    Overclocking graphics card

    I followed those instructions and things seem to be going okay so far. I do Bitcoin mining and distributed computing so I will have to watch for a bit to make sure it's working out okay. I went from 800Mhz core to 900 so far, and 1125 memory to 1275 :)

    Overclocking graphics card

    I was wondering if someone could point me towards a guide or something that can show me how to do this properly/safely. I have a Sapphire HD7750, and have gotten as far as downloading TriXX which is the overclocking utility. I do not know how to test out the settings to make sure they're...

    Counterfeit Electronic Parts Multiplying At Record Rate

    Well it depends what it is. If I order a crappy keyboard or something not particularly volatile, that's one thing. But I certainly would not buy a knock off smartphone or anything else I expect some level of quality out of.

    iPhone Case Stops .50 Cal Bullet!

    This is ridiculous. That thing is massive and impractical. You would need a bag to carry it around in if you actually had one of those. Not that I can think of many people who need an iPhone case to stop a .50 cal bullet. That's called priorities. It's amusing that it succeeded in stopping the...

    Firefox Is Back on Top of Chrome

    I hate IE because it's annoying and I hate the UI of it. I also hate the settings, and currently use Chrome. I have nothing against Firefox, I just like the feel of Chrome better. The searching in the address bar thing is gold. BTW I find it cool that Antarctica uses primarily Firefox (as...

    Are You An Internet Addict?

    The internet causes procrastination to be far easier than it once was. Does that count as interfering with my work?

    Counterfeit Electronic Parts Multiplying At Record Rate

    I can't decide how I feel about this. On one hand, counterfeit parts allow us to get things much cheaper than we could originally, sometimes at the same quality. On the other hand, there is no regulation, and they can sell any amount of garbage they want. Sometimes, in the case of certain...

    Police Raid Takes Down Dozens of File-Sharing Sites

    Both of these. This copyright issue is so archaic and a waste of good resources. Instead of being greedy trying to shut down file sharers, why not use the money towards developing some useful content providing services? Make them global too, since us non-Americans can't even get anything...

    Printing without black ink

    Is there a way to make your printer not use black ink for something? I know some printers have this setting, but I am not sure if there is also a software component or something that's built in to the OS/software/etc. I am running Win 7, and have a Lexmark S300 all in one printer.

    Android software recommendations

    Definitely going to check some of these apps out. I also recommend SwiftKey for a keyboard since I liked the extra functionality. Youmail maybe if you have the desire to set it up, or ability to do it with your carrier. I also use SanDisk Memory Zone to backup my phone to my Dropbox.

    Sony Unveils a Brand New Model of the PS3

    Oh I know it's for their benefit, that's my point. Since the PS3 is old enough that it's not terribly expensive anymore, the redesign and supposed cost effectiveness does not benefit the consumer at all. Definitely wasn't, it was just one way the money could be better used.

    Stupid Google Street View Criminal of the Day

    Another wonderful way in which technology can help fight crime. Now all we have to do is attach these cameras innocuously to plain cars, and reap the rewards.

    Facebook Now Tracks What You Search

    Don't give them ideas, they're obviously tracking you right now. The only real point to this tracking I see is that it just gives another way for Facebook to exploit its users. Is there a way to opt out of this crap?

    Sony Unveils a Brand New Model of the PS3

    Instead of wasting all of this money "redesigning" the PS3, why don't they put it towards making the next gen console? Also, why does it matter that it's "lighter"? It might matter more if it was a handheld console.

    Microsoft Going into the Entertainment Business?

    Please don't let this happen. I feel bad enough supporting Microsoft through using the Xbox at all. Please don't let their influence extend further.
