    DLC devalues games - opinions?

    Well, Bloodlines was pushed out early due to the company filing for bankruptcy. I'm glad they got the game out at all. Fun game. Even if it needed lots of fixes.

    Why Startups Should Only Hire Good Starcraft Players

    Yeah, most players don't change their tactics. Plus they spend to many hours playing the damn game, and show up to work tired. Taking time off when a new expansion launches...

    Western Digital Customer Reward

    No, they will honor the warranty. I was commenting on their loyalty upgrade option. I just thought that the program was a joke since the "upgrade" price is $3 less than their retail prices. If I wanted to upgrade my defective 74gb drive to a 600gb drive it would cost me $259. If I didn't...

    Western Digital Customer Reward

    So the other day I had a Raptor drive die on me after a few years of faithful service. Went to WD to RMA the drive. I was going to just one for one swap them, but I noticed that they off upgrade deals to upgrade from my old 74gig Raptor. Long story short, they knock a wopping $3 off THEIR...

    Should Videotaping the Police Really Be a Crime?

    We do. As citizens you have the right to question law enforcement. Some police forget they work for the citizens of this country. You can change things, change the government with your votes.

    Motorola Droid 2.2 Froyo watch begins today!

    About time for the OTA Froyo update. I don't really care though since I'm using a custom rom on my Droid. I have had the Froyo update for a while now.

    Bricked Droid

    Try another rom. I am writing this post on my Droid running ChevyNo1's Simply Stunning 4.5. If you can access recovery mode your phone is recoverable. Here is the link for Chevy's roms if you are interested. http://www.droidforums.net/forum/chevyno1/ I have had my Droid stuck many times...

    Digital Movie Locker `UltraViolet' Nears Launch

    Yeah, it is pretty ironic. I doubt the founders of the group have. I would've picked something that doesn't involve civil war, disease, and holocausts. Maybe they are trying to tell us something? :p

    Droid X can't run custom firmware?

    I'm sure it will be hacked. The manufacturers always try to prevent hackers from altering their products. It's always a matter of determination and time. It will be another hurdle, but I'm confident it will be overcome. I agree that it is bothersome that they operate as they do, but what can...

    New Bill Would Give U.S. President Power to Kill Some, or All of the Internet

    Sadly people in my state (Connecticut) keep re-electing this man. I write letters in protest of nearly everything he does. Luckily Dodd is out after this year, but Joe is here to stay for another couple years. It should be Little Brother in Washington, not the Big Brother bully that we, the...

    Froyo base Simply Stunning 4.0

    ChevyNo1 released his first Froyo build yesterday. Stable and running smooth here on my phone. Simply Stunning 4.0 comes with his 1.0ghz kernel also. I am using his 1.25 ghz kernel though. Flash works well on it. Flash is not part of his nandroid backup, but is easy to install. All the...

    AG Says Google Collected CT Data Over WiFi

    The only reason he "cares" is, because his term is up and he is eyeing a US Senate seat that Dodd is leaving. He just likes to be in the spot light all the time. Even if he is lying about his Vietnam service. http://www.nytimes.com/2010/05/19/nyregion/19veterans.html

    Froyo leaked for Droid!

    I am going to wait for ChevyNo1 to come out with his 2.2 base Simply Stunning. His SS 3.3 should be released soon. I think he said it is based off of the 2.2 android. We will see, but I can't wait for Flash!

    Does no more unlimited data plans make you want to join a new carrier?

    I use about a gig per month, maybe a little more. I used 261 mb last week alone. I try to limit the tethering so I don't go to nuts with the data. Verizon has been decent so far.

    So, I heard the iphone is coming to Verizon.

    I heard it was going to be Verizon and T-Mobile with the iPhone, not Sprint. Then again, it's all rumors. I will stick with my Droid. :D

    The Internet is Distasteful, Ugly and Uncivilized?

    Ok, so the internet is dirty and evil, and *PAID* Apple Apps are our saviors? I will take my dirty free Android Apps any day, thank you. Why would I want to pay Apple their 30%? Just horrible. What ever, let the sheep keep buying apps that I get on Android for free.

    Rooting Android

    Custom roms are fine. I use ChevyNo1s Simply Stunning v3.1 on my Moto Droid. Having it rooted allows me to overclock my phone and use wifi tethering. There are just a few things to be aware. One, yes, it voids your warranty (unless you flash the official Moto software back on before you have...

    Epic Says Piracy is Killing PC Gaming

    Piracy is just a scapegoat for the industry. They use the same thing in Hollywood and the RIAA. They just won't get it through their thick skulls, that they are producing garbage.... They ASSUME that we all fit the "Field of Dreams" theme... Just because you make it, doesn't mean we will...

    Favorite GPU you have owned?

    I would have to say, my 8800 GTX. I installed an aftermarket Zalman air cooler on it, and has been rock steady since I bought it. It is no longer part of my main rig, but it is still working hard and folding for team 33. That card was a huge jump from my 6800 GT.

    Will my monitor work overseas?

    I took my LCD to Iraq where we used 240v, and it was fine. Of course I checked to make sure it auto rectified the power. Most monitors will do 120-240. Also, if you are taking your desktop there, make sure that you switch the voltage on the PSU. Some will auto switch the power, but not all...

    Android 2.1 ever be rooted?

    I had the 2.1 update installed on my Droid, and was disappointed with it. I flashed it back to 2.0.1, and rooted it. It was easy to flash the old version and root it. Plus the ability to overclock is [H]ard. ;)

    Am I being plagued by the Capacitor Plague here? (a few photos to show)

    Bulging caps are never a good sign. I just replaced the caps in my LCD display. The filter caps on the power supply were bulging. The display didn't work any longer. I recapped the power supply, and the LCD is back to life. Sadly there are a lot of bad cap makers out there.

    Lead-free solder, does it really suck?

    Does it suck? It depends who you ask. I personally don't care for it. There are a lot of trade offs and differences. Obviously lead free is better since most people just throw their old electronics in the trash. Most lead free solder requires a higher temperature to be used than lead based...

    China Insists It Does Not Hack Into US Computers

    Never underestimate your enemy.... The Cold War may be over with Russia. The Cold War with China is in full swing though. I fear China's military much more than a couple of "terrorists" with 747's. No disrespect to 9-11 victim's and their families.
