Re: Questions about Modems for Cable, Fiber, etc.

Uverse is still 4-pair from the outside into the modem. I disabled my router and use my own but still have to pay for it. I don't think it is any other way no matter what company.

Re: HTC One

I have the same phone. And I agree with your review of the phones features. I am coming from the Galaxy sII touch and this is a nice evolution of Android. Honestly my one major complaint is using the phone without a case, the edge of the aluminum can be annoying to hold after a while. But overall th...

Re: Acer 4830t-6642 troubles.

I am sorry for not entering more information about my problem. I just had some register errors with windows and fixed it quite easily. (Hard part was finding my win7 disk)
A little paranoid with the M4 but it has been fine since. Thank you guys for the response. Case Closed!!!

Acer 4830t-6642 troubles.

Hey guys, I am wondering if someone knows what my issue is with my laptop. Two days ago I tried to turn it on and it blue screens after a few seconds of the win7 splash screen. Thinking it was the Crucial m4 5000h bug I updated the bios but to no avail. Other than reformatting the drive does anyone ...

Re: BF3 beta

Playing a few hours it is similar to BFBC2 with gameplay but now you can laydown to fire. Graphics so far I noticed are better than BfBc2 with detail but still some glitches here and there. Amazing is the size of the boards. And destructible environments are impressive.

It took me a second try to flash the card. I don't know why it didn't work the first time but it finally worked. I used this guide: http://www.techpowerup.com/articles/overclocking/vidcard/159

New Laptop advice

With my soon to be separation from my fiancee, I will be needing a new Laptop when I move. Currently we share a Newer 13.3" Macbook and she gets that by default. So I have been shopping for a laptop for me. I really have my eye on the Fusion from AMD, specifically this one: http://amzn.to/kH7n1...

Re: Crysis 2 :(

Crysis 2 has sold about 1.5 million copies so far, which is pretty good for a first time entry on consoles, but quite a ways off from the sales figures of Crysis 1. Wikipedia asserts otherwise. According to The simExchange, the NPD Group reported that Crysis moved 86,633 retail units in the first t...

Let face it Crytek was lazy and looking for the most return with this game. It was at the expense of everyone who bought their games and justified the PC community who enjoyed upgrading to newer hardware.

Re: Bought a house - best way to learn basic handyman stuff?

Get one of those power tool combo kits. They will go along way for random odd jobs around the house. If you have the money then any top brand is fine but short on cash the Ryobi brand is great. The Lithium batteries are worth the extra too. And they all have additional tools that can be added if nee...
