    Opinions on Controllers for PC

    Hi folks, I have generally been an avid mouse/keyboard gamer for a long time but I notice more and more games seem far more suited to play with a controller as they are console ports and while this hasn't really bothered me too much I found that I couldn't get into Skyrim partially because of...

    Low Volume Printers for Home Use

    I am not going to bother with color and will try out the current generation LED Lasers I think they should be good enough. If I need something higher quality I can use the workgroup printer at work. Thanks for the suggestions folks.

    Low Volume Printers for Home Use

    Hi folks, It looks like I have left my Cannon Bubblejet i450 and i470 sitting idle too long needing new print heads and since replacing them cost more than I paid for the printers themselves I thought I would see if there are any decent options for a low volume printer floating around these...

    FPS Selection

    Hi Guys, I've not had much time to do gaming for awhile and there are a bunch of titles that I have missed in FPS gaming and while I've read through some of the current threads on titles I am debating what's worth picking up for current MP play. Rarely do I do the single player on these...

    Alternative to 2209wa

    Well given the ZR24w runs just under $400 street price if I go that route it will be purchasing just 1 not two. In a perfect world I would get both or better one of the Dell U3011's but I am too much of a realist for that. I've been using a fairly bad 17" TN for a bit and while I dislike the...

    Better Boost for the money SSD or Hybrid HDD

    Hi folks, I've been looking at putting some upgrades on my current workstation without doing a full rebuild. At the moment I use a couple of drives: Seagate Barracuda ST3750528AS Western Digital WD6400AAKS Both are 7200rpm SATA 3Gb/s drives and I am generally happy with them even...

    Alternative to 2209wa

    Hi folks, I am looking to pick up a pair of 22-24" LCDs that I will primarily use to work with text in IntelliJ/Visual Studio as well as Photoshop/Illustrator. I am a fairly lightweight gamer with some Civ V, Elemental: War of Magic, some DDO and occasionally the odd FPS like Enemy Territory...

    Good Book(s) for Computer Organization?

    You may consider looking at Randal Hyde's Art of Assembly Language since you can get it free and it's presented as a bit more of a High Level Approach to to the machine guts while still explaining the nitty gritty. Plus it's x86 architecture so that makes it far easier to play with...

    Web Development from beginner -> *expert*

    Learning all about web design is a large area really, given you have everything from the content side like Copy-writing, Graphics, Front end design, Back-end coding, database design, etc. Plus throw in Project Management skills in and it's a long list of possible skills to learn. Not to mention...

    Digsby vs Pdigin

    I use Digsby mostly because it has the best mail handler for all those extra multiple email addresses You get a nice preview of the message with the subject/sender and partial first line of the message. I can tag incoming messages as spam on gmail or yahoo without having to actually log in and...

    HP ZR22W 22 inch IPS 1920x1080

    How would you compare the HP to the Dell 2209wa? I am finally getting to where I am jumping into an LCD after resisting for so many years (My good Sony CRT is dying and I just can't find any decent replacements these days). I do mostly text editing but lightweight gaming comparison would be...

    20-24" Price sweet spot

    Hi folks. It looks like after nearly 10 years my last good Sony CRT is on it's way out. That being the case I guess I finally will have to break down and go into an LCD. So far I suspect on picking up either 1 or 2 Dell 2209wa screens. Yet before I pull the trigger on that I thought I would...

    Flash vs. Java vs. ?

    If you are comfortable somewhat with Actionscript you may consider doing something like this in Flex instead of Flash Directly. For programmatically dealing with a database, a dynamic UI and the option to go as a Desktop app (Adobe AIR) that is something to look at. You can do an awful lot of...
