Hello,   This project looks very interesting to me. I'm just getting done with finals so I'll be going home for a few weeks, but I hope to order a kit and build it when I start next semester. I'm keeping an eye on how that headphone feature turns out. Anyways, I noticed that on the project...

I have the delayed sleep phase syndrome that gilency mentioned. It's not terrible or anything, but it certainly isn't nice after you go to bed at 2 or 3AM and wake up just a few hours later for school for a few days in a row. It's still nothing compared to anyone who has actual sleep problems...

I don't have a netbook or recent notebook, but from what I've seen, the 13 or 14 inch laptops with CULV processors are where it's at. Still light and capable of more than 6 hours of battery life (usually more, actually), but they have a bigger screen, can hold a nice size keyboard, and kick the...

I hardly ever eat fast food, and I'm perfectly happy about it. However, I have had a Quad stacker from BK and it was alright. One thing I don't like about fast food, however, is that I was hungry just a few hours later even though it was a massive amount of calories.

After having the parts but not doing it for nearly 3 months, I decided to use my holiday vacation to attempt building the gamma 1. Well I've found out that if you do it right, SMD soldering isn't too bad. But once you mess up, it can quickly get frustrating. I have most of the SMD parts done...

I have to confess that I've hardly touched my xbox 360 since I built my PC just over a year ago. I'd tell anyone with even a hint of aptitude for using PC's to consider it.

I'd contribute to the head-fi, but I started folding for OCN a little while back with my hd4850. I don't fold much, but I feel that I might as well fold if I'm on the computer anyways. Besides, it helps warm the room up a little bit. :P And a tip for anyone doing GPU folding: most of the...

Search up a popular product in google shopping, and look at some of the websites you've never heard of.

Watch out on the shipping date for that Dell deal. I bought it yesterday and the estimated delivery date was 12/15.

Spongebob was AWESOME for the first few seasons. But the good writers must have moved on because now it is just plain stupid.

I had a mild flu that may or may not have been H1N1. Then later I got a vaccination anyways.

I think I'm going to get this for PC on black friday. It's $30 at gamestop, but I might have to get it somewhere else if that is in-store only.

Wow I was fooled by this revival as well. I have to agree that Head-fi is a pretty nice place. However, I haven't had any problems with the few PC gaming and tech forums I regularly visit, either.

Yeah I haven't played it nor am I going to, but I think the RAM would be behind stuttering. If it's actually the engine that can't even handle it though, then that's pretty disappointing. Also, I have the same rig, except with 4GB of RAM and some overclocking. FWIR, MW2 isn't extremely more...

I wonder how long it will take for people to splice dedicated servers into MW2, or the content from MW2 into CoD4. Surely somebody is at least trying it. It's probably locked the heck up, but (DRM) crackers always manage to crack games, so who knows.

I heard that the single player is quite a rush.... all couple of hours of it.

Congratulations, RonnieLee! It must feel amazing to know that everything you own is completely yours. On the tangent of law graduates, my aunt just retired from being I believe a public defender and she said that the vast majority of the interns they've had in the past few years haven't been...

I basically just buy my games where they are the cheapest or on sale. If it wasn't for that, I would still buy the box. The fact that steam basically does all the patching for you is nice, but I like having the physical item more. That said, I do buy quite a few games on the Steam weekend sales...

I think this one is Midwest only. The crunch makes other chips seem pretty weak. mmmMMmmm.
