Beware - niacin makes people flush. It makes me flush, hot and itchy, usually around the neck and back. As for the drug test, I don't know - I've never been in a situation where I was worried about a drug test.

In some places, this is not an option. Seriously. In Florida they have that water that tastes a little strange and smells a little like sulfur. The PUR filter takes that out, no problem - my wife and I drank that for years. In Yuma, Arizona however, the water out of the tap smells and tastes...

This did work. '91 Supra T Targa -> '98 Civic LX Auto = full coverage price cut in half for me. Also, we've been putting all coins in a jug for quite awhile, but haven't visited throwing dollar bills in there yet. I think I will start that. When DT says that trying store brand items is hit...

There is a bit to take into consideration, yes, but if you buy compatible "best buy" components [what I mean is, not the top of the technology curve, but JUST behind the top, where you are getting the best cost to performance ratio NOT counting overclocking] you will be doing fine. There are a...

Totally true - and it's not just a High School phenomenon. I find that women try to one-up on things that don't really matter quite as much to guys, like emotions. The one-up comes where one has a story that happened to them, or their friend, or their mom, a story that was so tragic or happy or...

Hydrocodone messes me up pretty well. Half of a "horse pill" when I was really sick put me out for the whole flight from Seattle to Korea. Phenergan did about the same to me - knocked me out and made me a slobbering idiot for about 12+ hours. That was given to me when I got a case of food...

I have a nice stepping of an Opteron 165, but I don't dabble in OCing anymore. It's nice that you can do it, but it starts to get nutty when you see dumbasses write negative reviews for processors just because they don't overclock well.

It's a good thing they were busted. Or not.

"He was smiling... That's right. You know, that, that Luke smile of his. He had it on his face right to the very end. Hell, if they didn't know it 'fore, they could tell right then that they weren't a-gonna beat him. That old Luke smile. Oh, Luke. He was some boy. Cool Hand Luke. Hell, he's a...

Normally for this model of auxiliary power supply, you would attach your second power cord. It is a 115V AC cord like your computer power cord, but with the end cut off. In it's place is a 3-pin molex connector that mates with the back of the power supply. You stick the cord through a bracket...

I'll let you know how things seem in a month. My current setup has an Audigy2 running 5.1 on some Logitech Z5500's. It sounds great. My next machine has onboard 7.1 and no room for expansion [dual-slot VGA card takes up all available room]. I'm wondering if this newer onboard 7.1 will sound...

I've never had that happen, but I have accidentally changed the font size. I was scrolling the mouse wheel down a long web page and accidentally hit the Ctrl key with my other hand. Ctrl+Mousewheel up/down changes the font size for me. Works in IE as well. I don't know if it's a Windows shortcut...

I've seen this twice now. Do a google search; it takes about 10 seconds. People are working on DX10 for XP. Why? Because they hate Vista and want DX10. In the opinion of many people, the only reasons to upgrade to Vista are for DX10 and capability for more RAM, and many of them won't gimp their...

Intel has been embarrassing AMD ever since the Core2 came out. I was an AMD fan from the first PC I built [a 386 DX40 roughly 15 years ago] up until about the time the Core2 architecture reared it's head. I still respect AMD, and they may come back [ for example, after a long run as the...

There are drivers for the X2600 series for XP. http://game.amd.com/us-en/drivers_catalyst.aspx?p=xp/radeonx-xp

In many cases, this is true. In one of Falcon Northwest's systems, a model of Fragbox curiously came with 2GB in one stick of SC DDR-2 RAM. I saw tests of this machine where the reviewer threw dual-channel in just to benchmark and test it, and there really wasn't much of a performance increase...

It was around 3.69 in NC until a week ago - it shot up to 4.40 or so. Now it is down to 3.89 I think. My "commute" had dropped from 15 miles each way to 1/4 mile, so I don't need to fuel up as often. Because of this I don't keep up with it so much anymore. Arizona must have dropped a ton. When I...

I downloaded the trial version of Server2008 from Microsoft's website. 2.5GB ISO file for the 64bbit version, and it is "extendable" up to 240 days of use. I also got the "Server08->Workstation08" converter program. I figure trying this out on a brand new computer won't hurt, and XP can keep me...

This goes in the 3.5" bay that can be accessed from behind a fold-down panel on the front of the case. I won't be using a floppy drive or a card reader. It houses two 2.5" hard drives Processor happy in it's new home! All I need now is memory, a video card and a SATA optical drive...

Maximum PC - This Month's Issue: "Inside Microsoft's $6 Billion Failure" I have run XP Home, Pro and Media Center Edition 2005 since the beginning of 2002. They have graced graphic cards as old as GeForce2 up through X1950 Pro. Processors have been Intel 733 MHz, AMD Athlon 1.2GHz, Pentium 4...
