    When big name douchebaggery gets out of hand

    Been watching this develop all day... hilarious twists when the DB changes his twitter handle to avoid the raging masses, and some kid scoops it up for the lulz, as it were. Best part: the old twitter account is still scrolling in realtime on the Ocean Mktg blog, which of course has started...

    AMD Athlon XP kicks butt =D

    Still running an Athalon XP on an AV8 socket939 board, frankenstein rig as my part-time file server. That chip is still rock-stable at stock speeds, and well worth the double* OEM pricetag. * Burned up the first one I bought within hours of purchase, and it is a rearview mirror/keychain...

    Holy crap, it worked! Dead video card, resurrected!

    Name Change Won’t Save RadioShack

    Once a few years ago I went into a RadioShack to find a cellphone adapter I could order online for $7 shipped... didnt want to wait 10 days for shipping because the battery was dying. The kid behind the counter tried to sell me his own personal used phone charger (same phone as mine) for $20...

    On 02-22-09 a District 2 patrol unit recovered a Mossburg 12-gauge shotgun concealed within a Super Soaker (water gun). The water gun was taken apart and altered allowing the shotgun to be encased within the water gun, and to remain fully functional.

    Does Netflix Have a Blu-ray Disc-Cracking Problem?

    Steve, I wonder if your question would get more definitive answers if people would identify their region or area when responding to this thread. i.e. "I live in eastern Michigan and have only had one cracked disc in my last 50+ Netflix BR rentals." Personally, I only do DVD's and from...

    Holy crap, it worked! Dead video card, resurrected!

    Guys, can you please start posting specs on your ovens? I'm not sure if my current machine will bake Crysis... Also, if I pop my old stupid compaq desktop from 2001 in there at 385f, will it stop being a piece of sh*t after 10 minutes? Thanks. (Kudos to the OP for a great 1st hand...

    Will 7750 x2 BE Stock HSF be enough?

    Just installed my Kuma with stock HSF on a M4A78 Pro and getting 49c - 51c at idle in BIOS. It's been 5 years since my last build (A64 3500+ on an AV8), so there's a chance I've installed the heatsink wrong. Gonna reapply AS5 and try again. Any advice in the meantime? Edit: Reinstalled stock...

    What I think about [Hard]ocp!

    1. Once upon a time Tom's Hardware was a legit source of information on building myself a computer for at least $1500 less than retail so my wife would'nt get all mad and stop cooking for me and stuff.

    Mounting a Zalman 7000A-AlCu

    I found the flash video on Zalman's website to be quite helpful in installing mine. I used the AV8 backplate from Abit, only odd thing was I had to flip it upside down to get the 'nipples' (only one set, retail) to screw in securely. May have to remove and reinstall mine today tho, as I am...
