Well even most evil corporations sometime need rethinking of their stupid policy. It would be suicidal to M$ if they abandoned 7 or 8 on Skylake. Considering that both systems rack up about 70% of the MS-OS market - and if you not count gaming as $team surveys are meaningless - even more because...

Just take it from me. If you need to work (not game) stick with W7. If you run ANY kind of legacy software (by legacy I mean anything from DOS to .Net 4) stick with 7. If you want to remain sane - stick with 7 (or Linux or even Mac, just stay away from Disaster10). Spend multitude of hours...

Enterprise is IE pretty much by default. But you can make it more pleasant experience by installing SlimBrowser. Basically IE in drag which is nice. I tried many times to force my entry with different browsers but IE-engine is very often only supported thing. And to be honest I will pick old...

It just perfectly illustrates that all politicians are clueless gits which don't understand the world we live in.

On home PC certainly XP is not very dominant OS. But if you take and analyze data from industry then XP is still very potent player. I know that many e.g. hospitals still running intranet of XP and there are no plans to switch. I don't blame them.

At this moment in time it is really difficult to make heads or tails with storage options. Except venerable HDDs other things looks like in the state of flux. Next year should bring some really exciting stuff to the PC market. One thing I can't see myself using in any capacity at current price...

My guess is that at least 75% of these are made on purpose just to be acknowledged as worst PC setup ever. People do much dumber things for less than 5 minutes of "Fame". Same with this. I wonder who really does that because of some extreme situation (divorce/fire/flood/asteroid hit, etc..) in...

Seriously pics just made me sick. Whoever is the owner of this thing certainly used it as a vacuum cleaner not as a gaming device. Unfortunately they don't sell replaceable dirt bags for PS3 model...

Good luck Netflix and others (Hulu etc). Not watching much TV (about 20 min daily max literally with the stopwatch) and after couple days of trial on Netflix I felt even more depressed by what's on offer. Watched and recorded two documentaries and that's my contribution to Netflix hype. If...

Nuts. In a good and crazy-geek way. Good because it looks spectacular. Crazy-geek because it's crazy to run 8 SSD RAID0 array no matter how reliable drives these Samsung Pros are.

Good start for everybody concerned is to forfeit all but critical updates. Since that ninja GWX.exe (KB 30-whatever number can't recall right now) disaster rejecting all but critical is a prudent thing to do. Frankly I'm amazed that people which want to stay on 7 still fall into M$ trap of...

Yeah that is my primary concern. I know that APC UPS from Back-UPS series don't like active PFC one iota. Because of that I posted this. I was thinking about used nettop/book or something, the problem is - it has to be totally silent. I will sleep in the same room and last thing I want is...

Hi guys Would like to inquiry about something I wouldn't normally do. I know how PSU to UPS ratio works. I just want to avoid spending money if it can be avoided. Anyway I asking: I have small 300W UPS which is purely to support router 24/7/365. I do plan to create one very low power...

The most funny aspect of this whole FF-rant is that guy at some point states that Mozilla is all about choice for the user. Sorry... news flash Dear Chap. Last FF which given total control to the user was version 3.x.x. Since then FF turned into semi-chrome clone, just with different rendering...

Amazing how everybody know exactly who will benefit from this the MOST.;) Psychedelic Japanese tentacle-porn *cough* "creators" & junkies *cough*...

Yeah right, and also 640kB was supposedly enough for everybody... I don't believe a word coming from any corporation.

I find really surprising Gold Award. Bronze yes, Silver in some aspects, but not Gold by long stretch. There is plenty to like, but there are 2 things which are instant deal breakers for me. And I read it twice to find that there is no mention of it in the article. One: price [subjective item I...

To be honest I don't care what they will release as long as they finally release something. Intel is laughing it's blue ass off. Because of AMD they can in fact be monopoly on the market and trade organizations cannot sue them for creating monopoly because of tiny AMD CPU branch. AMD find...

+1 I approve. It's sad that many blokes just go there to see (or grope) gals. It's retarded that you can sell utter garbage but offer it on naked tits and instantly it becomes next best thing in the world.

It's kind of true. Hitler or Mao. What's the difference. Both killed millions. Both evil. Just like world most prominent patent troll.

