@phiyuku: ATSC decoding is good enough, I only have basic HD cable and my provider doesn't support CableCard anyway.

If you're looking for a BD-ROM drive, I've been using this LG model for 2 months and I love it to death. $60 at newegg, and it combos as a CD/DVD-RW (it's OEM though, so you'll have to find your own Blu-Ray media player.)

The article glosses over this subtopic, so what are some reader suggestions regarding TV Tuner cards? There are still many channels and shows that don't push to internet streaming within a reasonable amount of time, and I want to DVR them. Unfortunately, every TV tuner I've purchased in the last 10 years has been…

@foosnark: Yeah I love the G2 actually. Been saving up for awhile to buy it off-contract as I practically loathe my Motorola Milestone (GSM version of the Droid) that I am stuck with for the next 12 months.

Woah, somebody made Naked Lunch into a movie? And it's on Netflix Instant! I know what I'm watching on Sunday afternoon.

@abeeee: But can my music players automatically stream the audio files from livedrive? Nope. Google Music's appeal lies in the promise that everybody with an Android phone, and probably else with a smartphone, are going to have an app that'll play the music without having to dick around with downloading first.

@Se7en_speed: Besides the fact that the CR-48 shouldn't have ever been reviewed as hardware to begin with. It was a free computer with the intention of demoing the operating system that came on it. It may be a fairly limited operating system, but its appeal is to a very specific kind of user.

You know what this is? A bigger G1 with a screen that tilts.

Well he's certainly stabbed with the spiky nipple, impaled would mean the nipple was shoved up his.....um....nevermind.

@FARMERINMYPANTS:

@lioneloconnor: Yeah I agree. Everybody hates on Season 9 and 10 but it had a different sort of appeal and as a whole I felt was still fairly great genre television. The final episode was just spectacular. And come on, Ben & Claudia together! It was a Farscape fan's wet dream!

@lioneloconnor: I don't make a practice of disagreeing on personal taste so believe me when I preface this by saying I totally respect that you loved the first season. But for me, it was the worst. It felt like they were trying to carbon copy SG-1, right down to the personality quirks of their lead characters. Some of…

@CarrerCrytharis: I haven't watched the show in ages and so couldn't really give you episode by episode recommendations, but when the show really became amazingly fantastic was Season 4. The freak-of-the-week stories are still pretty common, but drama, character development, even humor are improved significantly. The…

The painful reality is that no matter how good or bad this show is, it's going to ratings-fail just as miserably as Caprica did. The ratings might have looked incredibly bleak, but I'm convinced that if SyFy had stuck it out with that show, Caprica could have succeeded. Splitting the show into two half seasons nearly…

But now how do I get the Kool-aid stains out of my bathroom fixtures?

I saw the Pizza & Cookies at Wal-Mart last week. I stopped my cart dead, stared for a good 30 seconds, and eventually burst out laughing.

You make some excellent points, but I've already resolved to wait just one more year before going SSD. By 2012, it is not unlikely that a 128gb ssd will drop below the $100 mark, and that's when I buy. Also 2012 is when it'll be seriously time to replace my still chugging AM2+ socket desktop, and the new computer will…

I wouldn't call "Back To Earth" terrible, but it did confirm the fact that they shouldn't put this show back on the air again. The writing was a painful reminder of a time in television long past, and the actors had aged enough that it was just depressing to watch.

@Scott: It's not validated against your full number, it's a lookup code that is somehow related to your account (in which way is different with every card supplier) and has to be phoned in to the issuing bank for verification.

I really hate the name HTML5. It's not a new version of the Hypertext Markup Language, it's a new client-side scripting engine independent of its HTML4 counterpart. A programming language. Which is exactly what markup is not.
