Amazon Spares Your Fingers with Blister Pack-Free Initiative

I see etailers following along. The large hard plastic pack was partially about shoplifting control where etailers shouldn't have the same problem. Brick and mortar will still need the protection this packaging offers.

Benson would have to be Apollo for that episode of Startrek where Apollo holds the Enterprise with the big disembodied hand. And if you have an Apollo, well you just gotta have a Starbuck (reed)

Wouldn't that much RAM on a video card would devour the system ram leaving too little to play most games? Assuming a 32 bit OS. Seems self defeating in the market at this time.

How to Build a Media Room

Double walls are good. But another option is to use 2x6 plates and stagger the 2x4 studs to the adjoining rooms. This provides a break in the sound transmission (except for the top and bottom plates). By staggering the studs, you break up the possible transmission through the sheetrock some more. Use the sound damping sealant/adheseive on each stud before hanging the sheet rock. Saves some money on materials and uses less space. I think this will still be a fairly lively room. Not dead by a long shot. There will still be a lot of ambient reflections from the sidewalls, floors and ceilings as well as from objects in the room. The room dimensions yield a good ratio for combating negative sound characteristics but still offer positive reinforcement for the listener.

I don't care about the explicit language or not. What I find odd about the swearing is the lack of real word use. You guys are writers and should be in command of the language to paint real disdain for products and situations. Not just meaningless graffiti comprised of Carlin's infamous 7 words. The movie Rob Roy was one of the harshest movies I've seen for language but they were using language, not generic profanity.
