For earbuds, I'm kind of the same. $100 would be the max. Two years ago, I went to a trade show and Shure was showing off new earbuds that cost just that... $100. Granted, I was in a busy room, but what I did hear just wasn't impressive. At all. I'm a stickler for quality, though. Sadly, I even...

The same can be said about Lamborghini's and Ferrari's. Not that I'd know :(

It speakers work in a regular PC using the green audio cable, then they'll work in the laptop. While the laptop shows a headphones icon for the audio, regular speakers will work there fine also.

Hah, it's impressive that so many people you know use Linux. That's awesome :D I am really not sure what you mean by this. It takes me five clicks of the mouse to copy / paste anything in Linux. One to highlight the text, another to right-click, another to hit "Copy", another to right-click...

From our front-page news: Getting humans to Mars is something that's on a lot of minds, especially astronauts and space scientists, but understandably, the number of hurdles in our way is seemingly innumerable. The biggest issue is space radiation, which is caused by all of the cosmic rays shot...

From our front-page news: One of the coolest things to do on a PC is photo editing. You can pretty much do anything with a photo today, from putting yourself in space, decreasing the size of your love handles, or simply altering the color to make a photo look better. But, if you happen to lack...

NVIDIA's GeForce GTX 260 is not a new card. In fact, it's been available for over a year in its 216 Core form. So is it even worth a look at today? Where Gigabyte's "Super Overclock" version is concerned, yes. Although it costs less than a stock GTX 275, this new card beat it out in almost every...

From our front-page news: You know what really grinds my gears? When someone claims that music is their life, but refuse to purchase a good pair of earbuds or headphones, and instead stick to the free pair that came with their MP3 player. If you are truly passionate about music, and listen to it...

From our front-page news: When Palm released their Pre smartphone, it brought forth many notable features. These included combined messaging, layered calendars, activity cards, a clean interface and more. One feature kind of stood out from the rest, though, and that was iTunes syncing...

I agree on both accounts. I was starting to get a little worried about NVIDIA. It seems like lately, they're falling behind in every market they're involved in (I'm not sure about the workstation market, however), so it's good to see such bold claims about the G300. As for the mock-up, if the...

I agree with 2Tired... definitely replace the cable and see what happens. IDE cables are horrible for becoming useless very quickly. I've even had times when a brand-new cable wouldn't work. To be honest, the reason I thought of the cable was for the reasons above. When IDE HDDs were...

That's my thinking on things as well. The vast majority of people who build their own PCs don't even have a clue about what makes most of the components special. I've known many people over the years who built their own system's to ask for help from friends on what parts to buy, and in some...

Haha... what a coincidence. Just yesterday I was talking to my aunt who works for a computer shop. She asked me who made good notebooks, and I said, "Pretty much everyone, except Acer". ;) A few years ago, one of my friend's girlfriend bought an Acer notebook, and literally had to bring it back...

That's good to hear, because I've been wondering about that. Lian Li's name used to be plastered all over wherever quality chassis' were concerned, but I've been hearing about them a lot lesss in recent years. We really should get one of their chassis' in sooner than later to take a look at...

What a waste of time! You should have sent them my digits instead. :p

Geez, where were you the other day when I needed you?! In all seriousness, that's cool to hear. I have to say, I'm surprised by the result of your test at your local LUG. Most people I talk to in Linux circles tend to prefer GNOME, and I think part of it is because they first downloaded Ubuntu...

"The G51Vx might be what some would consider to be a "value" gamer's notebook, but ASUS spared nothing with the build quality. As a whole, I found the notebook to be very well-built, and not at all flimsy or cheap." :)

To purchase a quality gaming notebook just a few years ago would have set you back at least $2,000. But the situation is far better today, and it's proven with the help of ASUS' G51Vx, coming in at $999. It comes complete with NVIDIA's GeForce GTX 260M graphics card, a great feature-set and...

Oh geez! :o Thanks a ton... I had no idea that option was there. I think I'll keep it on Folder View now that I (you've) found it... will make it easier to deal with files.

This is an unfortunate problem. I had it happen to me a few years ago when I tried to install Gentoo on a then-new AMD 939 machine. I haven't had it happen since, though, so it sucks to hear the issue still exists on certain machines. You shouldn't have to, and I consider it to be a major...
