    Another Steam User Record Set

    It's been over a month and I still can't buy anything on the Steam store. I can play, I just can't buy. Customer service has not responded once in the month+. Steam may be doing well in numbers of people online, but there is a huge problem with customer service not helping people with...

    House Approves Sweeping, Warrantless Electronic Spy Powers

    Wonderfully cogent argument. I'll just put you in the "dumbass" category. Please come back with some actual objections to the FISA (amended). What are your specific objections to how the U.S. handles interception of communications where one end is located outside the US? What are your...

    House Approves Sweeping, Warrantless Electronic Spy Powers

    Reverse targeting is illegal. I can't spy on Jose in Mexico if my real target is Joe in New Jersey. As someone who actually has to use FISA every day, I can assure you that reverse targeting would be a great way to lose one's job.

    Any advantage when STB rental isn't expensive?

    The extra tuners are nice. I've found many, many times since I installed my Ceton where I've been recording more than two shows at a time. Using your own computer as the recorder is nice as there is vastly more space available to record shows. But what I like most is that FiOS puts copy...

    T-Mobile Adds Customers as Battle over AT&T Merger Continues

    So you'll buy a GSM phone for use on the T-Mobile network, bail for zero penalty and then somehow magically convert it to a CDMA phone to use on Verizon's network? AT&T knows that once T-Mobile is gone, there is no major GSM competition left for people to go to with their phones.

    Sprint Cutting Unlimited 4G Data Plans

    My wife got Sprint and Hot Spot because she has no access to regular internet where she is. I send her TV shows via drop box and it's easy to do 2GB per day. We could do more, but she only can tether while she is at home. At first, I was mad at Sprint's change. Then I realized you can get...

    Sprint Cutting Unlimited 4G Data Plans

    No grandfather clause? My wife just got Sprint with a 2 year contract one month agou so she can actually have internet service with tethering. $30 extra for a lousy 5GB? Are you kidding me? Cell phone companies in America are awful. I can't fathom why anyone bothers with them.

    AT&T Begins Sending Throttling Warnings to Top Data Hogs

    My wife went with Sprint specifically because of the unlimited data plan. She can't get internet where she is so has to tether to do so. Plus, I send her files with DropBox. One compressed TV show at 2GB would be AT&T's entire monthly allowance. At least we have competition for a little...

    Google Shuts Down Google Desktop and Nine Other Projects

    Huh. We use Google Desktop at the NSA. Wonder if Google shutting it down will affect us at all or it just means no more updates.

    Opinions on these 3 Lian-Li cases?

    I should add that I have a B25F case (290mm cards allowed) and a vapor-x 5870 that, as it turns out, is the same length as a 580. Although the vapor-x has the pci-e plugs on the back for added difficulty, I had little difficulty fitting two in (although I only have one now). The plugs may be...

    WOW! Love the Ceton Card!

    I have a Ceton card. Love it. I pre-ordered it and didn't mind paying the extra $100. If you can, get FiOS. Or move somewhere FiOS is available. Almost nothing has copy flags on it. My work flow, for shows/movies I want to keep is - - Record - Convert to MPG using VideoReDo. I...

    Media Center removed in latest Windows 8 build :/

    My PC is my TV. And if I had an LCD TV, I'd have my PC sitting next to it, or at least hooked up to it. As it is, I just use a monitor as my TV. Like a commenter in the linked article said - I feel bad for the cableCARD tuner manufacturers if MC is dropped. I guess MS figures they can...

    Single large monitor or Eyefinity/Surround Gaming

    I purchased 3 HP ZR24w for gaming. Tried them in landscape and it was rather awesome. For the games I played, things were a bit stretched at the sides. But I can imagine some where it would be great (racing, FPS, maybe). It also was just a bit too wide for my desk. Then, I changed to...

    Opinions on these 3 Lian-Li cases?

    It looks like the default size for a 580 is 267mm. Possibilities:: 90 Allows for 400mm video cards so it's large enough. USB 3.0. Not toolless. No top fan, but there is a mount. 8.0x19.9x19.3in - 1.77cu. ft. Probably not enough features. Z60 The Z60 allows for 288mm cards...
