    Has anyone changed their mobo after upgrading to Win10?

    This sounds like my problem. I get the windows 10 pop-up on my current PC, but I'm building another completely new PC. On the current PC, I went from Vista Business (retail) to Win7 pro (upgrade). I want Win 10 pro on the new PC. I'm guessing I should just buy win10 pro at retail.

    War of the Roses looks amazing.

    Combat speed is one of the things you can change in M&B, there are 3 or 4 different levels. They may have slowed it down to make it easier for a demonstration.

    Exchange 2003, a few emails just disappeared?

    Thank you. Dumpster is on and that's the weird thing, there are other entries in the Recover Deleted Items. It makes me think it was deleted and then selectively purged right away to cover the tracks. Would manually purging the Recovered Deleted Items show up in a client or server log file?

    Exchange 2003, a few emails just disappeared?

    I have an SBS 2003 server with Symantec Mail Security and one of our users is missing some emails from last week. They do not show up in the user's Deleted Items folder (in outlook or outlook web access), nor in the Recover Deleted Items. Item/mailbox retention is set to the default of 30...

    Has BF3 changed the perception that gameplay trumps graphics?

    That was a good scene, possibly the first of its kind with the AI? I think NOLF beat this one, although 3 years later. Enemies would grow suspicious if they saw you or a dead body, actively search for you (with appropriate dialog and music changes), give up and go back to their patrol. They...

    Skyrim impressions

    in some locations (thieves guild, some others?) you can find someone practicing archery and swipe their arrows from the target. Steel was normal, once I had someone shooting orcish arrows.

    Just so I have it right, the wards are only effective while you cast them right? so basically it's like a shield, only useful when you actively block with it. Transmute can make some money. You can buy iron ore and convert it to silver, then gold and turn it into jewelry. It's a little...

    Gaming Snacks

    honey nut cheerios in a bowl (no milk), right in front of your face. Stick out your tongue and put your face in the bowl. No hands needed, the cheerios stick to your tongue :D

    Skyrim impressions

    i was hoping there would be an alteration spell to pick locks but don't see one. My mage is even more of a one-shot killer than my archer/assassin... Dual-casting lightning bolt is brutal and instant. Are there any negatives to wearing armor? I'm just using the destruction robes and a hood...

    Dell U2312HM

    Happy with it. Gaming is nice, and fitting two word documents side by side with search field, style pane, and an easy to read font size on both of them is excellent. The AG coating might be slightly heavier than my other monitors. I have two Dell 17" entry level LCDs here at work and the...

    Dell U2312HM

    my cyber monday deal arrived today, upgrade from a 19" 5:4 panel and it's wiiiide :) No buzzing from 10-100 brightness. I'm at 10 brightness, 60 contrast and "text" mode. Multiple word documents will be easier than on two separate monitors. Now we'll see if I need a new video card to drive...

    spells are learned through books/tomes, either found or purchased from the magic-type vendors. Joining the college of winterhold is probably a good start.

    Skyrim impressions

    I'm doing the thieves guild and DB quests. So far, I think I preferred the ones in Oblivion. I can't stand the annoying guy at the DB, hopefully I can stab him later? I found myself clicking through his lines just so I didn't have to hear his voice. The thieves guild seems more thuggish than...

    BF3 makes you kill a rat

    I finally clicked on this thread. All this time I assumed there was a mission where you had to kill a soldier that was ratting people out to the enemy. An actual rat? lol.
