I, for one, love Windows Vista.

Oh geez. I originally made a mistake of posting that with the wrong quote... I didn't even notice the wrong link as well. Thanks much!

From our front-page news: As we posted yesterday, KDE 4.0 RC2 has been released, and now Ars Technica took the opportunity to take a look through what's new and relay their thoughts. I've been a KDE user for quite some time, so I am looking forward to checking out the latest version after it's...

A Calgary man who mistakenly believed that a $10 "unlimited mobile browser plan" would enable him to surf the internet with impunity, "downloading high-definition movies and other bandwidth-hungry applications", was slapped with an $85,000 bill for his trouble...

From our front-page news: This article comes as a coincidence... I was just contemplating what RAID0 would be like with SSD drives a few days ago, and here comes along an article that goes above and beyond the line of duty. The folks at Next Level Hardware didn't do the bare minimum and do RAID0...

A move like that could hurt them even further. eBay sellers are already pissed off with the fees, with many of them having already jumped ship to go to competitors. If they hike it any more, it's only going to escalate the problem.

From our front-page news: PlaysForSure was first introduced by Microsoft way back in 2004 as a certification to let you know that the product you are purchasing has gone through stringent compatibility testing. Oh, and that it supports DRM. But that aside, PlaysForSure was a good way of knowing...

From our front-page news: As disturbing as it is, it's nothing new to see retailers use deceiving methods to push their customers into a purchase they might not otherwise make. Some even go as far as having a separate in-store website with higher prices, but we won't get into that here. This...

From our front-page news: AMD did themselves no favors when they shelled out a staggering $5.6 billion for ATI last year, considering they were already dealing with financial woes. It took a while for things to shape up, but ATI is beginning to look like a wise purchase. But was $5.6 billion too...

From our front-page news: When eBay was first brought to court due to a patent breach that revolves around the "Buy It Now" feature, I didn't think it was going to go anywhere. As it turns out, I was wrong. A Federal Court judge has ordered the massive online auction site to pay $30 million to...

From our front-page news: To start a torrent of hate, all that's needed is one part news posting and one part Apple. "Apple Zealots" are a unique breed. They don't just use a Mac, they live the Apple lifestyle. They are very passionate about the company and products they support, but as News.com...

He's only had two minor fender benders, oh and that one little accident where he totaled his car. So it came as a shock to Jason's mom when she called to renew the insurance on his Nissan 240SX, only to be quoted $104,556. By calling around, she eventually got that number down to $50,000, still...

From our front-page news:We are all well aware that Windows Vista has a service pack right around the corner, but so does Windows XP. Although Service Pack 3 has been in beta testing for a while, the RC1 has been released today... albeit unofficially. RCs normally denote a final product, but one...

From our front-page news: I am a firm believer that 1000W is overkill for 99.9% of computer enthusiasts, but it's hard to resist such a powerful beast when building a new machine. Because of this, demand is high and the choices tough. To make the decision a wee bit easier, Christoph Katzer has...

... cops are now finding other ways to use their time. http://www.boingboing.net/2007/12/12/mall-cops-flag-juicy.html

It should be fairly overclockable, although I wouldn't worry about increasing the frequency. I'd get a RAM fan and pump the voltage to 2.2v or 2.3v and see if 4-4-4-15 is possible. If it isn't, don't stress it. It's still a great setup.

Merlin, you have a great upload, and one I'd love to have. On the Extreme Plus package, I think it's 1Mbps up. Right now, my -real- upload speed is around 60Kb/s, or 512Kbit/s.

From our front-page news: Yeah. So I am not a fan of Vista, and yeah, I never get bored of using my "Killer of Dreams" image, but that's not what's important here. What's important is that if you are, for some unexplainable reason, wanting to own a copy of Windows Vista (I just threw up a...

From our front-page news: Back in September, we learned that SPEC was in the process of creating a new benchmark with the specific purpose of evaluating power consumption and efficiency in servers. It seems the folks at SPEC worked overtime, because they've just announced a final product, ahead...
