    Safari On Windows

    A little question. Does anyone know how to disable the font smoothing on the Safari windows beta completely? Personally, I can't stand font smoothing, and I can't even give Safari a fair shake if I have to look at blurry text.

    Help! Old Computer needs hard drive replaced

    Check the connection of the drive, I'm sure it's going to be IDE and that's what you need to buy. If it's a flat wide ribbon cable then it's most likely an IDE drive. It doesn't matter what drive you specifically buy as long as it's IDE, however I'd say you should try to find one as cheap as...

    Firewalls and FreeBSD

    Can anyone point me to a good resource/guide to setting up a firewall for a FreeBSD machine? I don't want anything that says NAT, every guide i've seen has been about setting up a NAT firewall. I just need to know how to work with this rc.firewall file, not setup a NAT firewall.. What it...

    Small question about newer motherboards and SATA

    I have an older abit nForce 2 motherboard and when I install windows xp I've had to install the drivers for my SATA controller. Now I always found this to be an annoyance but one that I can easily deal with since I don't reinstall windows every day. However, I was curious if that would still...

    Games you wish people still played...

    I'm gonna say Wolfenstein ET. That game was amazing. Completely free multiplayer multiplatform goodness. WARNING: ET may still have a huge community, I dont know, because I'm not in it, but i remember the heyday.

    Greatest Game Ever

    If I had to say perfection, It would be Super Metriod probably However, Diablo II stole many years of my life, as well as all the other Blizzard PC titles starting with Warcraft II... Super Metriod for execution Blizzard games for replayability (Diablo II specifically for me)

    Yahoo News: Wii Offically $250

    My hunch is that they'll release it at $200. Every console they've launced was at $200, I don't see why they'll change it now.

    NTFS error HELP!

    Yeah, that's exactly what I did, I used a tool called "Darik's Boot and Nuke" to completely erase the drive, and then it formatted and passed chkdsk... Now I don't know how much I trust the drive anymore... What do you think the reliablity of it will be now? I mean, I've lost everything...

    NTFS error HELP!

    I tried doing that last night, but lucky for me, it doesn't support drive attached to third party raid controllers, and I have mine attacked to a silicon image si3112 third party raid controller built into my motherboard. So thier utility doesn't work for me, and i dont have any other native...

    NTFS error HELP!

    So I just went ahead and tried to format the drive, I got what really mattered to me off of it, and I guess the rest can go. Now here's the problem, when windows goes to format it, from the windows installer, it hangs at 91%, been there for like 40 min.... Think the drive is fubar'd? Any...

    Help with *nix firewalls

    I've been looking for a guide on how to setup a firewall on a *nix machine, but most guides are along the lines of 'how to make a NAT firewall with *nix.' I don't want a NAT box, I just want to setup a firewall on the machine that is just going to be used for it, and nothing else. For...

    Uuuuuuuugh AIM Triton is an abomination

    right now i use aim 5.2.3292 with aimutation, but i think gaim is a better option. I only use aim+aimutation since it handles multiple monitors better than gaim on windows.

    Adding a new hard drive

    More out of curiousity than anything else, I was wondering how OSX would handle the addition of a new internal hard drive to a system. Would it just create a link to the new hard disc on my desktop, and make it accesable to all users? Or would it ask me to mount it where I wanted, for...

    HELP: mirc fileserver on a LAN

    I think this is a bad idea. I'm sure your school has some sort of policy about students running thier own servers inside thier network, and if it involves the sharing of files, I'm sure there would be some dire consequences... Look up your school's network policy first, then decide if you...

    isnt nvidia coming out with an agp version of the 6800GS? If so, that would be around the 200 dollar mark, and probably the best performance to cash ratio you can get with a new card

    OS X terminal questions

    yeah, so i can get the same effect of su with sudo -s and sudo bash... but when i shut down the terminal program (and i'm shutting it down, not just closing the window) i can start it back up and "sudo -s" and it won't ask me for a password if i do it within whatever the given time interval is...

    OS X terminal questions

    Ok, i gave it some time, and it asked me for my password again, so i suppose there is some sort of timeout till when it will ask you again, but i'd really rather type my password everytime i sudo, or even type my password once for every terminal session, but i closed the terminal program and...

    Sega Saturn Recommendations??

    The modchip for saturn will, in addition to allowing you to play imports, allow you to play "backups" of games... the cart only lets you play imports, but i don't think talk of "backups" is allowed here if you just want to play imports the cart is the easiest way to go, or you could grab a...

    Older CPU question

    I'd say you're better off trying to pick up one of the mobile athlon xp's and overclocking it, since you're currently overclocking your current chip the mobile's can net you a decent performance gain, for less cash I'm still using my mobile 2400 (35w) it can hit around 2.6 but i keep it at...
