Smoke in places your not supposed to, or quit smoking, or cut the costs of smoking with NO harmful effects!

I don't think it's just water vapor...I think it is the reaction of glycerine (or something similar) which is generally regarded as non-toxic (and used in stage productions in smoke machines). The items are not advertised as smoking cessation devices, though clearly thats an implied use. In...

Updated 9/20: Bing cashback

Of course the down side is that this was Ebay...and of course my "sealed, never opened" item was unsealed, opened and used. And evidently dropped based on the scratches on the front. So back it goes, along with my cashback, and hopefully i'm not out any fees...guy has thousands of high dollar...

2008 Nissans 40% MSRP

Geez, nobody pointed out the obvious "up to" before the "40% off"...but yeah, some good prices but don't forget it's a car dealer so 1) you don't reallllly know what you are getting until you are there and actually get it and 2) YMMV...only because -for once- this applies literally :)

The Economist magazine 12 weeks for $12

In for one. If paying be CC it gives the option to automatically renew "at the price above" and the only price above is the good deal of 12 for $12... Interestingly, it gives you the chance at checkout to "upgrade" your subscription to get twice as many issues at only 4 times the cost :)...

*DEAD* Powercolor ATI Radeon HD 4850 $145 AR

Want to know how long a rebate can take? I got a soyo mobo from Newegg, oh, 3 or more years ago. It was free after two rebates. Never got a dime. Called, emailed. Never got a dime. A couple of years later I'm flipping through PC Magazine and see a class action suit against soyo. Looks...

Whirlpool Duet Washer and dryer set @BestBuy.com $1499+tax -$100 rebate

That lookslike a pretty good deal...getting towards 30% off...but I can't read the info on the bb site, because its coming out all black on my screen...can see the stars on the review page and see a one and two star along with a 5. I think the HE appliances at sears are all 20% off this week.

Whirlpool Duet Washer and dryer set @BestBuy.com $1499+tax -$100 rebate

Ouch. Ok, I didn't mean to sound quite so negative. Ok...up to yesterday, all washers and dryers at sears were 15% off with free delivery after rebate. Last sunday, they were actually 20% off. Basically everything. Not trying to crap on the deal, just saying that you could get 20% off a...

Whirlpool Duet Washer and dryer set @BestBuy.com $1499+tax -$100 rebate

So this is basically 20% off...Not the lowest i've seen, but not bad. Sears was doing 15% across the board up until yesterday on wash/dryers, so you would at least have had a choice. I was actually close to pulling the trigger myself at sears this past weekend (went on a spree), but i'm 6'4"...

650i chipset, drivers and slow speed

Ok, am running at 3.15 stable...fsb at 1400,mem at 800 and getting good cpu benchmarks. Still adjusting cooling method. Have installed SMBus and nTune. Neither did much of anything...nTune requires linked mem and fsb adjustments, which is no good, so I'm still using bios for adjustments. Oh...

650i chipset, drivers and slow speed

Hey, thanks for the response. Everything is stock righ out of the box. Haven't touched the timings on the memory at all. I believe fsb running at 267 ( memory at 533). I should be able to run the memory faster, but want to get things straight before I go tweaking. Updated the bios to...
