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... Read review

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... Read review

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...

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... Read review

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... Read review

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... Read review

Advantages: Great Value for Money, so easy to overclock
Disadvantages: Not going to come close to current generation of cards

...about them could just speed them up by overclocking them. Because the geforce Ti4200 is exactly the same as the Ti4400 and Ti4600, everyone just bought the cheaper card, and overclocked it to get a high performance card. This is why the geforce Ti4200 is such a great card. For the same price, you can get the Geforce FX 5200, which has more fancy features like Pixel Shader 2, which the Geforce 4 does not support (contrary to what another ciao review says). But for pure performance, the overclocked Ti4200 will trounce others of the same price range. I have mine running at near Ti4600 speeds with no problems. So, if you're looking for a bargain VGA card, definitely consider this the Geforce Ti4200. It may be 2-3 years old, but it can still run Half Life 2 and Far Cry at a decent speed. I would even recommend this to computer... Read review

Advantages: Light, cheap for titanium
Disadvantages: Small racket head

...I purchased a TiS2 about a year and a half ago as I needed a light racket after injuring a hand in a footballing accident and the TiS2 was one of the lightest rackets around together with the TiS6. Most people in the club were going for the TiS6 which has a larger head and thicker frame. I find the racket easy to use and can handle all types of shots both with power from the base line and delicate touches around the net. I have only just replaced the strings after 1 and a half years. As newer rackets are now coming on the market the TiS2 is now an excellent choice as they can be picked up for near the £100 which is pretty good for a titanium racket.... Read review

Advantages: performance, drivers, ease of installation
Disadvantages: bundled software

...I just recently acquired one of the above cards for my Athlon 1.2Ghz PC. I have to say, having had the previous generation of these cards installed, that the card is a vast improvement both visually and in terms of raw speed than its predecessor. Games such as Return to Castle Wolfenstein and Max Payne have stunning effects which makes the realism and immersion in the game that much better. DVD playback is similarly improved. The Geforce 3 Ti200 is a cut down version of its big brother, the Ti500 with slightly slower memory and reduced clockspeed. It can however be overclocked to provide performance gains comparable to the faster card. The drivers for the card come in the form of the nVidia detonator drivers, which came on CD - or these can also be downloaded from the nVidia website. The beauty of the drivers is that they support... Read review

Advantages: Does anything you could ask it to.
Disadvantages: You forget how to do even the most basic maths without it.

...The MUST HAVE scientific and graphing calculator in terms of functionality. Having done the International Baccalaureate, my TI-83 was an integral part of my life. Insanely difficult to learn how to use simply because it does so much, once you do learn a few tricks with it you're set to do even the most complex calculations in the blink of an eye, assuming you actually know what you're trying to solve. Being a graphing calculator, it does have a relatively large screen, but in the TI-83 this is only about 6 by 4cm. Still that certainly is good enough to see whether your data forms a curve or a straight line. Changing the window on your graphs (i.e. the X and Y scales) is dead easy using the aptly named "Window" button. But that's absolutely nothing. With a bit of manual reading (if you can bear the weight of the massive manual) you... Read review
