    Microsoft Moves to Block TiVo Imports

    Looks like Microsoft was working on a Media Center (all the patents are Guide and Content delivery specific) back in the mid 1990's. All the patents were filed in 1995 or 1997 (see links in original Winrumours article: Link ). As Tivo did not come out until 1999, Microsoft may have a...

    USPTO Grants Facebook Trademark on “Face”

    I thought copyrights of common words was not acceptable (i.e. MS trying to patent the word "Windows"). Too bad, it'll ruin comedy moments like this: In the Face

    Intel Beefs Up North America Channel

    While this is good for system builders, it seems odd considering Intel just dropped 8 billion buying McAffee. Is Intel admitting Symantec makes a better product? Intel doesn't list McAffee on it list of Intel® ESAA IxV Members: http://www.esaa-members.com/index.php/pages/members_iv

    Should the Command Line Be Deep-Sixed?

    In the Linux/Unix world, absolutely not. The command line is essential for administration and other task requiring "elevated" privileges. Unlike a GUI, it is not hampered by some developers form design. Even Windows is moving back to CLI administration with Powershell. I should point out...

    US Hunters Shoot Down Google Cables?

    I know they used it extensively in the 1960's and 70's when copper prices jumped. As a result, owners of homes built in that era usually have higher insurance premiums due to the risks that Aluminum wiring presents. More: http://www.hsb.com/thelocomotive/Story/FullStory/ST-FS-ALUM.html

    Windows XP: Is It Time to Move On?

    QFT Add to XP all the outdated applications that a number of Corporations are still using such as Office 97 (still...), Lotus (Suite, Notes, 1-2-3, etc..) and an archaic compilation of 16 Bit applications (not DOS but Win3x). Because of these a number of Corporations have "legacy baggage"...

    Internet Traffic Begins to Bypass the U.S.

    This quote from the article sums it up: "Since passage of the Patriot Act, many companies based outside of the United States have been reluctant to store client information in the U.S. ..." The Patriot Act (more than Echelon) caused serious panic here is Canada. Average people were...

    Gigibyte k8ns 939 ultra mem questions

    Ok, I said I didn't have money (and I don't) but I had another OCZ memory kit. I thought it was bad, but it turns out it needed more volts to run stable. OCZ support helped me diagnose the problem, so I wouldn't get stuck in RMA hell. So, I now have 2 gb of memory (4x512mb). I loaded both...

    Gigibyte k8ns 939 ultra mem questions

    Sorry, no money for more Ram right now... I'm saving my cash for the "next gen" platform. It will probably be AMD's socket M solution, unless Intel puts something glorious on the market. Socket M will require the full upgrade for me (Ram [DDR2], CPU, board, vid [PCI-E], etc...) so I need...

    AMD 939 Mobo X2 compatibility

    All 939 boards are capable of X2 support. The only limitation is bios development. Some manufacturers are currently offering Beta bios for X2 support. My first generation 939 (see sig) works great with an X2. Gigabytes X2 Bios support emerged back in July, well in advance of processor...

    Stuttering in benchmarks

    Look at Roliath's post. A lot of nForce3 users had/have issues with 6800 series cards. Try the fast-writes suggestion - and/or - try the new forceware 5.11 drivers. I've seen posts on some forums where users have indicated that these drivers have cleared up the problems. Of course, this...

    Stuttering in benchmarks

    Quick questions: 1) What OS are you using? 2) What service packs have you installed? 3) Are you using the X2 driver? 4) If running XP, did you get the dual-core hotfix? 5) If you got the hotfix, did you enable it with the registry key? 6) Are you using "Cool and Quiet" <== if...
