    The evolution of Castlevania and FF

    8 is VIII, my friend. You must have had a differently translated FF8 than I. The only part of that sad, POS of a story line that I recall was when Rinoa (who is supposed to be 21) goes all PMS and calls Squall a 'big meanie' and then runs off. And people are supposed to care. Oh wait, I...

    Amazing SNES collection on eBay

    I'm just having fun looking through the list of titles. Those were the good 'ol days. Now I play that stuff on my PSP.

    Hummer beats a Prius in environmentally friendly tests

    Data for the H3 is on line 381. It's actually leading the Upper Mid Range SUV segment, ahead of things like the B9 Tribeca, Mountaineer, Aviator, etc. And no, the author does not need to be more specific. You still seem to be tangled up in his presentation rather than the actual substance...

    Hummer beats a Prius in environmentally friendly tests

    You continue to argue over the HUMMER vs. Prius issue. I notice you didn't show the data for the H3, which adjusted from $1.95 to $2.07. If you look, you can see exactly what the author was quoting, the unadjusted D2D value for the H3 and the Prius: $1.95 vs. $3.25. H3 wins. Those are actual...

    Hummer beats a Prius in environmentally friendly tests

    This means nothing. Even if this guy is a GM employee, the core message of this article still has validity. Actually, all of those things you mention are specifically included in the total combined cost per mile as determined in the study the author referenced. I'd suggest skimming over that...

    Help setting up multiple sound cards in a single Windows box

    Thanks for the reply. I've managed to get it sorted out.

    Help setting up multiple sound cards in a single Windows box

    Ok, so I've got on board sound, and X-fi, and a USB audio device for a VoIP headset. The problem is, Windows seems to want to use the most recently installed solution by default, and the only way I know of to control what audio device actually outputs the audio is to enable/disable audio devices...

    Hummer beats a Prius in environmentally friendly tests

    Sure, the author didn't mention that the Hummer's battery probably comes from the same 'disastrous' nickel plant, but the total combined energy per mile comparison looks legitimate. If the article were suggesting that people go out and buy a HUMMER, I'd agree that it's propaganda. However, you...

    Razer Tarantula Gaming Keyboard

    I liked this review. I have a funky A4tech keyboard with it's own on board sound solution (requiring liberal use of the device manager) so I was relieved to see that Razer's jacks are simply pass-through. Sucks that not all the keys are illuminated though. I'll stick with the G15.

    Razer DeathAdder Gaming Mouse

    I'm running an ASUS A8R32-MVP Deluxe, and I have no options for independent boot control of mouse/keyboard. I have PS/2 control and USB1.1/2.0 control, but cannot selectively ignore a mouse/keyboard during boot.

    Razer DeathAdder Gaming Mouse

    My main gripe with the Copperhead was that it required that USB legacy support be turned off in the motherboard BIOS, otherwise the mouse wouldn't be detected without unplugging/replugging it. (Not even the latest firmware, which supposedly turned the button underneath into a 'reboot' button...

    OCZ 2GB Flex XLC PC2-9200

    First Matt: We disagree on the magnitude of the effect of the RAM blocks on flow/temperatures. Even in the event that Rob's CPU clock had to be slowed down, the review wasn't about his CPU, it was about the RAM. Generally when testing RAM, the CPU multiplier is lowered anyway, and in any case...

    OCZ 2GB Flex XLC PC2-9200

    Adding blocks to loops always hurts performance, yet people do it anyway. If all we cared about was flow rate, nothing would get cooled. Could none of your readers be willing to isolate the RAM on a separate loop - maybe with some HDDs or the NB or some FETs? You are arguing that it's...

    OCZ 2GB Flex XLC PC2-9200

    You overstate. In the PC Perspective review I linked above, they used a Koolance Exos cooling unit, and you can clearly see a CPU block in the picture they used, so you know that there is at least one other block in the loop. The temperature probe read 31C under load. What I am trying to...
