I'd like to give the music that "made him who he was" a listen, especially the stuff that shaped the parts that aren't all sunshine, fairy dust and unicorns.

Can't wait till they do this to Telus here in Canada and their annoying "Optik" "fiber optic" internet/iptv offerings

I can has 3870 X2?

The key word there is could. This version of the levy is assuming that every single digital storage device is being used as a storage medium for copyright material. It was ridiculous when they did it for optical media and it is ridiculous now. What they are asking for is basically a private tax...

I have both Telus and Shaw internet. Neither have ever been on contract, nor would I consider signing a contract. Shaw has absolutely horrible service in my area, by that I mean ping times, download/upload speeds, they've gotten better but there is no way I would consider using them for my...

This is a work/render station card, see the handle on the end of the cooler? It's for quick removal. You will never see a card that looks like this in the retail channel.

If you close all unneeded ports and turn off unneeded services and applications you are much less likely to be hit by anything. I haven't run a virus scanner or firewall, nor sat behind a router, for at least 90% of my XP usage. If you are careful about which applications you use and mindful of...

I have personally seen Symantec HOSE windows without any help from virii or any other form of malware application, on more than one occasion. Needless to say, Symantec AV suites are at the very bottom of my list of security applications, right down there with Mcafee, which I have seen the same...

No, I would take a VX2025WM any day of the week over a problematic Dell LCD. Also their sale today has this: http://accessories.dell.com/sna/PopupProductDetail.aspx?cs=cadhs1&l=en&c=ca&sku=A0655269 Where's a dying of laughter smiley when you need one.

The two review systems can live side by side, they both have their upsides, personally, I really dislike the realworld testing suites. I prefer to look at the raw numbers and draw my own conclusions. That isn't to say that realworld testing isn't useful. Just that I feel that I get much more out...

It would appear as if certain people are lacking in reading comprehension... Everyone has misinterpreted ATi's statement, it is saying that ATi does not believe it is likely they will see a large number of sales of their pre-existing graphics cards due to to physics processing. This does not...

I posed to them the question of OEM loadout vs completely clean install on the Intel mac's. Apparently they just took the benches from PCWorld so my guess, given that PCWorld seems to do system evalution style reviews, is that all 3 of the PC's without the performance boosting apple were indeed...

Chris made a comment at the end of the article about laptop display driver support, I would like to point out that ATi offer a few options in that area. They have mobility drivers available that support the 9600 up to their X800 series for laptops, but only certain ODM's are in the program. You...
