    Major WoW news: This November for 5th anniversary = Azeroth update

    That's what I thought. On the one hand it's cool that Onyxia is getting updated, but they could have done something a little more creative. Perhaps updating Azeroth for flying mounts, even though they've said repeatedly they will never do that. At any rate, I don't play anymore so I don't...

    XBox 360 to PC

    I just picked up an XBox 360 today. I don't have a network connection in my room (my roommate and I are going to do a drop but it might be a little while). My PC has a wireless card that I'm using, and I was thinking I would bridge the connection and just connect the XBox to my PC. I figured...

    Student Ordered to Pay RIAA $675,000

    That's the same argument I've been using for years. It's not theft or stealing. Best Buy and the other retailers still have all their inventory.

    Student Ordered to Pay RIAA $675,000

    But the problem here is that there are no records at all of how many people downloaded the songs (I think).

    Worst game of the year?

    Weird. You've played L4D2? Interesting.

    Plants vs Zombies $7.50 on Steam

    I don't know ... it didn't look very good. I need to give it a try I guess.

    Windows 7 x64 and Gaming

    The only game I haven't gotten running yet is CoD: WaW. But I don't think it's Windows 7 that is the problem.

    Damnit! I'm typing this, staring at my new 23" Asus that I bought for $179. Argh!

    DIR-655 and RDP

    I'll check on the NAT, but RDP is definitely not blocked at work. I do remote support so I use it quite often.

    Any last minute advice? I take my CCNA tomorrow.

    Heh, I took mine the day after. I got a 917. You win. :)

    Who's a CCNP?

    I just got my CCNA last week. I'm thinking about going CCNP but the idea seems rather daunting.

    Hmm ... I want a Cisco router. (And thus, my contribution to the thread ends)

    DIR-655 and RDP

    I will have to check it when I get home. I'm not sure how that would make a difference since the connection is getting to the router. I haven't checked RDP into the Win7 box internally.

    DIR-655 and RDP

    I'm trying to set up my home connection to be accessible through RDP. I've got a D-Link DIR-655 with four computers on the LAN. I've got a Windows 7 box that I want to forward the RDP to once it hits the router, but I'm having trouble getting it to work. I have set up port forwarding on the...

    Ps3 80gb + extra Dualshock3 250+tax, ship. From Sony CC deal

    My wife has about 20-25 credit cards and has a fantastic credit score. She barely uses them, and pays them off right away when she does.

    World Tour Wii: Limitation on the number of bands?

    We've had GH: World Tour for the Wii since Christmas. My wife wants to make a new band to start her own career, and we can't find the option anywhere. I found a message board that suggested a limitation on the number you create. We've got three--can anyone confirm if that is true?

    Webcam video recording

    VLC can record videos from devices? Damn, I use the program and didn't know that. If you've seen her you might see why this isn't a very good idea.

    Webcam video recording

    I have a customer who was looking for some decent software for recording videos on her built in laptop webcam. She said free would be nice, but she'd be willing to pay for a program if it is good enough. She is basically just looking to capture images and video and save them to her hard drive...

    HOT! 8 Hours of Classical Music $5.99, "100 All Time Greatest Classical Masterpieces"

    Thanks for posting this. Picking it up. EDIT: Based on the less-than-stellar reviews of this, I found this one and might pick it up: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001U1J2S4/ref=sr_f2_album_5_rd?ie=UTF8&child=B001U1OMTI&qid=1243988740&sr=102-5

    What's up with all this DNF stuff (Link inside)

    "Bully tactics?" Uhhh, maybe you're forgetting the part where you have consistently delayed this game to the point of absurdity. Honestly, I'd bully your lazy asses too.

    What did you do to get a job at first?

    I got a couple of certs and took a shot. The second IT job I interviewed for, I got. I don't have a college degree, although I am working on one.

    WPA taking forever to authenticate.

    How is MAC filtering not a form of security? It's designed to keep users off your network. I know it's insanely easy to crack, but that doesn't mean it isn't a form of security. The WPA key I used was only 11 digits long. And as far as my wife's laptop goes, she was putting it into sleep...

    WPA taking forever to authenticate.

    A few months back I purchased a new router for home use, the D-Link DIR-655. My old router pretty much kicked the bucket, and I wanted something halfway decent that wasn't a pain in the ass to maintain. Some research on Newegg and on here led me to this router. It's got a lot of nice...

    whatever happened to PC Achievements?

    /shrug Something that offers and acknowledges a challenge is hardly something I would describe as stupid. It's no different than getting a high score or even beating a game.

    Left 4 Dead is really starting to suck

    I still find versus mode to be a blast, although I admit it is getting a little long in the tooth with only two selectable maps for it. That DLC can't come soon enough--especially with the tools to make custom maps. EDIT: I will also say that ragequitting is unfathomably annoying. I've...

    whatever happened to PC Achievements?

    Absolutely! That L4D storyline is what draws me to the game. (Yes, this is dripping with sarcasm)

    Mad World gets a 9/10

    Looks like a great game, but with 5-6 hours gameplay it's absolutely not worth the price. Rental at best.

    Component video on Bluray--worth it?

    So I got the dvi-to-component cable in today, and lo-and-behold, it doesn't really work. You see bits of a display, but it is completely distorted and dancing across the screen. Hardly conducive to selling my wife on this whole idea. Just for ha-ha's, I reconnected the ATI proprietary...

    Component video on Bluray--worth it?

    Yes, it's an HDTV. It's a few years old (got it in 2003), but we have a slew of HD cable channels. We've got two component inputs, which are being used by our DVD player and our cable/DVR box. As I said earlier, I have a spare computer with an x850 Pro that I hooked up, but it only...

    Component video on Bluray--worth it?

    So what you're saying is that I won't get a component video signal this way? EDIT: If I am correct, how do I get an HD signal on my TV? Do I need HDMI and a new TV?

    Component video on Bluray--worth it?

    Excellent. Thank you for the response! Now, I just need to prove to my wife that it's worth it. She doesn't see the difference in Bluray.

    Component video on Bluray--worth it?

    Forgive me if this has already been answered. I did a brief search and didn't come up with anything definitive. In a nutshell, my wife and I have decided we are sick of outrageous cable prices. She read an article and came to the realization that all the shows we watch are available the...

    left 4 dead...there a hard group that plays?

    Wow, you're a dick. You could always try explaining some of the finer points of playing Infected to someone who is new at it. I played just co-op campaigns for two months before trying Infected, and I was shitty at it at first. Only through explanation and practice was I able to learn the...
