The criticisms in the article were all completely true, the movie was a carbon copy of Star Wars with some Empire Strikes Back thrown in. I still enjoyed watching it, but I would've preferred an actual original story. And yeah, Kylo Ren was a pathetic excuse for a bad guy, listening to him...

This is what I wrote on her second post about her ideal community: It vanished, deleted before clearing moderation. If that's her response to a person who points out problems with her idea without any kind of insults involved, it's abruptly clearer to me why she felt that a community of...

First off, yeah, that's a jail, not a penitentiary. Someone doing time in a jail is doing so for a short period of time for a relatively minor offense. The murderapists are going to a prison, not a jail. Second, 'grr arr let's put them in a cement box and make them eat sawdust' sounds...

So wait, I thought that half of the point of the K series processors was that they would automatically overclock themselves as long as their temperatures were low. I seem to recall that from Intel's literature back when they first came out. Is manually messing with timings even still necessary...

Kyle, can you find out how many speakers are actually in this thing? $150 for an actual surround headset with distinct front/rear/bass speakers in each ear is much more of interest to me than "surround" headsets that are just left/right stereo. And the fact that I can't find an explanation in...

Shenanigans! I call shenanigans. This review calls down ATI on the price points (You can get an 8800 GTS for less!), but the 8600 reviews that were so glowing were conspicuously silent on the fact that 7950s were both more powerful than the 8600s and cost less. If you're going to dock one...

I'd like to see these cards held up against the 7950/7900GT cards, which are currently occupying the same $200-ish space. These 8600s may be the bee's knees and all that compared to the 7600s, but when the 7900s are under such a heavy discount, there may be more mileage to the dollar from them.

I run Vista on my work computer. I don't run it on my home computer yet because I'm waiting for other poor saps to run into the incompatibility issues and work out the fixes before I have to deal with them. Vista, on its own, is a very good OS, definitely better than pre-SP1 XP was. The...

Okay, look, this really needs to be spread as far and as wide as possible: If the 'allow' popups annoy you, DO NOT TURN OFF THE SECURITY. USE A NON-ADMINISTRATIVE USER ACCOUNT. You get the 'popup every minute' syndrome if you're using an admin account because Vista is blocking any...

I'd as soon punch myself in the face as use my 'music' phone to listen to music. I consider music phones as relevant as music toasters, and am about as likely to try to plug headphones into one. They have mediocre sound, horrible interfaces, awkward (and/or expensive) methods to get the music...

Clearly this guy was another sterling alumnus of computertraining.com.

I say it because all of the reviews I've read are only showing the top-end processors of their respective lines, regardless of price. I'm not about to spend anything over $300ish for a processor, so seeing the $600 and $800 processors duking it out does me no good. Transistor count is all well...

I keep seeing reviews of the C2D 6700s ($400) versus the FX-62 ($800!) and wondering why anyone thinks its a good review. Sure, it's telling when Intel processors are beating AMD processors twice their price, but that's useless for purchasing decisions. I want an apples to apples review that's...

Well, if you have a normal TiVo, you lose all of its functionality if you cancel. But if you have a TiVo that came with 'free TiVo basic service', going from the pay service to the free service removes your ability to search the schedule by name, removes the TiVo's automatically recording...

Cancel your accounts. No, seriously. I called their customer line at 877-367-8486 and told the customer rep that I was cancelling, because my Toshiba player has a lifetime of the stripped-down TiVo service for free and I didn't consider the extra features worth the thirteen bucks a month...

Best Buy has refused my rebate on the grounds of it being expired. I'm going to raise a little hell and see if that doesn't knock my money out of the machine. Not expecting it to, but doesn't hurt to try.

When I bought one of these on Saturday, the rebate printed with the receipt, I didn't even need to use the scanned rebate. Seems like they're still being offered at the stores after all. [Edit: Oops, wait, the one that they printed out is the Tivo rebate, not Best Buy's. Almost got me...
