Thank you, that's basically what I was afraid of and also extremely helpful to have it confirmed so clearly. I guess this free m.2 drive I got is going to be worth as much to me as it was to them. :(

I've been out of the game a little while and this m.2 thing has me scratching my head. I have a B+M key sata m.2 ssd, and I need an adapter card to connect it to a pcie slot. All I'm finding are cards that require a separate sata cable connection to the motherboard for this to work, but my...

As others have stated, make sure your board supports the required virtualization technologies. KVM will absolutely do it if the hardware supports it, I did this myself using debian as a base OS. A few things I learned: it's easiest if your integrated graphics and your discreet graphics use...

Far from a scientist here but I do try to keep up... My understanding of the quantum computing/encryption issue is that quantum system operate more in amplitudes/probability than absolutes, which changes how you can work on the data. In other words a deterministic system has to follow discreet...

This isn't even a story. People die, people tweet, this person is tweeting while another person dies. Meanwhile across the internet a lot of people are damning her for reaching out. To anyone who has negative words to say to this woman, sincerely fuck yourself. Grief is grief.

I like the ownage factor.

Let me get this. Some italian men (hardly a cross section of society) like to watch a light bulb that looks like people having sex various different ways THAT PEOPLE ACTUALLY HAVE SEX, and they get off on it. FUCK THEM. Then other people go to church and fuck their wives just those same...

I use an HTC trophy with WP7. It's awesome. Granted, I came from a clamshell to this, so it is an awesome upgrade.

my guess is they'll find one or two of the lead people involved in the attacks, slap them around a bit, and have minor blowback from the rest of the group. Anon will route around damage, someone else will lead the next one.

Because I am [H]ard.

I Like the idea. My previous blog site (xanga) actually charges for the feature. I am kind of OCD about archiving my digital life, this is a godsend. 1. viruses stealing all your info: I can't imagine a situation where a virus could break in to your page and download this, in which it...

Who is this for? The guy with enough money to buy a high-end board but no money to buy a gfx card?

thanks GNR. I tried installing the 5770 first, then once it was all good to go, inserting the 9250 and letting windows do it's thing, but it couldn't find a suitable driver on it's own. So, no luck. I guess I'm just down to 2 monitors till I get around to a full new rig and another 5770.

Ok, here's my situation. I just purchased an xfx 5770 as an upgrade to replace my old x800gt. I also have an ancient HIS 9250 pci card for a couple extra monitors (mobo only has one pci-e x16 slot). Win xp pro is the OS. Now, the x800 and 9250 played just fine together. I had to install...

I didn't know it was, however I can report that I had fun! We just got a cold snap with some nice snow and freezing rain, so it was time for doughnuts in the parking lot!

I figured it out. Earlier revisions of the spinpoint F1 used a jumper to set the sata mode, and though the utilities they provided claimed to change it, they didn't apparently. I stole a jumper off an old dead hard drive and clicked it in ( ::l: ) which has done the trick, xp booted right...

@danny: My sig was incorrect, I upgraded my PSU a while ago to an Antec Earthwatts 650, and i have checked all voltages in bios and with a multimeter and have found them to be dead on. I ran memtest for a bit over an hour, it passed, I didn't feel more than that was necessary, as I ran it about...

I just got a new samsung spinpoint F1 HD103UJ, which is a sata 2 1TB drive. My motherboard is an ASUS A8N5X as seen in my sig. I was looking to replace my old IDE 200g drives. I performed a clean format and install of windows XP to the new drive, which was successful until it restarted, and...

This is called Multiboxing, it's a fairly well-understood concept. Though up to this point the most extreme example I had seen was a PvP player known as Xzin who ran four mages and a priest. It's not just a base hardware cost, it's a matter of creating a specific set of macro commands for...

I'm debating selling my current rig (see sig), and I'm trying to get an idea for a price (been a while, I'm not very caught up). As far as condition goes, the monitors are a little scuffed up, and the case has a few scratches. Other than that everything works and is in good shape.

Radical Dreamers, (SNES) It's a side-story in the Chrono series. Explains a lot of the details from Cross. Uplink (PC): hacking game, think nethack, neuromancer, etc.

