    Trans-Arctic Internet Cable Project Made Possible by Climate Change

    Here's the thing i find funny about either situation. Lets say for argument we do everything we need to do to fix the situation with climate change within 5 years. The result would be millions/billions of people dying. How do you say that would happen? Currently there's not even enough food to...

    Microsoft Alienates Troops with the Always-Online Xbox

    oh and I also wanted to add that microsoft is embracing digital distribution, which I'm happy about(have $5-10k worth of games on steam) but they should have modeled themselves after steam. I have no problem with my steam library in deployed locations because it has its offline mode. All i have...

    Microsoft Alienates Troops with the Always-Online Xbox

    When I lived in the dorms my internet wasn't too bad. We just went through the local ISP's and they hooked us up like any other place, but this 24hr check in will be detrimental in deployed areas. In deployed areas 90% of my web access was through the military internet with all its filters...

    Need suggestion for 30" monitor mount

    Like the title says, i need a monitor mount for a 30" monitor. I currently have 4 30" monitors and I want to mount the 4th 1 directly above 1 of the others. Most of the ones designed the way I need only fit up to a 27".

    Meatboy Dev: Apathy and refunds are more dangerous than Piracy

    They may not be able to calculate ROI with ads but theres a difference between ads and DRM. One is getting the word out about your product, DRM is about controlling how your product is used.

    Amazon Suspends The Sale Of SimCity

    their download server havn't given me or any of my friends issues. Its the authentication/game servers themselves that are unstable.What kills me is they did a "stress test" and are having this magnitude of issues. Its a pretty awsome game when you can actually get in

    Student’s Refusal to Wear RFID Expulsion Postponed

    I honestly don't see a problem with the RFID tags. People are treating it like GPS, they are short ranged and there has to be a scanner there to "track" them. They should be more afraid of their smartphone, they are tracked within a few meters at all times by their wireless...

    What would cause minecraft to be retarded slow on this machine?

    In my experience minecraft requires alot of memory so thats where the hangup probably is. Try upgrading your java version and lowing the draw distance and it should run better.

    HDBaseT extenders

    I'm was tyring to go with the one above so I could use standard CAT5/6 and could go pretty much as far as I wanted cable wise(not to mention cable thickness). With the one I linked above it could allow me to save some cash if it can support a 2560x1600. Otherwise im stuck using this...

    HDBaseT extenders

    Has anyone here tried using the Atlona AT-HD4-V110SR to extend one of their displays? Essentially I'm trying to centralize all of my computers inside my server rack 60-100ft away and wish to utilize something like this so it feels like its still in my one room minus the noise/heat. I know this...

    Windows 7 Keeps Growing in Popularity Over XP

    I've tried windows 8 out and at first I didn't like it but after I saw how everything worked its starting to grow on me. Everything you can do on windows 7 can be done on windows 8 roughly the same way, espeically in desktop mode. I had to relearn how to do some power user/admin tasks but it...

    EU Sends Microsoft Formal Antitrust Complaint

    I'm so sick and tired of these ass clowns making these claims. Every OS maker puts their own perfered web browser above any other. If it was such an issue they should be going after apple too. Also if a user doesn't know how to get another browser, they are too incompetant to care what browser...

    Tribes Ascend now live

    Your going at it all wrong. The game isnt ment to play like a realistic/modern shooter. It ment to be a fun/arcady type shooter and a update to the tribes series. There may have been "1000" games like this in the past but theres almost no games like this now. Its like a fresh breathe of air in a...

    PC Piracy at 95% according to UBISOFT.

    that 95% is probably coming from people cracking their own legit copy of the game so they could still play the game if their internet was down.

    Diablo 3 Discussion Thread

    I'm so sick and tired of people giving blizzard a break because "Diablo 2 wasnt great until LoD". Everything that made D2 great from the LoD expansion should absolutely be in a game that comes out after it. They spent way too much time trying to reinvent the wheel to simplify an already simple...

    PCI Express 2.0 vs 3.0 GPU Gaming Performance Review @ [H]

    Nice review. One thing that bothers me though with most reviews like this and other ones out there, almost none of them show 7680x1600. It almost always 5760x1200 or lower. Now I know that its a extreme resolution and more people probably have 5760x1200, but it would be nice to see that data. I...

