You know, it's funny: I used to use Major Nelson's podcast to help me fall asleep. After a while I had to stop doing that. It seemed like there were always volume problems in the way it was recorded, it would always start really quietly then some random loud sound effect or a segment recorded...

DL.TV (video podcast) - tech podcast reminiscent of The Screen Savers from TechTV Downloadable Content - Penny Arcade's rarely updating podcast EGM Live Escape Pod - science fiction short story podcast Hidden Universe HD (video podcast) - Hard to call this a "podcast" since it's a gigantic HD...

Tropical nerds on a rope.

I haven't finished Mass Effect yet, but so far it's looking like World in Conflict for me. Amazing, amazing game.

And don't worry with overclocking so much. I think most people just like to say they have an overclocked CPU or GPU more than they see a real significant benefit from it. Especially if you're investing extra money in cooling for it. But in general, if cutting edge performance is what you're...

Probably $100-150 as-is, maybe a little more if it's got a CD or DVD burner and/or a Windows CD with product key.

I've never had issues with iTunes- it's been one of the most reliable programs I'm using on Vista. I always have it set to manual sync and adjust the settings all the time and there have been no issues at all. I do remember hearing that a few versions before 7.3 had issues with Vista early on...

Yeah, I've been looking for the same thing. Though you probably won't find any with a USB port. From what I've seen they use a standard stereo connector or an iPod interface...

I'm sure someone will be able to come up with something better, but Asus has a somewhat accurate calculator tool buried somewhere on their website if you have an Asus motherboard. I think AMD has some sort of spreadsheet or chart you can download as well. I usually go with Antec power...

look at the new 6320/6420 model Core 2 Duo processors instead. They should be in the $160-180 range.

LCDs do not get "burn in". The phenomenon you're seeing on your display is from a part of the panel retaining an electrical charge. This is not very common but it can happen on older or lower quality panels. Unless it is just broken or shorted out, you can try running some full motion video...

If you're going to do a trap based on really loud noise, at least do it right. I instead recommend using one of the many, many fine "Poland" ytmnd pages.

The only thing I can think of would be trying to run them in compatibility mode. I think it still works the same way in Vista as it did in Xp.

Traveling back in time is impossible- you cannot violate causality.

I randomly came across a review for it on ExtremeTech a few weeks ago and decided to order one. Definitely worth the money- it's a fantastic mouse.

I don't really see a reason to go with a 64-bit version of Windows for a home machine right now. The driver support is more limited and the only real benefit from it is the 64 bit memory addressing. Unless you're doing an absurd amount of multitasking you won't likely see any benefit from...

Is it just me or does that look just like some crappy ad banner you'd see on a random website? It just needs to wobble around and blink to complete the illusion.

I'm sure I would hate it now, but when I was younger I loved Star Wars: Rebellion.

Strange, I've had an ongoing problem with what I can only call "scanlines" of some sort. Like a band of greenish discoloration moving up through the picture while my TV is set on it's inputs. Stranger still, it only happens when the cable is plugged in. I recently replaced it with a new Sharp...

Master of Orion 2, Heroes of Might and Magic 3, and Majesty immediately come to mind.
