You are the one that said that 1tb hard drives didn't exist in any market that I could get to. I found a 1tb hard drive, and posted the link and the price here to show that it did in fact exist an was available to be purchased by me. That was the only price that I quoted for 1tb hard drives. I didn'...

Ok, so if you didn't lie, then, has anyone seen a new, factory-sealed Seagate Baraccuda SATA II 400GB 7200.10 for $42 shipped? I said it cost $84, but you claim the price I stated was at least twice as high as currently reasonable prices. Is $42 a currently reasonable price for that hard drive? If a...

Looking at prices, it seems that DVD+RW's are not really cheaper than hard drives. At newegg.com, it would cost approximately $173.45 (includes shipping) to get enough dvd+rw's to store a terrabyte. That's only a few bucks less than the price arcane estimated for getting 1tb with hard drives. And wi...

Carbonite boosts your upload speed? :puzzled: Huh? Where did you get that from? :? And are you kidding me about university? You only seem to know stuff you( should)'ve read in ads. Why wouldn't I be in a university? In fact, check my location. It says UB, which is what everyone around here calls th...

Again, if you think knowing a couple of prices and benchmarks of some hardware devices is "knowing hardware" then you don't know shit about hardware. Which shows. Hardware needs to be applied, managed, and so on. Fit in a context, which in turn is 10x more important than the hardware itse...

Hmm, when are we going to get some more smilies? I think someone already designed a bunch more that fit with our greyscale design. They're just waiting to be uploaded.

Read: computer hardware related stuff. Like computer components. Need prices for cpu's or graphics cards? I know the street prices off of the top of my head. Want to know which graphics card is faster? I've memorized the performance on quite a few of them. Want to know what's a good price for a cer...

Obviously, with all the ability you've shown. Like paying for an online backup method, being unable to argue against alternatives like freely automated smtp accounts, showing nothing but inexperience and ineptitude in subjects concerning information technology and it's global market, and even being...

But why would the game run super-fast after the glitch happened? Also, my calculator didn't need the LCD fix, it worked fine with all the problematic games when I first got it(unlike my last one). It would have had to set a different LCD value that messed things up. Resetting it to default wouldn't ...

Strange Calculator glitch caused by Basic program

I was running OregonX(an oregon trail game in BASIC) through CrunchyOS today, when it crashed. Due to CrunchyOS's features, it did not clear the RAM. It simply told me when I started it that "temp files were cleared out". When I started the game again, it ran very quickly. Like, 2 or 3 tim...

I'd have to agree with that. I'm not going to get a console because the graphics are better. Graphics are definately not the most important part of a game. It's the gameplay that matters, and Nintendo games tend to be pretty good in that aspect. Also, the Wii's controller is the next step toward a v...

Ah, but posting misleading information about your past posts in an argument is a great way to get me to post. I mean, it isn't like these 1TB hard drives were hidden, and yet you go claiming they don't exist in any market I could reach. I think it would be good to recall that I'm pretty good with co...

can you really put a number on the worth of your data? It's likely that the important stuff is unrecoverable, making it priceless, so yes, backup is worth it. I'm not discussing that fact there at all (in fact I further backed your expressed scenario as being a fact) only which context applied to my...

Well, it seems like keeping the price at $250 is good business. I think that I read that parts of Europe have already sold out of Wii systems in the pre-orders, so lowering the price would only have the effect of decreasing profits. I'm hoping they lower the price next year, as I'd really rather not...
