Because a 560 is better than my 8800 GTX until I finish saving for my new rig.

I just ditched AT&T and moved to T-mobile. Managed to get an HTC HD2 for $45 through a combination of subsidized pricing and some deals. I have been much more satisfied with my T-mobile subscription. No delayed or lost SMS, no random calls not appearing and going direct to voice mail, no delayed...

I am working on migrating some old scripts that make use of CDOSYS to a servercore test install for Server 2008 R2. Unfortuantely I am having a dumb moment and can not determine if CDOSYS has been replaced in Servercore R2 (and what its replacement it) or what needs to be installed to install it.

I went ahead and ordered one to be my netflix streaming box (win7 media center integration with Netflix isnice, but browing/searching is a little limited) and DVD ISO jukebox (only needed a couple plugins for that, tested it out on my desktop and it works great). My only regret is that I...

iracing is a monthly charge, but IMO it is well worth it. After spending time in iracing other sims and games just don't feel right at all. iracing just feels right. As for comparison with real life, I drive a Solstice GXP, and the Solstice in the sim feels remarkably accurate (even if the one...

Yeah the increased wage disparity just makes sense. Now if only I could charge people for health care and other services! This game is definately focused on the "Cuba" model of government. I'll have to play through it in a manner that makes Stalin look like Ghandi just for kicks.

Just discovered this game last night on Steam. Grabbed the demo for a try before I buy, and I'm hooked. There is a lot of dry political humor in this game (which makes for some good ROFLMAO moments, if you like that type of humor). The city building is fairly simple, but the politics and econ...

I just bought a G500 and love it. This general mouse shape just fits my hand so well. I started with an MX510 (gave it to my wife), then moved to a MX518 (now used at work), have a G7 for my laptop (wish it had two side buttons), and the G500 on my primary computer. I have tried a couple other...

EDIT: Fore more detail of what I describe below: http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?t=18027737 The key thing to remember is that there are engagement modes and firemodes. Firemode: Hold fire is "don't fire unless you are shot at" (useful for sneaking around) Fire at will...

ArmA2 is great, but definately more of an infantry sim than standard FPS. To be honest I never actually played the campaign, I just bought it for online and the mission builder. You can build some insanely complex and cool missions. Heck, you could make an indefinate mission by using the SOM...

Since no one has said it yet: iRacing.

Everyone else can delete their post now. I have posted :D :p :eek: Was worth a shot :)

I am evaluating it on 4 machines at my company. So far so good. I noticed it handles offline file syncing much better than Vista. Less performance hit for offline files by far. Any new machines will get Win7, and I'll probably move all Vista machines to 7. XP machines will remain so as they are...

Played through the demo last night. It is one of the best NFS games in a long time. Although I would have liked to see the same semi-sim approach on some open road environments with traffic (similar to NFS:PU or NFS3). For a non-sim game the physics are pretty-good. It runs fairly smoothly with...

For those wanting a modern sub sim I think your best bet is: http://store.steampowered.com/app/1600/ SH5 is on defiantely on my buy list...

Ah Dos games, the good ole days when most games multiplay was only IPX with no TCP/IP support and everyone used KALI to play the games over the internet. Descent was one of my favorites....

How you use them depends on the module. For instance the Ambient Civilian and Civilan vehicle modules do not need to be synced to anyone. The 1st Aid modules I havn't completely figured out but I have found success in simply placing them and also syncing them to the player (also to the squad...

I have been playing with some of the modules in the editor and it is amazing powerful. I noticed the quality of the AI really depends on how well the mission is setup. Using the ambient combat module can add some nice randomness to missions too. SecOps module can be fun as well. I have a...

I wonder if they will have some of the Mechs able to use contact weapons. Hatchetman anyone? I loved playing Battletech pen and paper when I was in high school.

Well the data collected by quantcast does show a demographics difference between the two sites. http://www.quantcast.com/myspace.com#demographics vs. http://www.quantcast.com/facebook.com#demographics

The A-10 is a nice jet, but I am starting to really love the AV8B (normal, not the LGB). Works out well to climb to 3500m, and dive down and target seperate targets with the 6 Mk82's and then fly out NOE at 800 kph, makes it hard for Any AA to nail you. Of course the Mavericks on the A-10 are...

