Name the most life threatening or scary experience you've ever had.

Coupla' things. 8 or 9 years old, I fell into a ditch drain & almost drown. One of my friends pulled me out. His name was Mike Stegaman (sp?). 13 or so years old, hunting & I handed my friend the rifle & he grabbed the trigger & missed my leg by about 2 inches. 24 years old...

is the windows firewall any good?

Slashdot has a link to a review of the SP2 firewall. The review says it is pretty slack in its protection. Go for Sygate PF if you want a free firewall.

lets talk about experiences you have had with supernatural

When I was 13 years old my mother bought herself a second "shelter home". She is in the business of taking care of people who can't care for themselves (i.e. mentally retarded, mentally ill, etc.). Well, this business is on a 50 acre ranch in Idaho. It had an old broken down stable that hadn't...

LAST DAY TODAY!! NOKIA 3650 PHONE FOR -50.01 ON AMAZON!

I've had mine for almost a year. I love this phone. It takes a bit to get used to the keypad but it is actually more convenient than my Samsung S105. The bluetooth isn't useful for me but, believe it or not, the camera is great! You don't realize how much you can use it until you have it & make...

FOr the video card, Newegg has them for cheaper & no rebate hassles. I trust Newegg more but maybe people can't wait 3 days to get a new card.

I built a computer for one of my friends using that motherboard & an Atlon 2000+. Rock solid at the normal settings & held a bit of an overclock pretty well. I don't recall the exact overclock we achieved, however. Not having a chipset fan made it nice & quiet & the blue color went very well...

I've had pretty good experiences with these mobos....both Pro & non-Pro. They typically run very well (don't even think about overclocking). This is assuming you don't get a DOA product. I don't think it's ECS' fault for the large quantities of DOA's, more like shipping damage IMO. If you're...

Wal-Mart has Lexar 128MB SD cards for $23 and no messy rebate hassle. Add whatever tax your state requires & you have your OTD price. Seemed pretty decent to me since I get the card immediately & no rebate hassles to deal with. Just my opinion.

Panasonic LF D521 DVD Burner (DVD-R/-RW/-RAM)-$100 AR

At Buy.com's 24 Hour Sale. Seems like a good deal to me, especially considering the DVD-RAM format that can be used like a Tivo, minus the nice menus & stuff that Tivo gives you. EDITED: To show that it does -R/-RW/-RAM vice all formats. Sorry for the mistake. Still a good deal, IMO.