WRONG! These are not security cameras. These are money making machines. Just get that right at the start. Thanks but no thanks. I will take a walk instead driving in such evil contraption.

Exactly my thoughts. Could be worse like former/current Apple patent troll...

All DLC is greedy corp stuff. Simplest example in the world CD Project Witcher I think was the game. They wanted free DLC add-ons (my brother plays series religiously). And went with that to Atari and bosses across ocean said something along the lines of: "no f* way you morons! DLC is...

Not interested in YT at all, and some vids linked at [H] are pretty much my only connection to that pointless site. As far I'm concerned YT can go up in smoke in the next 2 minutes. I won't cry, lose any sleep or live in despair because of it.

I know it didn't worked for me. Already did that 4 years ago (although not on purpose). Landed in hospital for few days. Still hate math... :D

Well as far I'm concerned all AIO have the same problem. Tubing. Too short. Would additional 3-5 cm on each hose hurt performance (or price?) so badly?! Tried mount few (Corsair included) in server case from Lian Li D-8000. Good luck, considering the space. In the end dumped everything and...

If only Swiftech's availability in Europe was something better than 'unmitigated disaster'. I would buy it but importing it+customs = prohibition. No go issue at the moment. :runningincirclescrying:

Of course pretty much everybody is IT hoarder in very broad sense. Every single person has some ancient files, programs, etc.. It's one example of hoarding which is good. After few years you need that one tiny file to prove something, to speed up work, or whatever else... and you're happy that...

Exactly my thoughts. Raid 5 today is like grenade with it's pin hanging by a thread... For working on arrays - RAID 10 all the way - or simple RAID 1 (& mentioned StableBit) for home-archive environments. RAID5 is madness with massive HDDs of today. If any RAID6/60 is another viable option...

Lame. I will never forget LA and Disney that they decided to abandon Expanded Universe and go back to some silly stories. Jar Jar Abrams is defo #1 on my hit list for crimes against sci-fi & Humanity. To be deprived of job by any means necessary and his fucked up version of Trek (and surely SW -...

"I’m Terrified of My New Smart TV" Well first thing that spring to mind is South Park and that super-duper-uber high-tech TV Chef bought that started exterminating people. And next certainly 1984... That's prime reason why no TV of mine is ever (&never) connected to the net.

I see no point in upgrading from X58 right now, but I want to say one thing about this particular board. Asus crammed tons of interesting features and they spoiled everything with useless Realtek audio. Seriously why they bother at all? Give user a choice and leave that area blank (better...

To be honest I was skeptical about H-E, and now it's out I don't care anymore. It's beast in HT environment but not much else. H-E does not offer performance jump we had between C2D/Q and i7920. I don't run classical benchmarks which tell nothing. If I want to see how good CPU is at gaming I...

If it goes mainstream then it is pure win-win. However I will believe when I see it.

OK it is not THAT bad. Not a fan of AMD at all, always pick NVIDIA for work/gaming/everyday use, still... There is one field where AMD trounces NVIDIA by few galaxy lengths and that is: Bitcoin mining. 2x 7990 are simpler to manage than 4x 7970 and if somebody can afford 4x 7990 then he/she...

Just wondering, how hot are top 2 cards. Probably cooking at nasty 100C. We definitively need more cases with 15-16 PCI slots (well one would be a good start! C'mon Silverstone where is that TJ-12 monster?) to put some air between GPUs. Raisers/extenders cost peanuts, why no manufacturer see a...

One of the games I will never buy. Sick and tired of being treated as a thief. Buying only DRM free stuff. And if I feel that I need Sim City then firing-up timeless SimCity2000.

Waiting for working 3D brain. There is plenty of people I can think of which will benefit... politicians, lawyers, religious zealots

I hope that they will send $team packing. It is worst parasite of PC game market.Lately Newell said something about Apple. How bad they are when compared to PC. Well simply put, Steam/Valve is Apple of PC world. User has no freedom at all. Starting with trivial things like choosing you own...

Guy is spot on. Nothing more, nothing less. Maybe I will buy tablet... if it has the power of my current Nehalem system. Only then I will consider purchase.