My 8800GTX is fine, but my old C2D is getting maxed out and is the source of any of my performance issues, especially in single player with lots of AI's. I am loving ArmA2 so far though. I need to get a new flight stick so I can fly again (mine broke while flying in DCS). My only gripe is...

It is possible to upgrade from Beta to RC and from RC to RTM if you are not able or unwilling to do a clean install, it is just not recommended. Read this: HOW TO UPGRADE

Well the idea of not being able to release is probably around to force the infected to work as a team as well. Face it, we all have seen matches where as infected you happen to have three hunters and a smoker and the entire infected team attacks one at a time completely wasting their...

Since we are just guessing here I'll throw in Creature Shock. It was first person and point and click, and while I don't remember any green blobs, there was some green "water" that a certain type of creature would jump out from. Spolier guide for Creature Shock with screen shots...

I support iPhones. My preferred platform for end users is Windows Mobile 6.1 due to its tighter integration with Active Directory and Exchange. Much more managable from an IT standpoint. However, iPhone's are allowed and are supported. Of course this also leads to support iTunes. I really...

Klob's list is pretty good. I just wanted to add that I am an iRacing subscriber and I find that it is worth the cost. The online play system is a bit different than what many people are used to, but I find that it works very well. I've just been so busy I havn't had a chance to race for a...

I would say it depends on if the arresting officer can show he had probable cause to search the device. At a basic traffic stop I doubt an officer could come up with probable cause unless the driver said or did something to create that environment. A password would not be obsctruction alone...

Had some trouble at first. It kept locking up going into setup, then it finally got into setup and then would lock up at disk.sys during boot.Solved it by unplugging my firewire connected external hard drive (an excuse to move to eSATA for me). Works very well. Don't have any of my files or apps...

cannondale06, No OC on my rig. As far the performance goes, it is rather strange, to me my FPS is smooth as silk, but when I turn down AA I notice the additional jaggies more than the FPS increase. I guess my personal preference and how I see things it just odd compared to everyone else...

In response to: cannondale06 From what I can see Far Cry 2 is not very CPU limited and much more GPU limited. Overall i am fairly insensitive to lower frame rates and to me 25-30 is perfectly playable and smooth. I might notice minor improvements past that but I have never been one to...

The funny thing is, I am usually very critical about games. But I feel that it fills a void in the FPS genre. It is realisitic enough to be immersed, but not so realisitc that you can't just fire it up for a couple hours and blow stuff up. Stalker was good as well, its just the loading between...

Personally I am loving Far Cry 2. I have about 16 hours into it since I bought it last weekend. I just like driving around attacking guard posts. It is also fun to drive really fast through them and get the enemy to get in their trucks. Once they do so I shoot and kill the gunner and then get...

This issue does exist and is quite annoying. I run a Active Diretory at home and have my folders redirected to the server and quite a few games simply "fail" at handling this. I had to create a seperate user account (local user instead of domain user) and skip the redirected folders for this...

America's Army is pretty good as far as sniper implimentation goes, and Armed Assault is really good as well (missing a few details, but very good as well, no insta-hit). Of the two I play Armed Assault the most due to its combined armed approach and large scale battlefields (and I typically...

For the most part I think overall cleint system platform is going to matter less and less over time. Most apps are slowing turning to web services. Sure photoshop and the like will probably always run on the client OS, but these days a photoshop file looks the same, opens the same and the app...

Downloaded it last night at about 10:00pm. Next thing I knew it was 3:00am.... Yep, good game! I love the combat, feel much more "real" than a lot of recent RPG's. A few little gripes here and there, but I will be buying this. I actually like it more than Oblivion.

On this one XP SP3 laptop (Dell Inspiron e1505, XP Pro SP3) the offline file cache will not change from 1.93 gb. I can change it lower or higher, hit apply and then "ok" and then go back and look at the settings and it still says 1.93 gb. There is 60gb of free space on the machine so it is not a...

iRacing is worth checking out.
