    Why is North America Lagging in Internet Speed?

    Here in Montreal, 24mbps ADSL2 has been available only in a very small area of the downtown core for the last three years. In all this time Bell Canada has made no attempt to widen the coverage area. The rest of the coverage area gets standard DSL with a maximum 7mbps download speed. Meanwhile...

    EVGA GeForce GTS 250 Superclocked

    As long as they don't reduce the number of shaders like they did with the 9600 GSO. They reduced the shaders from 96 to 48 and have the nerve to still call it by the same product name.

    Tribute to fallen sodas!

    The only brand of Ginger Beer that's available here now is Canada Dry Golden Cockerel Ginger Beer. It's not bad but nowhere near as tasty as that Old Jamaican brand.

    Tribute to fallen sodas!

    Here in Montreal we had KIK Cola when I was a kid. It was better than Coke and the bottle was 12oz compared to the wimpy 6oz Coke bottle. One soda I haven't had in a long time is Old Jamaican Ginger Beer. I haven't seen it in stores for years.There's nothing like an ice cold ginger beer on a...

    Corsair Cinema

    When my Ultra X-PRO 800w failed it just seemed to fade away. I had noticed the 12v rail dropping to the low 11v range for a few days and then one day the PC just refused to boot. None of my hardware was damaged at all. I rma'd it and they returned a new X3-800w modular unit. The rma process...

    Fedora, openSUSE, Ubuntu - Which is Right For You?

    Ubuntu x64 works well for my needs. It really ticks me off when some of the Linux community say Ubuntu is only for noobs and is not a real Linux distribution. They seem to think if its not hard to use then its not worth using. What's wrong with simple? KISS...keep it simple stupid :)
