    Wanted: Surrogate for Neanderthal Baby

    That's an outdated depiction. Okay, yes the only real way to know is to have an actual group of Neanderthals and test them, but currently they do feel that they were probably as smart as us. Now if their brain developed differently and thus they excelled in areas we don't, but were mediocre...

    Duke Nukem Forever Gone Gold

    So hell truly did freeze over then. I'm actually going to have to think on if I want a copy of this. I just have this gut feeling it's going to really suck..but I'm hoping I'm wrong.

    Sony Takes PSN Offline for Account Maintenance

    As a random comment, I know SOE or at least Everquest 2 was down Thursday May 19th for "maintance", but it was only for maybe 2 or 3 hours in the morning, and they did announce it in game. Mind you, ignoring the timing of all the hackers and so forth (SOE was down due to that from May 2nd to...

    Goofy USB Devices of the Day

    I used to do a lot of photography as a hobby, so the Canon SLR USB drive would be something I might like if it's not too overpriced. As an aside, I wonder if they are also promotional gifts used by sales reps. Otherwise someone from Canon goes to a show, sets up his stand to advert their new...

    Sony "Rebuilding" PlayStation Network After Attack

    Except that Everquest 2, a game for the PC has similar issues. The Everquest 2 website was down until early morning the 24th (I think, may have been the 23rd) and the official forums for the same game were down for a good day and a half or two days. Although it didn't hit every server, some of...

    Thermaltake Announces The Highly Anticipated Level 10 GT

    Not flaming those who liked the Level 10, but it really wasn't my taste. This update/new version isn't really either. Price isn't even the issue per-se, just never was one I liked personally. As for quality, they have came a long way with regards to quality and their more recent products...

    New intel ssd's?

    I got the idea that Crucial's C400 might ship next month from an article that's only 4 days old. http://www.anandtech.com/show/4086/microns-realssd-c400-uses-25nm-nand-at-161gb-offers-415mbs-reads Near the end of the article. Anyway, I have one SSD now but I'm waiting for it and/or SF...

    Kicked for Being Deaf

    Uh-huh. Even if he knew they used Vent, if they never had a deaf member before him in the guild, the issue of "what to do if someone joins or becomes handicapped" may have never come up. That, and how DO you know if they have exhibited selfish behavior before? Then again, to be blunt YOU...

    WikiLeaks Supporters Downloading Botnet Toolkit

    I've been lurking on /b/ on 4chan a tiny bit, not enough to say I really know what it's like day to day on that site, but based on posts from the day they yanked down Visa, Mastercard & Paypal, they tried for amazon.com but couldn't get enough people rallied, and I didn't see a mention of trying...

    WikiLeaks Supporters Downloading Botnet Toolkit

    Can't edit, so I'll say "real damage" as in pull down a webpage that doesn't do long term damage and can be restored quickly, but that pisses off the wrong people. Or at least pisses off the wrong people directly.

    WikiLeaks Supporters Downloading Botnet Toolkit

    Maybe this is pure wishful thinking here, but I don't think they are organized enough to do much more then be obnoxious. I think they can do crap like take down the front page of something like Visa or PayPay again, but not much else, even with more of them downloading rootkits. I'm hoping...

    How do B&M stores get away with these shenanigans?

    For what it's worth, Newegg has two PCI Radeon 7000's for sale as well. Although for $39 and $34 before shipping though. The card is, as Neonardo says for people using an old PC. But figure this, some PC for grandma to read her e-mail and play solitare or Farmville on doesn't really need...

    GeForce GTX 580 $599 at Launch?

    And AMD doesn't either. Both are corporations that exist to make their owners/stockholders money. So what's your point?

    GTX 480 vs GTX 580

    I'd assume the same thing, you'd go up 20 percent from 2x GTX 480 to 2x GTX 580's, all else being equal. Anyway, IMO if you already have 2x GTX 480, unless you just HAVE to have the "latest and greatest", I'd skip the 580's. The 580's (and 6970's) will be great for those who skipped the...

    NVIDIA Enters Retail with Direct Sales at Best Buy @ [H]

    Well, someone else may have already mentioned this. And I'm obvioulsy not Kyle Bennett so all I can do is assume. But gee, could it be he ONLY bought them for the article? I'd have to read it again but I think he's going to do a follow up with regards to the "Platinum service", and Nvidia is...
