    New Danger Mouse CD Released As A Blank CD-R Due To Legal Fight With EMI

    I never thought of that... I was picturing a generic CD-R. That is a real issue though... gotta be careful and burn at low speeds!

    TV sets falling on kids...

    Saw this story over at Daily Tech about how there's an increasing number of kids who get hurt from TVs that fall right off the stand. I think this is more common with older TVs which are more front-heavy, but the risk of having it happen to any TV is totally real. Even an LCD can fall right off...

    Oh, I gotcha, and no... that area is Valley of Saints, near Rune Township.

    Building an Affordable "Skulltrail" System

    I gotta say, I'm glad I decided to just upgrade my own PC rather than take advantage of the Skulltrail I have kicking around here. The amount of effort to simply have a stable overclocked PC is a little ridiculous. You should never have to go through THIS much effort, especially for a 4GHz...

    ASUS W90 18.4" Notebook - A True Desktop Replacement

    I'm glad you guys somehow found this detailed ;-) I did love the product though... and I refuse to give it back right away (let's see how long I can get away with that!). The gaming performance is incredible, and despite it being bulky it offers way more than any other notebook I've used...

    Game Developers on Gold Selling

    What's L2 Hellion, and what exactly are you referencing? Oh, and since my last post, I actually did manage to find a few particular spots where bots aren't found, so I'm kind of impressed. The reason is simple... these areas are rather unsafe, especially solo, because of magic casters and the...

    Learning Someone Else's Lesson: Offsite Backups

    To be honest... there's absolutely no excuse for not having an off-site backup. Sure, it's on another server, but what happens in some unlikely event that a fire broke out? You'd have absolutely no means for restoration. It's a <strong>huge</strong> issue if you keep your backups in the same...

    HAF mod Water Cooling

    It sure is. Which is why I'd make mine pink. Maybe. I actually like that you DIDN'T go blue... it's far, far too common.

    New Danger Mouse CD Released As A Blank CD-R Due To Legal Fight With EMI

    Hah... I admire the idea, but I can't see how fans are going to like it. I'm not familiar with the legal dispute, but if there was absolutely no chance that the music would get released otherwise, then whatever I guess.

    Why You'll Never See a 200Mbps Internet Connection

    It of course depends on the server you're downloading from. Most download sites have per-user limits for how much bandwidth you hog, although I find that a bit odd. The faster you get the file, the sooner you're out of their queue and server. I've downloaded a few things off of some other...

    Common Reasons People Leave Linux

    No, those are found through the repository. You could see if this guide helps: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-to-install-nvidia-drivers-in-ubuntu-feisty-or-later-versions.html If not, go find the Add/Remove or use Synaptic, making sure to enable the "All Programs". I can't really tell you...

    ASUS W90 18.4" Notebook - A True Desktop Replacement

    Looking for a modest notebook? Turn around and walk away! ASUS has sent us their W90 "Republic of Gamers" notebook, which although they don't call it as such, is a perfect desktop replacement. It offers incredible gaming ability (with an X2 ATI card), a Quad-Core processor, a massive display...

    Common Reasons People Leave Linux

    Alright, I just had to add this, because once again, Linux saved the day. My goal? To copy my entire FLAC collection to the benchmarking computer, so I could convert the entire collection to MP3 for alternate storage (portable MP3 player). Simple enough, at least it should be. I first copied...

    It must be nice to have an uncommon last name. There must be a million Robert Williams on there. Added, by the way.

    Learning Someone Else's Lesson: Offsite Backups

    From our front-page news: Today's storage solutions are, for the most part, more stable than ever, but that doesn't mean backing up your data shouldn't be taken seriously. We've wrote about this in our news many times, and even wrote a few articles in the past on how to get it done quickly and...

    Why You'll Never See a 200Mbps Internet Connection

    From our front-page news: For those of us who use the Internet for a bit more than e-mail or browsing the web, the desire to have a fatter connection is usually hard to avoid - you know, unless you happen to have a personal OC/3 line. Virgin topped the charts last week though, when they...

    The Rig That Rob Built

    The problem there is that you can't use the 90° cables on all of the ports, because they'd block the way or plugging in another drive. Most flat cables like that aren't designed to go "backwards", so it'd be the back ports that'd get in the way. There's no way I could get around this, except to...

    Common Reasons People Leave Linux

    Whoa, what the heck? I didn't know you picked up an i7 man... grats! That's a freaking unbelievable overclock... I can't even get mine close to that, much less stable! As for Knoppix, that's not a great beginner distro. You wouldn't have had the issue with something like Fedora or OpenSUSE.

    What a freaking beast!

    Imagine a gaming notebook, where you could take any current game, crank the details to max and the resolution to 1920x1080... plus add a dash of 4x anti-aliasing, and have the game run smooth. That's exactly what this notebook delivers, although the exception is Crysis, for some reason. I...
