So pair with the car, start the car, turn off bluetooth. I'm sure they wouldn't engineer the car's engine to stop if it lost a bluetooth connection, that's much more dangerous than talking on the phone while driving.

FWIW lots of people rip off their legal defense fund and use it as income, but someone giving him money for legal defense is taxable if he decides to keep it. he can't write it off since it was never taxable income in the first place. it's just money that was gifted to his legal defense fund...

most any card with a magstripe will open the doors

Here's my U3011 Argyll calibrations with a Colormunki Spectrophotometer, which is meant for wide gamut displays. Built in Dell sRGB profile, no correction on, brightness 0 contrast 50: Uncalibrated response: Black level = 0.23 cd/m^2 White level = 148.43 cd/m^2 Aprox. gamma = 2.14 Contrast...

You're insane if you think dell should put electronics in the stand on a 30" monitor... That silly stuff is even stupid on a TV. It's much more important to use an aftermarket VESA arm with these monitors, building 2x2 panels with 4 30" monitors, having your monitor float over your desk from an...

Ah, finally I can dump my two 3007 WFP-HC monitors... So tired of the colors being wrong and oversaturated in everything except my calibrated apps (photoshop/lightroom etc) and having to mess with the colormunki calibrator all the time. This has a proper factory calibration, a LUT and a proper...

I'm a watch person just for simplicity and always having the time quickly available. I'm also a gadget nerd, and while things like this could be somewhat cool, the coolness is wasted by having to charge this thing (potentially every day/week) I already have to keep track of two laptops, two...

yeah, big pharma is strangling the healthcare system and this bill will end up giving them more money for more drugs for more people the insurance companies don't make too huge of a profit but that's not to say they don't overcompensate the executives and shareholders to bring the profits...

it's great that this still works, mainly to make it easy to clean install on a new hard drive on a system you had a previous OS with. just remember that technically it's not a legal copy of windows 7 unless you can also show the proof of purchase for the version that you upgraded from. If...

Yes, and it will have blu ray

I hope they are fined big time for not having a proper encryption solution applied on the thing.

you can do this already, just dial the mobile phone carrier's 800 voicemail number or local voicemail access number and send a message that way

No 9600GT either which IMO is the best value card...

Just an FYI, I had a hell of a time troubleshooting a problem with random bluescreens in vista on this mobo. Changed PSU, processor, used external video, changed mobo. Turned out the culprit was Crucial Ballistix Tracer DDR2 800 (2x2GB) kit memory which was passing memtestx86, vista memory...

Posting this here for reference and in case Dell nukes it from their own support forums for some reason. Ok Guys here it is... I have personally developed this package and tested it on 2 xps 630 systems. That said even reading this post is at your own risk. The file was...

Great review, I would have to say though that it's not worth it considering the price difference between DDR2 and DDR3 right now. So everyone else start buying these up with lots of DDR3 so I can get one cheaper in a month or two!

That's not true because most states not have a "use tax" clause at well that obligates the end user/consumer in their state to report and pay sales tax on any purchase that their state's sales tax was paid on. In CA they even go as far as to demand the difference of sales tax as well. If you...

yes, the card will be missing a cutout if the slot / card won't match in voltage. So basically yes you can plug it in. You can also go the reverse way with most PCI-X cards, put them into pci slots as long as the section that hangs over past the slot doesn't interfere with anything

exactly, because beancounters are douches

There's really nothing wrong with this review, or this card when it's considered as a refresh of the previous GTS. Obviously that is the way that nvidia thinks of it, as they did not give it a 8900 or even 8850 nomenclature. No real reason to upgrade from an old GTS to a new gts. So it's...

I own a PS3 but I will wait and see if MGS will come out on 360, because I'd rather have it on the 360.

I'm a huge AMD fan since the athlon-athlon64 and used their stuff before too when it made sense. However, I bought a C2D 2.2 laptop (M1210) 6 months ago or so because AMD had nothing even close in the laptop market. Now I'm about to snag a new high end gaming machine to replace the trusty...

