    Appeal Denied: Facebook Identity Theft a Felony Conviction

    So they punish him for what he "may" be or "could" be? I don't know about you, but I prefer the innocent until proven guilty thing. But hey, that's just me.

    I'm helping a friend find a good brand, i7 720 or better laptop with a decent quality monitor, which has a 5850 or better discrete graphics card (whether nV or AMD). In addition, it must have an SSD and a BD drive. Is it possible for $1800 (lmgtfy: always missing one of the mentioned...

    High power wifi router

    What is the best high power wireless router or access point for home use? I'm looking for the most powerful one I can buy specifically for use overseas, so power output limits and channel restrictions do not matter.

    First look at Uncharted 3: Drakes Deception

    Cloning hard disk with symbolic links

    Thanks. Clonezilla seems to do what I asked, although it does it sector-by-sector and from Live CD, so it's not as useful as it could've been (I was planning to copy an old disk to a newly created TrueCrypt volume).

    Cloning hard disk with symbolic links

    A quick search shows Acronis doesn't (at least didn't as late as 2009) and Ghost apparently hard copies the contents like a folder.

    Cloning hard disk with symbolic links

    What's the best way to clone a hard disk without losing the junction points? There's a lot of them so doing it manually or copying the contents is not an option.

    Microsoft Explains XBL Price Hike

    They know most of their paid subscribers have become attached to their virtual achievements, so why not milk the shit out of them, especially now as the service (on the current console at least) is probably approaching EOL? People who are getting screwed now are the ones who voluntarily...

    Don’t Get Medical Advice from Facebook

    Sonic Fan Remix Demo is out!

    Other than joystick issues and the music of the second level (not a good fit), this is excellent. Loved it at max resolution and settings. Sega can learn from this.

    10% off Intel Motherboards, WD HD's, Gskill SSD's + more @ Newegg

    Yeah I knew I shouldn't bother, knowing their little trick, but I checked WD20EADS and WD20EARS anyway and both have suddenly increased in price proportionally. Last time I check a coupon newegg deal that's for sure.

    The government might be worse, but the general population isn't that bad. They won't actively stick their noses into someone else's business just to see them pay fines. (I'm a foreign resident in the US so I think I'm unbiased)

    AES-NI and i7 980x

    Are there any benchmarks of or does anyone have first hand experience using TrueCrypt 7.0 (preferably on SSD) with AES-NI mode enabled on i7 980x or 970? Is there any significant performance hit at all? Sorry if this is not the right forum, but it seemed to be the one that fit my question best.

    Would u buy WoW CE for $2k ?

    I agree the seller chose a pretty good time. I expect the game to start declining not too long in the future and interest in such an item should subside.

    UAE and Saudi Arabia to Block Blackberry Services

    Umm, normally they have no reason to lie when people will figure out the facts shortly afterwards, and it's not Iraq or Iran when it comes to nonpolitical issues like this one. The telecom companies specifically said no orders similar to the UAE situation were given. Having said that, I'm...
