    Why Do So Many People Buy Pre-Built Computers?

    This has always amazed me. A chimpanzee that can read directions, or watch YouTube instructional videos, can build a truly superior computer for less than the equivalent pre-built...plus, you get the satisfaction of building it yourself...and greater knowledge about your computer and computing...

    What Is Your Favorite Live Action J/K-Drama?

    For me, the best Dorama is the highest rated Japanese series ever...Densha Otoko. The best K-Drama? Although Hana Yori Dango and Palace were very good, I have to go with "You're Beautiful." Park Shin Hye does the role perfectly...and it was her first major acting/singing gig. All four if the...

    What Gets Your Vote For Saddest Anime Scene Ever?

    OK, let's leave Grave of the Fireflies out...seeing as how it is a 2 Kleenex box special from beginning to end. My 2nd saddest goes to the final scenes in Mahoromatic, but they tell you it is going to happen from episode one. The all-time sad for me is "Lucy's Confession," from Elfen Lied...

    What Is "Adult's Day" In Japanese Culture?

    I hear that it is somewhat akin to American kids' "Coming Out Parties." (No, the kind of coming out that is like a Debutante's Ball...not the "other Kind...LOL) Can someone explain this custom to me? The more I study Japanese language, history, and culture...the less I seem to "know." LOL

    The Aftermarket Heat Sink, CPU Core Temperature Debate Revisited?

    OK, I am no rookie, so I'd like to get some informed opinions on this topic. I am not normally given to conspiracy theories, but I have come to think (like Penn & Teller) that a lot of what we are being told by retailers of HSFs is "Bulls**t!" First off, seeing as how every single CPU temp...
