I like Chrome, except for the fact that Adblock is neutered (it can't stop ads from being downloaded, only hides them) and there's no possibility of Noscript unless they change the way extensions work. Noscript has saved my butt more times than I can count, and without that, I simply won't...

That case is rather garish, but hey, you can't complain about the price!

On a couple of systems we have when we shut the system down, we get an error from Logonui.exe and the system won't shut down until you clear the error or shut down the system via the power button. It's happened on multiple systems, but I believe only on systems running SP3. It would be only...

That's the sort of mentality that enables the "profit at all costs" way of thinking. I'd much rather work at a company that has execs that are in it for the long haul, not the ones who structure their own pay schedules to reward themselves for making short term profits.

Gotta love the good old corporate mentality of "well, we didn't make as much of a profit as we expected, so let's fire a few thousand people...". It's not like they lost money! Reminds me of Zorg from the Fifth Element. Same mentality of when you have that number of people on staff, they become...

So did anyone else watch that demo and wish it was the next Dungeon Keeper? I could totally imagine those Froblins being the imps...

Cool idea, very poor execution. The layout was not well thought out, the wiring is ugly, the tubing looks thrown in wherever, and there was no thought as to airflow, it looks like they just threw in those 2 fans when they realized it was overheating or something. I mean, the exhaust from the PSU...

Amen. The first multi-player game I ever played was Duke 3D, over a modem with my buddy. I still load up my copy of Duke 3D with the HRP pack on it every now and then, it's still a fun game to play. I'm hoping if DNF is canned that they'll release what they have now, sort or like how they...

Don't forget the fact that it wasn't any fun, either. But other than the fact the game took forever, was buggy as hell, looked like Quake 1 warmed over, wasn't any fun, and didn't sell for crap, it was a great success!

Ya, I heard about that, but talk about a pain in the gluteus maximus. Why can't I just type in how many points I want, or just click the "buy 800 points" next to the buy DLC button or something? I really hate MS sometimes.

<Rant> AMEN! Microsoft REALLY screwed up the DLC for Fallout 3. I bought the game off of Steam (which I love!) so why can't I buy the expansions from Steam??? I've bought the last 2 expansions, and BOTH of them did not install properly, I had to search my hard drive for the ESM files and copy...

I'm sort of leaning that way as well. I looked into flashing it, but it already has the latest firmware on it (v1.06), and there was no mention of this issue in the change notes, so I didn't want to risk bricking it.

He already changed the boot order, it's stalling when it's booting into windows (at the point where the screen goes black after the logo but before the welcome screen). I'm not sure if cleaning the lens would make a difference, firstly it's only a week or two old, and secondly he has no...

Like the title says, I'm working on a machine that won't boot into windows if there is a CD/DVD in the drive. It may boot up eventually, but the user is impatient and doesn't feel like waiting forever to find out. It just sits there on the black screen right before it shows the Welcome screen...

Gimme gimme gimme! Please? I need teh phat lewtz!
