    McDonald's Pulls Website After Another McScrew-Up

    Reading that article made me frustrated at the disparate economies of those at the top and bottom of major corporations... but it also made me want to go have some McDonalds...:o

    I tried dumping the BIOS, but it just popped up an error message stating "Error, the BIOS could not be detected".

    Avoid accidental tap while typing

    "The double tap in the top corner did nothing." On Toshiba laptops, there's a little indicator that turns on when the touchpad is disabled. Not all laptops have this feature.

    Razer Education/Indie Dev HUGE discounts

    Razer has an education discount with participating schools (listed below, only current at the time of this posting, will not be updated), and an AMAZING indie developer discount. The requirements for the indie dev discount are a little steep, with either a $50K funded Windows game, or an...

    In need of a laptop.

    The Razer Blade Pro has a 1080p screen at 17", and is a lot more powerful. Limited to only 8GB of RAM, so if you ever need more there's no upgrade option, though that's true for any ultraportable. http://www.razerzone.com/gaming-systems/razer-blade-pro On a side note, if you're an indie...

    Toshiba P50 hardware virtualization issues

    This is to hopefully help anyone that purchases a Toshiba P50 laptop. I purchased it with an Intel i7 4700MQ, specifically because it was one of the cheapest i7s with VT-x support. I work with VMs a lot. So in the BIOS, under Advanced, there's a Virtualtization Technology setting. The only...

    Avoid accidental tap while typing

    This can only be resolved by driver settings. (Windows Vista and later) If you go to Control Panel -> Hardware -> Mouse, go to the last tab on the right (varies per touchpad vendor, may not be there for crappy drivers). Do your best to search here for sensitivity and, if you're lucky, settings...

    AMD Will Not Sample FX-9590 for [H] Testing

    The fact that this is only available to system builders, it's very expensive, inefficient, and they don't want it reviewed makes it seem like they want to sell only to those that are looking for the "best" without performing their proper research first. But it really doesn't make sense, at the...

    Weirdest Thing You Will See All Day

    If you type up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, A, B, then you will see a debug console for the site. This is a really neat way of testing things out. I only found it by mistyping the konami code--I feel so ashamed :(

    New build boots to no video, but works when bios entered on startup

    I tried an old Asus ATI 4870 512MB. Same exact issues, so the video card is ruled out at this point. Now it's isolated to either the CPU (HD 4000), motherboard, or software (driver incompatabilities, windows updates (I hope not :()).

    New build boots to no video, but works when bios entered on startup

    I was able to find a spare HDMI cable. After some extensive diagnostics (downgraded to windows 7 to rule out OS/Driver issues, reinstalled Windows 8, removing/adding parts one at a time until the problem persisted), I've determined that the issue only occurs when the GTX 660Ti is installed and...
