There was some discussion of this. The main cause for the legendary RRODs

Consumer Reports would always knock and rate US produced Autos all
the time. The only auto with high quality was made in Japan or Germany.
For years now that mistaken notion has been

This sounds like a killer idea. Not only could it spell trouble for those
but also for the larger gaming market, those of us who build our own gaming
systems. I can't see ever spending 400 dollars on a console that is frozen

That said, doing what they say they
On top of everything else, there is the bandwith problem...are the cable
companies going to just allow this kind of bandwith to go?
OnLive claims to have found an ultra compressed video format so bandwidth
should not be a problem, but as you say, monthly caps could be a problem
for serious
They need to go after every cable company that offers anyt\ype of
service because what they claim and what they deliver are two different things.

Not bad.

This could certainly be the end of consoles--IF they can deliver frames and
respond to user actions fast enough. Gamers won't tolerate any significant
lag,
Please tell me where you have read that American autos are high quality.

Where have you read that they are not? Should not the accuser be the one

I need to inject here. I have read some good things about American
autos in places like Road Track and etc. type magazines. However I
take these with a grain of salt over my personal experiences. I've

best ones have been

As individuals, our car yarns are anecdotes. When Consumer Reports
(CR) collects all of those anecdotes, they become statistics. CR has
auto test engineers who test the cars in CR's own lab and on CR's own
test track. No individual can do all of that. No

Do you only buy products CR recommends? Do you own anything they have
given a poor rating to only to have the opposite experience? I have

They have a bias that can be seen pretty easily. (Ask Tom about
their reviews and recommendations on Computers)

My Klipsch 2.1 computer speakers no longer work. Don't know why. Power

output jack that the 2.1 speakers use. Also, have checked Device

(1) Is there some further test to do on the speakers before deciding that
they have failed and need to be replaced? (They are out of warranty.)
Yes. There is likely a fuse in the woofer/amp module. Check if it is
blown.

Plug them into another computer, or even into an iPod headphone jack?
