    Jack's Back

    Jack Thompson is once again back in the news. Seems he wants in on the White House meeting regarding video games. Can't he just go back to his little hole where we could ignore him for the rest of eternity. https://www.pcgamesn.com/trump-meeting-games-industry-esa

    Intel Didn't Tell Government About Meltdown/Spectre Because They Couldn't Help With Fix

    My guess, certain areas of government (cia, nsa, etc) knew about the bug and have been abusing it, but if they hadn't, Intel letting them know about it would have probably led to the weaponizing of it and Intel probably would have been told don't fix it.

    Serial Swatter Charged With Involuntary Manslaughter

    Personally speaking, I couldn't be objective either. IMO, for this guy and others like him, we need to dig a very deep hole, throw them into it and then put a cover on top and then just forget about them. My only worry would be that it could lead to C.H.U.D

    Uber Fined $8.9 Million for Hiring Drivers with Criminal Records

    And I'm sure some crimes, for example shoplifting, just get ignored by a background check. But would you want to get into a car driven by someone who had a record of raping women, even if they just got out of jail after 5, 10, 15 or 20 years? I know quite a few woman that it wouldn't matter...

    NYT: Denver Best Choice for Amazon’s Second Headquarters

    I know Calgary Alberta Canada is also courting Amazon, so IMO the article is biased towards strictly American locations while Amazon isn't.

    The New 'Mass Effect Trilogy' Trailer

    If I didn't already own them and I didn't know much about the series, the ending to 3, etc etc. Yes, this trailer would have me wanting to buy them (or line up to watch the movie)

    Microsoft Surface Preorders Sell Out In Under 24hrs

    Steve, shouldn't this news article say Tuesday? I mean it's only 9am mountain time here, pretty sure I'm not in a time warp at the moment ;)

    Game Developers Abandoning Google+

    I use G+, pretty much daily (maybe 2x per week for facebook), and frankly, not having games is not going to effect me in the least. Does it have a games channel, yes, have I visited it and played a game or 3 yes, has I been in there recently, nope, not for 4+ months. I don't go on there for...

    Google+ is A Ghost Town

    You don't know how to use it then. You can send a direct message to anyone in your circles, just make a post and instead of including a circle, include your friends name. Only they and you can read it.

    A Brief Timeline of Viruses from the Beginning of Networked Computing

    I'm kinda surprised that the article didn't mention Chernobyl, one of the 1st viruses to be able to infect and corrupt the bios firmware of a computer, potentially turning an infected machine into a brick

    Firefox - Where to backup bookmarks on Windows 7?

    hell, just make a copy of the contents of the folder that has a name that looks similar to ifaku79z.default. When you do your reinstall and run firefox, it'll create a similar folder (but with a different name). Just overwrite the ocntents of that folder with the stuff you just copied. All...

    Live Coverage of Google's Android Phone Announcement

    one possible reason for the special event, lg is also coming out with an android based snapdragon processor phone in roughly q2. Having an event like this takes a bit of wind out of their sails, which i'm sure makes htc very happy.

    AMD Readies Radeon 5000 Series For 4Q09

    Just because wiki says it, doesn't make it true. Those are fiscal quarters, but when someone says Q4, who's to say they're talking fiscal, perhaps they mean winter?

    Woman Suing Google For Complying With Court Order

    Actually, the model got her outed, and then dropped the suit, which could be considered an abuse of the courts powers. IMO, if you're going to go to the trouble of suing the courts to get someones identity released so you can sue them, have the balls to actually sue them. It really should be a...

    New Star Wars The Old Republic

    Guys, if you actually go to the webpage the video is from, it's says cinematic, therefore not game engine. Still looks good though and I fully intend to give it a try when it's released.

    YouTube HD Camera Trick Revealed

    FBI Raids TX Data Center for Clues in Wolverine Leak

    Actually, CBS has found out that the raid had nothing to do with the movie leak, it has to do with fraud against AT&T and Verizon in the multi-billion dollar range. http://cbs11tv.com/local/Core.IP.Networks.2.975776.html

    Day Three of TPB Trial

    The problem is, you are not the proper authority and TPB has stated they would remove any child porn reported to them by the proper authorities (ie the police). One thing you should note, and I'm not certain what the law is like in your country, but you could get in some seriously deep sh** for...

    FarCry 2 Gameplay Performance @ [H]

    just for the record, a 3850 with 256MB runs it quite playable with everything set to medium (1680x1050), but I am thinking it's definitely time to upgrade :D

    Windows 7 To Be Named Windows 7

    it's too bad, that Microsoft's marketing / naming seems to have no math skills Windows 1, Windows 2, Windows 3 (and 3.1 and 3.1), Windows 95 (all 3 versions), Windows 98 (and SE), Windows ME, Windows XP, Windows Vista = 8 version intended for consumers, making this Windows 9, not 7, even...
