I have this chassis and it's REALLY NICE. Doesn't make a lot of sense for a a heavy duty workstation (can't use an extended length/high powered power supply, no external bays for optical drives), but it makes the perfect chassis for a small server. The PC-Q08 is a better choice there (and can...

If you give up so easily, why would they want you? (HINT: Perseverance is a quality they also look for)

The main thing the interviewers look at from their perspective is not the answer but how you got there. A good interviewer will know that someone just coming out of school will not be able to get to the final answer of every (or even most) white-board type questions. What they really want to see...

XFX, with their double lifetime warranty, is the easy choice for ATI based video cards. They also make the fastest single slot video card out there (5770). Can't figure out why they're the only ones to achieve this.

If you think Microsoft would rather patent or steal any data and possibly get caught over collecting subscription fees from all these accounts they are signing up (which they wouldn't be able to do if everyone thought they were stealing their data) then you really have no idea how the business...

Hey, So I'm looking to get a keyboard and mouse (don't have to be from the same set even) that will be great to not only browse websites, etc from the couch, but also to do some occasional gaming (CS:S, L4D, etc). The computer will be about 15-20 feet away from where I'll be sitting and...

Great feedback. Thanks!

How is the trackpad? Is it annoying or good to use? How is the multitouch? Any luck using Nvidia's updated Optimus drivers or are you stuck with Asus' old driver? Thanks!

Price not being an issue (the UL80VT-A1 costs less right now), which is the better laptop? Also, can you compare build quality? I have a sneaking suspicion that the UL30 will be a more solid laptop (less flex, etc). I'll be using this primarily at work at meetings for notes, etc but also to...

So I am looking to add wireless capability to my home network that is wired (all gigE), but I don't want to replace my wired router or any of my wired devices. I'd just like to add N wireless capability so that my wireless laptop can connect once in a while when I am on the couch and not at my...

On machines I've built (and also at the OEM I used to work for) we ALWAYS labeled the cables at both ends so that you'd be able to tell what drive was what port (or what controller). So the labels would wrap around the SATA cables and say D0 C0 P0 (Drive 0, Controller 0, Port 0) and so on...

Nuke it from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.

That's the idea (yes, you can).

Is there any single player or is every level at least 2 players+?

I thought it was almost as good as the original with Arnold. Definitely better than the second with Glover. Lots of homages to the original without feeling like it was being ripped off. The tone, grittiness, etc was just like the original. Also, if you loved the original you will have a big...
