    Any Macbook Pro updates looming?

    I'm thinking of getting one for my wife, who just went back to school. The current lineup has been around for at least 5 months now. I thought it would get re-freshed after Mac World... a least bump up the CPU speed or something... but that doesn't appear to be the case. Maybe it hasn't been...

    Formatting/cleaning a hard drive for donation

    Perfect mcravenufo, thank you very much. Not so much pr0n, but I don't want any personal/financial info on them for someone else to find. DBAN sounds like just the ticket! Cheers both, Johnny

    Formatting/cleaning a hard drive for donation

    Hello, I have a few old computers that are about to get donated to charity. Before I let them go I'd like to clean/format them so there is no way to recover any of the data currently on the drives. What program should I use to "clean" them or what should I do to prepare them to go out & serve...

    WTB: My WTB Thread

    I have a PC sitting in my garage collecting dust. It's got a Duron 900MHz CPU in an Epox 8RDA3+ mobo, 40GB HDD, Crucial 256MB DDR... I forget some of the specs. I'd be willing to sell the whole thing pretty cheap. Send me an email, I'm sure we can work something out.

    Guild Wars....is it worth it?

    If they're not collecting a monthly fee how long will the game be available? How long will they continue to update it? Any word on that?

    Best headphones for heavily pierced ears?

    Get something that sits on your head and not your ears (circumaural like mustang_steve suggested). Audio Technica or Sennheiser and come to mind. The canal-phone suggestions are nice, but I didn't like the E2C's one bit.

    KoToR graphics problem

    I found the grass option in video settings to be rough on my 9800pro on Dantooine (and I have 1 GB of system memory). Something like "show real grass". Turn that off for that planet and it should help your framerate. cheers

    will you play the Matrix Online?

    I can say with a pretty high degree of certainty that I will not play the Matrix Online. 2 reasons: I adamantly oppose monthly subscription games the other Matrix games were very bad

    KOTOR2 on PC.

    Microsoft has a lot of money. I'm playing the game through right now. It's a good sequel, but there are so many things I didn't like about the first one that didn't get fixed in the second (3 classes?! let me pick my OWN attributes & feats). Obsidian did a decent job, but Black Isle did...

    So I beat Chronicles of Riddick last night (pc) - thoughts

    It sounds like you didn't really learn to fight. You can throw hooks, upper-cuts, jabs and the ever-cool reversal. Basically you grab someone with a gun & turn it on them. Learn to do this well and you become uber-badass. Shoot out the lights & break some necks... fun stuff! Very cool IMO...

    Ouch, that kinda hurt. I'm not replacing my trusted JUIHB 1.7 @ 2Ghz until I absolutely have to :) It took so long to install last night I didn't get very far... just to the scientist. But, i have today to play so it's all good. Hopefully Steam will go the way of the dodo (if there's any...

    Sony V6 or Senn HD497?

    You should go out on a limb and check out the Audio Technica A500's (can be found at audiocubes.com ~$100). I have the A900's and simply love them. They are at about the same level as the Senn HD580/600 & Grado SR225's. They have excellent soundstage (great for gaming), don't need an amp...

    Issue formatting HDD with under Win2k
