    Microwave Blowing Stuff Up

    Moes is a bad chipotle knockoff. I went to one for the first time a couple weeks ago. The food tasted like it was microwaved and the seats in the place were all ripped up and grimey. I'll probably never eat there again.

    new radeon, black screen flash after booting

    I recently got a radeon hd 6770 and installed 11.8 drivers with catalyst control center. I had an nvidia card prior to this, so this is my first time dealing with amd's stuff. About 1 minute after the desktop loads from booting up, my display will go black for about 1 second. It may not seem...

    Anonymous Targeting Federal Reserve in Next Attack

    Oh no. Not the federal reserve website. I don't think anyone will notice. It would be better if they found a way to shut down the federal reserve itself.

    America's Most Stressful Jobs 2011

    CNBC wants us to take pity on them: Advertising Account Executive, Stockbroker, Newscaster, Senior Corporate Executive?!, Public Relations Executive. Boo hoo. What about migrant farm worker? What about almost every job starting at minimum wage? Cashiers, fast food workers, janitors, etc.

    Viewsonic

    Viewsonic, like so many other electronics companies these days, put bad capacitors in the vp2030b and vp2130b which causes the monitors to fail after a couple of years. My beloved vp2030b just broke so I opened it up and found 6 bulging caps. I tried to replace them but my soldering skills...

    Somewhat decent review here. You can see it ghosts badly. The monitor doesn't use any overdrive.

    not happy with lg 32ld450 as a monitor

    So I recently got the 32ld450 for monitor use and it has issues. The vertical viewing angles really suck. The blacks are washed out at any spot other than directly in front of my head, similar to what happens with the dell ultrasharp monitors, but without the purple/orange color. In addition to...

    Audiovox Set to Buy Klipsch

    I have no respect for klipsch after the promedia 5.1 amplifier fiasco in which they used substandard components resulting in their failure. After that I vowed to never buy another product from them again.

    Linux is for Communists

    The Soviet Union was never communist/socialist. No country has ever been communist. There are some smaller examples of working communism throughout history like the city of Barcelona in 1936 and the Isreali Kibbutzim. I would recommend reading George Orwell's book "Omage to Catalonia"...

    Replaced broken klipsch promedias with new stuff

    After a lot of fiddling, I got the bass to output at a decent level. However, I ran into a new problem. My onboard sound card doesn't have dolby digital live or dts connect and so games are all in stereo. I installed analog cables from the computer to the receiver, which solved the...

    Replaced broken klipsch promedias with new stuff

    It's placed against a wall on a hardwood floor. There isn't an available corner in the room, so it is mid-way across.

    Replaced broken klipsch promedias with new stuff

    I have the crossover set to 120hz. I took off the feet on the subwoofer and that made a huge difference in terms of getting the sound of the sub to coincide with the speakers. With the feet on, it was a total mess. I can now listen to music and whatnot. This subwoofer needs more of a "pow" to...

    Replaced broken klipsch promedias with new stuff

    So after unsucessfully attempting to repair my klipsch promedia ultra subwoofer/amp, I bought a yamaha rx-v365 receiver and a bic v1020 subwoofer, retaining the klipsch speakers. Either something I bought is defective, or my expectation for what the bass would be like was way too high. I have...

    getting rid of klipsch ultra 5.1's

    I'm about to do this to my set after the repair that I did a couple weeks back failed to fix the problems. I am going cheap with the receiver and getting a Pioneer VSX-519V-K and maybe a polk psw-10 subwoofer. I hope the subwoofer is comparable to the Ultra's sub, which was perfect aside from...

    e-SATA terribly slow with JMicron JMB363

    What was the name of the jmicron drivers you downloaded? For the JMB363, you should have used the JMB36X_WinDrv_R1.17.51_WHQL_eSATA.zip file, which can be obtained here: ftp://driver.jmicron.com.tw/jmb36x/XP_Vista_Win7/ Try downloading and running the hdtune benchmark to check if it is...

    Klipsch Promedia 5.1's - Amp repair

    Bear with my lack of electronics knowledge... The sub finally went out on my promedia ultra 5.1, so I took all the electronic stuff out of the sub enclosure and the only damage that I think I see is on a resistor on the circuit board with the 2 big 200V capacitors and the horizontal yellow...

    Klipsch Promedia 5.1's - Amp repair

    How do you open the control pod on the 5.1 ultra? I took the two screws off of it on the bottom of the pod and tried prying at what looks like the only seam on the pod, but the plastic keeps getting mangled and I am afraid I'm opening it wrong.

    Klipsch Promedia 5.1's - Amp repair

    Ugh. The amp or subwoofer on my promedia ultras is starting to break. This is the 2nd year I have had the system in use. Considering the massive number of these things that have failed, I am wondering why there hasn't been a class action lawsuit against klipsch. Elliot: If you don't mind me...

    DIY 6 channel headphones

    I'd love to, but I don't own a camera. Not even a cell phone camera. I'm a bit of a luddite in that regard. There is some, but the cheap circumaurals I bought don't have much either, so it kinda works out :). I wasn't expecting to achieve the absolute pinnacle of sound reproduction with...

    DIY 6 channel headphones

    I just got back from bestbuy with a new set of inexpensive circumaural headphones and put my existing earbuds in just like in the video. It works alright. I can clearly differentiate the direction of the sounds. There is a very slight difference in sound quality between the earbuds and the...

    Western Digital Raptor 74GB = Buy a pair for $160

    These are LOUD when doing heavy seeking and writing. If you have vista, I would not recommend this older generation of raptors because indexing and superfetch are almost always running and thus making noise. I have 2 in raid, and whenever I create a restore point, install windows updates, or...

    RIAA to Stop Piracy Mass Lawsuits

    Which cheap 4gb 2x2 ram should I buy?

I'm not so sure going for the ones that have rebates is such a good idea because of the volatility of the DRAM makers right now. I also don't like them to...
