  1. Man, what would be really funny, is if he stuck the XBOX in a fireplace, right in front of the kids face. Such a good use for the 360. PS3 all the way!
  2. I'm looking at getting a new mobile phone provider, since my contract with Verizon is running out in a couple of months. I've been doing a little window shopping, but I'd like to hear your opinions, since everyone I know has Verizon.
  3. What would be the problem if it was only 200 megs, and then increaced? You still get the 2 gigs, or how ever much. But, like I said before, they have billions of dollars to invest in their services. Yes, I do understand that they have to distrobute the money to fund their programs, pay employees, etc... but, if you consider that the average price of a 500GB is around $250-$350, and if you have 1 million dollars to spend, you will have somewhere around 1,600 terabytes of storage space. My numbers might not be very accurate, but you get the picture. BTW, back when The Screen Savers was on TechTV, they had an experime nt with gmail when it first came out, and they filled up in 4 hours by posting the address on their website, and asked people to e-mail messages to it.
  4. Yea, I know a person who made a program that did this in VB class at school, and he took down the web server because it pinged a infinate amount of times. Fortunately, he was friends with the District Tech Coordinator, so he didn't get in trouble.
  5. God, i should just make a text file that says this, because I post it so much. The best laptop on the market is the Falcon Northwest FragBook. It has the best service out of anyone that makes computers, they guarantee everything, even the screen agansed burned pixels. It comes with a $300 carrying case for free, and many others.

  6. It's not just gmail that takes up a lot of space on their servers. You have all of the cached websites for their accelerator, highly-detailed maps of the whole world for Google Earth, Their entire SMS service, all of the code for their products, databases of ads for AdSence,and more. I do believe that they do have the largest storage capasity of all companies, militaries, and or private companies. I have only one explaniation. Their stock . It hovers around $400-$500 per share. I believe that is the highest price for a share currently in the world. Then, if you take into the account how many shares people buy daily, and factor in how much they get for advertising with AdSense, you get a inhumanely large number.
  7. I just can't wait until they have the blu-ray writer drives for computer, because there just is not enough disk space to fit my Steam bcakup on one DVD. I hope that Blu-Ray will not fall by the wayside, as most of Sony's revolutionary media has (Super Audio CD, MiniDisk, BetaMax, etc..)
  8. I use my computer for just about everything I do. It sounds funny, but I have my computer hooked up to my toaster oven, and one of my old microwaves. Anyway, I use my computer for gaming, research, school work, and some bills.
  9. I went to Epcot when I was 7, and I got stuck in the ball, because one of the people in the back was too fat, and I never did get to go through it. My parents were so mad, that we just left the park, and went home, because they wouldn't let us skip the lines because there was a fat person in the back that broke it. I will never go back to disney ever. Universal Studios all the way!
  10. I booted my computer off of my SUSE 10 install dvd this morning, and the coolest thing happened. The GRUB background on the disk was of lots of little penguins running around in the snow with santa hats on. I know it probally sounds like I'm making this up, but try it for yourself. It's really funny. I think they have it installed to check the BIOS date, and if it's December 25th, it displays that background. Sorry I can't put a screenshot up, but I'm not in the OS to do that.
  11. Soon, I think Wi-Fi will die out. The reason is simply: Verizon Wireless Broadband Access. For those who don't know what this is, it's a kind-of wireless,brodband speed, access. I don't know a whole lot about it, but for $40 per month plus a PC card, you can get this broadband access wherever there is service, which is growing weekly.
  12. The PC version came before the XBOX version, by about a year, or more if you count the code leak. Anyway, here is my view on it.What you get with XBOX version($50 at bestbuy.com):Half-Life 2What you get with PC version(Retail Collector's Edition: $40 at Bestbuy.com):Half-Life 2Counter-Strike: SourceHalf-Life 2 DeathmatchHalf-Life: SourceHalf-Life 2: Lost CostKickin' Half-Life 2 tee shirtLots of sweet mods to download i.e: Garry's mod, SVEN, etc...Codename : GordonWhat you get with PC version (Valve Complete Pack: $80 via Steam at: steampowered.com):Half-Life 2Counter-Strike: SourceHalf-Life 2: DeathmatchHalf-Life: SourceHalf-Life 2: Lost CostDay of Defeat: SourceLots of sweet mods to download i.e: Garry's mod, SVEN, etc...Codename : GordonCounter-Strike 1.6Counter-Strike: Condition ZeroCounter-Strike: Condition Zero Deleted ScenesHalf-LifeHalf-Life: Blue ShiftTeam Fortress ClassicDay of DefeatOpposing ForceHalf-Life: DeathmatchNuff' said.
  13. My stance on the issure is:I agree with taking games you already own, if it be for PS2, XBOX, etc... and making it able to be played on a system of your choice (More than likely, a PC). I do not agree with downloading games that you do not own, or have not paid for, and using them yourself, or giving them to other people.
  14. Have you thought about mabye the power supply is not big enough for all of your components? I had a old gateway that I decided to stick a 9800 pro in, and I got constant restarts. I finally found out that the power supply was only a 160 watt. I upgraded it, and it worked fine.
  15. Within the next years, I think the graphics card will really die out. It will be replaced by extremely fast IGP's. Or, The graphics card will take a amazing new turn, and be upgradeable. Like, being able to upgrade the RAM like on a mobo, or being able to just drop in a new GPU on your existing board.
  16. I had a friend who had his Age of Empires 2 CD explode in his drive. It was a cheap drive,and there was no metal on the back. A tiny piece of the CD flew into the CPU fan, and broke that, causing the processor to overheat. Overall, his whole computer just crapped out because of a little nick in a CD.
  17. I love to cook. Grilling is my speciality, though. Steaks, brats, hamburgers, chicken breasts, pork chops, you name it, I think I can grill it. Not liquids, or anything like that. But, I learned from the master griler, my uncle, how to grill eggs. It really is a feat in itself. I don't know where I would be without my Weber, and my George Forman.
  18. Aww... How I miss being able to eat fast food all the time. If it wasn't for those **** diets. Well, if I had to choose one, It would definately be good ol' Kentucky Fried Chicken. I love their chicken strips, and their boneless wings. Also, the Snacker is the best dollar menu sandwich ever! KFC all the way.
  19. I found out about Xisto through Xisto. It really was a great thing that I found Xisto, because I found out about IPBGaming. It is the most addicting game ever!
  20. I don't need to save hundreds, I need to save thousands. It's total bull that I have to pay $2600 per year on a car that is only worth $1000. I'm probally going to go with Safe Auto or some outfit like that.
  21. I get my drivers licence in 5 days, and I have been trying to get all of my insurance and all that stuff straightened out. When I called my insurance company, they told me that it would be $2,600 per year. $2,600 dollars per year!!!!! My car cost half of that. My insurance costs more per quarter then the driving school's insurance per year. I just can't believe it.
  22. I think the XBOX 360 still sucks, due to the fact that it will not have compatability with keyboards and mice. The PS2 had 2 usb ports in which, I can use my wireless keyboard to enter codes, and type to other players when I play online. I was hoping that the 360 would have some kind of keyboard/mouse support to play FPS games, without having to buy a 50 dollar adapter.
  23. I do not have a clue what I can ask for for christmas. I have 300 dollars to spend at best buy, and I have no clue what I want. Any suggestions?
  24. Thats cool, I hope that they can make a better photo editor now. I have always liked fireworks, and I hope they don't change it that much. I think that they still have some competition in the video editing world, especially with the new release of pinnacle studio 10.
  25. Now, I think they are both equal. Without RDA, it's just not the same.
