BBC is very legit, in other news: "A garden gnome giving the Nazi salute has landed a German artist in trouble with the authorities in Nuremberg." :S

Are you using CCC with Catalyst 9.6? Let the application decide AA and AF. I run standard AI, and turn it off if I get flickering or other anomalies in game. Adaptive AA I usually have off unless the game has some headroom for IQ improvement. For GTA4 running a 512mb 4870, I was able to go up...

I had a 700m from when they came out. It lasted through a few years of my abuse though. :P However the first thing to go was the DC power jack soldered onto the motherboard. A couple of the contacts came unsoldered. Any play on the power plug right where it meets with the laptop socket...

"Why do you have a wicked over-timed, water-filled, tricked-out computer with the 3dfx floating processor enabled graphics card? Because you are in love with 3D! In that spirit, our engineers made the top of this hard hard drive case amazing to look at and a pleasure to feel." Thanks for...

Just wow. I feel like a kid all over again. I'm gonna go play some more. :)

Indubitably. ;)

"...wrapped in the string and plastic he used to try and recreate a parachute in order to dive off of his thirteen story apartment building." Good riddance. If only all stupid people died that young, we might be better off as a race.

"When you get home, you are going to scrub that penis until it disappears!"

You can move the card support bar left or right a couple positions each way. There are screws that hold the bar to the top and bottom of the case. In some pics of the guts you may be able to see rows of holes towards the top of the case. I put mine on the floor next to a big wooden desk. I...

Has the DC input jack for the mobo come loose? I believe it is a common problem. If the jack is loose and only some of the pins are making contact with the mobo, then it could power the laptop without charging it. I fixed a couple with solder and crazy glue.

Seems like it would look more interesting in a darker environment. What do I know? I'm a fan of mild hallucinogens... I appreciate the effort I guess. :)

If only these companies realized they CAN'T provide proper security. :/ It has also been said before that skilled hackers don't go to jail, they get better jobs than most non-criminal types.

ATI>ATI>NV>ATI>ATI Sandwiched. :P Ended up on the hd4870 512mb. I am happy with the change. I had an 8800gt and 3870 at the same time. I preferred the performance and image quality of the 8800. Bought the 4870 (could not believe the performance jump from the 3870) never looked back. I am...

The guy named Thomas was the teacher I believe. There are more pages of the police report linked at the bottom.

A Ferrari and a Rolex... :P It's people like this that give criminals a bad name. They aren't all retarded, but you rarely read about the ones who never get/got caught so we all just assume. :D In all honesty though, it's great to have idiots trying to make money off of pirating. Makes the...