AMD can microcode update as well however the problem must have been too serious to fix in a microcode update alone. Looks like phenom will be a value only if overclocking on a budget. I can't see why the OEMs should get excited unless AMD deals seriously under intel.

That's not a good attitude, IMO, but yeah things are getting much worse. I used to only buy PCPC psu's for years and years and my last system ended up with a tagan 900W high end unit which sh*t a brick after 8 months of use... The same system also had an ASUS board in it go really flaky, with...

i know it's a beta and all but it's an F'ing travesty of a beta

I don't know about you guys but I have a PS3 and a Xbox with HDDVD and netflix so I can watch all the HD movies without buying any of them. I still average one movie a month from XBL.. it's there, it's now, while my netflix is back in the mail and I need to see something new :) Quality...

ditto, and the key is that it's not something you would use as a computer but as a supplement. i'd love a simple device like this in my family room / kitchen area that could do photos, show my email, provide voip/phone services, yellow pages, recipies all kinds of neat things that even a...

I just got my HC in at the office, taking it home and leaving my non-HC at the office. I do most of my photo work at home. I did calibrate the HC at work to similar settings (read rather dim luminance to match print proofs) and both monitors are pretty damn close but there's less dE offset on...

I've been playing around with the flavors on MSDN and I have to say this is quite a major upgrade in the server arena. 2003 server was barely different from 2000 at it's core though there were many nice things about it. I'm also very interested in the next SBS 2008 based on server 2008...

Oh and even if it's the cat's meow at DX10 and the 8800 is an FX doing DX9 there will be a better AMD card AND a better nVidia card out by the time DX10 gaming performance is really an issue with buyers. Crysis may or may not be be the "halo" of DX10 gaming... If it's not we will really need...

I have owned 9700 and 9800's when the FX were out since they were not a good value for money nor were they desirable as a hardcore gamer. I've had 7800/7900's when they were better and 8800's after that. Always going after the best performance and just buying the best at the time. Like the...

Oh and comparing the architectures for DX10 gaming it looks like the best AMD could hope for is just under the 8800GTX. I would be VERY surprised if it were even slightly faster than the GTS/GTX overall in DX10. Drivers may help a bit but I would also be very surprised to see more than a 5%-10%...

Another great review... I have always bought what was best when I was buying, Intel, AMD, nVidia, ATI, etc... [H]'s conclusion appears to be quite accurate. I don't know why ANYONE would purchase one of these considering the price/performance, heat/noise, etc... The price just gets...

www.momsbasement.com ? Anyways it makes sense. Anyone in an IT job should run similar systems at home be it windows, linux, solaris, etc... even if it's not their main system.

As I work in the corporate IT world, most of it is likely software assurance upg/renewals for Windows / Office. There was no reason to go for the software assurance 2-3 years ago so we cancelled renewing it since we knew we would not see office 2007/vista during the time period (2 yrs) of the...

your review sucks, i'm a little disappointed at the OCP letting such an uneducated person perform the review, however i guess it coud be quite representative of a typical luser experience. time for the clue bat

I'd much rather have 10 great workers at $15 an hour than 18 mediocre workers at $8 an hour. that should have been the deal... we're canning all the new hire and cheaply paid people who don't have any incentive to care, but you higher paid people are going to have to pick up a bit of slack...

I also own said great denon upscaling DVD player... Yes it's great at what it does, turning 480i/p dvd's into something watchable on a 1080p panel. However it is NOWHERE close to HD-DVD or BluRay (I have both). The additonal detail in 1080p is just stunning. What you mean to say is that...

Another helpful hint for consumers who want to game... Pick up a 390 Precision loaded the way you want with the lowest end quadro card. Replace video card with 8800GTX/GTS, and enjoy a fast stable system with great support and a clean system image to boot. Of course the card itself won't...

What a douchey typical politician solution... All I need is to switch to say earthlink and find that say my first name is actually available, so I register it. What you don't know is some other guy with the same name got his earthlink cancelled for lack of payment due to being in...
