It'll take less than a week before someone snags/sniffs enough info about how the Amazon control system has been implemented to be able to capture and control one of these. See an Amazon drone? Fire up your laptop and pringles can antenna and force it to land. Profit.

that would be money

Me, but it's really because I'm planning on replacing my entire system and I don't want to go with 8.1 if 10 is close. I would rather do a complete build and start fresh with windows 10. Believe it or not but I built my current system at the end of 2009 right when windows 7 came out (original...

- People stress about not having enough money (for whatever, it doesn't matter) - Stress is a major cause of unhappiness. So if you had more money then you wouldn't be stressing about those things and you would be less unhappy. All that might be true but it doesn't mean that having more money...

"They don't understand. I could come up with a program that could rip that place off big time…big time."

If it wasn't for states like Alabama and South Carolina us North Carolina folks would be 50th in everything. As it stands now we enjoy being in the "high 40's"; at least there's always one or two other states out there we can point at.

so another opportunity to play a game with an inadequate update frequency that results in constantly being shot while behind walls and around corners. umm.. no thanks.

As long as it still requires physical contact I'm fine with it; replace the old strip with new contacts wired to a chip but I'll continue to "modify" all RFID cards sent to me with my nail setter and hammer.

I don't really see this a specifically a laptop issue; this looks to me like the foundation for the holy grail of gaming; a fully modular gpu solution. You buy a gpu container box that includes - a standard interface to connect with a computer (laptop OR desktop) - a standard interface to...

add me to the "ah ha, that's why" list. I just figured I had lag tossed and gotten the edge of a wall or something. Makes sense now if the hitbox is still standing there. queue the "impervious meat shield tank" exploiting...

I have this exact same keyboard with Cherry MX Red switches and red O rings. By far the best keyboard feel I've ever typed on. I have this setup at home and I also bought another one for use at work. I just couldn't stand going to work and dealing with a rubber dome keyboard every day after...

It would be different if she was an engineer too and the only one not hired but that's not what happened. Also the bit about her making less than her coworkers is only comparable if they were doing the same job; which they weren't because she's not an engineer and they were. This would all...

I've never owned an official gaming mouse and I've been using a Logitech M505 for years now. All I want is a two button mouse with a scroll wheel that doesn't just spin freely (i like the detents feeling on the M505) that is designed to have polling rates in excess of the standard 125...

and the award for understatement of the day goes to...

great, so now we can sit there screaming at the impossibly broken pathing AI while looking at new buildings instead of sitting there screaming at the impossibly broken pathing AI while looking at old buildings.

I'm running the following and while there is an occasional "blink" of stutter I find it a completely acceptable gameplay experience. NOTE: I put in 6 more gigs of ram yesterday so I have 12 total now. I can tell the game does feel a bit better with 12 vs 6. Not monumental but noticeable...

PI: Wait so you want to pay me to go watch movies and while I'm there keep an eye out for anyone trying to record the movie? MPAA: Correct PI: Beats the crap out of divorce cases. Can I expense popcorn?

Looks like there's enough room in there after the install to incorporate a combination "liquid cooling solution" / "beer fridge".

The ultimate cage match version of where's waldo.

NSA = free hookers for life

Dear [H] please include a new "Bitcoins per hour" metric as well as a "Value in terms of sexual favor" char to your future video card reviews. Please coordinate with Passion VIP as having the chart be dynamic to reflect up to date pricing would be helpful. I guess some people probably need...

holy crap I baked my card and it looks like it's back working again. 375F for 9 minutes; we'll see if it holds up.

I would like to get some suggestions on a replacement card please. Thanks, here's the story. My wife's computer is a Dell Inspiron 530 that has PCIe 1.0a Stats here http://support.dell.com/support/edocs/systems/inspd530/en/OM/HTML/appendix.htm I've had my old ATI 4850HD in it for...

Dead link and it shows regular price when i look it up. Maybe was a pricing mistake they caught?

Would a used apple cinema display 24" be better, worse, the same as the zr24w? Assuming no issues with the apple

Hi all, thanks in advance. 1920x1200 native required. Gaming and internet usage. Good color is important (doesn't have to be perfect but i can't stand monitors that have a distinct "hue"). Nothing bigger than a 24" Any sensible choices other than a zr24w?

Good lord. 1st you don't know what kind of office I work in so you really have no basis for that statement. Maybe I work in an office where it is normal (and even expected) for those with an office to play music. Either way I clearly stated in my post that I was interested in a setup that worked...

So I've left the land of cubicles and I've got an office now and that means I don't have to wear headphones if I don't want to. What I'm looking for is a setup that will be used only for playing music and only as loud as normal conversation; never any louder. I'll drive it with a line out from...

That's what I've got, a 30" sony widescreen 16:9 that does 1080i. I bought it off a guy a few years ago for $200 back when the average Joe was trading in CRTs for LCDs. Awesome but good lord it's a boat anchor.

I have a 30" Sony HDTV crt and it's awesome. It's a damn beast and you've got to have 2 people to even think about lifting it but black that are BLACK and real accurate color... well I've had it for years and it's worth it. I also am typing this on a A7217A (rebranded Sony FW900) so it all goes...

If it actually worked the only thing it would transmit is a tree saying "get all this crap off me".

Download 10.6. Install. BSOD back to 10.5 for me...

I got mine. Now I've discovered the wonderful world of figuring out micro-stuttering hurrah!

Hi all; first off thank you in advance. I just got my second xfx 5850 yesterday. It's the same model as my first 5850. Whenever I enable crossfire in ccc I get stuttering/jerky behavior in games. Even in NON 3D games. I am running 2 crossfire bridges. ex: Plants vs Zombie. No 3D but it's...

Believe it or not folks but it looks like I'm in the club too. Not shipped yet but I've got an estimated ship date of Apr 14-18. What's funny is that they also sent me an email saying that the cc I had used to purchase the card had expired and that I needed to update with new cc info. Well...

You've got to be kidding! It seriously shipped? I ordered on the 24th of October so now I'm wondering if I might actually get one.

Nope but I have all the faith in the world in Amazon. I mean they wouldn't say the following if it wasn't true right?... Not Yet Shipped: Delivery estimate: We need a little more time to provide you with a good estimate. We'll notify you via e-mail as soon as we have an estimated delivery...

For some reason this 10.3a causes Plants vs Zombies to refuse to run full screen. I've tried selecting full screen in the game as well as editing the value directly in the registry. Each time the game tries to kick to full screen and then reverts to windowed. I rolled the driver back and it...

Whether they were uploaded in a situation where "right hand doesn't know what the left was doing" or whether Viacom was purposely uploading them for nefarious purposes I bet Viacom sits down to a big steaming plate of crow and tries to play it as "right hand doesn't know what the left was...

Which end has the usb plug?
