    Hummer beats a Prius in environmentally friendly tests

    If I wasn't worried about money, I wouldn't think twice about getting the Hummer. Until alternative vehicles can become bigger, badder, and less expensive... people won't switch.

    Hummer beats a Prius in environmentally friendly tests

    The biggest problem with the environment is priorities. A trucking company use to put the used oil in the driveway to control dust. Someone buys the lot had to dig it all up to make it into... a giant parking lot. Now I'm not saying this isn't a good thing. But I bet the environment would of...

    Hummer beats a Prius in environmentally friendly tests

    There's allot we can do with garbage. But it's not a big of enough concern. People will talk about wanting to do something, but how many actually go out and buy a Prius ? :) The fact is, money is more important then the environment. Copper is being recycled because it's worth allot. Drunks...

    Promotional Material

    Lately I've been noticing how rather dull my computer room is. In my younger days, I could get tons of beer posters and banners. But I've kind of outgrown that. Does anyone know where one might be able to get good computer company promotional material? Posters, banners, artwork, caps, pens...

    Hummer beats a Prius in environmentally friendly tests

    I don't care who's right or wrong, if anything, hopefully the article makes people think. There's allot of factors people don't consider regarding the environment. The environmental cost of manufacturing. The amount of materials in a vehicle that can be recycled. Materials that can't be...

    Anyone using Opera?

    One thing I wasn't fond of, is having no way through the software's options to disable the built in torrent client. How can I disable the BitTorrent client in Opera? Go see: http://www.opera.com/support/search/view/840/?keyword=disable&platformID=12

    Logisys PC Extension Station

    I really like the looks of that unit. Having a two-year old son, a switch that would turn off my computer would be used inappropriately repeatively. But I have my Laser printer, color printer, Buttkicker Gamer, Speakers, DSL modem, monitor, etc. The Buttkicker in particular has the on/off...

    Antec Nine Hundred

    I'm not sure about the price. Even with all the fans. It's a nice looking unit on the outside. I hate boring grey insides... would have to paint it. If it were cheaper, I'd consider it.

    Publicons!

    The U.S. is almost crippled fighting Iraq. I wonder how many Multi-Mission Effects Vehicles with a 85% engagement success rate the Iraqis had? I doubt the U.S. would be as successful as the Russians were against Finland. ( Check out Simo Häyhä or the Winter War ) If one Finn back then could...

    Is the only reason you mod to show off?

    Modding is what defines me as a computer enthusiast. I can't afford the latest or greatest hardware, so modding is one way to express that I'm giving it an 'all-out' effort. I've made my own glass window, case-light, bezel, drive-cages, and custom paint. (I'm in the process of cutting up an...

    Anyone using Firefox 3 ???

    Huge 2x120mm Air Cooler!

    I can almost picture a hole in my motherboard when this thing snaps off due to excess weight! LOL

    Computer scares?

    Before I even go into a system, I unplug the power and then hold in the power button in for 20-30 seconds. Unplugged, the fans will sometimes start spinning. I'm not an electronic expert, but there's capacitors? that hold a charge. I have one unit from Evercool that keeps my fans spinning for...

    Windows Vista Version Comparison

    Off topic, but at one time Palm 5's were frying Dell and other makers motherboards. If you touched the hooked up Palm with static, it would fry the MB. I believe Palm blamed Dell and company, they blamed Palm. Can't remember where all the lawsuits landed. Anyways, I wouldn't touch an...

    Bar-code printer

    I've got absolutely no idea who'd want this. But I have a bar-code printer. I've hooked it up before and got it to print a barcode on included self-adhesive stickers. I guess it's for a warehouse? Anyways if anyone's interested let me know. Thanks.

    Windows Vista System Performance Reports

    My question is, if Vista @ 40 services running compares to XP @ 25 services running, how fast is Vista if it weren't bloated. How would it perform after disabling some services? For most part, I'd be happy with an old DOS interface if you could strip it down that far. I want my resources...

    Windows Vista System Performance Reports

    Hopefully this isn't a dumb question, but I've only seen the Vista interface briefly...which looked great, especially on a 24" LCD (Grrr... don't you hate friends with money.) Anyways, are the guts of the OS the same? One of the first things I do with XP is get rid of unneccessary services...

    Top 8 Vista Annoyances

    I have a device from Indus Technologies ,a Canadian company no less :) which is a harddrive switch. You can switch between 4 different drives and keep them completely seperate. I think this is a better solution then any boot menu. I found having a seperate drive for myself/wife/kids a real...

    Should you buy Vista Ultimate? ...and TPM

    I'm just curious as to who's going to be paying these prices. I've asked basicly everyone I knew about ANY version of Vista. I'd say 50% of the general people I asked didn't know what it was. A few asked if it had been 'cracked' yet so they could pirate it. But except for one person, nobody...

    Computer scares?

    After allot of saving, I had just bought a new SLI Asus P5ND2 motherboard, P4, new memory, etc. I was writing reviews at the time and recieved a really nice looking PSU. Black chrome finish, modular cables, etc. The first worry was when taking it out of the box, a screw fell out. I checked...
