    Kazakhstan DSL: $3,355 Per Month

    I hate you all! The sad thing is, I first got DSL about eight years ago when dial-up was still all the rage... fast forward those eight years and I am lagging behind everyone! *stomps foot*

    Kazakhstan DSL: $3,355 Per Month

    You guys are soaring... I'd love to have an upload speed like that. I pay ~$40 a month for 7Mbit service, although it's really more like 4Mbit.

    Kazakhstan DSL: $3,355 Per Month

    With DSL prices like these, it's no wonder Borat left Kazakhstan behind<sup>1</sup>. A new report from the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (PDF) paints a grim picture of Internet access in Kazakhstan and shows how difficult life can be for those in poor and authoritarian...

    X360: Forza Motorsport 2

    Despite owning all four Gran Turismo games, I am not familiar with the series at all, so I can't comment. I will have to load up GT4 soon and see about the complaints you have about the series. I can't imagine I'd like it as much as Forza though... I admit though, GT5 looks SWEET, I just hope it...

    OCZ 2GB PC2-7200 SLI-Ready Edition

    You will love the E6750... hopefully it will achieve some nice overclocks. As for the dud Striker... I'd just wait until you receive the new processor and see if you run into the same exact issue. If it's the case, then yes, it's probably a less than ideal board. I had the same problem recently...

    SD Card Roundup

    As I mentioned in the review, the D80 has a burst rate of about 3 - 5 images before things slow down, but the buffer shows up as 7 at JPEG Fine. After that point, it's then up to the SD card to haul ass and provide the speed needed to keep things up. The article you linked to is not a great...

    Unleash the fury

    Technically the game does it's job by infusing your mood with Fury? Lame comedy aside, the games screenshots REALLY look good to me, but it's too bad that the game is that buggy. Reminds me of the Wish alpha a few years ago... it was the exact same way. That game ended up being canceled before...

    Rockstar to create exclusive PS3 franchise

    As posted on the PS Blog: This is Michael Shorrock. I’m the Director of 3rd Party Relations at SCEA. As you may have seen this morning/last night on GameHead with Geoff Keighley, we are announcing that a new franchise from Rockstar Games will be exclusive to PS3. As part of our long...

    Anonymous vs Fox News 11

    Yup, for sure. Or, the smart thing to do would be to just trace each responsible IP address. Proxies or not, the government is able to track people if they want to, and if a group is giving death/bomb threats, I think they deserve to be dealt with. It also goes to show just how vulnerable...

    Having fat friends.. makes you fat

    I agree... it makes sense. If you hang around with friends often, chances are you will take on the same characteristics... since you are essentially doing the same things, as you mention. moon111, damn you are active. I wish I was a little more like that.

    Tesla to produce 800 cars in first year

    Good points. I still think for the mass-market to care though, it will need to go a little further. For driving around town, this car would be spectacular. You'd imagine with a car THAT freaking fast though, you'd want to hit up a highway, and if you do that, chances are you are getting far...

    Cheap new flexible solar panels you'll be able to print with an inkjet

    Now that is crazy hail. I'm with NicePants though, I think that this will be a concern for a lot of people, so it wouldn't be unlikely to see a commercial product developed to prevent that. Maybe something similar to a convertible rooftop, I dunno. Great read though.

    This pimp didnt know Karate.

    I seen this quite a while ago... but it's impressive. The pimp didn't have a chance.

    Having fat friends.. makes you fat

    I hear you.. I've punished myself for being fat by taking away my Britney Spears music that I love oh so much. Ok I'm kidding, it was Paris Hilton. That aside, I don't eat that much, but sitting on my ass all day is what I blame. Damn you Techgage! :techgage:

    OCZ 2GB PC2-7200 SLI-Ready Edition

    Well that's the thing... if it was faulty, then anything could happen. I am not saying there IS a problem with the ram, and I doubt there is, but we seem to be running out of solutions to try, heh. The settings there look good, although the SB seems a little high in voltage as well. I'll...

    OCZ 2GB PC2-7200 SLI-Ready Edition

    Yeah, I just wonder if the CPU is a bottleneck in some other way. 480x6 was stable with my E6600, but 485x6 was not. However, my QX6850 was stable up to 490x6, which led me to believe the E6600 was hitting it's breaking point. I am not entirely sure though. It just sucks you are hitting a...

    Vista... sucks

    Not being able to copy files off of the drive is really odd... is there a chance that the files were 'protected' in Windows XP through her user account? Or, do you happen to remember what the error was?

    OCZ 2GB PC2-7200 SLI-Ready Edition

    You are hitting a wall early... that board should be able to hit 450FSB at -least-. All ASUS boards I have tested recently (Blitz, P5N-E, P5K) have done upwards of 475FSB+, so I am starting to wonder if your CPU is the bottleneck, for some reason. It would be hard to imagine though... I know...
