    Java Applet: File output

    Hello, I'm (voluntarily) creating a web page for a friend who runs a small business (he doesn't really know much about computing). He basically just wants a website that he can display images on; but the problem is that he wants to be able to add/remove these images without going into the HTML...

    How's this build?

    I would just like to get some second opinions on whether or not this is a "well balanced" system. Don't worry too much about the prices because I'm in Canada and there's a ton of price gouging (so even though I'm posting the prices in American they will still be high). I will be using this...

    Comment on ATI's box art

    I must say that I am quite impressed with how visually appealing ATI's box art has been since the 9700pro. Every single "built by ATI" card I have seen over the past 3 years have always come with incredibly intriguing box art that probably took an entire visual effects team to create. Even...

    Future of Vfx in Movies

    Something that I have been noticing lately is that more and more movie watchers (ie. average people) seem to be growing sick of seeing Computer Generated effects in movies. Many think that new action movies are starting to look more and more unrealistic/generic since the introduction of CG...

    Doom 3 online multiplayer

    I just bought Doom 3 and whenever I try to play online the server lobby is always empty. I think that I've narrowed down the problem: my external DSL modem must be blocking port 27666 with its built in firewall (the port that Doom 3 relies on). I've read over the net that ppl can unblock...

    EM emissions of CRT's

    I am looking at getting rid of my cheap Compaq FP 5315 and getting a better monitor for gaming. I don't have the money for a high-end LCD w/ a 12ms response time so I'm thinking about stepping back over to Cathode Ray Tube-based monitors. My main concern about these monitors is the extremely...

    Problem with Halo

    Sometimes when I play Halo my system freezes up totally. I was thinking that it was my CPU overheating so I bought a 120mm intake and modded on my sidepanel directly over my CPU. Now MBM says that my temps never go above 50C when they used to hit 60C under a load, but Halo still freezes. So...

    is this possible?

    Normally, I monitor my CPU temp with Sandra and it tells me that my CPU idles at around 35-40C (~50C under heavy load). Just a while ago, however (after having the computer on for several hours), I thought I'd take a look at what my BIOS tells me my CPU temp is and it said that it was at...

    case fan question

    I'm trying to prepare my system for the installation of an X800pro video card sometime in the future, however, my PSU is not good enough, nor is my current cooling system. To properly cool my system I need to install more case fans; however, as can be seen below my computer case is not large...

    n00bie crossing

    High, I'm kind of a n00b to computer hardware (although I'm really trying to learn as much as possible). I want to buy an extra 512MB of PC2700 for my system (for playing games like UT2k4 and other online FPS). I was thinking about going with Kingston (perhaps this RAM). Is it a good...

    9600XT Overdrive

    I recently bought a Radeon 9600XT and installed the Catalyst software that came with it. Now I want to enable the "Overdrive" feature on my card but I'm unable to find the appropriate menu (from what I've read it looks something like this: click here). Anyways, could somebody please tell me...
