    Technology FAIL of the Day

    If the missiles were produced on a larger scale, surely the price per missile would come down. I think it's a promising idea. We've really only begun to find out how GPS technology can simplify our lives. :p

    Vista SP2 Results in Increased Free Disk Space?

    Let's have a big argument about it. If you had better reading comprehension, you'd know I wasn't saying Superfetch is a bad idea. I like the idea of putting memory to work to make things load faster. But I'm telling you: my drive was pinned half the time caching LARGE files that usually...

    Vista SP2 Results in Increased Free Disk Space?

    The fact that your hardware may support Aero doesn't mean it's a good idea to enable it. This doesn't affect me anyway -- I just think "regular" users could benefit from better default settings. If you want it to cache vmware images regardless of how often you use them, then go for it...

    Vista SP2 Results in Increased Free Disk Space?

    I'm not against Windows Search in general - if you use it even occasionally it should pull its weight. Vista is running great on this 1000HE so far, but I did have to disable Aero to get the best performance out of it. A lot of users may not think to disable it, and it can make a real...

    Vista SP2 Results in Increased Free Disk Space?

    I installed SP2 but didn't keep track of the difference in disk space. I just installed vista sp2 (and ubuntu 9.04) on an asus 1000HE (atom N280 w/ 2 GB). It's quite usable - performance is at least up to my expectations. Aero is supported, but after testing some 720p x264 playback I found...

    Wiretap Theater [complete]

    Oops - I'm lazy and I "skim/skip" too much sometimes :p 6 inches sounds about right - just a little elevation would go a long way. Even if people in the back can already see OK (which is surprising to be honest, based on looking at the pics!), the elevation in the back seats would be another...

    Wiretap Theater [complete]

    This is definitely one of the nicer home theater rooms I've seen -- really nice work! Only one suggestion comes to mind: what do you think about elevating the rear seats? Maybe I'm misjudging the angles, but it looks like people in rear seats could have a tough time seeing the screen...

    XP vs Vista: Redux @ [H]

    Goodness gracious! If the TOPIC has been neglected, your post certainly does nothing to revive it, since it only contains a complaint, and no comments relating to the TOPIC. Anyway I don't see how it was a "threadjack", since the relative stability / reliability of Vista had been under...

    Doctors Want Video Game 'Addiction' Recognized?

    It seems clear enough to me that for some people, video games really are way too important. For someone really addicted to gaming, it's actually a mental health issue. My impression is that some people are "addictive personality" types, and if they weren't addicted to video games, they'd find...

    XP vs Vista: Redux @ [H]

    I've heard of issues on AMD platforms with 4x1GB that can be "worked around" by over-volting the memory and/or CPU core (which has an integrated memory controller). Also you could try clocking the memory down to 667 (just for testing!), or better yet swapping in 2x2GB (if you can borrow it)...

    XP vs Vista: Redux @ [H]

    I can understand there will be some bugs in a new OS - I was more annoyed by the fact that the patch didn't show up in Windows Update, since I would have actually avoided having any headaches with 4 GB if they just put the bloody patch in there... It just seems silly to me - I'd love to know...

    XP vs Vista: Redux @ [H]

    That patch worked for me. If the patch doesn't work for you, I guess the only conclusion we can draw is that there's some other problem that prevents you from booting with 4 GB. A few questions for you: other people with 4 GB on the same mainboard are not having the same problem ? memtest86+...

    XP vs Vista: Redux @ [H]

    I'm actually not interested in what you do. I just don't think you know what you are talking about when you say Vista is "nowhere near as stable as XP".
