    ASP pronunciation

    Well I figure if it's a pronounceable abbreviation, then I think it's fine. You could say ASP or ASP-dot-NET despite how weird it may seem

    I'm having a new HDD

    All three are great in my experience. I have a WD hard drive that has lasted MANY years, but recently I have 3 internal Seagates and 2 external Seagates. They work just fine.. When it comes to buying HDD's, I suggest you find the best bang for buck in terms of space, cache, and write speed.

    Why are Volvos so cool?

    I'm not a major fan of Volvos.. hooray Toyota and Honda But the Volvo C30 does look nice. It's too bad that its mileage is terrible!

    Issue in IE 8 Beta 1

    Well it is still a Beta, so I imagine there are kinks to be worked out. I suggest FFv3 as well.. works great and has numerous extensions that make browsing so much easier

    Politics + Oil

    I agree that we need domestic drilling, as we'll reduce our dependence on oil from unstable nations. Additionally IF prices are lowered, we'll have a longer amount of time to develop efficient alternative sources

    Suggested 3D graphics card?

    When it comes to DX9 and DX10, I can barely tell the difference based on screenshots that I have seen: http://www.gamespot.com/features/6182140/index.html Is it worth the extra to shell out DX10? Maybe in the long run, but as of now the difference is negligible (just minor brightness/contrast...

    Is Wireless n worth the extra cash?

    Bah I think all this 802.11g and 802.11n is rubbish. I've played on an 802.11b wifi connection and an 802.11g wifi connection and I didn't notice any difference in sniping in COD4 (40ish ping both times, same server) I personally get whatever is cheapest. However if you do get an 802.11g, I...

    A New Way to Guzzle Gas

    I don't believe hydrogen will EVER become a viable fuel with these current methods of electrolysis. The one only way is being proposed to the Department of Energy, which involves a certain radio frequency directed towards salt water. Apparently the frequency disrupts the hydrogen bonding...

    Intel to launch lower price quad-core CP

    There aren't enough applications out there that even utilize two cores properly, let alone four.. Software vendors are going to be playing catch-up for awhile at this rate..

    A New Way to Guzzle Gas

    This isn't new exactly, it's just becoming more common. Saudi Arabia is supposedly going to boost their output soon.. it should provide some temporary relief. Greenspan wants to pass a bill to Congress that would reduce shipments to the strategic oil reserve, and allow for drilling in Alaska...
