...and there were 4400

Advantages: thought provoking, rip roaring science fiction
Disadvantages: having to wait for series 4

...One of the things I love about science fiction is that it can allow us to explore possibilities without having to be grounded fully in reality, and pose questions about ourselves and our future without condescension. The best of sci fi generally starts with the familiar, and turns it on its head in order to open up what lies beyond, and so it is with The 4400. I am sure that most people can recall at least a passing fascination at some point with documented cases of people who vanished into thin air in front of credible witnesses. These people ere of all ages, and all walks of life, and had no reason to stage a disappearance. people such as James Worsen of Leamington Spa. This ill fated young man was a fit and healthy athlete that made a jocular bet to a group of friends and colleagues that he could run all the way to Coventry from...

Review of The 4400

The 4400 Mind Blowing

Advantages: Brilliant writing absolutely genius. Twists and turns like a ride on Blackpool Pleasure Beach.
Disadvantages: They stopped making it. They only have 4 series.

...The 4400 for me is a spine tingling series that gripped me so much I had to watch the whole series in one sitting. I'd heard my mum talking about it and knew she watched it. My mum promised that she would lend it me after she watched it. At first I didn't think I would like it, but as soon as I watched one episode I knew this wasn't true. I've just watched the trailer for the 1st episode again and it sent shivers all over me again. This series is like having a favourite film. I was upset at the end of each episode that lasts about an hour. I just didn't want it to come to an end. The 4400 is an amazing thought out programme that stretches your imagination to the limits. It's very clever the way it has been written to include many twists and turns. So what exactly do I like that's so special about The 4400 you might be...

THE FANTASTIC 4400: THE RISE OF A GREAT PROGRAMME

Advantages: unusual, gripping, thought-provoking and addictive viewing
Disadvantages: only five episodes in season one

...Think of how many people go missing every year, never to be seen again. Now think what might happen if one day a huge number of these people reappeared, not having aged a day, with no memory of what had happened to them in the time they were away. "Me and 4,399 of my closest friends popped out of a ball of light right about here." This is the premise of the TV series "The 4400". The story begins when a comet passing close by to earth makes a sudden change of direction and heads directly for it. But what people believe is about to be armageddon turns out to be much more complicated than that - for the "comet" then disappears and 4400 formerly-missing people appear in its place. Every one of them looks exactly the same as the day they went missing, and as far as they are concerned, no time has passed. But they quickly discover that...

4400 a class show

Advantages: plot lines, never gets old,
Disadvantages: short about of epps

...The 4400 is about a program of which 4400 people got adducted over the last 50 or so year and then they all get taken back in a ball of light. and they all start to gain ability, and the government department NTAC to keep track of them and help them as they struggle to fit back in to the world with out ageing a day from the day they where abducted. And most of the NTAC main staff has personal connections with the 4400. the show is on its 4th season at the moment and I am really liking it the 4400 is not the only ones getting abilities. The 44000 have made a drug Promicen which the 4400 make in they body that if injected in to an none 4400 they would have a 50/50 chance in getting an ability or they will die to me i think this program could never run out of steam because there so many more people out there who have taken the shot...

Review of The 4400

E4400

Advantages: Overclockibility, Price
Disadvantages: None

...Recently I felt badly that I should upgrade my PC from P4, that I have got , to Core 2 Duo. So, I did it. I planned to build the PC myself. I researched about the necessary parts and finally made a list of components to buy. I ordered all the components in which Intel Core 2 duo E4400 was also included. I preferred E4400 for a number of reasons, which I will discuss below. Firstly, this processor is very good on the pocket. As I have limited amount of budget, I preferred it over the other slightly expensive core 2 duos. Secondly, this processor is a great overclocker. As my plan was to overclock the processor, so, I choose this little overclocking beauty. This processor, due to 800 FSB and clock multiplyer of 10, is very overclocking friendly. With a decent motherboard one can easily achieve 3 GHz mark, with slight voltage...

Review of Brennenstuhl PM 230 Power and Energy Monitor

The Brennenstuhl PM 230 energy monitor

Advantages: Easy to monitor a single appliance or multiple via an extension lead
Disadvantages: Doesn't monitor usage from electric cookers or other wired fixtures

...The Brennenstuhl PM 230 is one of the latest generation of go-green products. While I don't consider myself to be an eco-warrior, reducing the amount I have to fork out to the power company seems like a good idea especially after recent hikes of around 15%. So I decided enough is enough and found one of these online for under £20 including delivery. It's a little complicated at first especially some of the terminology on the functions and with different cost settings. I had it set up with pricing information in about 10 minutes though. So what does it do? Well it has 7 different modes of use which you cycle through by pressing the function button. The default display is a simple time & day clock. You can get back to this mode by pressing the change button from any of the other modes which makes it quick to navigate through...

Review of Brennenstuhl PM 230 Power and Energy Monitor

Marantz SR4400, sounds great, looks lovely

Advantages: Great sound decoding, solid construction
Disadvantages: bit low on power output

...I recently bought a Marantz SR4400 and am very happy. I use it with KEF KHT2000 speakers and it sounds amazing. Saving private Ryan is awesome through this reciever the scene whith the storming of Omaha beach has bullets flying all around you powerfull explosion impacts with thunderous rumbles and tight thuds. At the same time voices can be heard clearly through the centre speaker although I had to increase the volume slightly to this channel. Features include night mode which allows digital signals to be decreased, for example when watching action films at night while others are sleeping, turn on night mode and when their is a quiet scene followed by a loud action scene the reciever will lower the volume to a quieter level so that everyone in the house does'nt run to the bomb shelter. The remote control has the abbility to...