    GTX 690 owner's experience

    For those that own one of these cards, is 1 of them able to handle lets say BF3 with max settings at 7680x1600? If not would 2 of them in quad sli be enough or would it be better to just get three 4gb 670/680 gtx's for Tri-Sli?

    Nvidia Surround and Sync Polarity How To

    A trick I had to do to get my monitors to sync up was to just manually set the refresh rate on each monitor. After I forced the refresh rate to lets say 60.01hz in the nvidia control panel it allowed me to go to the full 7680x1600 I could go up to.

    diablo 3 accounts hacked

    I think there may have been an attempt on my account earlier today but luckily I had an authenticator on it. When I tried to login it prompted me for an authentication code which only happens when logging in from a new location(my IP& location are still the same). It didn't surprised me though...

    Nvidia Surround Help

    Yeah I don't plan on playing all of my games at this max resolution or max settings but there are some games like eve online that played very well. Even on my one monitor i rarely used any form of AA so I won't take performance hits there. If I want everything maxed out with optimal performance...

    Issue with surround

    Sounds like you are having a similar problem I fixed yesterday. The timing of your monitors arnt syncing up. To fix it enable all displays then go to resolution section of nvidia control panel. Click on one of your monitors, click create custom resolution. Set the monitor to the resolution up...

    Nvidia Surround Help

    Problem Solved, now running at a beautiful 7680x1600. Only problem is bezel correction wont work properly. I solved this by creating custom resolutions/timing for my individual monitors with manual refresh rate of 60.001HZ. It then recognized that all 3 monitors had the same specs, thus allowing...

    Nvidia Surround Help

    All of my cables are the dual link dvi cables that came with the monitors . I managed to get my resolution to 7680x1600 with custom monitor drivers but I didn't get the timing right so nothing appeared on my 2 HP monitors

    Nvidia Surround Help

    yes i get an error if i go above or below the current surround resolution if the width is greater then 1 of my screens. I think I figured out what the problem is though, it has to do with the timing of each monitor. Under windows where you change the resolution it lists my dell monitor as a...

    Nvidia Surround Help

    When trying create a custom resolution in the control panel it won't let me. It see's that my individual screen's max resolution instead of the virtual surround resolution. Is there a config file where I can edit or any other way to force it?

    Nvidia Surround Help

    I recently acquired my 3rd 30" screen and 2nd 580GTX card and decided to run Nvidia surround. When I do so, it decided to run at an ultra low resolution. Each one of my monitors is capable of doing 2560x1600 so I was expecting a resolution of 7680x1600 but the max it will let me achieve while in...

    PC Battlefield 3 Lacks Key FPS Feature: No Ingame Server Browser.. Yes I'm serious.

    I was in the same boat as alot of you when I saw you had to launch through the browser during alpha but it works quite well. The ONLY thing that i ran into was it started my game minimized. Other than that I say it was just as fast if not faster than trying to switch servers in BC2. I could...

    What EA will lose if Battlefield 3 remains off Steam

    It makes me sad BF3 isn't on steam due to EA wanting 100% of the DLC money. Quite frankly as a PC gamer iv never given a shit about the DLC nonsense forced on us because of the console user base. If they spent more time finding different ways to promote origin rather than just omitting it from...

    150 Human-Animal Hybrids Grown in UK Labs

    Space Shuttle Reentering Earth's Atmosphere

    I agree with the spirit of what the government was wanting to do but they should have never done it the way they did. I'm all for retiring an old spacecraft but they should have had a cheaper & better spacecraft ready to replace it. That's like retiring all of our military jets because they are...

    EVE Online chaotic right now.

    I think everyone just needs to calm down and stop overreacting to the whole situation. Everyone is all concerned about them adding non-vanity items to the NeX Store and giving players a pay to win advantage. News Flash, you can already pay to win in eve ever since they implemented the PLEX...

    IMO nearly every recent PC FPS has been a console port. Whats the chance BF3 isnt?

    The problem with Arma2 is not the game itself. The problem is the expectation of people going into a military simulator thinking its going to be easy and nonstop action fps like the CoD/BF series. Of course your going to hate something when your thinking a simulator should play exaclty the same...

    EVE Online: CCP tells players that they won't fix the game

    I take you didn't take too kindly to the part where they said they wouldn't be able to devote a massive amount of resources towards improving lowsec and FW I take it. Other then those 2 items I can't really think of anything completely broken that they said they couldn't/wouldn't devote to for...
