Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
That's not a reason why they suck. "Because" implies that you are about to give a rationale for your analysis, which is perfectly valid by the way. I have a fork of a particular Brand X. I know it sucks because I have it. The Brand Y forks are much better. You see? It doesn't make sense...
Call the airline and tell them what flight you're going on. They can tell you if your seat has a laptop power socket or not. In general, these sockets are found in business and first class, though.
For the real lowdown on what fans are quiet from real, experienced silent computing enthusiasts, visit SPCR. They know their stuff and their forums are top-notch.
Please don't get Tornadoes. In a few months you will only come to loathe loud, obnoxious, and/or high-pitched noises emanating from your PC such as the Tornadoes will produce. Trust me on this. As others have stated the cooling gain from these fans versus that of well made quieter fans is...
Oh god let's not make Sony the new Thermaltake now. Please...
And I for one think the design of the PS3 is freakin' awesome. I'll bet it emits a pleasant low-pitched hum as well. Mmmmmm......
A more practical solution to hide it is make a shroud of nice looking cloth to cover the whole thing. If done right it would give the room some great texture. You could even light it with track spotlights or something similar.
Ah, so that's what the 512 million meant on the video. I didn't get that before now. I said thousands because I wasn't sure of the exact number and I always try to ensure that my statements are never flat out wrong, merely stated in a way that is open to interpretation, so that even if I am...
This is a very intriguing video. Here's my reasoning on its legitimacy:
Real:
Awful lot of trouble to make a fake video
Very accurate Mario 64 castle model
Mario sequence at end is VERY convincing
Assumed large production budget, the quality and complexity of the video is hard to...
You can lock your computer with Windows key + L, as well as encrypt folders so that only people with your login credentials can access the files contained within. I don't know of any built-in password protection solution in Windows though.
And if you can't trust your friends.. hmmm...
Hey aironite congrats on your recent purchase! It's a fine system no matter what anyone says, and you can porudly say that your computer is free of a garish case window, unlike so many "DIY computers" on here.
Yes, but if they go with digital only DVI-D then those fancy adapters won't work because they use the analog output on the DVI-I port found on graphics cards. Remember they are adapters and not converters. DVI->VGA converters are much more complex and expensive. Besides, do HDTVs generally use...
