    Not Enough of a Geek? Listen to the Linux Kernel!

    I'm surprised I could see it, being in Canada. I have no idea what Vevo is, but it came out of nowhere this year and is plastered all over YouTube. I hate it. Watched a Slayer music video the other and there were ads around it for Beyonce or something like that. Nice pairing there.

    The case of the disappearing RAM

    Oh, I believe it. I just thought I'd return that suggestion with one where I delete your forum account ;-) The sad thing is that in Linux, it kind of IS that easy to screw up your computer. There's a reason people recommend against using superuser mode.

    That's true, never thought of that one. Doesn't happen all too often when I game online though :-|

    Author Hates eBook Piracy but Pirates Music

    Well to be fair, I think I was about 1-years-old when I first began to seek out porn. ;) In all seriousness, I don't know what's more sick, the fact that this dude looks at child porn, or the fact that he does that while actually having kids of his own.

    AMD Details Upcoming Catalyst Driver Changes

    I agree, and it tends to be video drivers that are at most fault for problems beginners face :mad:

    Show off your desktop!

    Whoa, talk about a busy desktop! I have another... I've been using Xfce for the past couple of months, just taking a little break from KDE. With 4.5.4 out, which was supposed to stabilize a lot of the bugs that plagued 4.5 since it's launch, I decided to go back. Loving it as usual.

    In flight wifi FTW

    "To get a feel for 100 Gbps consider that the technology can transfer more than 100,000 MP3 files in 60 seconds or more than 15,000 HDTV channels streamed live." That's about all I needed to hear to be sold on it. You work at Alcatel-Lucent?

    AMD Details Upcoming Catalyst Driver Changes

    I'm of agreement here :D Now if AMD could just get its Linux drivers up to par with NVIDIA's, then we'd be set.

    TRENDnet TEW-637AP Wireless N Access Point

    Hi tirasong: I'm a noob when it comes to networking equipment, so I'll ping Greg and see if he can tackle your question. He's currently out of town though, so it might not be immediate. Just a heads-up :D

    NVIDIA GeForce GTX 580

    Thanks a ton for getting this test done man. I'm glad to see that the min FPS is on par with what I recorded with the reference GTX 480. I'm still not quite sure the reasoning behind the GTX 480 scoring higher than the GTX 580 in that department. I'll have to ping NVIDIA about it.

    AMD Launches Radeon HD 6900 Series GPUs

    AMD two months ago released its Radeon HD 6800 graphics cards, and in doing so gave gamers some interesting choices. Preempting that launch, NVIDIA dropped the prices on a couple of its own models, so all in all, it was a great time to purchase a card. Last month, NVIDIA followed-up with its GTX...

    Author Hates eBook Piracy but Pirates Music

    When the topic of piracy is raised, it's often music and movies that come to mind, along with applications and games. But, while those things do seem to be hit the worst, there are other materials just as often traded online, including eBooks and even real products (luxury goods, namely). You...

    The case of the disappearing RAM

    I just test external storage with this PC, nothing else. I'm in the PC on occasion, but it's impossible for me to dislodge the RAM, as nothing I ever swap out comes near it. To add to it, I'm using a RAM fan that makes it hard to even reach in and touch them. So I don't think that's the problem.

    The case of the disappearing RAM

    A couple of nights ago, a program I was using told me I had 8GB of RAM installed, when I in fact have 12GB, and I just ignored it because I thought it was a fault of the program. Well, I happened to see the 8GB figure again, and sure enough, I rebooted to find the BIOS detecting just 8GB of RAM...
