I played Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit for exactly two sessions (About 1.5 hours game time) before I traded it out for something else. Just an awful, awful game. So yeah, I expect there will be a big backstock of it. I'm interested in The Run, but I won't be buying until I see some gameplay...

I picked up the Droid Bionic on launch day and I have to say I've been absolutely floored by the quality of this phone. The battery life is about what you'd expect from a high-end 4G phone. You can drain it pretty fast if you're streaming netflix on it, or using the data connection a lot...

ANY Reality Show, regardless of premise or talent. ANY Night-time Talk Show (With the Exception of Conan) Most Crime Dramas and Procedurals Any Sitcom (With a few exceptions) Anything that has to do with dancing, singing, and/or judges. Speaking of Judges, no daytime Judge shows. Nothing...

Don't get me started on Minecraft, I could be talking for hours. Dear god, the best 10 bucks I've EVER spent. Ever. I got this when it was still a baby, and I still play it, breathlessly awaiting Notch's newest updates. When this game is finally finished, it's going to be amazing.

Torvalds is my Home-boy.

Gah, one minute late! :p

So, I decided on a Dell XPS 17 inch. Got a core i7 Processor (With Sandy Bridge) 4 GB RAM 1 GB Dedicated nVidia GT550M graphics adapter 500 GB HDD The list goes on. In the end paid about 900 for it. Overall I think I made a good decision. The Mrs. still hasn't decided on one yet, but...

Exactly! The iMac and Apple's general philosophy has always been "It just works". No need to futz with it, no need to fidget around with compatibility. It just works. That's why they've stayed in a market defined mainly by the tech savvy and "geeks" of the world. They have a product among the...

It does matter to those of us that DO perform major hardware upgrades on a regular basis. Also, I don't know why you posted a link of paper towels, was it some misguided reference to people in this thread crying? Because if it was, you're way off target pal. Nobody in this thread is crying...

Dishcomm - Mercilessly beating dead horses since 2005. I kid, I kid!

I had a lot of "fun" trying to load Slackware onto one of my older builds. I see no reason and/or need to load OS X onto any of my boxes. I'd use a variety of different Linux builds before I'd venture into OS X. Not to say that it's a bad operating system, much to the contrary. I just don't...

I'm kidding, of course! I know everyone's situation is different. Heck sometimes I wish I had an OTA module so I could snag three programs at once. I wish there was a better way to convey sarcasm over the internet. :

I love my TV. I love my 722k. I even love my Sling Adapter. But I have to say... If you watch SO MUCH TV that you have to record four things at once... GO OUTSIDE. There's this thing called the Sun. It's kinda like the lightbulbs in your den, but bigger and brighter. There's also this...

That's actually a great question. I have Cox internet service but luckily they haven't joined the bandwidth cap bandwagon yet. Though I'm certain they will in the future. Knowing how much bandwidth is being used by my pair of 722k receivers would be really handy. Any Dish Internet Response folks...
