3 Years later: It is finally time to put it to rest Its time has come. The left button is starting to fail. The internal left click switch has become unresponsive forcing me to put more pressure on it. But when I do so, it tends to get stuck for a little while, making the mouse respond as if I...

The problem is that we cannot abstract the command line power into a GUI. The interface would become mind-boggling complex. CLI has a real advantage, in which very complex processes can be typed down in one or a few sequence of commands. No existing GUI can do this so easily. You would be left...

Windows Server 2008 R2 will have extended support until 2020. Even if Microsoft doesn't back down from this complete nonsense on the next version, that's plenty of time for your company to start a migration process to Linux servers... or Linux server software running on a windows server (since...

Look, I'm going to say this once and only once and better the answer be positive, or you and I will have a problem stork. I want that wallpaper. Give it to me. Also, what's the gadget on the right? I've been using AddGadget for years but wouldn't mind changing. Oh... darn, right. Almost...

Definitely something else is wrong on his machine. http://www.guru3d.com/articles_pages/crysis_3_graphics_performance_review_benchmark,7.html At a resolution that is actually slightly higher than his, that card is supposed to be giving him 44 FPS. The standard edition of the 7970 should give...

Tomorrow or the day after the embargo on the Titan will end and we'll get to see a whole bunch of benchmark data. That will put any doubts to rest. My thought is that it is going to be generally disappointing. Particularly when comparing it to the 7970. (No wonder AMD reacted by saying they...

I'm not convinced by this card. I think it completely eclipses the 690 while asking too much money per FPS count when compared to the 400 USD 680. This is a card that managed to both make their top offering on the 600 line obsolete, while not adding anything that could make 680 users look...

Which leads us to the initial post on this thread: 2 year warranty? Hmm, no thanks. If this was a well known model with an on-sale price tag and a reduction in warranty to keep their loses(?) to a minimum, perhaps. But an entire new model? Too risky. 200 USD is still a lot of money. Today even...

Don't ever pay attention to the GPU logo on ANY game. Anyways, you can run run Crysis 3 just fine on max settings, depending on your screen resolution, on any decent card. The Titan is said to be only necessary for 5k resolutions (3 screens) and only to break the 30 FPS barrier. The game is...

I must protest! Preemptively.

One year ago I published on the forums my personal review of the Logitech Performance Mouse MX, in two parts: Logitech Performance Mouse MX, Part 1 Logitech Performance Mouse MX, Part 2 One year as passed and for those who know my feelings about input devices that's around 1/3 of the life I...

"In addition to two counts of felony murder, the accused are charged with conspiracy to commit arson, 12 counts of arson as a Class A felony and 33 counts of arson as a Class B felony. Mark Leonard and Shirley were also charged with conspiracy to commit arson as a Class B felony. They are being...

Yesterday, Valve chose to release a 450 MB upload to Half-Life 2: Episode 2. Let me make that clear; 450 MB! Four hundred and 50 megabytes. Why? really, why!? Half-Life 2, seriously? Because steam updates are silent and automatic; because you should never, ever, open Steam and just go do...

I'll just copy-paste what I said elsewhere: Putting aside the fact Elite is perhaps my top cult classic game, I have a few problems with this: (1) I can't count anymore the times Frontier and Braben have promised and didn't deliver an Elite game. (2) With a goal of 1,250,000 British Pounds...

Here's a thought: A zombies DLC on a Star Wars game. Long overdue.

Uh? What? Oh C'mon! RainMotorsports, give me my money back. There won't be a fight. I'm gonna bet on something else. Bah!

I'm not sure the impact spam has been taking on TG. I suspect very little. It's one of the reasons I find madmat's quest funny. The other being he's trying to kill an elephant with a duster. However, as I said I suspect the impact of spam on TG is relatively small and probably doesn't justify...

LOL, Rain. That made that day! :D
