As much as it may be a surprise to learn so, the only taxes that our government put on bicycles are income tax (from businesses run from bicycles) and VAT (our version of sales tax, which happens to b...

It's a load of bollocks. Streaming games is one of the most pointless uses of bandwidth ever. The amount of people that will go over their fair usage policy because of this... It doesn't even bear thi...

I should rephrase all three... ISPs put restrictions on how much you download over the internet... That's their fair usage policy. I assume that they'll be using the internet to stream the games, whi...

Post: RE: Best hardware for your buck!

It depends, If I need a cheap part I use Droid Recycling (Ebay seller), because I know they're kosher. Then again I bought an XPS M1730 from Ebay, dropped it 4ft onto carpeted floor and it killed it.

Post: RE: Best hardware for your buck!

It was supposedly new, that's the problem. I looked at the motherboard after the drop and there was a 20mm crack in the GPU. a 4ft drop doesn't cause that (might have made it worse though)
