    New Build: Help Me with a Name!

    I still kinda like FoldStar... just slap a Ford or OnStar logo on the case. :D

    I tripped over some money!

    Actually, the IOPS on both the Callisto and Agility 2 are rated at 10,000 sustained... don't let the burst speeds throw ya. ;) Except for the Vertex 2 which got a special agreement with Sandforce, everyone's using the same firmware supplied from Sandforce. The Vertex 2 also uses a firmware...

    Should Netflix Get Rid of its DVD Rental Service?

    Exactly!! I don't see how they can possibly do away with their DVD business because most of their DVD (and especially Blu-ray) catalogs are NOT available for streaming. It doesn't seem to be a matter of them not getting around to making digital copies, as much as licensing agreements...

    Broken Monitor? Cook it in an Oven!

    Well, my first thought was to chuck it in the dishwasher actually. That worked amazingly well too, had a factory clean, like-new condition keyboard after I finished putting the electronics back into it... I did put my laptop keyboard into the oven though... I confess I had ONE can of diet...

    Dealing With A Hacker...Bad Company 2 Style

    Poetic justice in action. :D I'm amused the hacker didn't just quit and find another server, most just go find easier targets on another server when things don't go their way.

    I tripped over some money!

    Well, both drives use the same Sandforce controller so as long as you use the latest firmware you won't see any differences between those drives! Just make sure to flash the latest firmware before you do anything else to the drive http://www.mushkin.com/Digital-Storage/SSDs/MKNSSDCL60GB.aspx...

    Linksys E3000

    I'm not familiar with the newer routers they've come out with. I know the original v1 and v2 WRT54G / GS routers had much more flash memory but those are getting pretty old and hard to find these days, so probably not worth looking into. DD-WRT has a pretty good guide on their site that...

    iDOS Emulator Returns to App Store; Simple Hack Allows Game Loading

    I can't check, don't have an iPhone. Sorry!

    GameStop Considering Selling Digital Copies of Games In-store

    Definitely the latter. My "in-store experience" with such game stores has never been that positive, and trying to chat with the guy manning the register about his thoughts on a particular title will just tick off the 4 people that've been waiting in line to buy something. ;) Also, it makes...

    Broken Monitor? Cook it in an Oven!

    I wonder how many tech enthusiasts haven't already tried cooking devices yet... :D

    Quite the computer setup...

    Optix, if we hear on the news that someone did a drive-by shooting with an anti-aircraft gun I guess we will know whose place it was that was targeted. :D I have the odd feeling those are real guns... the guy has the money to buy four sets of high-end heaphones,, iPhone, iPod, a seemingly 19"...

    How Does Whiskey Fare After 100 Years of Antarctic Conditions?

    Heh, they only dug the stuff back up last year, they are sure taking their time. Should be interesting to hear either way when they do give it a sip... :)

    EteRNA - RNA Folding Game Used for Research

    Good luck... it gets absurdly complicated quickly after the initial introduction tests, I got stumped halfway through the practice challenges. :D

    Sandy Bridge Based Tablet Due by Mid-Year

    That photo makes it look like a digital picture frame... Using all four cores is one thing, but using them effectively? Can Android even make use of high-end processing cores, or does it treat them like basic processing units? Because I can't see a need for that sort of processing muscle...

    Intels LGA 2011 Socket & Chipset Pictures Leaked

    That's a great point about what I was going to say... That's also a pretty decent overclock there, I wouldn't have expected a low voltage kit to handle high frequencies like that! What I wanted to add is that DDR3 1.65v was considered "stock" for voltages, although plenty of Lynnfield kits...

    Galaxy Offers Wireless GeForce GTX 460 Graphics Card

    That's freaking crazy! I'm starting to like the idea already though... hopefully they aren't exaggerating with those range numbers, but I'd take them with a grain of salt at first. I'd also worry about interference... that is a literal ton of data to be pumping out wirelessly! Just...

    Phone network update?

    That's a bizarre issue... My first guess is a protocol or software issue at the phone level though, especially if it only affected specific phones. Since you mentioned flashing the phone, were there any new updates you could flash to it and see if that resolved the problem? That was one...

    Extreme Cooling?

    A fan controller wouldn't work for this, at least not any that I am aware of. I'm pretty sure it would blow the controller from the current draw. Most beefier TEC plates require their own dedicated power supply for use just because of the power they draw to operate, but some of these can adjust...

    Why Does Netflix Succeed While Google TV Struggles?

    I'm not sure... waiting for the film to reach DVD release, then waiting another month can be irritating if it's a good movie. But speaking form a purely business standpoint, such a delay will cost them some customers that want new releases... Blockbuster has been running a huge media campaign...

    Why Does Netflix Succeed While Google TV Struggles?

    The only reason the content industry likes Netflix is because they still can ultimately call the shots. There is a reason Netflix agreed in 2010 to an imposed delay of 28 days before renting or streaming new releases from several different studios, most notably Warner Brothers. In return Netflix...
