    The Internet Has Made Libraries Obsolete

    My daughter and I still go to and check out books at the library every couple weeks. They stay current on most non-fiction releases I'm interested in but don't want to own, so still a very valuable, useful resource imo.

Looking back, I can't believe I used to spend so much on hardware. That entire rig cost me ~$4k. Rocked the Velociraptors in RAID 0, the works. When I was...

    Is Paying For Antivirus A Waste Of Money?

    Haven't paid for AV in over 10 years, used to run all the Norton products. After I realized that was essentially a waste of money and resources, switched between MSE, AVG and a few others until my ISP started offering KIS for free. Been using that for a couple years, no complaints.

    CPU choice

    If power consumption is is important to you, then I suppose the 4690s. Other than that they're virtually identical, aside from the obvious clock speed differences, which you may not notice much.
