I'm not defending the government, and I agree some Congresspeople have directly benefited from the financial markets they encouraged through legislation (Or the lack thereof). I used to agree with that line of thought, but now I've come to the conclusion its just an oversimplification to...

Speaking of which... had stumbled in to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IU_reTt7Hj4 at some website, I lost the exact url though.

Gah. Right when I've managed to trade an older system for enough to buy a Core i7 920 you have to remind me of those new CPUs! I'm sure the 950 and 975 will be the new D0 stepping... bigger question is will the 940 be phased out (Leaving a big gap) or will it drop and stick around? It would be...

Assuming the regulations ever live long enough to go into effect, I'm sure the media types would have their suits interpreting the language with a fine-toothed comb. To me this just seems to state advertisers must also include typical results in their commercials... not just pick and choose...

Yes, he has. But that inspiration is based on a false premise he used Subway to do so. Subway has gone so far as to claim all he did was eat their regularly and he magically lost his weight. The question boils down to whether or not falsely misleading people, even for their benefit, is right...

Haha, dated hairstyles not required! :D

Since you've linked to his article... if you wish to do tests I highly suggest doing random read and random write tests. HD Tune and HD Tach both perform sequential tests, therefore the results you would get from them aren't going to be actual performance numbers. Especially once the drive has...

Well, at least AMD also has the ability to hold Intel over the proverbial fire. Without the x86-64 cross license, Intel could sell Atom but not much else. I'm glad to see the licenses held a proviso for immediate mediation, which means this stands the best chance of being ironed out quickly...

I wasn't entirely sure, the exe was renamed (And not the hl2.exe, that would have been obvious), although I have long wondered if the instability in the game might be due to the source engine being pushed to its limits. According to the wiki at least, it is the source engine.

I had to reactivate the OS the standard way over the internet. The beta has multiple activations allowed, so I wasn't particularly concerned... but a retail or( worse) OEM OS might have been a different story. Once the OS was no longer locked down I was using the Error Reporting tool to...

You might be amazed just how well those can be hidden, especially if using anyone's other than Apple's white ones. Just visit a public high school where they are banned in the classroom... ;)

Heh... the Dandelion one is rather neat, thinking outside the box. To bad ya can't tweak the settings for the Imagination one... slow down or lock effects, lines or color, maybe throw in some random stuff as an option.

It's not any excuse, but on the flipside many European countries don't get nearly anything as good, and their bandwidth caps are utterly absurd. I think it was 5GB caps in Belgium for ~60 euro lines? JMke at Madshrimps posted the info but I don't recall specific numbers now. The bad news is...

I did not see the search service in the Task Manager, but I did not think to use the services.msc to manually halt it. Next time it occurs I'll try that, thanks! All the processes are deadlocked, and not sapping CPU time or doing anything. They just sat there eating a bit over 4MB each...

Here's the label on your PSU: http://www.corsair.com/products/hx/default.aspx Most PSUs have multiple 12V rails, you are interested in the total available power from all 12V rails. Corsair provides this for you conveniently, 18A each (54 total) and 480 combined watts is available. As this is...

Yeah, its a rip all right. Cheapest for us was to use a family plan, with the lowest tier of minutes. Because they roll over after the first month there's no risk of running out should anything arise... but still I now think it's pricey at around $70 a month.

I am not sure if L4D uses the hl2 engine or not, but the problem was specific to TF2, and not Steam itself. It was also specific to 64bit OS's and according to Valve's patchlog was due to hl2.exe hanging upon exiting out of TF2, thereby causing the OS to generate the HL2.exe has stopped...

Hm, so it isn't an actual fake card but rather just the codes for them. If the code generator was cracked, I'd wonder how and I'd wonder what is next on the list, since everyone revolves around ecodes these days... you'd think those base keys would be some of the most complex keys to exist. I...

Eh, what a gimmick. They should list one of the selling points as being able to hide it inside a real pack of chewing gum as I bet some students are going to be doing... ;) Probably the biggest selling point looks to be how easy it would be to hide one of these things... except now students...

TF2 launched 17 months ago.... this morning Valve finally fixed this hl2.exe crashing bug for 64bit users, amongst other things :eek:
