MobileME is still not up and running, despite Apple's announcement at 2am PST on July 9th that the service was coming up.
It's been an up and down rollercoaster for the service, and it's still not working.
Just imagine the headlines it will make if it's not working tomorrow when the...
Search continues to yield results from 2:08am PST. it is currently 3:20am.
Going to the forum landing page shows similar, despite the fact that I've been posting.
I'm wondering if the forums are ever gonna be fixed. Seems like there have been off and on problems for a LONG time. :( Or...
When I check for new posts, it shows the "newest" post to the forums as being on 5/9/08 at 832am PST. It's now 5/11/08 137am PST. Weird.
Checking in the Front Page News forum, it shows some topics as having 0 posts when there are several posts in them.
Anyone else seeing this??
...by Novalogic?? Just wondering if there were any other [H] lurking about in Novaworld. :p
It first came out at Typhoon Rising, and then the "Escalation" expansion pack. And then they were merged into one and re-sold as Joint Operations: Combined Arms.
Some industrious folks made come...

I really hope they update the Mac Pro. I've been waiting quite a while. I can't bring myself to spend $2499+ on a machine with year and a half old video cards in it.
If it's just the new iMacs I'm gonna be pretty pissed. August 7th also marks the one year anniversary of the Mac...
I do, and I like it.
Except for the fact that the only way to get it working properly is to have the receiver plugged into the front USB ports on my Stacker. I don't like it sticking out front. Besides that, the front of the case is close to my chair and I have banged into the receiver on...
Ok,
I've got a few games, but the one I enjoy the most is Novalogic's Joint Ops - Typhoon Rising and the Escalation expansion pack.
Game is fully patched. The required "Punkbuster" thing is loaded. My rig specs are in my sig - plenty o power for this game, and then some....

Hello all.
First, let me run down the specs of my hardware and the hardware specs of this spare box I was able to get from the computing lab.
Rigs:
First, my main rig's specs are in my sig.
Second, Powerbook 12" with wireless G
Spare Box:

Hi. Ok, I finally got around to moving my rig from the right side of my computer desk to the left side. In doing so, the rig is now between my entertainment center and my computer desk, so I could hook up my computer to my 37" LCD HDTV.
Right now, I'm using DVI into the tv, and the "front...
Ok,
So just like last time with Beta II, I chose "Burn Image" in Nero and selected the WinRAR file for 5536. Burned it at 12x. The disc wont work. Only thing that shows up is a text file called "Readme" which says:
This disc contains a "UDF" file system and requires an operating...
Ok, a friend of mine built his first system some months ago. Initially, his brother was going to come over and help him build it. He was a little nervous about building a system. But his brother had to leave after 20 minutes. So, he ended up calling me and I talked him through the process...
Greetings,
FINALLY upgraded my rig to the specs in my sig. Im using the Omega drivers based off of the Cat 5.1's. Opted for Omega because I do not, never wanted, and never will want the Catalyst Control Center. I haven't OC'd my X1800XT yet. It's cooled with a Danger Den Maze4. No...
Ok, so my loop is all put together, using 7/16 tubing over 1/2 barbs and using worm clamps, just to be safe. Everything was fine until I noticed some leaking from the rad. Oh brother.
I've got a 77 Bonneville core that has worked flawlessly for a year and a half. I am in the process of...
Unbelieveable. Finally get all my parts in on Friday. Test bench the system on air out of the case and all is fine. Start building the loop today. Well, the Storm block gets bolted on to to mobo so I'll have to mount that in the case to get the right lengths. Ok. Now on to removing the...
Re-doing my loop in conjunction with an upgrade to AMD. Parts in the loop:
Swiftech Storm block 1/2"
77 Bonneville Heatercore
Maze 4 GPU
Swiftech MCP 600 pump
trashing my res in favor of a t-line
Last tubing I used was 1/2 ID, don't remember the OD. I just know it was thick. Sure...
Anyone who has removed their stock HSF from an X800XT or X850XT.... One of the screws on mine basically stripped when I took it off a while back. Now I'm selling the card to a friend and need to get another screw to get that HSF back on!!!!
Can anyone verify the width as ??? and the length...
I'm gathering parts to overhaul the rig in my sig.
In my possession now I have:
AMD 3800+X2 CDBHE 0526UPBW (Fleabay find.. :D )
Seasonic S12 600 PSU (version 2.0) already sleeved with blue uv (PITA!)
Swiftech Storm waterblock

