I loved Portal 2! Already beat it in single player and co-op so I wouldn't have minded a bit more fun, but I enjoyed it. :D I was concerned about Portal 2 living up to the high expectations set by its predecessor, but Valve pulled it off. As ya mention them specifically, I'll admit the old...

You mean this model, right? Logitech makes one model with small, laptop-thin keys and backlighting http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16823126194 Seemed nice enough (best buy has these on demo to play with) Don't have any others that come immediately to mind though, Microsoft...

Yep, I totally misunderstood what ya meant in that post. That can't be disabled from the properties area.

They do have BillMeLater, and you get a discount for using that... just make sure to pay it off before you get sacked with the interest charge. For the next time your in such a predicament. :D

I got to try the Rampage II Extreme, loved that board until a PSU decided to melt the EPS12V connector off it. But yes, while it was great and I loved the additional goodies like the multi-meter testing points, it's hard to justify $100 more just for that. Still loved the board though... I...

Been awhile since I saw good Bstock deals like that! And there's not even a new generation of cards about to arrive either. Looks like EVGA folders no longer get a 10% discount code on Bstock items, but EVGA folders do get EVGA Bucks for folding now so that is a very nice deal all told... :)

I just use an old Sansa Express 2GB. Has a microSD slot which I threw a dirt cheap 8GB card into, usually is enough for my needs. If I'm extended traveling I'll change up the music from my laptop or log in to my NAS remotely and grab music files that way, so space isn't an issue with it. 2GB...

They always have, even in the betas! Just had to right-click an empty portion of the taskbar and de-select two options. It is the first thing I always do for a new Win 7 install... Not sure when this was changed (perhaps with SP1), but now it's in an easier to find spot. Just go to the...

I can't make up my mind if the name sounds more like the faucet company or cooler.... Interesting that they use a full thickness radiator, is a promising sign.

I'm sure it can be overclocked, the question would be are ya willing to risk errors in whatever computational load running on it though? I'm sure you're familiar with unstable graphics cards from overclocking, but it's really the small errors that should be considered. If there's a small error...

That's insane really... usually combat is the quickest way to level up something in any game. I've never played WoW or MMO like it but I'm sure it was a much slower, arduous process going that route, that's just insane. I bet they are the only one that's done it too.

While the new subscription system is a smart move I can get behind for all those reasons and more, I still feel this is just a new way for Adobe to push a more frequent release schedule to drive up sales. There was a fair amount of backlash to them releasing CS4 just a single year after they...

Because they are the ones that build the actual product, and to build it and test it they have to know the details... it's been the bane of the computer tech industry for many years... :D

The cards can do double precision, yes. Desktop cards have double-precision, but the 580 is software-limited to 1/4th of the GPU core's actual capability... this is to protect the Tesla model line. It also depends on the program and/or software you choose to implement GPU processing with...

Wow, actual weather and stats/achievements in a week? That's pretty fast considering they JUST released 1.4... As far as the beta status is concerned, Minecraft is definitely beta. There are a huge number of issues with multiplayer remaining, and plenty of minor loose ends to be tied for...

I have actually been told that is exactly what happens, oddly enough. I do not remember the specifics nor where I picked up that info. It was recommended to boot into safe mode before using a driver cleaner for graphics drivers... I never did that myself as I didn't think it was needed, but now...

The vacuum Roomba's are actually quite useful... if you have a rather empty place free of clutter at least. A buddy of mine has an early model, it actually "dusts" the carpet along with picking up some dirt and hair... the net result being little maintenance and dropping the dust buildup in his...

I gave the latest Ubunutu 10.10 a try. It didn't play media "out of the box", but it efficiently put up a package manager with the needed packages for download. It also told me what programs were needed for file types it couldn't natively open. That's a far cry from when I last tried to do...

That's exactly why some watercoolers swear by compression fittings. They may be more expensive and cumbersome due to the larger size, but of the few I've used none ever leaked. Admittedly I never changed over to using strictly compression fittings myself, but they are supposed to be the most...

I like that idea. Rob can even cover the drinks! :D
