I haven't listened to rap in about a month, mainly because I haven't heard anything in particular that I liked. I havn't heard much, but what I saw on 106 & park today for the first 30 minutes was horrible. I also don't listen to the radio due to lack of good music and bad quality. Any good new rap, rock, country, or anything basically that is worth listening to? Also, does anyone have a nice sq testing cd that they could send me?

Does anyone have an Alien Ware computer or know someone who has one? I'm thinking about getting one, but I was wondering what everyones take on Alien Ware is. I've heard if you want a gaming computer this is the way to go. What is everyones thought on this? I'll post the computer im looking at soon.... Still deciding on what I want included in the computer.

Surprised they are not strictly tablets, but I had read about these a while ago and was interested. Less then 10 seconds to boot, minimal HD, etc. http://www.amazon.com/b/ref=os_chrm_58?&node=2858603011

i thought maybe you guys could help me with this. it is in the first deuce bigalow. it is where deuce goes to the club and gets a martini and a cranberry juice and he sits down with the girl in the blue dress. i think her name was claire. just as they are getting ready to leave a song starts. its a 90's rock song, sounds kinda like weezer or something, and im pretty sure it was kinda popular back in the day. the only words i can think of is it says "the writings on the wall". thanks for any help

This thing seems to have a ton going for it and at a nutty price. My Toshiba Qosimio beast is giving me some issues and is not all that portable. Where as this one is light weight and very sleek with 75% the capabilities. http://www.geeks.com/details.asp?invtid=RU-209-201-0004&cat=NBB

Looking for a decent laptop for under $650 ($500 or less would be ideal) and I'm laptop dumb. I don't do any gaming. I don't download movies/music or do any video editing. Just needs to be used for basic uses......Microsoft Office, internet (I'm going to purchase a wireless router aswell), and eventually I want to get the software and hardware for a MLS measurement system. So processor, RAM and HDD don't need to be industry leading, but I also don't want something that will overly limit future uses. For example, I would probably take a higher quality videocard over a huge HDD. I want a minimum screen size of 15" and DVD RW (which anymore seems to be the standard). I'…

Well, the other day my HDD took a crap on me. Here's the story; I was home trying to play some Yahoo! Pool (I'm addicted to it), and then my PC started doing this thing where everytime I tried to access the 'net (via either IE or Mozilla), it would automatically reboot my PC and/or freeze up. Well, I finally got tired of dicking with it one time when it froze up, so I went to shut it off at the power strip. Only, when I went to shut it off, my hand slipped and I shut it off/on/off really fast (turned it back on before it had completely powered down, then shut it off before it completely powered back up). And now when I try to use that harddrive, the PC will physicall…

I have an old traffic light that a famiily member gave me to rebuild, I plan on cleaning it up, and replacing the old incandescant lights with LED strips. I already have a small power transformer, and Ive figured out how im gonna do the LED's. I need help on where to find a suitable timer that can replicate the function of a traffic light, or just flash each light in order.

I found desktopX 3.1, then started downloading themes, now I have my Dell looking like my G4

I'm looking for the EMNB set. I've heard great stuff about it in the past, but never found the guy that was making them on SD. I'm hoping someone could burn it and send it my way for a few bucks.

Heres a few of my favorite instrumental songs. Feel free to add on to the list because it is really short. Metallica - Call of the Ktulu (The one off of S&M was better IMO) Liquid Tension Experiment - Hourglass (amazing song) Steve Vai - For the Love of God The Used - Sometimes I Just Go For It (just a piano song, but great nonetheless) Like I said the list is short so help me out and suggest some more.

My favorite videogame, ever. Just wondering if anyone else has played it? Lost my copy ages ago, and i picking up another at Gamestop today.
