    Most comfortable mouse you ever had?

    The Logitech Mouseman Dual Optical? I am still using one. Great mouse. Mine has seen better days though. Should last me at least another year though. :)

    Looking for portable device to study

    They are smaller and cheaper. Buy one with Linux on it, install nothing but the software you need and turn the wireless off so that you do not have the internet as a distraction. Use the netbook only for work/reading or whatever. It will help you focus if it is just used for a single task...

    Buying a laptop - need advice

    You will be very hard pressed to find any bank that will give you a personal loan for $2900 if you have no credit history. Personal loans are much more difficult to get than say a small car loan. If you stop paying on a car loan, they can track down and repossess the car. The car acts as...

    Young music fans deaf to iPod’s limitations

    The author of that article seems to be confusing two different kinds of compression. Digital compression can sound just fine when done properly. The other compression, the one that studios/producers/mixing engineers/whoever use to make music "louder" at the expense of dynamic range, sucks...

    Most comfortable mouse you ever had?

    Logitech Mouseman Dual Optical I bought it sometime in 2001 or 2002 I think. Still using it to this day. The mouse feet wore off, but a little teflon tape fixed that. Besides that the mouse looks pretty good for being about 7 years old, and functions perfectly. :cool:

    Prebuilt computer recommendations

    I actually did think about future proofing but as Kelv said, there is no reason to go with something high end. A Core 2 Duo will be plenty for the future imo. I think I have narrowed it down to either a nice low-mid range Vostro or Optiplex.

    Prebuilt computer recommendations

    Those look like great computers and the components and warranties look top notch, but they are probably overkill for the basic tasks. I have looked a couple of Dell computers. Their small business line looks like it is pretty high quality, and is reasonably priced. I spec'ed out a nice...

    Prebuilt computer recommendations

    A friend asked me for a recommendation on what sort of computer to buy to replace an old Windows 98 box (:p). They are not looking for anything fancy. The computer will just be used for the internet, email, documents, and other basic tasks. Spec wise, I know what I am going to recommend. My...

    Quick Vista question

    64 bit it is then. I do not anticipate any application incompatibilities, I play some games and use some other common software. I might just go ahead and upgrade my memory as well. :cool: Thanks for the advice.

    Quick Vista question

    I plan on installing Windows Vista today on my desktop. I have access to both Vista Business 32 bit and Vista Business 64 bit thanks to MSDN. My desktop is running a Core 2 Duo e6400 on a Gigabyte 965P-DS3 with 2gb of memory. My question is: Is there any reason to go with Vista 32 instead of...

    MGS4 Thread *including spoilers*

    Just beat the game about ten minutes ago myself. I have some (slight, forgivable) disappointments but overall the game was bas ass, and well worth the price of admission (had to buy a PS3). It is bittersweet. I played MGS 1 on the PS1 and got hooked. I remember waiting for MGS 2, watching all...

    7900gs -> 8800GT

    I did the same upgrade a couple of weeks ago, almost the same rig as you, but I have a slower Core Duo and an older motherboard with an Intel chipset. I had a 7900gs and went to an 8800gt. The difference is amazing. I can actually play Crysis now, and Bioshock looks better than ever. Well worth...

    Thanks Bigk, just got back from Microcenter with my 8800 GT Superclock for $229.99! (Plus tax, duh) :cool: Just a heads up, the boxes look almost identical, so check to make sure they hand you the superclock edition. The guy at Microcenter handed me the wrong one, but I caught it.

    8GB USB Drive $29.99 - No MIR

    Bought one of the 8gb drives the other day. The write speed is not as fast as my 2gb Sandisk, but for $30 I do not really care. I am using it for backup anyways.

    135$ Zune on Woot

    Honestly I like the Zune. It is a little too big to be really portable, but hey, for $129.99, I could live with it. I really want to bite, but can't justify spending the money right now. :( That said though, the description is comic gold. :D

    360 directly to pc?

    I can confirm that this does work, it is how I have my 360 connected to the internet/live. I also have a WRT54G router. I did not have to change anything other than setting up ICS for my wireless and just plugged in a crossover cable from my computer to the 360. If you have not already, I would...
