When you buy a computer, would you concern about the brand name?

clorissa123 @clorissa123 (4926) • United States 22 Mar 09

Some people really concern about the brand name when they buying a computer. Sony Vaio is the best, while Lenovo is the worst in the market. How would you know? Because the price difference. I can't argue something like that, base...

voxpopular Price is pure BS. Sony is basically the Apple of the PC market, in that you pay a higher price for the brand name and product design. (Apple does use higher-quality, well-tested components, compared to the average PC, but I don't know if Sony also does this.)...

voxpopular I'm using Biostar. It's a decent enough board. The small included manual suffers a bit from Engrish, though. My board is slightly overclocked using the Windows OC'ing tools Biostar shipped with it on CD; I think it could go higher if I manually toyed with the...

clorissa123 @clorissa123 (4926) • United States 25 Mar 09

voxpopular I used Damn Small with Fluxbox for a couple of years on a PII/300MHz/128MB laptop. My concern is that Fluxbox is too unintuitive for the average user who's just sick of Windows and isn't expecting to spend a lot of time poking around and getting the hang of a...

voxpopular I'd suggest Zenwalk, personally. I hear it's more lightweight than Xubuntu, and I use it on a ~10-year-old laptop (500MHz Pentium III processor, 320MB RAM, 10GB hard drive). It runs a sight faster than Windows 2000, which I also have installed for when I need...

voxpopular WinAmp all the way. It's light on the memory, intensely skinnable, has a simple playlist interface, and then a more advanced media library management window if you want it. On a side note, VLC is what I use for any music format that I can't find a WinAmp...

voxpopular I use the mouselet, the eraser-like plastic nub that you can find on all ThinkPads and several other laptops. It means a lot less repetitive swiping motions, more precise movement, and generally a more convenient and efficient experience. You need to replace...

Draft Or Slavery...

twoey68 @twoey68 (13627) • United States 28 Mar 09

Recently I saw where the new GIVE bill passed the House. Basically it says that anyone 18-25 is mandated to serve 3 months at a type of a boot camp. It’s basically a draft. You don’t get a choice. Your kids don’t get a choice. I...

voxpopular I hardly think three months in decent living conditions, with a non-leaking roof over your head, and enjoying the fruits of your labor (that is, improved American infrastructure) is slavery. That being said, I think this program should be strongly encouraged,...

James72 @James72 (26790) • Australia 27 Mar 09

voxpopular Unfortunately, I'm both male and tall (not to mention bony). I can get my fingertips a few inches below my knees, but as long as I'm not willing to bend those, I'm not going to get very far. For awhile I was making some progress because we had to do stretches...
