Anyway, the 40D is what I want, but not for $1300. What's going on with the $499 prices I'm seeing?

I don't know anything about cameras but I work with a guy that is a camera nut and he swears the Canon 40D is the best camera ever made. And from some of his pictures I would have to agree.

I was planning on the Samsung 226bw

We've probably got that much around here (eastern mass) - not a lot by our standards... but certainly enough to prevent my car (and a couple others) from going up the hill I live on... oh yes, commute home? I started at 2pm... got home at 9:30pm. This would normally be a 1-hour commute for me.

Blu-Ray already has the advantage as far as Im concerned. Due to the PS3 sales they have more installed Blu-Ray players. HD-DVD units sold for the XBox 360 do make up some ground, but not enough. Without the HD-DVD player being bundled, its going to be an uphill climb for that format.

Most people never got to experience how incredible the music was in DOOM, you really needed a midi card to make it shine all those ad-lib carry overs on the Sound Blaster sucked but most people didn't know any better.

aha the memories. My DX2/50 was swapped for a DX2/66 with 4Mb ram. And the ISA Tseng Labs graphics card turning into a cirrus logic card. Oddly enough I had a MASSIVE 200Mb hard drive that was originally shoe horned into an amiga. The RAM came from the amiga too (that amiga was a powerhouse I tell ya)

A year later and I have a P120 with an ati Rage 2 and an orchid righteous 3D card. I was king of the hill with that rig.

I still remember playing duke nukem 3d in uni over IPXsPX, and having full speed access using the uni's 33k pipe

that kept me going for a long time until my celeron 300 overclocked to 450 with the same ati rage 2 coupled with a voodoo 2 (And at the lan parties we borrowed other voodoo 2's to SLI them)

This spring, Mr. Corliss will attempt the first of three tests to prepare for his goal. Wearing his wing suit, he will jump from a plane, which will then execute a 270-degree turn and descend at a steep angle. He will fly down to the plane and re-enter it.

The administration's effort is aimed at stemming a further wave of foreclosures in coming years as 2 million subprime mortgages — loans provided to borrowers with spotty credit histories — reset from their introductory rates of around 7 percent to 8 percent to levels as high as 11 percent. That would add hundreds of dollars to the typical monthly payment.

Does anyone else have the problem of clicking a link in email or a document and Firefox opening two windows? Mine always opens a tiny little 1x1" window in the top left corner of my screen and then a second, full sized window. Both windows display the link, but for the life of me, i cant figure out why it opens two windows and a tiny one in the corner.

Boy. Those pictures sure do look crappy. I mean, really, my 5 year old digital camera takes better pictures. Sure this is HD video, but crappy HD video of nothing happening!

I'm amazed that the best spot he could think of for the ps2 was on top the sub woofer. Although it does say it would run from hard disk.
