• 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.

    Funny Tech Support Call

    This was as good as a recent CNET Buzz Out Loud podcast where a caller said that DirecTV had terrible porn but Comcast's new Xfinity might. http://www.cnet.com/8301-19709_1-10456116-10.html?tag=mncol;title

    5 Ways Linux Shoots Itself in the Foot

    I used Linux (Kubuntu) for six months in a dual boot configuration. From what I can tell, Linux is usually meant for people who are so new to computers, that they don't mess around with much outside of email, word processing, and internet surfing, or it is meant for those who know CLI as well...

    Preview Last.fm, Facebook and Twitter on the Xbox 360

    What is the point in this service? There are services like Raptr and GamerDNA that can send messages to Twitter and Facebook about your gaming habits. Why is last.fm included, anyway?

    Sony Sued Over PS3 Firmware 3.0 Problems

    If I remember correctly, the updates to the PS3 software are not automatic. The system tells you an update is available and you must then accept the TOS and confirm that you want to update. Since I haven't had any issues with V3, I can't remember exactly, but I think the user had to download...

    PS3 Sales Jump After Price Cut, Slim Introduction

    In the U.S., the XBOX 360 has sold the most units. What are the worldwide sales figures for both the PS3 and XBOX 360? Which one, globally, has sold the most units?

    Apple: The New Microsoft

    I don't think the article was very negative, it stated what many people have known all along. Hopefully, the DOJ, FCC, and the SEC will watch them more closely to keep them from being a total monopoly in the mobile phone market. A few days ago, Leo Laporte made a comment on Buzz Out Loud that...

    Study Identifies Fastest Internet Speeds Among Nations, States

    The problem is not entirely in the billions spent on subsidies, but in how they are spent. Some companies horde the cash to please investors, others spend it in other ways that don't help consumers. In Japan, the rates are subsidized to an extent. The rates bigdogchris quoted are nice, if...

    Study Identifies Fastest Internet Speeds Among Nations, States

    I'm not at all surprised that the far-flung, sparsely populated areas have the slowest connections. Many cities are getting better connections since the densities make it economically viable. There's just not enough profit to be made providing internet services to cities that don't have at...

    Laptop Searches at the Border to Continue

    I should have been more clear. At the border, no one, American citizen or not, has any fourth amendment rights. This means you can be searched without cause. However, when it comes to encrypted data on a hard drive, does a target have to give up a password? An example would be the United...

    Laptop Searches at the Border to Continue

    That article is a bit old, I wonder if the laws have changed. When crossing international borders, your laptop should always be as empty as possible, just in case. I know of several businesses that tell employees to upload all relevant data to a company server and take a laptop that has only...

    Stanford University: Media Multitaskers Pay Mental Price

    Multitasking does have its place, driving is not one of them. I was at a stop light and almost got hit by an oncoming driver. She was multitasking, talking on a Bluetooth headset and eating a KFC dinner, with utensils, all while driving.

    U.S. Internet Speeds Causing Digital Divide?

    I live in WV. Specifically, a bedroom community between the states two largest cities. This is the only internet provider here that can go past 1.5 mbps and we pay about $39. The service is not very reliable and in order to get halfway decent rates we have to bundle everything. Around here...

    Xp Pro 64 bit

    Newegg does have XP 64-bit, but it's not for download. You may also be able to download it from MSDN. University students may also be able to get it from MSDNAA. I'm a little suprised that someone would be looking for the XP x64 edition, since it's has flaky drivers and compatibility issues...

    Xp Pro 64 bit

    The main difference between the Newegg and Microsoft copies of Vista is the speed of delivery. MS allows for a digital download whereas the Egg has to ship it to you. I would buy the OEM edition for less and wait for it to arrive.
