    Whitehats Hack Chrome Browser

    It's sad that Computer World calls these researchers "whitehats" This VUPEN organization won't even release the details of the vulnerability to Google so they can fix it.

    Any realistic difference between Realtek 8111D and Intel?

    1 Gbps = 1000Mbps = 125 MBps Factor in overhead and we could approximate 110 MBps of payload throughput. So for most magnetic hard disks, 1 Gbps would be faster than writing to the disk...as for solid state drives, you would need something a bit faster than 1 Gbps (assuming there are no other...

    Will my 802.11n router handle an upcoming event at my house?

    I can't say much about your specific wireless router, but the 802.11n standard should be able to handle 10 people without any problems. You may want to check and make sure that you can get a stable wireless connection on the bottom floor. If you have the capability, checking the signal to noise...

    Brown stuff on 7800GT

    I just pulled my video card to help troubleshoot someone else's computer and I discovered that theres this brown stuff on my card does not look like it should be there. I have been experiencing unusually low framerates in some source games. I'm wondering if this may be a part of the problem, or...

    New build not POSTing

    Just assembled a new build today, but I tried to start it up and it is not POSTing and we're not getting video. The case lights and fans all turn on. There is a potential for it being damaged statically because some idiot friends of mine could not keep their hands off the hardware. Any...

    Italian BitTorrent Site Raided

    It can also be difficult to prove infringement occured based on site logs. Torrent clients have been known to report inaccurate data, and logs can always be falsified/misleading/untrue. As to the article itself, has anyone even heard of this colombo-bt.org place anyways? Seems a bit of a...

    The ridiculous cost of text messages

    It's not that that I'm referring to. It's that they are making such an outrageous amount of money off SMS and MMS messages. The cost per KB difference between landline and SMS/MMS is unbelievable.

    22" Westy at Target - good/bad?

    I've experienced both of those problems. Now that I'm back at school I sit far enough back from my monitor I can't tell the difference anymore.:D The return from standby still bugs me though. Oh well...

    22" Westy at Target - good/bad?

    So the fuzzy picture is explained by the shitty VGA cable bundled with the monitor. I used my DVI cable to test the picture and it looks fabulous. It was a successful black friday for me. :D I just need to go pick up some cables.

    22" Westy at Target - good/bad?

    Well I picked up the Westy today. I have it set up but text isn't nearly as clear as on my 22w2. I still have to mess around with settings though. :-/

    22" Westy at Target - good/bad?

    I have the Westy 22w2 (from last year's black friday actually :D) and it feels fine to me. I don't see why the 22w3 would feel of low quality.

    22" Westy at Target - good/bad?

    Target is going to have the Westinghouse 22w3 on sale at Target for $167. I have the 22w2 I picked up at BB last year and I'm debating whether I should pick up another. I absolutely love my 22w2 but I'm not sure if that's still a great deal like it was last year.

    How to get a little bit more gameplay in demo (using map editor) - spoilers

    This is how you can get just a few more seconds of gameplay after the final cutscene. 1.) Install the map editor located in /Sandbox2 Installer/ 2.) Run editor.exe in /Bin32/ 3.) Open the demo map they give you (island.cry) into the map editor. 4.) Navigate to the area where the cutscene...

    World's Biggest Pre-Release Pirate Music Site Netted

    I can already see music sales skyrocketing and pirates 'round the world repenting their downloads. Glad to see the men and women of law enforcement are out there solving real crimes, like murder, rape, child pornography, kidnapping, and music downloading. :rolleyes:

    Disappointing RMA :(

    Yeah, I just read the heatspreader and weeped for a few moments. I threw them in and the BIOS didn't complain and memtest (only ran for ~2 minutes :-p) was fine at 2-3-3-6. I'm gonna memtest overnight tonight and see what happens. Hopefully it'll be fine.:cool:

    Disappointing RMA :(

    Ok so I RMA'd some CMX1024-3200C2 RAM @ 2-3-3-6 and they sent me back some CMX1024-3200PT @ 3-3-3-8 Thats a rather large jump in CAS latency. I'm pretty disappointed... Probably not much I can do though since its DDR1, I'm guessing its out of production. :( EDIT: everything's good. :D

    Is this a good buy 8800 gts 640

    Um...nearly any video card can output 1080. What resolution is your voodoo outputting? It's probably something close to 1080 as it is. The 1080 number is the vertical component of resolution. The 8800GTS is amazing card, but if you're just looking to output 1080, you're looking at the...

    AMD Blocking Access To The Frame Buffer

    If Sony and the other media companies "forced" this to happen, why couldn't Intel and AMD (the two obvious powerhouses in the CPU market) just reject their offers. If Intel and AMD decided to not block the frame buffer, they wouldn't lose any customers (how many people buy computers to watch Blu...
