    Trans-Arctic Internet Cable Project Made Possible by Climate Change

    Here's the thing i find funny about either situation. Lets say for argument we do everything we need to do to fix the situation with climate change within 5 years. The result would be millions/billions of people dying. How do you say that would happen? Currently there's not even enough food to...

    Microsoft Alienates Troops with the Always-Online Xbox

    oh and I also wanted to add that microsoft is embracing digital distribution, which I'm happy about(have $5-10k worth of games on steam) but they should have modeled themselves after steam. I have no problem with my steam library in deployed locations because it has its offline mode. All i have...

    Microsoft Alienates Troops with the Always-Online Xbox

    When I lived in the dorms my internet wasn't too bad. We just went through the local ISP's and they hooked us up like any other place, but this 24hr check in will be detrimental in deployed areas. In deployed areas 90% of my web access was through the military internet with all its filters...

    Need suggestion for 30" monitor mount

    Like the title says, i need a monitor mount for a 30" monitor. I currently have 4 30" monitors and I want to mount the 4th 1 directly above 1 of the others. Most of the ones designed the way I need only fit up to a 27".

    Meatboy Dev: Apathy and refunds are more dangerous than Piracy

    They may not be able to calculate ROI with ads but theres a difference between ads and DRM. One is getting the word out about your product, DRM is about controlling how your product is used.

    Amazon Suspends The Sale Of SimCity

    their download server havn't given me or any of my friends issues. Its the authentication/game servers themselves that are unstable.What kills me is they did a "stress test" and are having this magnitude of issues. Its a pretty awsome game when you can actually get in

    Student’s Refusal to Wear RFID Expulsion Postponed

    I honestly don't see a problem with the RFID tags. People are treating it like GPS, they are short ranged and there has to be a scanner there to "track" them. They should be more afraid of their smartphone, they are tracked within a few meters at all times by their wireless...

    What would cause minecraft to be retarded slow on this machine?

    In my experience minecraft requires alot of memory so thats where the hangup probably is. Try upgrading your java version and lowing the draw distance and it should run better.

    HDBaseT extenders

    I'm was tyring to go with the one above so I could use standard CAT5/6 and could go pretty much as far as I wanted cable wise(not to mention cable thickness). With the one I linked above it could allow me to save some cash if it can support a 2560x1600. Otherwise im stuck using this...

    HDBaseT extenders

    Has anyone here tried using the Atlona AT-HD4-V110SR to extend one of their displays? Essentially I'm trying to centralize all of my computers inside my server rack 60-100ft away and wish to utilize something like this so it feels like its still in my one room minus the noise/heat. I know this...

    Windows 7 Keeps Growing in Popularity Over XP

    I've tried windows 8 out and at first I didn't like it but after I saw how everything worked its starting to grow on me. Everything you can do on windows 7 can be done on windows 8 roughly the same way, espeically in desktop mode. I had to relearn how to do some power user/admin tasks but it...

    EU Sends Microsoft Formal Antitrust Complaint

    I'm so sick and tired of these ass clowns making these claims. Every OS maker puts their own perfered web browser above any other. If it was such an issue they should be going after apple too. Also if a user doesn't know how to get another browser, they are too incompetant to care what browser...

    Tribes Ascend now live

    Your going at it all wrong. The game isnt ment to play like a realistic/modern shooter. It ment to be a fun/arcady type shooter and a update to the tribes series. There may have been "1000" games like this in the past but theres almost no games like this now. Its like a fresh breathe of air in a...

    PC Piracy at 95% according to UBISOFT.

    that 95% is probably coming from people cracking their own legit copy of the game so they could still play the game if their internet was down.
