    Why We Should Play Bad Games

    I know, play game son a CONSOLE so you know how good you have it on a PC... Did that and am giving the xBox away for X-Mass this year! And while you're at it, play just about anything from EA, that'll make you appreciate the good stuff out there!

    Court Absolves MySpace in Sexual Assault

    I hear Mom and Dad 2.0 should be the best protection for children. Unfortunately this child must have Stupid 0.1 for guardians and a lawyer.

    Spam Turns 30

    I remember spam 20 years ago... Make money fast... sort of like what you see today and on TV infomercials too... But 30 years ago? WOW what was it on? The spam I saw 20 years ago was on the old BBS networks (yes there were networks before the INTERNET/INTERWEB/INTERTUBES of today)

    Quote Of The Day

    Well some of you understand that "regular" phones have been using the "new" packet idea for decades... That is probably part of what this guy is getting at. He probably points out that these new companies are skirting around taxes which make up a large percentage of a regular phone bill.

    Wonder Twin Powers, Activate

    Yeah, Wonder Twins... I've seen several references to this ancient, fearful duo as of late. At least I know my childhood was shared and scared the same as many others were.

    Seagate CEO: “If SSD Gets Popular, We Will Sue”

    This just blows my mind, but then again it's always been about holding the MONOPOLY... I think I'll return my new Seagate HDD and buy a WD one instead.

    Trent Reznor Favors An ISP 'Tax On Music'

    I'm already being taxed to death in all ways. I do not download legal or illegal music over the internet. Why would I want to pay a freeking tax on something I don't do? You should pay for what you buy and use.

    Using eBay to Catch a Truck Thief

    The unfortunate truth about police. They are not there to "serve and protect" They are there to get revenue for the city/county/state. They do not go after real bad-guys. They go after the not so bad guys and give them tickets. They have to play marriage councilors for those who have...

    Spammers Giving Up? Google Thinks So

    This is true people. I was getting over 1000 spam messages a month as of 12 months ago. I'm down to getting 300 spam messages in that same month now. Well it's true for me at least...

    Upside Xbox 360 Makes You Fat & Lazy

    Ummmm Bullshit... Here's why I say that, I had no video game console while growing up. I was fat and overweight from 4th grade on... OK that being said a video game system may make things worse but they do not make you fat. Sitting around on your ass does that. Watching TV does that...

    Hotmail Co-Founder Launches Online Office Suite

    I have been using Google docs to share a spreadsheet with my brother the last few months. It's useful because he is a MAC man and I use Windows. The common WEB approach allows the sharing of this simple document. On the other hand, the spreadsheet program that Google uses is not the...

    Can I hook up 2 PCI-E video cards to separate Monitors

    Would this speed up video for the 8800GT since it only has to process a single video source instead of two?

    Can I hook up 2 PCI-E video cards to separate Monitors

    I have a new 8800 GT and an old 7800 GT I would like to hook the 2 video cards up to 2 monitors, assuming that I will get better video response from the 8800 GT since it will only be driving a single display. Is this true, and would it work on an ASUS A8N32-SLI Deluxe motherboard? Thanks...

    AMD Sued For Child’s Birth Defects

    She should have requested a reposting when she discovered/decided to become pregnant. Since the didn't she is admitting guilt to child abuse... No wait, the fetus isn't a child until it's born, so she did nothing wrong. Wait on that AMD did nothing wrong either since the fetus is not a...

    Did Blogging Juror Affect DUI Trial?

    The court is correct. As long as the juror does not enter information on the case then he/she is in the right. Think about it. At work when someone goes off to serve on a jury they can say that they are going. But as long as they don't talk about the subject they are following the intent and...

    OLPC Hits $200 Mark

    Thats the standard way liberals work. They bait and switch, offer you a good laptop for kids in developing countries at 100, then turn around and say they can't make it at that price, and it'll cost 200 instead. So is this dude a liberal? In a government? Then why is this the case in...

    Does anyone remember an article on a new type of Air Conditioner a few years ago?

    I was remembering an article I had read in either Hard OCP or The Tech Report that was about a couple young inventors that had created a new way to cool air. It was some kind of non-mechanical way to cool air, but I don't recall where I had read about it, and haven't seen anything on it since...

    Are there rumors about NVIDIA Price drops soon, specifically on the 8800 GTX

    I guess I should have questioned if there will be a refresh too. Something like an 8900 or 8950 type update. If there is only an 8800 Ultra then maybe NVIDIA is slowing their update process and going to take longer between major updates. Now this reminds me of what AMD did and allowing the...

    Are there rumors about NVIDIA Price drops soon, specifically on the 8800 GTX

    Are there rumors about NVIDIA Price drops soon, specifically on the 8800 GTX I'm looking to upgrade in the next months and am wondering if I should wait or not. I've come into some money (tax return) and want the best I can get. I don't want to get it now though if there will be a 6 month...

    Banning Social Networks From Schools

    No, this does not break the first amendment. On the other hand it is very silly. The schools do not want anything but a controlled environment. They don't want incorrect ideas being introduced to their students. They want to control those little skulls full of mush, and make them into good...

    How to selectively allow or disallow dlls on startup

    About a year ago, I remember finding a command that placed my computer into a diagnostic mode for startup. It allowed me to either run a DLL or skip it on startup. Unfortunately I do not recall what that mode is, nor how to enter it anymore... and of course have need of it again. Can anyone...

    nforce 3 and the AMD Athlon 64 X2

    Ok, I've not seen what motherboards the new AMD Athlon 64 X2 will run on. Is there a list anywhere on compatible chipsets/motherboards out yet, or is this a future item? The reason I'm sticking with a NF3 is that I purchased a high end AGP video card and can not afford to upgrade both video...

    EQ 2 players - should I upgrade from 9800 pro to 6800 GT?

    I have a AMD XP2700 and a 6800GT. It runs well on this system, but the way to improve EQ2 performance isn't only with the better video card. Get more memovy, 1.5GB and turn off virtual memory. That fixes most graphics hitching on both the NVIDIA and ATI cards (yes there was a small amount in...

    Why is the optimum setting not used in, ATI Radeon X850 XT-PE AGP Evaluation

    I understand that they do not want to be biased. The problem though is that they are already being biased in changing the settings for AA and whatnot. This being the case, I was wondering if they could just add it as an additional option. In fact I would love to see an article showing a...

    Why is the optimum setting not used in, ATI Radeon X850 XT-PE AGP Evaluation

    I have enjoyed reading Hard-OCP for the last few years. Ever since the change in reviewing the video options, I've especially enjoyed the opinionated reviews even more. Unfortunately over the last few weeks, I've found a HUGE (in my opinion) hole in the review options. I had an average...
