Well, I ended up going ahead and building a new computer using the Thanksgiving week (not Black Friday or Cyber Monday) sales. I did also get a new Freesync 2k monitor. I am loving it all. I probably would have been fine to update just the graphics card as folks suggested. The new comp (update...

I was actually using that p4 until recently as a backup file / media server, but it's become challenging to find a 32-bit OS that's supported. I used the 9800pro AIW to record a lot of TV, and edited out the commercials and burnt to DVD. Unfortunately, very few of those DVDs still read (and I...

Looooong time lurker here: still using a 2500k as my main rig. Gigabyte z68 mb and a Sapphire Radeon HD 6870. Uses are web browsing, gaming, photo editing. Gaming is certainly interesting lately, but the retro and pixel games renaissance has certainly helped. Most modern games (laugh if you...

Apparently the cops are considering charges: http://bits.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/04/24/criminal-charges-possible-in-the-case-of-the-lost-iphone/?hp According to TFA, if the property was worth more than $950 (which this was, as $5000 was paid for it), the charge is a felony. Bets on...

IANAL, but a few minutes on Google reveals this: (Bold is my emphasis) ---------- CALIFORNIA CODES CIVIL CODE SECTION 2080-2080.10 2080. Any person who finds a thing lost is not bound to take charge of it, unless the person is otherwise required to do so by contract or law, but when...

Ok, I took the challenge and posted this with lynx. Painful. Interestingly, main site won't come up as "you have ad-blocking turned on". Uh, not really!

Simplicity and functionality for me! I almost clicked 'command line', but its nice to have a few terminals open at once. (Although screen works well if you get a good config file.) I just like having a nice snappy system, so Gentoo + XFCE4 work for me. Simplicity is also nice when using...

Delicious. Count me in! Edit: Oh God, my sig is showing...

I saw that burger and thought "fat, bloated, unnecessary". Not the type of thoughts I'd want associated with the newest version of Windows, but I'm not in marketing. ;)

My P4 2.8Ghz, 1Gb ram, ATI 9800pro aren't really delivering for gaming anymore. Well, I did have a rousing session of Oregon Trail last night! In for one!

This is a big problem over at the Witcher forum (a problem I had as well.) Apparently, its the TAGES copy protection. Although the TAGES website says: I found that when I uninstalled daemon tools, the game worked fine. I'll leave the copy-protection-hurting-normal-customers rant for...

It doesn't sound like you've got a disc read error, but if you're just going to get another PS2 anyway, it wouldn't hurt to go in and clean the lens. I was having trouble with some PS1 games, and cleaning the lens fixed that. Here's a link to a guide for fixing disc read errors, which tells...

Hmmm. SjConsultant, I suppose it could have eventually updated by itself if I hadn't manually done it. It did seem weird though, that I could not manually update until I did that verfication thing. Although Microsoft may allow non-validated comps to get updates, that doesn't mean they are...

I just had an odd problem on my new dell laptop. I have noticed that for the past several days, the automatic update shield pops up, and then immediately disappears. Nothing was downloaded or installed (I have it set so that updates will download, but not install till I say.) Well I noticed...

Yeah, I would play any game with Christian/religious themes, as long as its fun, and most definitely as long as it is not politically motivated. Go ahead, talk about God and the Bible, but don't sell your beliefs to me as absolute truth. Don't try to convert me to Christianity, but go ahead and...

First, from whatever integrated graphics were on my Acer PI 200Mhz to a real3d Starfighter 24MB. (Here is a link to a nice review!) http://www.gamedownloadsonline.com/hardware/starfighter.shtml) With my 1st build I went to an AIW 9800 pro. Yeah, needless to say, the jump was pretty damn...
