Willing to post to Australia? I've been a long time member here, but have since moved and now read a lot more OCAU. :p eBay: kevlarman heatware:kevlarman BTW, is it an untethered jailbreak?

Hey fellas, I guess it's my turn to post a "my PC blew up!" thread. I normally leave my desktop PC (specs in sig) all day/night. Two nights ago, I went to turn on my monitor when I noticed that my PC was off. I turned it back on, saw Windows start to load, then got a BSOD. The next power on I...

Model M FTW! :D

Hahaha exactly what I was thinking! "Intel CPUs? Sure, right next to the pantyhose!"

This problem happens with both motherboards: the original one, which is a few months old, and a brand new one, which I obtained just yesterday. :(

Hey all, I have a recently built rig here that until last week, was working fine. Corsair HX620 PSU Gigabyte EP35-DSP3 2x Cruciial 1GB DDR2 PC2-8000 Intel Q6600 Foxconn 8800GTX OC Lite-On DVDRW 3x 7200RPM HDDs Basically, when I first built this computer a few months ago, it was working fine...

If you can find a Fuji F30 or F31fd, they are the king of low-light photos (for non-dSLRs).

You can shoot in RAW, as one of the advantages in shooting in such a format is the ability to push or pull the exposure by +/- 2 stops without significant degradation. A better way to do it is "bracket" the exposures. Basically, tell the camera to take a picture a -1 EV (exposure value), 0 EV...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_dynamic_range_imaging Basically, cameras cannot see in the dynamic range that our eyes can. If you were to use a digital camera and take a regular picture of the room, you'd have a possibility of two outcomes: You expose for the world outside the windows, and...

There are programs written for Symbian phones that allow you to use them as a gamepad with a bluetooth capable PC. There's a video demonstrating how the accelerometer built into the Nokia N95 can be used as a steering wheel.

Now now, mistaking rodents for Iraqis isn't politically correct. :p

I loved Far Cry! "You! In the shirt!" or "I'm gonna shoot you in THE FACE!"

Stick to established players: B&H, Adorama, Beach Camera, Ritz, Samy's Camera, etc. Most of the time, if the seller is based in New York (except for the ones mentioned above), beware big time.

Just remember that anything other than a Canon 1-series body will not be able to autofocus at the long end.

This guy shows how it's done! :p http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9VhkcKMNiIs

Indeed, I too thought my drive was dying. it was made especially worse since it was a brand new drive (Lite-On) in a brand new rig; I haven't even played regular DVDs and CDs in it yet. I leave the Crysis disc in my drive all the time, so whenever I restarted my computer, I would hear the...

The kit lens that comes with the camera is not image stabilized, but this one is. Too bad it's out of stock at the moment. Adorama is another very good place to buy gear, and it looks like they have the above lens in stock.

It is my understanding that photography is prohibited at the Body Worlds exhibit (I've been there three times). To answer another question, there are no L-type EF-S lenses. EF is the name of the mount that has been in use in older 35mm Canon film bodies. 35mm and full frame digital sensors...

If you're in manual mode, you will need to set both the aperture and shutter settings individually. With the small sensors that pint and shoot cameras have, you don't want to be using the higher ISO settings very often.

Nothing special, just the Sydney Opera House taken New Year's Day.

Tamron 17-50mm f/2.8 It's a great walkaround lens!

It is a ferrite bead, not a magnet.

I have a Lite-On SATA DVD burner as well, and the Crysis DVD indeed spins and clicks while the machine is booting up, or if I put the disc in the drive later. Annoying, but since I already beat the game, I don't need the disc anymore anyways.

Hehe you saw the F-22s from Tyndall, and I saw the F-22s from Edwards (last year). :)

ORLY? Hahah yeah it's a blast! :p

Are you running Vista? Very high is only available to people with DX10.. unless you hack it.

Oblivion seems to fit the bill, especially seeing how 3rd person combat in that game is (IMO) crap. Fun game though!

The thing is that the DVD I bought is not exactly retail; I bought it from http://www.journeyed.com which sells education-discounted software for cheap (Vista Ultimate upgrade only cost $100). It is a legitimate Microsoft DVD with all the holograms and fancy stuff, except for the warning on the...

Thanks, got it sorted out!

Why can't I find any of the weapons and/or vehicles? I'm sure I downloaded the right map (#5), replaced the level.pak in my \\Program Files\Electronic Arts\Crytek\Crysis SP Demo\Game\Levels\island folder, and still nothing. I've even scoured the entire island in the editor and don't see...

Anyone?

I would think that the constant reading/writing would wear the drive down in short order.

I purchased an upgrade copy of Windows Vista Ultimate (educational discont) and installed it with no worries on my current rig. I am planning to move to Australia in the near future. The Vista DVD that I purchased says "not for sale or use outside of North America or Latin America." My...

Look, a plush companion cube! (Lilnk goes to Kotaku, not 4Chan)

Maybe with a .22LR :p

... and on my free African safari I want to do everything on this box. I want to shoot a lion in the face, fight Muhammad Ali, and ride in a convertible with two happy zebras.

Reminds me of Eli Vance's "leg," and also the legs of the stalkers.

The Hurricane is a working minigun. :D

I ran full speed at a box and punched it (with strength enabled), and I died. :confused::eek:

Buy the fastes card you can afford. You won't increase your shooting speed by going from 15x to 266x, but you'll notice it when you're using a card reader to copy the pics to your computer.
