    HP Holds Navy Network ‘Hostage’ for $3.3B

    Or he has a phenomenal contract lawyer who slipped excellent clauses for renegotiation/mediation into the document. Contrary to your self-held belief, you might not know everything about every case of contractual law. Your pathetic attempt to denigrate people who work as "just manual labor"...

    16-Year-Old Accuses Mom of Facebook Slander

    I read the effing article, my brother; I meant emancipated in the sense of guardianship rights, which the article never mentions. Even if she didn't have guardianship rights when all this happened I still take her side in this case. Matronly authority should know nearly no bounds. There is a...

    16-Year-Old Accuses Mom of Facebook Slander

    Until he turns 18 or is emancipated from her she is fully within her rights to do that. Changing things around and stuff definitely won't help much b/c it just makes the kid super pissed and then it's back to square one really, but she is totally allowed to do it. There are too many adults that...

    Tom's Hardware Sold

    Sorry to double post, couldn't find the edit button. Any takers as to the OCP challenge? Obviously Steve knows, but I checked most of your guys' join dates in this thread they come up lacking. If you win the challenge I will present a second question, mostly regarding the type of HS/F...

    Tom's Hardware Sold

    What does this even mean? Seriously? Just because he read articles here, doesn't make them informative. If you can't see the difference here it's because your middle school English teachers failed. Whatever, don't blame it on him. To Steve: I pretty much stopped reading the site when you...

    Tom's Hardware Sold

    I've been here awhile, longer then my join date suggests. How many of you actually know what OCP even stands for? Or how many of you know what the Unreal Framerate Comparison Page was? Just wondering. I remember these things. It was solely due to Kyle that I bought a BH6 and 300A, I likes my...

    Gateway FPD2485W - 24" HD LCD

    This morning when I turned my computer on, the Gateway logo stayed on top of screen all through boot up. Then when it got into windows the DVI box was just sitting there and the display kept flicking to black every 3 or 4 seconds. I turned it off with the button and back on again, but it got to...

    Gateway FPD2485W - 24" HD LCD

    This leads me to believe something is wrong with mine, the screen itself is about 4 times as hot as the back is, maybe more. The back is just kind of warm, but the screen is super hot.

    Gateway FPD2485W - 24" HD LCD

    I may try this. Your guys' are seriously just warm? I've asked numerous people to feel the screen of mine and they all agree that it is remarkably hot. Seeing as my ghosting only gets really bad once it heats up, this seems like a good route. Mine is a Jan 07 manufacture date btw. I...

    Gateway FPD2485W - 24" HD LCD

    My monitor is so hot if I left the back of my hand on the screen for a few minutes it would probably cause minor burns. I'm not kidding. I'll see if I can dig up an IR thermometer to see just how hot it gets. The back doesn't really get very hot at all, its just the front. I bought the panel...

    Gateway FPD2485W - 24" HD LCD

    Holy crap, you replied to my post in ten minutes! Are you paid to monitor this thread and provide quick posts in support of a horrible product? :rolleyes: Anyway to get down to it, the ghosting on these monitors is beyond appalling. I have a 19" VX922 parked right next to it for comparison...

    Gateway FPD2485W - 24" HD LCD

    I just finished reading all 96 pages of this thread, and I've come to only two conclusions. I hate Ferris. My monitor ghosting cannot be fixed without buying a new monitor. Awesome. I'll explain myself a little better in about 3 hours. These elevations don't draw themselves you know. ta ta.

    FPD2485W "Inverted" Ghosting SURVEY

    I get the ghosting, HORRIBLY. I am nearly finished reading through the 96 page monster, hoping a fix was found. All of the posts by the people who "don't get the ghosting" telling us to stfu about it is high uncalled for. It IS happening, jesus. The first thing that clued me into it was playing...

    Xbox 360 Hits 10.4 Million Shipped?

    Not surprised, shipping and selling are two very different figures. Everywhere I go I see multiple huge piles of X360's just sitting there. Microsoft could prolly stop shipping them entirely and stores would still have enough in stock to last three to six months.

    Ageia's PhysX Needs a Killer App @ [H] Enthusiast

    In regards to everyone complaining about bandwidth. The whole point of the PhysX card is that the server DOES NOT have to send the movement data on all the objects to the clients. Jesus Christ that is what the card is for! The only reason no one can get past this is b/c there hasn't been a game...

    I have a big feeling ATI will not be able to 2X performance

    Wow really? FiringSquad: At the higher setting, the new cooler is loud, but not FX Flow loud. Whereas FX Flow’s motor contributed to a lot of the fan’s noise, this isn’t the case for the 6800 Ultra’s cooler. Instead the noise you hear is the whooshing sound of air moving at a very high...

    NV40 Cannot Be Downplayed: As Big A Jump As The 9700 Pro...

    You are a damn smart individual. Please stop your city from walling off its Favelas!

    My take on the NV40 vs. R420. The facts summed up.

    R420 will have VS3.0, just not full PS3.0. As far as displacement mapping goes, my 9800Pro can do that, albeit not at NV40 speeds. What makes you think the r420 wont be able to?

    could this be the down fall of ATi?

    I finally got to see Desert Combat running side by side next to my friends 5900NU flashed to a Gigabyte F1 5950U. He has a 2.4c at 3.2, 1gig of PC4000 DDR. I have a Thorton unlocked and at 2490MHz, 512 Megs of PC2100. So with half the ram and about half as fast, I looked at my friends computer...

    R420 12 Pipelines

    There are such crazy rumors going around now. NV40 steppings A0/A1/A2 are supposedly fully functional, but NV's 210 mil trans chip isnt working yet. What does that tell you? I think nV is scared shitless and tried clamping extra pipes into an already bloated core. :confused:

    R420 12 Pipelines

    What the hell are you talking about? The R300 was 8x1(9700)/or 4x1(9500). Where is the base 3 part?

    A bad trend with GFFX series cards and developers?

    You can't even run a GF2GTS in PS1.1 mode. *edit* END: That's what nVidia has been saying for years now. It's up to you how long you will continue to believe them.

    Time to set this to rest Micah, 9600 XT vs 5900 nu

    I look at my friends 5900nu flashed to 5950s running Desert Combat at 1280x1024 4xAA 2xAF, then i look at my 9800 Pro running at 415/380; 1280x1024 4xAA 16xAF, yep i'll take mine .:D

    Maxtor 160gig 8mb $28.99

    So what's the deal with this deal? Is it still valid or what? What do you have to go about to get the $28.99 price?
  35. I

    I'm in a real bind now... :(

    You can get really good deals if you look around. Just recently there was a 9800NP for $129, and a 9700NP for $115. Both new, from a pretty reputable site.

    BFG5900non ultra or a 9700pro?

    PowerVR.... Just a new XGI or something more?

    Nvidia dumping Abit?

    Maybe, but it doesn't balance out losing ABIT.

    Is there any reason to buy a Nvidia card over ATI?

    Dont forget, 9800 Pros overclock also. Everyone harps one getting the 5900NU and OC'ing it. My little brother and I both got 9800 Pros for x-mas, his hits 465/390, mine hits 420/390. Both with stock coolers, with AS2 applied. His at 465 is the fastest thing I've ever seen. I'm going to get a VGA...
