSR has to hand write an invoice. It's annoying, but it's worth the $5.00. I generally put $5 on the gift card.

Remember the picture with the pregnant woman smoking a cigarette and complaining about the construction noise?

Speaking as someone with birth defects caused by my mother smoking while pregnant (almost 30 years ago), I hate to see someone in this day and age that insists on doing the same. I don't know that the baby will hoave any problems, but it's sad to see someone so casual about the life of their...

Purdue vs Wisconsin 10/16

GO BOILERS! Homecoming is now generally the only game I go to, and today's the day! Does it get any better than spending a nice fall day tailgating with 60,000 of your closest friends? I think not. GO BOILERS!

Based upon advice from this and the CPU forum, I bought a new Mobo/CPU/RAM last week. I bought and installed an A64 2800+, MSI K8N Neo Platinum, and 1.5GB PC3200 RAM. Couldn't be happier with the system. With my 6800oc vid card, this sytem simply smokes my old AthlonXP 1700+ / ATI...

Thinking of buying a home instead of renting, quick question about mortgage quotes

your best bet is to go to YOUR bank or credit union, and get an appointment with a mortgage load officer. They can walk you through the process of determining how much you can afford, and get you pre-approved.

Power supply is not enough?

I have an Athlon 64 2800+ running at 1.9GHz (100MHz overclock), running on the same mobo with 1.5 GB DDR. I also have a Geforce 6800oc, which requires a lot of power. I'm rock solid with a 350W Antec PSU. I'd have to agree, that you should consider a name brand PSU, assuming your mem checks...

Epson R300 CD/DVD Printer for $119.99 after rebates

I bought an r200 a couple months back. Note that the r200 comes without a USB cord, and the r300 has one, but it is permanantly attatched. I personaly don't like permanant cables, and don't need to print directly from the card out of my camera, so I went with the r200. Couldn't be happier...