Western Digital 400 GB SATA 150 HDD for $239.99 + 20.00 rebate + 30.00 rebate = $189.99 (plus tax of course). Without tax that's .48 cents/gig.
I looked at a few of the boxes at the serial numbers of the drives. Only one said...
Just got back from Best Buy. Got two spindles for $17.22 after tax. Not bad, considering these 25 packs usually go for $15.00 a piece. Ends 12/3, so if you need some blank DVD+R's, better hurry.
I have had very good results with these DVD's. Don't want to say much more, as to jinx myself...
Built a server for class, and next week is when we'll be getting to start the networking and such. It;s got one 80 gig HDD, and I stupidly made the C drive 3.5 gigs and left the rest as free space. Needless to say, after the initial install and subsequent updates and the service pack, there is...
My new Powerbook is almost a week old now ,and I've since imported my Outlook Express contact, and copied and installed my Internet Explorer favorites into Safari, and am using the tabbed browsing. Needless to say, I am very impressed so far at how EASY this thing is to use. It's ridiculous...

Well,
Now that I have your attention........... I think I'm going to need a laptop for school. My handwriting isnt worth crap, and I can type faster than I can write. I'm thinking something light, small, that wont be a burden carrying to/from class/library.
Only thing is, besides an...
I've been trying to get on the Joint Ops servers, and I'm having SERIOUS problems. When it gets to the page where it displays all the game servers, the whole page stutters constantly, along with mouse movement. It's like trying to play a game with some old crappy video card or something...
Well, I've had it since Saturday, but been too lazy to post the pics. I'm really happy because, this thing is HARD to come by. My fiancee went through two cancelled orders (out of stock) before she found this thing.
I bought a blue UV sleeving kit and molex and ATX pin removers to tidy up...
So I read the linked article on the front page about WD's new drive.......
From TheTech Report:
Figured it warrants some discussion. Performance seems really good. Their omission of support for the new SATA standard is puzzling, even though it has been proven that the new...
Well,
My birthday is right around the corner and my finacee is pestering me as to what I want. Still haven't made my mind up on a new NF4 board, and I'm also waiting for ATI's R520 before I overhaul my rig......... I'm thinking of telling her to get me the Seasonic S12-600 PSU and probably...
DougLite,
So I just read the front page news link about the SATA 2.5 spec coming online in Novermber. Since some of the features mentioned are already present in the SATA II spec, do you think we will be looking at a chipset driver update to bring motherboards up to SATA 2.5 standards, or is...
Lookng in my Serice Control Manager today, I see tons of entries of this dt0cb28d service as having a start control succeffuly sent to it. What the hell is it? Is this some sort of virus or bot or something?? A google search yielded nothing, and neither did a search on Microsoft. I don't...

Enjoy!
Ok, (***YES. I DID use the search function first :p )
I think I'm getting antsy. I just don't know if ATI is going to deliver a stellar card that will offer new and unseen features, and beat the 7800GTX in terms of quality, etc.... I've been waiting and waiting for R520...
I just received a pop-up message from Norton saying basically what's in the thread title. It also informed me that I need to uninstall NAV and then reinstall it again.

Hello all.
I experienced the wireless dropouts with large file transfers. Eventually upgraded to the 4.50 one floating around with the high clock rate.
I've got one hard-wired desktop and one wireless Shuttle. First off, either one or the other can get on WinMx, but not both. I've got...
Seems like there have only been a sprinking of sites to review this new chip. So far I've had to bounce around ocforums and Xtreme forums to find out what this chip is capable of (OC). I'd like to know if this chip suffers from the same poor heat transfer onto the IHS, and if it has problems...
I recently upgraded to a Raptor as my main drive for the OS and games. My original setup was two WD80JB's in a RAID 0, with an additional WD160JB as storage for video work/large files, image backups.
Once I upgraded to the Raptor, I put an image of the C drive, and an image of the Games...
Ok, title says it all.
I've been reading the reviews and have determined that the 4400+ is the best bang-for-the-buck feature and performance-wise, although NONE have come down in price yet. I plan to do a complete rig overhaul after the R520 comes out, so I'll be moving to PCI-Express...
Read all about it. I got a notice this morning from TWC informing me I may be affected by an ongoing Class Action lawsuit. It seems that some people got together and decided it was an unfair practice for TWC to charge a fixed cost per month for using their cable modem, but even worse because...
