Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
Why do pirates pirate? It's simple, really. Because stealing is fun, and it makes me feel good.
Other factors would be pride in one's own e-intellectual prowress, physical availability of the product and lastly, employment status. But then if a user, such as myself, should financially profit...
Good luck with that. The VP201's can be had for $700 and the samsung's $200 more. I'm torn but I might end up getting 213T because of its better use in photoediting (color reproduction and that luverly .27mm dot pitch that'd let me sit a couple feet away from the monitor and work).
If you're...
1) that reciever is insane.
2) beer is good.
3) the xbox looks perfect like that.
4) *takes notes*
5) are you using specialised A/V cables, as in brand/type?
6) have you considered a HDTV Wonder + bigger harddrives?
7) that reciever is INSANE.
souja9,
presuming you've got the 250gig JB formatted ntfs, and you've used computer management/adminstrative tools to map the drive to your 'my documents' folder... doesn't ntfs' encryption come into play if you format/reinstall windows xp?
like, does the data on the 250gig still remain...
