    Desktops vs Laptops: Which do you prefer?

    There are computers everywhere I go, so purchasing a laptop isn't necessary for me. I like having a powerful beastly desktop at my place of residence. I have all my docs uploaded to email services so I can pull them from any computer away from home

    Xbox360 emulator for PC?

    Don't know about the 360, but there are emulators for SNES and N64 for sure

    Upgrade My Computer

    Ah yes that would make much more sense now that I'm reading it However I have seen rather low end cards with absurdly high amounts of onboard RAM. Anyway, I would still suggest buying a new graphics card (and new power supply if more power is required)

    Should I go college?

    Yes go to college. I hate physics as well but I love genetics and organic chemistry, so you can't have everything

    Upgrade My Computer

    I think upgrading the graphics would be the way to go if your mobo can support it. An 8500GT is a decent card, but all because it has 1.2 GB of onboard RAM doesn't make it a good card. $200 could get you cards that used to cost $500 a couple years ago Just beware if you plan on getting a new...

    Building a computer

    For $400 to build a decent gaming/daily use computer isn't much.. $600 would provide enough for a pretty good setup. I suggest you check Newegg's Daily Deals section and its occassional Shell Shocker for big savings

    McCAIN Vs. Obama

    I'm not voting for Obama, but honestly? 1. So what if his name sounds like Osama? His middle name is Hussein. I don't see how this has any relevance; even if he were a secret-terrorist-in-hiding, anyone would take action. He'd only be a president, not a dictator. 2. The Muslim religion...

    Battlestar Galactica coming to Crysis!

    I never started on BSG just because everyone I know who did got addicted, and I can't afford any addiction during college.. but that does look quite impressive. However I'd have to say that the person who compiled that video from those in game shots should've had a better video card to really...

    Really? I thought you could register on their forums and participate in their "derbies" and get your T-shirt voted up

    Make Merchandise

    http://shirt.woot.com I believe the artists get $2 per shirt sold; the remainder goes to covering the cost of the shirt $2 per shirt, and selling 5000 shirts isn't bad at all!

    NBC Streaming Old TV Shows Online

    McCAIN Vs. Obama

    Could you link me to any proof showing that McCain is going to tax healthcare? I'd like to read up on that Also, the economy under Bush was very strong a while after 9/11 until now. The current state of the economy is NOT due to Bush, but due to the greedy lending institutions that took...

    Interesting how the poll can't take 12 items.. kind of skews the results But hooray for June!

    Windows 7(Vienna)

    Don't need to build one when there's tons of free Linux distros out there that can do the same things Vista does

    Microsoft vs. The World

    ..but Microsoft's new OS is bloated and glitchy. Who else is there to blame? I hope Windows 7/Vienna/whatever is an OS worth upgrading from XP.. That and Office '07 is incredibly annoying. Stuck to 2003.

    Internet Explorer Vs. FireFox

    You obviously haven't encountered FF's extensions. Adblock plus, mouse gestures, and more to make browsing faster and easier IE isn't universal in standards sense; I believe FF is more compliant. IE is only universal in the sense that everybody has it installed against their will on Windows...
