    LG SN22NS50 ODD... problem!

    In fairness it's only that one model that seems to have the problem... but the "bluebirds" thing does come from the software disk. It's in a folder called "fw_update" which is very enticing. I don't know if this affects other models or not... The story, unconfirmed but from multiple...

    LG SN22NS50 ODD... problem!

    LG GH22NS50 ODD... problem! Every once in a while computer stupidities come up around here and we usually have a pretty good chuckle over them... But this one isn't so funny. On the disk that is bundled with the LG GH22NS50 DVD burner ("Multi Drive Installer Disk for Windows". VER3.0) you...

    Benchmarking the Latest Hardware is Fun, Unless...

    Sounds like a reasonable precaution, Rob... When you start getting voltage and temperature problems it's a pretty sure sign the board is on it's last legs.

    Can you drink milk?

    Publish or perish. ... the underlying science behind many a well known theory. Well, now you know one ... It's odd but cheese doesn't bother me, butter doesn't bother me... but a gulp of bottled milk will double me right over with stomach pain.

    Benchmarking the Latest Hardware is Fun, Unless...

    You're setting one step above... you should be going below... To get 1.375 you would set the board to 1.31... The only way to explain the heat problem is that the actual voltage you are getting is higher than that you are setting... 1.31 gets you 1.375, not the other way around. If you...

    Basically if you want 1.49 set it to 1.325 ... This I have confirmed with voltemeters in the past. A lot of motherboards do this to some minor degree, to compensate for trace resistance, but Gigabyte gets rather carried away with it. Set your voltage one step lower than the one you...

    FWIW... this is something of a known issue with Gigabyte boards. I always set the voltage 1 step below spec. when installing Gigabyte.

    How Long Should Developers Support their Software?

    Ummmm... the answer to this should be fairly simple... Software isn't about parts that may go out of manufacture or materials that may become unavailable. It is sourced 100% in house and fully under the control of it's developers. There's nothing there that won't last forever... sofware...

    P2P Users Spend More than Non-P2P Users?

    Yeah and an hour later they'll be in Madagascar. Believe me, no matter what they do they'll never stop peer to peer file sharing.... *Especially* torrents, which need no central server to work. Ummmm ... No comment. :D

    P2P Users Spend More than Non-P2P Users?

    I'm not familiar with Hulu. So can't comment on that. But I think corporate sponsors are also going to have to rethink their advertising models as well. The idea of ad-inserted broadcasting is taking as bad a beating as purchased media... I'm betting that scheduled television's days are...

    P2P Users Spend More than Non-P2P Users?

    With respect, I must disagree... Every voice silenced is a vote not cast. Your thoughts do make a difference and if enough people agree with you, we can jointly make a Big difference. Every new social direction starts with one voice, one idea... Don't mistake resistance for deafness, my...

    P2P Users Spend More than Non-P2P Users?

    I don't know so much about the election issues but it is true that copyright law, in more or less it's present form, originated before the invention of the phonograph record. It started as a reaction to the printing press which was,even then, considered a threat to an writer's credits, rather...

    P2P Users Spend More than Non-P2P Users?

    It's true... a lot of the work I do is driven by P2P downloading. It's common for my friends (less so for myself) to download an album or movie then end up buying media to burn it to or as you point out they end up buying better speakers, displays etc, to take advantage of what they've got...

    ASRock, Asus and Nvidia.

    Me too! Thing is it wasn't in the 1.0 Bios that was supplied in the machine. It was added by the update, half way down a menu, defaults to IDE and I completely missed it... But it's all good now... CPU usage is way down, the drive light flickers were it used to be full on, HD video plays...

    ASRock, Asus and Nvidia.

    Sorry I didn't address this point earlier Rob... but I did find the bottleneck and, well :o it was my own fault. When I updated the bios to fix the known issue with the fan speed, I went through everything very quickly and missed a crucial setting... I actually had the hard disk running in IDE...

    Wasn't that called "Claymation" or something like that? Basically the movies were still shots with small changes between images, so that when played at movie speed it looked like moving statues?
