LMAO! You douche.

I have issues with drop-outs also, but it's not wireless related; rather, it's router related. I have a decent NETGEAR in this room that connects all of the PCs and other things in here, but that router connects to some cheap ISP DSL router that's not too easy to replace. At least once a day...

Err... I made a boo boo. Edited the original post, because I accidentally copy/pasted 2011's list, not 2012's. Here's the Forbes article: http://www.forbes.com/sites/kurtbadenhausen/2012/07/16/manchester-united-tops-the-worlds-50-most-valuable-sports-teams/ As for F1, it seems like that...

ESPN has once again made a list of the top ten most valuable sports teams, and no surprise, Manchester United tops the list. You might recall that I posted the same list back in 2009, so let's see how things have changed (note that one is in USD, the other in British pounds)...

Tell me about it. I guess I haven't been quite as active as I should be, but damn, this place be dead (atm). What are the problems with Ad-aware and SpyBot? I don't use them, but generally when I build someone a new rig, I'll toss on a copy of Ad-Aware, though recently I've been installing...

EVGA's contests are insane, truly. I don't remember ever seeing a tech contest from ANY company that has had such a line-up of prizes before.

I am fine with requiring Facebook, to be honest. For some sites, it's the best possible method of getting your updates out there, and because 99% of people use it, it just makes things easier. On the other side of the coin, if you require Facebook, it -greatly- decreases the number of...

As the title asks, does anyone here use any software that's used to "optimize" your Windows PC? CCleaner is one example, though there are other solutions that take things a bit further, such as Iolo's System Mechanic and Uniblue's PowerSuite and I'm sure a bunch of others. Uniblue sent us a...

DiRT Showdown. The game asked me to sign up for Racenet in order to get a free $20,000 in-game, and since I'm a sucker for that kind of thing, I went ahead and tried. Problem is, I get an error telling me that Deathspawner is not available as a nickname. Thinking that "Death" might be the...

No sir, we've never had issues like that before. On the topic of passwords though, ever since I discovered Lastpass, I can't look back. I have about 30 or so logins stored in there, and all of the passwords are unique. If a site gets hacked, I'm none-too-concerned if the password is...

I am not sure who here might have belonged to this forum, but given that there were over 1m users, there's definitely a chance. From Slashdot: "Phandroid's AndroidForums.com has been hacked. The database that powers the site was compromised and more than one million user account details were...

If your drive is USB 3.0, then the cable isn't proprietary... it's just a standard USB 3.0 cable: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Connector_USB_3_IMGP6033_wp_.jpg Without hauling out a ruler, I'd have to guess the cable with this drive is 10-12". As for replacement cables, in a quick...

Got this e-mail earlier: Dear NVIDIA Forum User, We suspended operations of the NVIDIA Forums last week in response to suspicious activity and immediately began an investigation. We apologize that our continuing investigation is taking this long. Know that we are working around the clock...

Need big storage on the go, but refuse to lug about a full-sized hard drive enclosure? If the term "2TB" sound good to you, then Western Digital's got you covered. The company recently updated its My Passport line to include the beefiest storage possible in such a small enclosure, so join us as...

With less than 7 days left before we give away an RevoDrive Hybrid 1TB PCIEx SSD by OCZ, an Glacier 900W 80 Plus Gold Power Supply by In-Win and a Silver Arrow SB-E CPU Cooler by Thermalright the only real question is whether or not you have already joined our Global contest...

Hmm, I just noticed something. I figured that these were called "WD Red" and not "WD Caviar Red" because they're not desktop drives, but on WD's website, -no- drives are listed as Caviar anymore, or Momentus on the desktop side. I wonder when that change-over happened?

I agree on the Blue drives. For NAS use, I don't think the removal of TLER is going to hurt, even if just one drive is being used (it's still going through a RAID, in a JBOD configuration, I guess). With this announcement I noticed that drive prices have come down quite a bit, but we're still...

No circuitry has been removed from the drives, rather it's just that the firmware has been tweaked to reduce this time-out issue with NAS boxes. These are not drives I'd use on the desktop, unless you're connecting it to a RAID controller. From what I understand, there are ways to mimic the...

I see, and for the most part I agree. If the game runs through ScummVM, there are ways to increase the resolution and smooth out the graphics. The sequel was great, but the fact that it was only for the Xbox blows. It's a series that's just dying for a sequel. Seriously. But I know if we...
