This is not the way I remember playing this game. A new method is allowing use of the underwater moat door that you always wanted to go through, so the game can be defeated with only one Bowser key and zero stars.

I think quoting is screwing up once in awhile. Twice now, when I've quoted someone, it ended up being attributed to somebody else's post, and I've had to go back and edit. I was wondering how I could screw up a very simple procedure but I've seen it happen to at least one other person; Ducman69...

I've got a Fiio E6, which is a tiny little headphone amp that outputs 16mW when under a 300Ohm load, and 150mW under a 16Ohm load. I've been using it with a 15 foot long 3.5mm 22AWG extension cable from Monoprice and a pair of 25 Ohm IEMs with no problems. I needed to increase the length of the...

Windows 7 Update taking forever to find new updates? Here's how to fix it, at least until the next patchday (probably August 8). Thanks to Jim Kim for finding this. (source) Here's how to check whether or not you have an update already installed in Win7: 1. Open Windows Update control panel 2...

I am seeing a lot of assumptions being made that if a card is pulling more than 75W out of the slot, it is out of the PCI-E specs. Some are saying that if it ever goes above 75W, it's out of spec; others say if it averages above 75W, it's out of spec. But what do the specs actually say? I...

This is why you don't mine Bitcoin with GPUs anymore:

Microsoft just switched KB3133977 from "Optional" to "Recommended", so there's going to be a lot of people suddenly getting a Secure Boot Violation window when attempting to boot Windows 7. ASUS has issued a FAQ with a solution. Original thread here.

I'm dual booting Windows 10 on one SSD and Windows 7 on the other SSD; motherboard is the ASUS Sabertooth Z170. Secure Boot suddenly stopped working for Windows 7 but not for Windows 10. Today, on the Windows 7 install, a few updates came through on Windows Update: KB3138901, KB3139923...

Gamma is extremely high on my display and I don't understand why. Gamma was fine on WIndows 7. I just installed Windows 10 Pro, clean install of the retail version on a blank SSD. The monitor is a Dell U2515h; brightness is 20% and contrast is 50%, Dynamic Contrast turned off. Video card...

http://www.overclock3d.net/articles/gpu_displays/nvidia_pascal_titan_rumored_to_be_coming_as_early_as_april/1 Oh, what fun this rumor article is! Someone said somewhere that the next Titan card will be the fifth Titan, so the obvious name choice is Titan V, and that sounds so right.

EMET has been bypassed again, and this time it's really bad: "Duo said it reached out to Microsoft with its research and exploit, which was acknowledged. The issue, however, would likely require significant re-architecting of Windows with regard to the support of 32-bit applications on 64-bit...

The "Twitch in the Shelll" community is using Twitch to crowd-source an install of Arch Linux; every ten seconds, the most popular keystroke in the Twitch chat gets entered into an Arch Linux virtual machine. So, of course, along comes a botnet that managed to take over and do a partial...

Refer to xkcd's Car Model Names or this will make no sense. A better explanation of how the scores are calculated can be found in that comic's xkcd explained. For example, the GTX 980 is +27 -18 +126 -37 -67 +60 = 91 / 6 = 15.16 / 10 = 1.52 Using the same scores that xkcd uses for car model...

This seems worthy of its own thread. Is mda the first to ask Microsoft the right question? Source What Microsoft says about this on several of its web pages takes on new meaning when supplied with this context: "You have until July 29, 2016 to take advantage of this free upgrade...

A few selections from the 2.4.0 patch notes that sound a bit... odd if you read them aloud: - Characters who love their spouses very much are now less likely to join holy orders. - Paranoid parents should no longer worry about potential plots against dead children. - The lustful cabin can...

Surprise! Dishonored 2 was accidentally leaked into an open mic at E3, a day ahead of what is expected to be the official announcement.

In the Nvidia Control Panel, in the "Change Resolution" section, in the bottom right there is a "Output dynamic range" setting. Full is the 0-255 color space which you will definitely want on a PC, while Limited is the 16-235 color space meant for HDMI TVs which will make colors look all washed...

I've lately decided to use dark themes in Firefox. Previous to using Stylish, I tried using a regular dark Firefox theme, and wanted to make the about:blank page be black instead of white, since that is my home page; also, I have Firefox set to to switch to new tabs immediately, and whenever...

Spotted this on slashdot today. It can't be that easy, can it? "I've done it. I've downloaded a large file from a friend that was taking forever, i.e. in the realm of two hours total time. A half hour in or so, I got sick of it and we both had bandwidth to spare. On a whim, he moved it to a...

The Acer XB280HK is a 28" 60Hz 4K G-Sync TN, and will be available sometime in October. Unless another company unexpectedly beats them to the market, this will be the first 4K G-Sync monitor available. The MSRP is $800, which makes it an interesting competitor to the 27" 144Hz 1440p G-Sync...
