    Cox Quietly Reduces Data Cap From 2TB Down To 1TB

    Advertising a cap doesn't really mean anything when it's not enforced. Maybe they just keep it in their back pocket for an excuse to disconnect a heavy user in a congested network segment but according to their data usage tool I have a 'cap' of 700GB but regularly use about 3TB / month and they...

    IRS: Bitcoin Is Property Not Currency in Tax System

    I used to mine back when it was realistic with GPUs, are they expecting me to go back and declare my past mining activity according to these rules which were just released? How the hell am I supposed to figure that out? Somebody could make a website where you put in a wallet address and it...

    What RAID card would you use for these? I'm thinking about an Areca 1280-ML with 2Gigs of Cache but I don't know if it's compatible with the WD20EADS hard drives.

    Wiretap's Home Theater

    Stupid question, but I notice on the B&H website that it says the native resolution is 1080p but it does not list 1080p in the HDTV Compatibilty section. Does this projector accept 1080p over it's HDMI port? (from a PS3 for example) Or will it only accept up to 1080i and then deinterlace it...

    Comcast HDTV on Vista

    The FusionHDTV5 card is great for OTA HD, and can receive the unencrypted QAM (I have Cox and this feature is pretty much useless if you can get good OTA signals). As far and getting the encrypted QAM channels, you might want to hold out on that for a while http://www.maximumpc.com/article/ocur

    Turns out they didn't really have one at the Camelback, AZ store. But I was able to get the CompUSA at 90th and Shea to price match them (because Tucson did have some it stock). Luckily they didn't ask if it was on clearance. :D
