  1. well, windows decided to take a dump on itself and took the harddrive with it...i feel stupid that i didn't install xp myself when i first got it...now i'm stick with a brick that'll load but won't let me open internet explorer or even allow me access to the task bar...i'm really really super pissed off...right now, i'm in the middle of backing everything up...all i was doing was reading an article about a missing kid (who ended up being a porn star) and yeah, it crashed on me...i can't even copy anything over...it's really annoying <_< i guess i'll have to get another external to back my stuff up...it's really a pain to do too...even with all it's flaws, i still liked this desktop...if i can't repair it, i'll just sell the damned thing... i think i'll keep my laptop configured as it is now...at least that way i don't run into fear of it ever messing up on me...altho, the heat from the new harddrive still bothers me...but at least it's whisper quiet as the old one...

  2. The way my laptop was designed gives access to the parts that you'd want to upgrade...I have easy access to the RAM, HDD, CPU, ethernet/wireless cards....it's a pain to upgrade the drive tho...I took mine almost all apart, and before I realize it, i had parts all over the place...and the DVD burner I bought didn't even fit...it stuck out about half an inch <_< so I'm kind of stuck with this combo drive til I come across something that could fit...

  3. the only thing you have to remember is (most of the time) larger plates on a 5400rpm HDD will access just as fast as most 7200rpm HDD's... So if you need space, then go w/ space over the rpm of the actual HDD...

    also, I bought a new 120gb Seagate from CompUSA on their Thanksgiving Day sale...It's in my laptop now. My laptop is a second gen centrino running at 1.6ghz w/ 1.5gb of ram and XP Pro...I noticed it runs a lot faster than it's original 60gb 4200rpm drive and I got better battery life...my only grip is that it runs really hot while the old one ran super cool to almost no heat at all...my laptop's also around 2.5 yrs old now too..

    btw, I was thinking of possibly getting a 2.13ghz Pentium M processor for my laptop, any of you think it's enough of a leap from 1.6ghz to be worth upgrading? I've started to do a lot of photo editing and music editing....I figured I might as well try to get as much out of it as I can...I still love this thing...

  4. I know I've been downloading the episodes or watching on nbc.com....I would be watching them live if my dad didn't get b!tchy over his stupid spanish soap operas or "novelas" <_< i guess the man needs some type of hobby :rolleyes:

  5. Format? Blu-ray of course. As for content, I'm only aware of either the 1 or 2 dvd sets, the latter being filled with more featurettes and stuff for the die hard fan of, er-Die Hard. Are there more editions out there?

    well, i would get the blu-ray version if i had a blu-ray player or a ps3 :(

    i've only seen an unrated edition w/ a metal box from bestbuy and a walmart edition w/ featurette....besides that, all stores will carry a the widescreen and fullscreen versions of the movie uncut, pg-13 version, and the collectors edition (which may be the one worth getting)

  6. has anyone been keeping up with the newly announced ipods? apparently there's now an ipod touch(8gb/16gb), ipod classic (80gb/160gb), and a new nano with video support (4gb/8gb) the ipod touch is around 300-400 while the classic remains the same price (250-350) and the nanos will be 150-200... also, supposedly, they upped the size on the shuffle but haven't read anything on that yet...i'm kinda disappointed with the ipod classic, they should've made it wide screen...meh, can't always get what you want i guess...i think their main cash cow will be the ipod touch...especially since most iphone users it as everything but a phone...:p
