    Best Current Gen. Console?

    Too many threads about this, but here are my two cents. The 360 is the best console in terms of available games, it's selection is unbeatable. the PS3 is the best console in terms of potential and raw hardware capability. I consider both consoles good challengers

    how can I remove AVG?

    Well obviously first remove AVG through Add/Remove programs in the Control Panel (or "Programs and Features" if you use Vista). Once it's removed, you can use CCleaner's registry cleaning function to remove any remaining registry keys

    What videocard is better?

    If you've got the money, go for the 9800GTX or GT. I personally think the 8800GT is one of the best all-around cards, but ATi is catching up with their newer cards..

    what OS

    If you plan on gaming and such, I recommend XP. If you plan on just doing basics, you could go with a Linux distro; Ubuntu is my personal favorite as of now

    Stupid pop-up error

    Heh that's not an error, that is spyware/adware. I suggest you install "Spybot Search and Destroy" or "Ad-Aware" or "Windows Defender" to remove it. Use either of those programs to scan your computer for spyware/adware If it can't be removed, come back here and we can continue from where we...

    Smart Cars

    I actually think Smart cars are one of the worst. For such small size and poor horsepower, the mileage it gets is abysmal. It should be much more efficient. Additionally the cost throws out any possible benefits. I'd personally recommend a Honda Civic, Honda Civic Hybrid, Toyota Prius, or...

    a belief or a stupid saying............. don't know what the subject should be

    Never heard that one before.. I'd go with a "stupid"/"superstitious" saying just because I don't see why wearing a watch on one hand or the other affects business ability

    Radeon HD 3870 - Opinions?

    Heh forgot to close this thread; I got a dual-slot cooling 512 MB 8800GT from EVGA for $120. COD4 is maxed, and Crysis is nearly maxed. This is a HUGE improvement from the 8600GT

    Garbage truck ???

    For the amount he spent on that, I'm sure he could've afforded a down payment on a house. Regardless, it still looks quite nice

    day of defeat source

    Not anymore. I went to COD4 and stuck with that for an awfully long time, and now GRID as well. I played it a few days ago after getting dozens of updates, and found out that it is really like TF2. You move insanely faster, the graphics are different.. I don't like it as much anymore. I'm on...