Chrono Trigger, when getting the green dream from Robo. The NPC conversation by the campfire made me feel as if the developers were honestly in love with the game they had created. I know I was. A distant second would be when I played Gunz: the Duel. I went on a mission to purge a full...

Again, apologies for the late reply. I will be using this system for some light gaming, lots of office work, movie watching (vga input on our TV), etc. I had some unexpected expenses, so I ended up only getting that ram. Not enough $$ for the vid card. I've actually noticed a pretty...

Sorry for the long delay between posts. I'll be at resolution 1280 x 1024 (17 inch CRT). I'm not getting a whole new system, I just need to squeeze some more life out of this one for the time being. As far as those 120" yate loons: I would, but I don't have 120mm fan mounts, only 80mm.

I've got a budget of around $200, and my rig is as follows: ASUS A8N5X (socket 939) Opteron 146 (single-core, OC'd to 2.8ghz) OCZ valueram 1 gig, corsair valueram 512Meg 550W Aspire PSU Saphire X800GT 2x 200 gig IDE hard drives, both maxtor All stock cooling I'm not going to be fully...

that WMP300N caught my eye a while ago. The transmit power just isn't high enough on it, I don't think. With my ghetto dish and the high-output of the 550, it's still only getting 48 meg transmit rate, not 54. I was actually looking at picking up another 550 and this ant...

Right now I have a D-Link DWL-G550 with stock antenna (ghetto tin-foil dish, for directional love). I'm giving this one away, so it's time for a new (better?) one. I'm across the house from the router, it's nowhere near my desktop, so high output is a must. That was a deciding factor in...

So, that's quite a few votes for yate loons, but how about if I wanted the top-end fans? Fans seem like such a small investment and they'll move with me between upgrades, I can't see why I shouldn't go top-end with them. What's the best?

I like the look of the CoolerMaster 690 a lot, thanks for the suggestion. The antec 900 is about double the price, and it's not near as sleek. Thanks for that suggestion as well though. Now, how about fans? What's the quietest possible 120mm fan that will still move enough air?

I'm getting sick of my current case (whole rig, actually. dang single-core...), and I'm looking at alternatives. I'm not looking to pay over $100 for a new case (or at least not much over), but I want something that's going to allow for very good airflow, and accommodate a Tuniq tower...

Are you heavily overclocked? I had something similar (as well as various other boot problems) happen on my first overclocked rig, even though memtest and prime95 said everything was fine.

It is generally considered a bad idea, since static electricity will literally bounce off the surface of the bag. So any static that does hit the bag is even more likely to hit the board, since it will jump around on the bag. Think of it as a shield. Great if you are behind it, but if you are...

Call me crazy, but I don't use any special programs to organize my music. I've got it broken down by artist and then by cd title in folders. Then I made a little menu on the taskbar for "Music" which lets me bring up a menu of all my artists, select whatever I want, etc. etc.

So, I've got an Asus A8N5X, bios 9002, and I'm trying to flash it up to the latest 1003 bios. However, at about 88 percent it slows way down in the writing process (I'm using the latest asus update prog. for windows). It will finish up slowly, then when it verifies the bios image it'll...

Doh, never even thought of that. Here I am worried about the flash rom dying on me... Thanks man.

Hey, I've got a little bit of a confusing situation here. I've got a system (sig) with an Asus A8N5X, bios rev. 0902 (yes, it's out of date). The last few times I've started it up, it has been resetting the bios to defaults, and I have no clue why. I noticed this because by default NVraid is...

1. UT 2003 2. WC3 (though I suck at it) 3. TES 3: Morrowind

Thanks for the responses. I'm going go try the circle method first, with a sharpie X on the IHS and HSF (both probably could use it) to see how bad they are before I go crazy.

I've read a few lapping guides for IHS/HSF, but they seem to have contradictory information. Some say to lap in circles on sandpaper, others say to sand back/forth/back/forth, rotate, repeat. Is there one definitive lapping guide? I've never lapped anything before, and I want to do it...

thanks, I turned off hardware acceleration in WMP and it works, but I have to set the desktop res on the movie monitor to 800x600. Oh well, it's functional. Heh, and the reply I got from ATI was that it's not possible.
