    Toyota Developing External Airbags for Pedestrian Safety

    Yep. Exactly. When it comes to defending your home and guns, all bets are off. Make sure you kill them, make sure they are inside your house and even then you are still open to suits from family members of the criminals. It's a mess. And of course gun manufacturers are still dealing with law...

    Rockin' The Coked-Out Orgy Cave

    Consider this quote from the article: The reasons were personal. Nicholas' younger sister, Marsalee, was killed by a drug-dealing ex-boyfriend when she was 22. "I'd say I have a moral vendetta against drug dealers because one killed my sister," Nicholas told The Register. I'm sure most...

    Blu-ray Drive Prices May Not Fall As Quickly as Expected

    Well I for one can see the difference in 1080p over 720p and both over DVD. Give me either HD format over DVD anyday. 1080 just pops more over 720 and DVD is ok but in comparison really quite bad. I can tell the difference on sets starting at around 42" But I will admit I'm the odd one, not...

    U.S. Ranked No. 4 For Networked Readiness

    People keep going on about how BIG the we (the USA) is as a country and how hard that makes it to run broadband to rual areas. Really? These areas have electricity. They have phone. That means the infrastructure is there already. It's not hard. It's expensive. Big difference. There are...

    Blu-ray Drive Prices May Not Fall As Quickly as Expected

    Yes, there are some cheap BluRay drives for the PC now, but read about them. All but the Sony drive have issues playing certain movies. I've seen people waiting on LiteOn to release updated roms for thier drives, but Sony seems pretty quick about it. The Sony drive is only $199 and that's what...

    3 monitors, 2 video cards, 1 9800GX2

    But the 8800GTX isn't an SLI card...the 9800GX2 would be in SLI mode since it's two GPU's on one card, which presents the problem different from using an 8800GTX and another card. If it didn't cost so much I wouldn't mind buying it and trying, but as it is, I'd really love to find someone who...

    3 monitors, 2 video cards, 1 9800GX2

    Interesting... I wondered just how unified the drive tech was, if the 7 series stuff was in the 9series stuff or if the drivers are only unified by series. Ideally I'd like a 9800GTX but can't seem to find realistic release dates...

    3 monitors, 2 video cards, 1 9800GX2

    Apologies if this has been answered elsewhere, I searched but didn't find. I work at home and it's time to upgrade. I want to build a PC for both work and games. I will have 1 24" monitor at 1920x1200 and 1 21" monitor on either side of it at 1600x1200. I want to game only on the 24"...

    Crappy Parents, Listen Up!

    Agreed. But I have noticed that we live in a society that absolutely abhores personal responsiblity. From our almost collective belief in the invisible man in the sky ready to punish us, to treating law suits as lotteries and sueing people for LETTING us hurt ourselves. Add to this an equally...

    Crappy Parents, Listen Up!

    Really? I'd rather my children discover thier own values. Be great if they share some of mine but I'd rather they be thier own people than little clones of me. And you think beating (old-fashined ass whipping) really does good? I suppose it all depends on the child. I can tell you this, I'm...

    Paramount To Dump HD DVD Too?

    I have tons of things from other regions. The UK gets alot of things before we do, and often they are better versions. And TV series from the UK have far superior packaging which takes up much less space than the US versions when they are finally available. I bought a Momitsu region free...

    Paramount To Dump HD DVD Too?

    whoohooo! A region locked, DRM'd to the gills format with less features and a poor user experince compared to HD DVD! And higher priced players to boot!!! Truely a banner victory for the consumer all around!
