  • Smart cars don't give you the freedom of real cars.. It's nice just being able to be sitting in my apartment in Phoenix on a saturday morning and haul ass to Las Vegas with 4 passengers for a weekend vacation. Smarts are probably great for cities…

  • SLI doesn't matter much to me. I will be getting 2 video cards in my Mac Pro, regardless. I also need 4 hard drive bays or an external SATA card.

  • A lot of people want that kind of control here. It's insane: if you don't like Apple's DRM, DON'T FREAKIN BUY IT. But the French want to have their cake and eat it too. This is one of the reasons the French unemployment rate is so high. No res…

  • To do what the others have suggested, you need to locate the 'jumpers' on the back of the hard drive. There are usually only one, two at the most. The 'jumper' is a rectangular plastic piece with a metal pin inside which connects two pins on the …
