I've used it several times, but anyone can go to the Netflix site and browse the streaming catalog from the site. The last time I looked at it the selection IS pitifully small, and doesn't seem to be changing that quickly... They appear to have since added a few Star Trek seasons... but...

Optix is indeed correct, the original SandForce drives are still out there and are much more affordable now, so that's always an alternative option if the prices are too high. I believe all of the SSD manufacturers already transitionedtheri first-generation SandForce drives to 20-something nm...

Wow, that's pretty bad Synesthesia. It sounds like it might be the fan though, possibly?? That said I owned one of those PSUs and it was leaking stray voltages across the primary heatsink and some of the power cables, which could cause just about anything depending where they ended up. Quite a...

One of the GPUs I mentioned above was a GTX 285, it was also brand new. It made a high pitched whine under ANY load conditions, and was the most irritating sound I have yet to hear from a PC. Not only that but the high-pitched sound would change pitch higher/lower depending on which game or...

Some quick questions: 1) Is either the CPU or GPU overclocked? 2) What happens when you use Prime95 (or LinX, or OCCT, any program that maxes out all cores) 3) What happens when you use Furmark, or any other program that load tests the GPU? As of right now it sounds like a coil or...

I wouldn't say 64bit OS adoption is lagging. :) Only one in five people that get Seven use 32bit, that's pretty good, decisive figures in my opinion. Even more oddly, Windows Vista 64bit adoption is only within ~1% of 32bit users. A year after Vista came out the numbers were closer toward 3 out...

Well if a notebook cooler doesn't help and undervolting the GPU doesn't help enough, then I'm out of ideas. Except possibly moving your room into the fridge, it does have some perks... ;) I undervolt my laptop's processor all the time using that program, and it significantly dropped temps...

Yeah... even back in the day Activision was griped often regarding their DRM restrictions, but Star Trek Armada was still a good game. So annoying all the really good game studios went under, Interplay, Taldren, even Totally Games...

That's truly appalling... I'm pretty sure it costs them nowhere near $200,000+ for 40GB of data use... such an absurdly high markup could probably be challenged in court given the lack of grounds for it, but I'm not a legal expert and I don't recall the exact law in question. It isn't any wonder...

So, it only happens when overclocking, problem free at stock? If so I'd bet you anything it is the memory... some setting or timing from the profile in question isn't compatible. I'd suggest loading the profile, then loading the XMP profile you wish to use, and then go from there. The XMP...

GFreeman, I'm never going to get anything done at this rate!! I'm going to tell Rob it's all your fault! ;) I will be sue to listen to all of those though, as I do like quite a few of your earlier links! Will link a few other ambient / chill pieces I've run into as I find them again. Dream...

I'm not certain, but I'm going to presume that being an Indie dev on the Xbox would have higher licensing costs than say, being on Steam. Indie or not they still have to pay licensing or hosting costs to the distributer, depending on the platform in question. Part of being an Indie dev for...

Laptop fans aren't like computer case fans, where more speed always means more airflow. The chassis design is going impede airflow and so will the cooling fins, although the fan relative to the intake vent also has a huge impact. For example some intake vents don't leave enough space between...

After a few days of collecting tickets, I can saw quite a few of the requirements don't even require owning a game. And several of the games that were mentioned are free, or were games hosted in several past sales that ya probably already own... Got all four map packs for Defense Grid (was...

Exactly! It's only when long distances are concerned does quality really begin to matter. 5-10 foot cables used in 95% of home theater / HDTV setups just aren't long enough to matter. :)

Meow :D

Now I know why you complain your house is always so hot... :D

Answered my own question before I could ask it. :D I had read this was also true of Snow Leopard...? Either way, there is no reason for this. As Rob pointed out TRIM is a universal ATA standard command, it is not SSD specific in any way. Problems like this would pretty much nix my decision to...

Other Microsoft receivers should work fine with the mouse, it doesn't need to be the exact same model. Most of their products were designed with that in mind so users could buy separate model mice/keyboards yet combine them on the same computer/receiver, so the receivers are built to be...

Okay, I did forget I disabled some of the anonymous usage reporting in there, I had forgotten entirely about that mess. There are so many tasks set to autorun it's a wonder any single user at MS even knows what their own OS is doing. I wonder if my OS would enter lock down and give my piracy...
