https://veracrypt.codeplex.com/ forked from TrueCrypt and under active support. Multiple platform support, etc.

I imagine you'd say the same thing about OS X, which I did. It took a while to get used to it, and now it's fine. I'd still take Windows over it, and Linux over that. And you don't need to be a programmer. Sheesh.

For me, I figure all the naysayers are generally just used to using Windows. It came on your computer. It's what your games run on. There's exactly one choice. And you know what? That's fine. I make my living on LInux and it's made me a hell of a lot more money than if I would have been a...

I've use (and am currently employed using it) Linux since the early nineties, and I'm disappointed with where things have gone with both Gnome 3 and KDE 4. They're both unusable in my opinion. Maybe it's because they're pretty far from the paradigm I'm used to, but I don't care honestly. I've...

As someone who has to work on Itanium (I've done Linux, HP-UX, and Windows), I WISH it would go away. I've not seen a whole lot of benefit to it at all.

And what happens when Intel blows into the market with Light Peak and it's 10Gbps bandwidth? I'm hoping that USB 3 will just hang off of that (crosses fingers).

Rescue on Fractalus! Most of you have probably never heard of it, but here's a link to a youtube video of it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FbZ-chrOgGg

Absolutely positively NOT that. That's Empire Strikes Back. I'm talking about a game where you were actually sitting IN the cockpit. You viewed things in first person. You'd fly trough canyons and such, looking for stranded pilots, and would land to pick them up. They'd run toward you in...

Damnit Tetrahedron, I had made my picks, then saw your Galaga mention....that's definitely my favorite ever.

I'm with Mystkmax and Freezebyte. LoadRunner was one of the best games ever. X-wing was definitely up there. As for "mutli-player", M.U.L.E. rules all. Silly whippersnappers!

Ok, so I know this totally dates me, but when I was a teenager, I was bit into the Atari 8-bit scene...yes, even the "pirate" scene back in the day (which was a giant sneaker-net). Do any of you remember a Star Wars game where you flew a Snow Speeder type of craft and landed to pick up...

That's pretty disenginious. It's completely independent company of Clearwire as well, only named Clearwire. If they're honest, Sprint is the real money/ingenuity behind this endeavour.

$9 for shipping on a video card? Seriously? I want to say some awful things, but I want to keep my account too.

Honestly at_viper, I'm out of ideas. Generally, the tube tv's are harder to get the right resolution on. For example, mine's native resolution is 1300something by 640something. It's tough to figure out. I'd just as soon get rid of the thing and get an LCD and move on. Computers on tube TVs is...

Can you set the resolution to 1920x1080 now?

Remove the vga while it's connected to the television. You may be causing problems by presenting multiple paths.

RGB is probably the component cables, in which case, take the adapter that should have come with your video card and plug that in to the video card, then into the component input of the television.

I guess then I'd try switching it to 16x9 and see what you can come up with. If the NVidia drivers can't see the televisions native resolution though, it might be tricky. Honestly I'm out of ideas. Just try everything you can think of. Keep in mind though, 800x600 is still better than 480p...

Is there an option to connect via DVI or (doubtful) HDMI?

In the NVIDIA control panel, if you go to the Display drop down , then to Change Resolution, does it actually see the Zenith TV? For instance, I have a 30" Sony HDTV, and it shows as Sony TV. Do you get something similar?

Ugh, adding in shares is a bitch. Try every iteration you can think of of forward slashes, backslashes, etc. I have to guess every single time I set the silly thing up. Sound like I don't like the program? Well, I do, but whoever wrote the smb sharing interface should really, and I mean REALLY...

Considering that the television is 4x3 HDTV (what a bastard of a format, no? Would be the only way my wife would accept an HDTV, the luddite), I'm guessing the native resolution is 600p based on the specs I looked up. 800x600 very well may be the native resolution. As far as 1080i, please...

Just to add a second to serbiaNem, you're perfectly fine for DVD and standard def. Considering how loud some of the old fans were, you might look at investing a few dollars to silence some of the older stuff, but otherwise you're fine.

No, sorry, that doesn't work.

Where's Adobe to sue the fuck out of Gotuit for their patent infringement on Flash?

You need a netflix account too.

No additional cost to GOLD members. I have no need of Live at all. Never have, never will. So this is a non-starter for me. I guess I'll keep right on watching through the PC using the vmcNetflix plugin.

http://www.newegg.com/product/product.aspx?item=N82E16813157122 I've got one of these running an e8400. Supports x-fire and has been absolutely stable. It also has a pretty decent feature set, with support for DDR2 AND DDR3. Not sure exactly what newegg is doing on the listing as they're...

I ran it yesterday on Ubuntu 7.10 32bit using regular Wine. I didn't turn anything off after copying it from my Windows partition, and didn't notice any visual differences. Seems to run just as fast as in Windows. The main reason I haven't transitioned completely is because of Ventrilo...

I'd just like to reiterate that TFC was not the original. This mod seems to be capturing the spirit of the original Team Fortress mod for Quake. TF was way better than TFC in my opinion. Also, someone mentioned that it's a "community mod", so may not be as good. Guess what Team Fortress...

Turok - sigh. What was I thinking? Quake 3 & 4 - much disappointment after Q1 & 2. Doom 3 - ditto Q3 & 4 EQ2, AC2, SWG, DaoC, HORIZONS(!@!!!!!@#$!), Vanguard, LotRO, WoW - The only MMO I've ever really like, looking back on it, was EQ1. I think that as partially because there was nothing...

I think HE is the one that needs to go back and do some research. Sure, there are a lot of big and small companies involved in making open source software what it is, but there's thousands of individuals contributing too. If the end product of a software development team from one of these...

My 2GB usb drive from Microcenter has been working fine.

DirecTV is now on a lease plan. You lease the boxes. You can probably still buy them from third parties and they'll work though. As for the tuner to put in your machine: 2008. They are being made by Vbox, and are in the inital beta phase. I'm hoping and praying they won't be as restricted...

Media Portal. Just turn off the TV part in the setup. http://www.team-mediaportal.com

The customer service side of the business at Sprint makes me embarrased to say I've worked for them for over six years. Those of us on the back end really do try hard. I just don't understand how the customer facing side of the business can possibly be so bad. If you can get the deal, go...

Well anyway, as you can see by CrimandEvil and I going back and forth, you'd best do some research about what you decide to buy. I've never run into the issues he's mentioned, but that doesn't mean they're not out there. From everything I've heard, the ATI-550 (and I think 650 now?) have...

Works fine on mine. But hey, at least he's got two boards he can try. I'm really not sure what driver issues you're talking about with the Hauppage cards. Is it limited to the 500? I've got a 250, 250MCE, and 150 all running in Windows, used both for MCE and BeyondTV with no issues...

Well never mind what he has, and to hell with his budget. Let's just get him to get all new stuff, because Hauppage sucks, Via sucks, etc. Not to mention, he didn't mention anything about wanting it to run MythTV. Via is fine. It's not like you're going to max out even a slower Via...

Donar is right about the difference between the 150 and the 150MCE.
