Houston, we have a problem! Got this mobo yesterday, and I'm trying to start it up... but no success. I've got 1GB DDR2 533mhz CL4, a 90W PicoPSU and a 84W AC adapter. Everything comes from the same store. The mobo itself seems to start, as heatsinks get hot, leds blink on the NIC and on the keyboa...

Fujitsu joins the other two Unfortunately they went the way of the Western Digital GP, and further reduced rotating speed to 4200 rpm, not to mention the fact that it's also a non-standard hight, 12.5mm, which won't fit into laptops. Also, february came and has almost gone, and the Hitachi isn't in...

I guess it's something like that. Nonetheless, it is the first device I've ever seen that ran out of battery while plugged into a wall socket.

Well, I just learned today that Kill-A-Watts have batteries - WTF? Well maybe not the actual killawatt brand, but I busted out my power meter again and it wasn't working - I had to replace two watch style batteries in it. Apparently to power the screen, why it can't draw from house power I don't kno...

no, its kilo (1000) times watts times hours

people care more about movies than music. for whatever reason. humans are primarily visual creatures. which is why people get hd-tvs, but not surround systems (I mean good ones, not htibs)

Yes

Yes. However it is already reached. Looks like some people are born with good eyes.

Interesting method of advertising......

And to imply that black on black murder should be meaningless to a white person.....ludicrous. White people get in the way of black crime all the time, sometimes by accident, sometimes not. Murder is something that should be stopped, no matter who is being killed. I'm not saying it's not bad, but h...

When's the last time you or Bluefront bailed anyones ass out of anything? We don't need unemployed mechanics with guns to bail asses out of places, we need trained soldiers with guns, which they will continue to have regardless of personal gun ownership. Just to clarify that. Just to clarify this ,...

Well, considering all crime in america is black on black, gang on gang, in ghetto areas (according to BF and the like), and other than that it's a safe country, why not just stop going into the ghettos and let them kill each other, while you stay safe without guns in your whitebread world. seems lik...

ahhh once again gay ass region locked dvds that when I buy in the states hate my european equipment and vice versa. crap like that discourages me from even BUYING dvds. There are plenty of region-free DVD players out there, and when it comes to software something like VLC will play them all too. No...

in the UK? is that possible?

Bluefront, I see no need to keep arguing with the Europeans. They've made it clear that as a whole, but not totally individually (we've seen the Netherlands, UK, Finland, and Sweden represented here) that shows us Americans exactly why we've had to go bail their asses out twice in the past 100 year...

Criminals are the problems, not the guns. Any government type intervention is bound to fail anyway, and the criminals will continue to find ways around them. The US constitution says currently that the 2nd amendment "...shall not be infringed". We do have laws on the books, that prevent guns from b...

Well looks like the Hitachi is supposed to hit at 400USD, and the 24/7 version even higher, so for the time being 320 might be the way to go.

For example here's some of the comments made by the leader of Swedish Social Democratic Party, Mona Sahlin: "I hate everything [that's] genuinely typically Swedish." "Swedes are so boring, we should get inspiration from the East. Islam could liven Sweden up." Oh yeah, that would be the "bomb"! :lol...

"Right wing" in today's US seems defined by a greater desire to bomb Muslims, to oppose abortion and gay rights, and to vote Republican... Paradigms change, and with the internet I think this dominance is changing, but atm this isn't the same US in which a small group of liberals is transforming th...

Yeah, you know what's funny - here on spcr we are the "euro liberals", but in our country we (or at least I) am a right winger pissed off by the socialist "human right"/"criminal's right" government. What about the rights of the victim of the crime? That's what I'm saying - the victim should have m...

Good point, but I think a good start for America, instead of disarming everyone, would be to simply increase the qualifications for getting guns. more proof of responsibility, intelligence, and social "skills" maybe. It would be a great start to fixing their problem, then a few years down the line ...

Same situation over here in the UK, unfortunatley the "Human Rights" people are really screwing us up on this one, although they mean well (like the 2nd ammendment did ) it has been taken far too far. People's punishment should fit the crime, and people human rights should be thrown out of the wind...

Antec NSK-plus with one of these in it and a 140mm side fan volted to abouth 4Volts... awesome!

I'm willing to go for the tougher punishments 100% agree with you on that one, however applied to Germany. The punishments are laughable here. 15 years prison for 11 counts of manslaughter? Juveniles getting 5 years for murder? 3 Years of Probation for juvenile attempted manslaughter? 3 foreigners ...

Crime is bad and common, but stupidity is sooooo much worse. Yeah, you're right. The lonely retarded kid with a semi-automatic weapon down the street is much worse than the murderer on the loose. True. Criminals at least have an intent, which makes it possible for a good police force to predict or ...

Yeah, with the amount of smug that hybrids emit, it's best to keep your windows down.

Reading some of the comments in this thread almost makes me think liberals fear law-abiding citizens trying to defend themselves, more so than they fear criminals. To an extent you might be right. The recent shooter legally had his guns. Crime is bad and common, but stupidity is sooooo much worse. ...

guns are also designed to protect our society from enemies, both foreign and domestic. That's what the Second Amendment is all about. Not doing a very good job on the domestic front, is it? Please.... stop making good arguments, everytime you do, BlueFront ignores it, and continues spewing nonsense...
