Sign it. You did the right thing, and I think they're doing the right thing by not blacklisting you. The NDA is the same as everyone else signs and if you were in the hardware business you would ask people to sign the same sort of document. I think you would show yourself to be mature and...

Thanks all for the helpful replies and for confirming my fears that I need to upgrade the whole system. It's not just the $$, it's sorting through all the new motherboards/cpus! Way more complicated than it was back in the days of the celeron 300! :) thanks again

Guys Been out of gaming for a while, but would like to get back in w/ games like Mordor and Far Cry 4. I have an older Core2 Duo (E7300) with a GTX260 that can't play DX11. Is it worth a video card upgrade for this system or will I be held back by the CPU? If worthwhile, what card would you...

Thanks guys - I figure I am probably SOL given that the configuration was stable for 2 yrs then all of a sudden stopped working. Just thought I'd see if anyone had seen a similar issue.

Hey All After 2+ years of trouble free running, my wife's machine wouldn't even POST this AM. I built it for her, it's a low end ECS motherboard (gf7050) w/ an E7300 and 2 1GB sticks of OCZ PC2 6400. It has a Corsair CX430 PSU and uses the onboard video. I opened it up and started...

Hmmm. Might be tough to set that stationary device up. Maybe, instead, we could use a fixed velocity as our reference and define stationary relative to that velocity. I wonder what could provide a suitably constant velocity?

Any opinions on the NExus 10? I'm looking for a tablet for the same reasons as the OP, pretty light use. THe NExus 10 seems to ave good specs, the other one I've benn tinking of is the ASUS Tegra 3 unit (TF300?)

I did really enjoy the game, and in the event that they 1) deploy authenticators like the one I use for Blizzard games 2) enable character restoration I'm sure that I'll play it again. It was easily the most fun game I've picked up in years. I use strong passwords too, so one more bit...

I see your reasoning here, but I think it's relevant that the email validation tool was broken when I bought the game. And, not only did they not acknowledge that it was broken, they didn't send out a notice that they had fixed it. I tried 4 times to validate my email so that any changes would...

Well, I _was_ digging this game until today. Warning to anyone putting a lot of time into GW2 - if your account gets hacked you are basically SOL. They will restore your username/password, but your toons cannot be restored. I had spent 2+ weeks farming food to power level cooking. Every single...

Definitely not - sorry if the humor in my reply went missing. I generally look for deeper gameplay and avoid the simple shallow shooters. I can't say why I liked Borderlands so much but I really did. The nonstop weapon upgrades, running over monsters in the car, the soundtrack; it was a...

You say that like it's something bad.

Honestly, I enjoyed this game more than anything I've played in years. They could put a copy of Pong in the Borderlands 2 box and I'd still pay.

I have an HX520, a Force 3 SSD and Corsair RAM in my rig. High quality stuff, been running 2+ years w/ no issues

right on brother! Picked that game up 2 months ago on sale, played it every day 'til I reached the endgame. I was surprised how much fun it was, they really nailed it.
