    5 Games, Pay What You Want, DRM Free

    Did you miss one third of the title? "Humble Indie Bundle". The "classic" part seems to be HardOCP's addition, though these five are pretty well known in the indie game world. Never really seen people nitpick over a name-your-price deal. The whole point of these bundles is to give some...

    How to Hide From Annoying People on Google+

    I'd love to be able to prevent individual people from showing up in your stream, like Facebook does. At this point, I don't have a whole lot of people in my circles, and there are one or two folks who post stuff all day and completely dominate the stream.

    Need some 965BE overclocking advice

    Thanks. I'm running a stress test right now at a 19x multiplier, CPU at 1.425V. Temps are in the high 40's but I think I can live with that if it's stable. Might also have some curing time left with my AS5.

    Need some 965BE overclocking advice

    I got a new case a few days ago, an Antec 902 v3. Also bought a Corsair H50 for my Phenom 965BE. Motherboard is an Asus M4A78L-M and memory is 4GB of G.Skill DDR2-800. So far the limited overclocking I've done has all been in software, with AMD OverDrive. Auto Clock got me to an HT clock of...

    Asus Cool 'n' Quiet, EPU-4 engine, power saving, etc.

    Thanks. I think I will get rid of EPU. Looks like a handy guide, I've also started on the stickied Phenom guide. Just for the hell of it I'm running Auto Clock in AMD OverDrive. Don't seem to be many fans of software overclocking here but I figure it can give me a decent picture of what my...

    Asus Cool 'n' Quiet, EPU-4 engine, power saving, etc.

    Now that I've got a Corsair H50 hooked up to my 965BE, I'd like to look into some light overclocking. But the various energy saving systems that I've got running are confusing to me. So, in the BIOS on my Asus M4A78L-M, I have the Q-Fan function enabled. The Cool 'n' Quiet option is also...

    How sensitive are processor pins?

    Well, the processor is still working fine thankfully. I booted it back up today. I've got an Antec 902 V3 on the way, though, and I'm going to wait for that to really test my H50.

    How sensitive are processor pins?

    Roger that, lesson learned. I won't actually be able to reassemble everything for a couple of days. When I get the chance I'll give it one more quick cleaning and hopefully I'll be up and running with my H50.

    How sensitive are processor pins?

    I feel like a huge dolt right now, made a series of stupid mistakes today. Bought a Corsair H50 to replace the stock cooler on my Phenom II. When I was removing the heatsink I felt a bit of resistance, but didn't think anything of it. But then I noticed it had pulled the processor out and it...

    ESXi and vSphere

    Roger that. I guess what I'm not sure about is how beefy the processor will need to be. From what I understand, say I want each of 8 workstations to have a 100gb hard drive, so I'd better make sure I've got 800gb + of space. If I want each one to have 1gb of RAM, I should ideally have 8gb of...

    ESXi and vSphere

    Thanks, it makes a lot more sense now. I also found a basic tutorial for installing ESXi and running the vSphere client, which also helped. My next problem will be to get some quotes on appropriate server hardware. Like I said, we'll run about 8 workstations with ESXi. But they don't have to do...

    ESXi and vSphere

    I need a bit of clarification on vmware's product line. First, a bit of background... I'm an intern at a university, currently working for a grad student who will be teaching a pen testing class this fall. Basically, my job right now is to start researching how to use ESXi to set up a virtual...

    Apple Wants Its Secret iPhone Back

    I also think it's all just a big publicity stunt, including Apple's letter to Gizmodo. I read all the articles and now I feel dirty for buying into it.

    Apple Wants Its Secret iPhone Back

    Nope. I've also decided I'm never visiting Gizmodo again. Reading their iPad analysis was painful. That story about how the new iPhone was lost made me cringe. Hell, every time they mention Apple I vomit just a little bit.
