Terrible book. I picked it up and the darn thing wouldn't close. I couldn't stop reading it until I was done. Tried to go to bed a few times and had to get back up and keep reading. Super addictive. Avoid if you value your life. Seriously though, anyone who grew up in the 80s (myself) and...

I had a Sony 32 inch Widescreen TV for years as my main living room TV. That thing was a BEAST to move and was VERY front heavy. Was always terrified it would topple forward and crush someone. Once my first child started walking and pushing stuff that TV was disposed of. When I was in...

What about the headrest? You left that completely off! Did I miss Kyle swearing off the headrest somewhere while skipping the "light action" parts?

OMG this. I actually LOVE How it's made. I tend to watch it to wind down if I'm all excited for some reason (like just finished watching Game 7 of the World Series and really need to get to sleep soon). Lay down, put on How it's made, and I swear I can't ever stay awake long enough to finish...

While the video was really cool to watch, some of the other stuff this guy has done is even more impressive. Thanks for sharing that source website!

I like both. Zhaif 4 Laif /flex

If anyone would RTFA, you'd realize the shift from MP4 to MKV only affects people in the SD release scene. People downloading HD releases have been getting MKV for years already.

This list is not representative of my PC frustrations for sure. About the only one that I can relate to is 10 because I spent a lot of time using RDP in Windows, and combining latency from a WAN connection with window edges that seem to be off, it can get frustrating trying to resize windows to...

I recently installed Win7 SP1 from media on 2 new builds in my house. The process was a complete nightmare. The 2 identical PCs reacted very differently to the process, which amazes me. It took probably 3-4 days before I installed the final update. Both machines broke multiple times (click...

I saw a video just a few days ago about how a speedcuber sees a high speed solve. Rather helpful for the uninformed. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jcv4ePMPN_U This is still one of the most widely used and popular strategies for speedcubing. Requires a well lubricated cube that's designed...

First of all, I don't view my toons as avatars being representations of myself in a game. They are characters in a pretend world in a video game. I have a variety of classes, races, and sexes. The game is more interesting experiencing it with unique variations. IMO this whole concept...

No way, my TI-82 had plenty of asm games to play. Spaze Invaders was def one of my favorites though. Awesome game and great challenge. Also played a lot of Ztris and Slippy/Sokoban. Also got to spend a lot of time writing asm programs/games myself. Good learning experience.

I bought a Razer Naga Hex when it came out and quickly found out i needed this cloud based software driver to customize my button mapping (beyond the NumPad or 1-6 setup). I sucked it up and attempted to use their software, but ran into one very serious issue that needed to be fixed...

Nice pants!

This car may know the layout of the course, which is no different than a professional racer. However, the car itself determines the fastest lines, and then calculates how to aggressively push that line to the limits without going over. This isn't pre-programmed maneuvers. The software is...

Wow that author has no idea what a scary game is.Here's my list of games that I refused to play late at night, in the dark, alone... D (Sega Saturn) - I was younger when this came out and so its influence on me is stronger. This was simply a game I couldn't play at night alone in the dark...

I couldn't play Starcraft II single player once for 3 days because Blizzard had some issues with their SCII authentication servers. When a game won't let me play a stinking single player mode without connecting to THEIR servers, I get pretty hot. There's no good excuse for screwing a...

I played EQ. I disliked it very much. I tried WoW during the open beta and immediately fell in love with the game. I REALLY did enjoy the Warcraft lore much better than Everquest's lore. Let's just call that a personal preference, I'm not going to say one is better than the other. In the...

I've had 2 WoW accounts for 18 months now and haven't paid a dime for them. Get a WoW Visa, use it for everything, pay it off every month, and you too can have a "free" WoW account. :-) I used to be a person who HATED the idea of paying monthly subs for an MMO. When WoW came out, I gave in...

Am I the only one wondering what a "Missle" is?

It's Riverside, not Riverside City. I live in the Dayton area and nobody around here calls it Riverside City. It's amazing to believe people try to follow through with such an ad. At what point does your common sense alarm go off and wonder if it's too good to be true. Oh wait, I said the...

Pick Me!

IANAL, but from what I read neither of these cases were TRULY about the legality of making DVD rips. These 2 companies were both companies who had contractual licenses with the DVD CCA group to produce software that was allowed to decrypt CSS strictly for the purpose of displaying the movie on...

Another dumb user who forgot to send in registration card for the lifetime warranty (learned that lesson) :rolleyes: I'm itching badly to get back into gaming and not sure I want to wait to see what Jan 15 holds. Besides, not looking for a leader in performance, I want to keep my price down...

I used Vista for nearly a year on a brand new work laptop. I ended up disabling UAC and Aero to try to make it as fast/smooth as possible. It was still sluggish and the amount of functionality I lost in Vista made me really, REALLY dislike it. Well last weekend I finally reformatted my...

I thought that video looked familiar. This video was released in August of 2007 at SIGGRAPH. http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/31/researchers-develop-a-360-degree-holographic-display/ Old news. sheesh.

I went to Buy.com, added something to my cart worth at more than $80. Then chose Google Checkout like you are going to buy it. Sign into your GC account and you should see a coupon if you are eligible. I have 2 GC accounts, my first one only gave me $10 off, but I tried my 2nd one and I had a...

Great time to find this coupon. Was just about to order an E8400 from the egg at $209. Got it from Buy.com for $190 with this coupon, free shipping. Thanks OP!

OK, thought I could edit that. Anyway, my fav April fools was the following new Wii game, complete with demonstration video. Can't wait to teach my 5 yo how to play this one! http://www.thinkgeek.com/stuff/41/superpiipii.html

Over 3.7 MILLIONS views. Ouch.

Company of Heroes: GotY edition $19 - $10 GC + Free shipping = $9 http://www.buy.com/prod/company-of-heroes-game-of-the-year-edition/q/loc/108/205502802.html CoH: Opposing Forces $27 - $10 GC + Free shipping = $17...

Just use a different email address for each google checkout account. Worked for me many times.

So much misinformation and misinterpretation in your responses so far... Correct me if I'm wrong, but it looks like this settlement has already been reached and agreed upon between these two parties. The only thing left appears to be a final hearing and finalization of the settlement by the...

Just so happens, Outpost has the SATA version also for $109, but shipping is not free. http://shop2.outpost.com/product/4551377

The deal is now online, free shipping for orders over $24. http://www.circuitcity.com/ssm/Half-Life-2-Episode-One-PC/sem/rpsm/oid/152114/rpem/ccd/productDetail.do Yeah, unfortunately I didn't jump on the HL2 bandwagon as WoW was coming out and I knew I wouldn't get my $$$ worth on HL2...

This price doesn't seem to be available for online purchase, but their ads definitely reflect the $10 price so perhaps it's only in-store. I haven't actually verified this first hand, but I did hear it was coming for a week or two now. **UPDATE** The price is now effective online.

I currently have a P4 2.8 with a Radeon 9800Pro AGP. I would really like to know if there is an inexpensive AGP upgrade that anyone here could recommend. I am also looking for anyone who can tell me if there is a considerable performance increase in doing this. I've tried to do a little...

That first code is now invalid. Too bad cuz 50 prints woulda been nice. However their is still a lot of free prints available until Jan 15. Thanks for the info.

Dang that's actually a good deal. Final price is actually below cost. Trust me, I know! Too bad it's all mail ins. I hate MIRs. Too much work.

nice, but why don't you include some text in the feeds? Kinda defeats the purpose of RSS feeds if there is nothing to read but a title.
