Yeah so here's a story where some punk kid from the UK said something arguably minor to an Olympian, and was arrested. "You let your dad down i hope you know that." http://www.guardian.co.uk/sport/2012/jul/31/teenager-arrested-tweets-tom-daley The kid's a douche, I think we'll all agree...

LOL! Hmm, 28 dBA isn't too bad at all, if it works well. If you do happen to pick one of these up I'd love to see before / after temperatures. Given there's no airflow at -all- beforehand, it wouldn't surprise me if temps dropped at least 20C.

Hmm, I don't recall that part at all (unless it wasn't in the Blu-ray). Been meaning to watch it again though so this might be a good excuse.

I might have to look into that. I'm not concerned too much with permissions, I admit, but it'd still be nice to block certain apps when they request truly ridiculous things. Firmware updates don't go through Google. And I agree, they might be able to get it via the browser, but again, what...

The killing and bloodshed never ends, and why should it!? An incursion of ghastly Orcs, Trolls, Ogres, Kobalds and just about every other kind of hideous incarnation are breaking through the rifts, and it's your job to stop them... again. This time with help! Read on as we review Orcs Must Die...

Ahh, that's right, I do remember reading about that once.

I tend to agree with this. For a mouse, I like simple, with just enough buttons to get by. My Sensei pretty much defines what I consider to be perfect. Two buttons on each site, great comfort level and its software is pretty cool also.

So here's a strange question. Is it possible to run an entire Windows install through a proxy server, so that anything requiring an Internet connection would run through it? The reason I ask for such a ridiculous thing is that Saints Row: The Third has a known (to fans) issue of lag when...

Hmm, that's an interesting idea. I actually thought of hooking something like a Delta fan to the end and controlling it with a fan controller, but that solution is much more elegant. The 17 CFM rating kind of seems small, but I guess this is a concentrated area, so it should be quite effective -...

Tick / Tock is a good analogy here. I have a billion questions about Steam on Linux but I am just going to have to wait and see. Michael at Phoronix thinks that the client should run on most distros without much of a problem, but I can't quite fathom how that'll be the case.

I'm still in awe of the fact that the software could brick your mouse... silly. As for the mouse itself, it's unfortunate that it's not so ideal to use, but I can understand it. I admit I almost wrote off this mouse the second I saw it because I thought it looked foolish, but I admit now it does...

Around here, the gas point is moot since almost all of the bins are located in the same parking lot of your supermarket or some other popular store. It's unfortunate that option is not more widely available. Maybe our government just happens to make a mint off our recycling, I'm not sure.

Unless the telco is telling Google your phone number, I don't see how the company would wind up with it. It's when you log into a Google account on the phone that your phone number is passed along. And let's be real: what good is a phone number anyway? It's not like they are going to sell it...

I -think- that cooler would work no problem, but I can't say for sure; the schematics would need to be looked at. I can see water being easier to install since it's just a block, and little heatsinks can be used for the GDDR, but a full cooler like that might be iffy. It does seem to be raised...

It's a sad fact that this kind of thing will happen, and we'll not be the wiser. It's the reason that when I see someone make a rather outlandish comment, I do research to come to my own conclusion. It makes no sense to read something and settle it at just that, especially when it comes to...

When we took a look at Corsair's M60 "FPS" gaming mouse a couple of months ago, we found that while the hardware was excellent, the software was less so. For the M90, we decided to wait for the relevant software updates, which has since happened. So, after a delay, it's finally time to take a...

I can't say for certain, but if you never connect your Google account to your phone (which is possible), it's unlikely that the company knows your phone number.

Welcome to the forums, Dangerously! I agree with you completely, which is why I'm half-excited about Windows 8 and half-annoyed. I like the improvements made behind Metro, like the UI enhancements and overall usability improvements, but if I have to deal with Metro at -all- on the desktop, I'll...

It might be that madmat's city doesn't have recycling bins littered all over the city like they have here. But you're right... takes little time and is pretty convenient when that's an option. The worst part about recycling is just the amount of space in your house it can hog. Shrink ray... do...

I'm at a loss as to why NVIDIA doesn't bundle a more efficient cooler than it does on these things, if many people are willing to go to extra lengths just to keep it cooler. I guess they expect all of these to be used in jet-engine server rooms. Welcome to the forums, atypicalguy! Be sure not...
