    Carmakers Can't Use The DMCA To Make Working On Your Car Illegal

    Actually most dealers these days at some point will update an ECU's settings to fix or improve certain issues. I know BMW has done it on some to get better gas mileage and better transmission control, Many brands do this for something as simple as the idle needing to be set higher for weather...

    Gates: Don’t Try to Be a Billionaire, It’s Overrated

    If you knew anything about Bill Gates you would know he was a Porsche guy. :p Besides I believe he still daily drives a ford focus. If you read what he said, he doesn't say money isn't needed. He just says that much beyond a million dollars it is all the same for him at least. I mean a...

    Could BFBC2 have been branded as BF3?

    . No way to call out for medic/ammo Hit Q while aiming at an assault teammate and it will call for ammo Yes this is so much easier than hitting a button and calling for ammo so that they can just hear you. I want to track down a medic or support(whoops assault) guy from across the map and then...

    Could BFBC2 have been branded as BF3?

    I feel like it is the little things that let you know that this is just a console version of the BF franchise. The lack of spotting No commander Limited weapons No way to call out for medic/ammo No UAV/Scans Small simplistic squads helicopters are nerfed damage wise Funky controls...

    Need to build 12 Systems, Please Help!

    Tbh I would tell your friend to save all of this money put it in a mutual fund and he would have a better chance at getting rich compared to this business idea. I have seen at least 3 or 4 of these all fail within a year due mostly to the fact that upkeep is crazy expensive, people don't want to...

    Running BF2 without reinstalling

    Not always, I have had good luck with games like warcraft3 and ea racing games that whenever I reformat or move the folder to a new computer they work just fine. Bf2 on the other hand does have all of your settings I believe in the my documents section but it would just be better to reinstall...

    Having issues with m0n0wall

    I am honestly surprised the network is even working at all with them both having the same gateway address and both with DHCP on. You don' t have to worry about forwarding the ports for the interenet as those should be open anyways.. you should only need forwarding for special applications for...

    PC parts for sale for some awesome school books

I would prefer paypal and my only reference would be intel131 on ebay. I will add the pictures once I can get...

    Why are so many hoping for a "BF2 killer" game?

    My biggest problem with EA is there server system. Becuase of stats and only getting stats on official servers there are no well known custom maps. What does this mean you have to play the same freaking map over and over again unless you can find an unranked server that happens to have custom...

    How do you learn how to read hex dump?

    We had to learn how to read dumps like that for the IBM assembler class I took. You would use the dump of your registers and memory locations to figure out what your program was doing wrong. It wasn't the greatest but after debugging so much you get used to it.

    is there gonna be a new TRIBES game?

    TV died due to lack of punkbuster/anti cheat, server side memory leaks, and lack of good modification tools. T2 sucked early on and then the community/patches made it a lot more fun. (our clan still has 70 person matches every month or two). I mean defenseturret/ and the better base++ or...

    Trying to learn the WASD Controls.

    ESDF was engrained in me pretty well from Tribes 2.. have to have the right mouse button for jetting but the extra keys you can click on the left are a life saver for all the extra stuff you could do. A would toggle zoom while the scroll wheel would change the zoom or change weapons depending on...

    What Did You Love About Tribes 2?

    The only reason why T2 survived was the great gaming community who saved the game by updating the play style a bit and putting in cheat detection etc. Overall the game was ahead of its time with the clan system in place. It is probably still my favorite game to play and our clan still plays...

    DreamPC2006 !!!! (Dial-up users beware: 1600x1200 pics)

    Could you at least remove some of the pics that are really out of focus. Everything seems fine except the monster cables stuff is kinda a rip and a half, those cables alone probably cost more then my motherboard and processor.

    Problem with a flat screen

    I have been given a 14 inch flat screen without the power supply. The biggest problem is the fact that it seems the company that made it is out of business. It is basically unbranded but the model number is L41T and was made in 1998 by Dixie which seems to be another name for a Jap company...
