TWC bandwidth twice as fast through VPN versus direct? WTH?

So, TWC apparently upgraded my internet here in L.A., and for free no less. To compare speeds before I upgraded modems, I did a couple of speed tests, and I don't know what to make of the results. PIA = Private Internet Access' VPN Speedtest.net Through PIA 53.63 mbps down 2.02 mbps up...

Nikon School

Michael, I'm tempted to check out the Color, Light, Technology workshop coming up in L.A. in a few weeks. Can you let me know roughly how much of the class is devoted to shooting technique (i.e., out-in-the-field stuff) vs. post-processing? I ask because I only see View/Capture NX 2 mentioned...

Dell Inspiron 2200 Laptop @ DellSB - $399 AR

Thanks for the reply. This would be mostly for restocking auctions while watching TV, not actual "playing" playing. I'd be happy long as it runs. :D

Any idea how good/bad the video is on these laptops? Will they be able to play WoW? For that matter will any of the BF laptops play it?

Where can I find beep codes for the Asus A8N-E

I'm building a new system (specs below), but it's not POSTing, and the system speaker just gives one long beep (maybe 1-2 full seconds) that repeats every 5 seconds or so. If anyone knows what this code is or can refer me to a site that has the codes (the codes aren't in the manual, btw), I'd...

TONIGHT'S WOOT - Westinghouse Intelliblend Black Blender with LCD $29.99

I do not think "specific" means what you think it means. Unless, maybe, you meant the Dell ad, and even that's not that specific as it mentions four product lines and no specific models.... Personally, I like the woot threads (like I knew off the top of my head that Westinghouse makes poorly...

Restaurant.com 50% off coupon code.

Most (if not all) of them say that the coupons don't count towards alcohol. :(

Potential Hot Deal on AMD CPU/Mobo/XP x64 Combo

La di da, one last question a day before the Burbank show. With regards to the giveaways of motherboards, video cards, etc., is this a door prize thing? Meaning if we don't come early enough to register (e.g., we show up at 5:30 to pick up our bundle), we wouldn't be eligible to win? Or do...

World of Warcraft $19.99

Wow, if that didn't suck so much, it'd be hilarious. You know, one of those "you'll look back on this one day and laugh" kind of deals. :P

Potential Hot Deal on AMD CPU/Mobo/XP x64 Combo

Ah, sorry, saw your post but misread it as you getting there at 9 AM, getting your stuff, and leaving at 6. Thanks for the clarification/follow-up, though. :) So, just to make sure what to expect, did they hand out badges, name tags, anything at the AM sign-in? If so, are these needed...

Okay, so we have testimony that you don't need to stay for the whole thing...BUT do you need to sign in @ 9 AM(ish) to pick up your bundle at the dinner break?

Potential Hot Deal on AMD CPU/Mobo/XP x64 Combo

Anybody know when the bundle pickups would be, like if we have to be there all day? I want the desktop combo, but I don't want to have to take the day off from work to get it. Ideally I'd leave work around 3, get to Burbank by 5 (if I'm lucky), get my bundle (and maybe stick around for the...
