Re: Kindle Vs. Kindle Fire
I agree with this.
The single biggest reason why I don't like the Kindle Fire: 8GB built in memory without a way to expand it. And only about 5.5GB of that is usable for content.

Re: What's a good laptop brand?
The blog touched on four points, irrespective of whether it's valid or not:
1. cost.
2. productivity.
3. standards.
4. product longevity.
All are very valid criteria for making a decision on...

Re: Video conversion program?
For transcoding audio/video, Any Video Converter is a very good program. Simple and for most purposes, perfect.
Although it gets totally wonky when you get into the really high bit rate stuff--I...

Re: Video conversion program?
MKV (Mastoska) is a file format. You can store any type of video or audio stream in it. Similar with AVI. It's merely a file format.
Think of it this way, let's say you save a picture in a word...

I'm not sure who originally said this nor why it's attributed to Gates, but he's gone on to say:

Re: Emotions out of control
It's not completely worthless. But you're right, deals are becoming more and more rare.
I did manage to score 20 Oliva Master Blend 3 Torps for $116 last week, but that's the only "deal" I...

Re: CI's "Make Me An Offer"
You need to be a bit careful about that though.
I don't really know why, but different cigar vendors will have wildly different prices on various blends.
For example, Atlantic has some of the...

Re: 2nds For everyday smokes?

Because when I first started smoking, I was a pretty big RP fan. So naturally, I was picking up "firsts" of RP Vintage 90/92, Decade and OWR. I also picked up several...

Re: 2nds For everyday smokes?
I suspect it's more an overrun than cosmetic flaws. I've seen plenty of "firsts" with cosmetic flaws on them. And once you remove the band, and place 5 "firsts" next to 5 seconds, odds are you...

Re: Famous Nic 3000
Rarely.
But at just a hair over $2/cigar, they're very much worth the price. They can easily hold their own against cigars costing 2 to 3 times as much.
It's probably the only reason why I even...

Re: Famous Nic 3000's
Don't know about this batch, the last two have been box pressed-ish. Meaning it's kind of rounded, but looks like it was squished.

I stopped using the MSRP as a guage since virtually no online retailer ever sells any cigar for MSRP. Instead, the gauge is based on the lowest price from a half dozen retailers that I frequent.
