@Leptok: USB audio adapters are their own sound card, hell they even work in a ps3 as crazy as that is

@coopdegra: Hmm yes it doesnt have the really obscure security bits like http://www.amazon.com/Steel-3-8mm-Screwdriver-Security-Nintendo-Games/dp/B000F8GWH2

Id suggest getting the ifixit kit still and then the ones its missing buy individually, may result in picking up those missing pieces in a better quality version.

@johndeere97: DC jacks in dell laptops (depending on the model) are quite easy to replace, you can find a replacement on ebay for about $15 give or take and maybe an hours labour. I replaced the DC jack in a dell vostro a couple weeks ago and had removed one from a 6 year old inspiron hoping it would be a proper replacement (it was not) in under 15 minutes. Dell laptops come apart with little effort and teardown guides for all models are available on the dell support website.

@cowgod: I suspect your best bet would be one of the higher end ifixit kits, http://www.ifixit.com/Tools

Specioficaly this set http://www.ifixit.com/Tools/Pro-Tech-Toolkit/IF145-072

I wouldnt day one purchase any new console... too many unknowns (red ring comes to mind)

@Toxeia: I posted the link today because I was using it to grab an old copy of office 2007 for a reload. So its relevant for many microsoft software resources. But I'm glad you highlighted the relevant windows 8 info I didnt even read that far into the windows 8 stuff. infact I may spin a blog around this resource as it saved me several hours today

I know this is super late coming but Really if you guys need legit download links for microsoft software you can get the direct digital river links from here. http://www.heidoc.net/joomla/technology-science/microsoft

I am still Amazed you have managed to lock up these videos with Chris, I mean you'd think everyone would have been trying to.

Incredible, How did you manage to get an exclusive video with Chris?

So Familiar

@spartanman1222: Im with you, All I want for channels besides the basics are like, sci-fi, discovery, cartoon network and disney xd and maybe food. But each of those channels are in there own seperate theme pack at $10 a piece. f that

Kit type homes have been picking up steam, Ive seen some where basically wall modules show up on skids and they all key together with relative ease using man power and scaffolding and locked in place by a top keystone, Then there are ones that pre-assembled rooms are shipped and assembled similar to the shipping container idea.

I thought it was pretty cool when I was looking at buying my house this past year as there were two local companies with different types of modular housing (both holding different patents) but I am just not the guy for that type of home.

I dont even recall hearing about a graphics card giveaway, was it not just someone trollin?

@h37s3m: man that would be a horrendously crippling genetic defect... also expect to see that in the next AAA bond film.

Perhaps he has a genetic condition that makes him extremely sensitive to incredibly weak acidic substances. Hell drinking a coke may cause him to melt into a puddle of fluid.

@Firethorne: On the computers I have put windows 8 on I use classic shell ( i like it alot more then start8) But all those after market start menus are still kind of janky and you still end up with crappy metro apps like the add new user app that forces you out to metro.

@Falcon: I find that difficult to believe. But anything is possible

@Armoes: Jetfire was epic in the series until the dispute over the Robotech copying and he mysteriously dissapeared forever.

@Fish_Face_McGee: Well I obviously cant hold out forever, but I'll probably use windows 7 until its unsupported or they release an OS that has all of the features of windows 8 minus the a start screen.

Whats even better is going to your average seedy strip mall and finding rip off transformers made from various legitimate Hasbro castings mixed together Like the body of optimus Prime but the head of Leo Convoy.
