I've seen Windows 8 boot at SSD speeds on a 5,400 rpm HDD. Though I find that if a computer boots in less than 30 seconds, that it's irrelevent on how 'fast' it is past that. If one is that impatient for it to boot, then perhaps putting it to sleep may serve you better depending on the environment you use the machine…

Waiting for the hordes of the Windows 8 bashing trolls to swarm in and muck up the post. Seems inevitable nomatter where you go online. If windows 8 is mentioned, all the naysayers have to hurry up and begin with the negativity and ruin things.

Vote: Cruzerlite Bugdroid TPM case.

If people can call Battlefield/CallofDuty games great, then Half-Life 2 still deserves to be there too.

I see. Though the Roku 3 is the highest tier model they make so while it may be older from the release date, it's the most feature packed one. Models 1 and 2 are more basic models. Now, if the Roku 1 and 2 were out but the Roku XD was still around then i could see how buying the previous gen at the higher price would…

My brother had that happen. the motors failed and the windows wouldn't roll down. It was summer time with a black painted Jeep Cherokee in the 115 degree heat and a leather interior. Not fun.

I miss these hand crank windows. Way more reliable. I've already had to replace my front passenger side motor because it went bad, and the sad part is that it wasn't used as often as my drivers window. Though I may have to replace it too before long. It's taking longer for it to roll and it sounds like the motor is…

And the issue with that is? Not trolling, just curious why that is a problem

That is one sweet setup. My G35 helps a bit, though thinking of buying a C7 Vette in April and trade-in my G35 against part of it.

That's why I play racing games and collect 1:18 scale model cars. It's as close as I'll ever get to the real thing and is only slightly better than reading about it/skimming pics on the net or magazines.

I may look into that. I like that concept of virtual accounts for online shopping.

The ones that grind my gears are the ones where people text like they're 3 years old: "how r u doing im going 2 be l8 wtf r u saying y r u mad" Granted back when phones had very few characters to use to send a message, shorthand worked. These days, however, there is more room to type out messages.

Because there aren't hundreds of different handsets with Apple's iOS like there are for Android. Also add to that Google has no control over what carriers and OEMs do with their version of AOSP when they make a phone. This is why the Nexus line of devices from Google are so popular to the more tech-savvy crowd, as…

That sounds like a very cool feature. What bank?

Yes, that is what I was getting at: color issues or if it didn't like certain materials. Good to know :) thanks for clearing it up.

And this is why animals bite people. I know if I was an animal and I had some asshat dressing me up in clothes to parade me around and make me "dance" and the like, I'd be ready to take a chunk off their leg, or leave a huge pile in their bed or something.

I can attest to the play rough/play to win, as for several weeks my hands were scarred and scratched up pretty good from teeth and nails!

I suppose if you're a kid and able to ride in an 'exotic' that you normally would only see in mags or as a poster on the wall, it's a surreal experience that will make you very happy and in disbelief of being able to experience something you find 'cool'. Not saying an adult can't experience this, but it's more…

It's shit like this that makes me glad my family aren't trailer trash hillbillies (even though I was born and raised in the south)

That's some really good information to know. Does it have any adverse reactions to clothing the way Bleach does? I'm a bit of a noob when it comes to using anything other than laundry detergent for washing clothes.
