The Constant [CD]
Great CD
Customer Rating
5.0
What's great about it: Lots of good songs
What's not so great: ??? lol wut?
This CD is heavier than some previous ones and reminds me of their older style most. I wouldn't call this POP as BB does, it is ROCK. There are many songs on the CD I've come to like after listening through a few times. Its a great CD for the car!
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: Its universal
What's not so great: Design Flaw for Choosing polarity
So, the tips can plug into the end of the adapter either way, meaning the inside is - or + depending on how it is put on. On the side of each tip it says either + or - , except its in between the 2 pins on the back side so it doesn't say which is the outside and which is the inside. On the end of the power cord where tips attach, it doesn't say which pin is + or - either, so this adapter is based on guess and check. It says on the package it can damage your device if the polarity is wrong.. I used a battery and a motor to see which orientation was which based on the direction the motor spun.
Dont risk damaging your electronics, if you aren't sure how to figure this out on your own, I would not reccomend this product. The manuf. website offers no additional instruction, and only offers phone support with limited hours of operation.
This unit runs very hot, and the tips feel cheap and fit loose.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

What's great about it: Download good songs
What's not so great: Half the songs aren't relevent to the united states culture.
This game failed to include songs engraved into the public. its hard to find anyone who knows the melody enough to sing the songs. But my biggest complaint is the amount of European punk rock songs they added. They are the lamest type of music for this game, drums aren't fun when its just random hitting with no real beat or groove, and it seems that generally these euro-trash/punk rock songs have terrible drum parts, awful melody, terrible lyrics and a repetitive guitar part.
I do like that the drum parts have been kicked up a notch and they have added some new patterns. In RB 1, I could sight read most of the songs on expert and pass, this game I have seen plenty I cannot sight read.
Its great to be able to download songs I know people will recognize, I just wish the game CAME with good songs in the first place.

What's great about it: price
What's not so great: quality
Ok, someone commented about it mixing stations, I dont know if you can really blame that on this. That person lived in orange country cali, where the stations are close and in high numbers.
Anyway, this dynex one does the job but it doesnt sound as good as my old belkin, I will be returning it and forking out some more dough for a different one.
The price was great, and most people probably wouldn't even notice the quality,it depends on the car speakers and car stereo/radio quality.

What's great about it: Handy for real drumset
What's not so great: none
I dont understand why this is on here, but I have a real drumset, so with a purpose this is a great bag to keep it all organized. I dont think people have multiple sets of sticks for rockband, but you never know! Its very durable, and will last for many years to come.

What's great about it: Powerful at grabbing grease and dust/dirt particles
What's not so great: Left a smear on one screen
This product has worked beautifully on my laptop, desktop screen and TV. It has failed me once, on a friends older laptop without that gloss coating. After cleaning I could not get a streak free shine no matter how much a buffed it. It looked worse than before!! I had to take a tissue afterwards to get it clean. otherwise, the cloth it comes with feels soft, yet when rubbed against the skin it grips and grabs! Its highly effective at grabbing stuck on dirt so you dont have to use your fingernails. Only complaint about this package is it doesn't come with something small to clean the corners of a screen.

What's great about it: ITs great that they released this!
What's not so great: Price?
Im just glad they decided to release some of the songs for the PS2 owners out there. The price is reasonable considering there is no other way for us to get new content. It will definitly help hold me over till rock band 2 comes out.

This guy I can tell is underpowered for the software it runs. It does what it needs to, it just isnt the smoothest out there. Garmins are much harder to update than the Tom Toms, but Garmin has much better tech support.

Gibhunter's Questions
Gibhunter has not submitted any questions.
Factory refurbished
What is meant by factory refurbished
This can mean a few different things.. It could have been a returned unit from a retail store meaning it was less than 30 days old and the customer just did not want the unit. In this case it is often reset, data erased and re packaged for sale. Other times it could have been a simple defect in the product such as bad/corrupt software installed in which case the unit is updated and re packaged, or it could be a unit sold which was defective within the manuf. warranty period. These units are sent back to the manuf. where if fixable they get parts replaced, usually new batteries and plastic housing repacked and sold. Any of these units could have minor scuffs, but the price usually makes up for this. These units often carry the same warranty as a new unit - so check the page so you know ahead of time!

recently i bougth a apps navigon to my ipod touch but now somebody told me that i need a bluetooth gps receiver. i need an advice what i should to do
I havent heard of a bluetooth GPS receiver but I know garmin put out a $100 kit to supplement the iphone's GPS because it wasnt very accurate. This kit also works with the ipod, it is a mount for the car with the GPS built in. I am not aware of any stores selling this product yet it is fairly new.

I have a printer that is not wireless, is there any adapter to make it wireless?
You will need either a wireless printer USB hub that will work with any router, or to find a router with a USB port meant to communicate with a printer. Then you can print wireless without buying a new printer. It is much easier to find a router capable of this than that attachment listed above, and it will likely work smoother using one thing to do it all rather than troubleshoot 2 things if it doesnt work.

Is the Gateway DX4831-01e have dual channel memory?
This computer has 6GB and does support dual channel memory, they usually do this by using all 4 memory slots - 2@2GB and 2@1GB so it can run in dual channel. The i7 processors run in triple channel - these would have 2x3GB memory chips.

Why does my desktop background not stay set after I turn laptop off and back on?
You likely have a virus causing this issue. You should either take it into geeksquad and let them do a free scan on the counter or try a program like malware-bytes antimalware to scan it at home.

Which cd to burn
What blank cd's can I use to burn for my eMachine computer? thanks
Hi, It would be best to re-ask your question with the eMachine model number included. eMachines has been making desktops and laptops for many years, and older ones did not have CD or DVD burners. If it says CR-R Rewritable on the CD drive it is able to burn CDs, you cna use ANY brand CR-R you want. I use windows media player to burn audio CDs for my car.

What webcam is compatible with windows 7????
Any one currently on sale and most sold in the last 2 years are compatible with windows 7. It will likely be plug n play - just make sure the computer is online when you plug it in and windows update will find and install drivers and software for windows 7.

i have a vaio sony, should I purchase a product key and/or a microsoft office trial? help!!!
You want a home student office key. Not a trial key. Your laptop likely comes with a trial, and every time you open it, it asks for a key. You can enter the ful version key into the trial and it will convert it to the full version. It normally runs $150 for this program, but often goes on sale. ALso, it is good for 3 computers.

Yes, however you cannot use the new "Homegroup" capability of windows 7, it will be more basic like you would be used to on windows 2K server.
