    EVE Online

    Just to revive this one. I've been playing EVE Online for about a week and I LOVE the game. It's absolutely beautiful, extremely in-depth and full featured. Definitely worth the monthly play. Feel free to shoot me your email address and I will send a Buddy pass (Free for 14-days).

    Best space sim/shooter ever?

    EVE Online all the way. The most complex and indepth space sim I've ever seen.

    Needed: Open source asset management software

    Where I work we have recently implemented Request Tracker to track service requests. What we need now is an Open Source asset management solution, or at least a relatively inexpensive solution. Our goal is mainly to keep track of information on the systems. We don't necessarily need to push...

    Case/Sleeve/Backpack recommendation needed

    Those Axio cases look awesome. The top of the list has one specifically for sport/touring motorcyclists...very nice find: http://www.axio-usa.com/html/p1.html# $134.95 isn't that bad for a nice hardcase for the laptop. Maybe a sleeve on top of that would be nice protection. I'll...

    mac office alternatives?

    I went ahead and bought MS Office for my Mac. NeoOffice is incredibly sluggish on a 12" iBook with 512MB of RAM. Office 2004 was a lot faster and worth the money in my opinion.

    Case/Sleeve/Backpack recommendation needed

    I am contemplating getting a motorcycle in the next few months (Yamaha FZ6) and need some recommended cases that I can use to carry my 12" iBook. I'd be interested in some sort of hard cover sleeve or something that I can then put inside of a backpack. The goal is to protect the iBook as much as...

    Motorola motoQ Phone

    Cool! Thanks for the info. I'm looking forward to this guy coming out. I really am not too impressed by any of the Blackberries and their lack of proper support for POP3 through a 3rd party server.

    Sell my 15" PowerBook and pick up a new 12" iBook?

    I guess it would be logical with the enhanced specs of the new iBooks...go for one of the 1.42 GHz with the 512MB of RAM...not too bad a deal when you think about it.

    Motorola motoQ Phone

    I figured I would post this in Mobile Computing forum since it's basically a PDA Phone. Has anyone looked at the specs or anything on this? I signed up for information about when it will be released. I currently have a Sidekick 2, but am getting sick of it and TMobile's lack of features.

    Help me find the ideal Laptop for College

    It's unfortunate that those are your requirements. I'd stick with a PowerBook or something similar. My iBook with Office 2004 has been working great @ University of Phoenix. Contrary to popular belief, however, I'd recommend a Dell. If you're willing to push your budget a bit and want to...

    Sell my 15" PowerBook and pick up a new 12" iBook?

    Any reason why you would want to downgrade? Looking for more portability?

    Mac OS Desktop Screenshots

    No, it's not free, but worth the $20 I paid for it since it works very nicely. I have no problem paying for good software. It's called Shapeshifter and I'm sure lots of people have heard/used it. Definitely worth the cost.

    NeoOffice v. Office 2004 ?

    I've been using NeoOffice to do homework on for the past 2 weeks or so. The performance is a bit slow even with 512 MB of Ram on my 12" G4 iBook. Has anyone or any website done any performance comparisons between the two pieces of software? I've been checking out ThinkFree but they haven't...

    Trouble with new 12" iBook keyboard

    yeah no kidding. I was getting really frustrated just getting the keyboard back open again, but I finally got it open. Once I got the antenna plugged in all the way I didn't have any more trouble with the wireless connection. I am having an awesome time with this little sucker. I go to...

    Trouble with new 12" iBook keyboard

    I just bought a new 12" iBook today and installed an additional 256MB of RAM. Once I closed everything up I noticed that my wireless signal is horrible. It keeps going in and out. I am now trying to get back under the keyboard, but nothing is working. I've tried rotating the little lock in...

    Small(er) Widescreen Laptops

    Having to spend hours of your life making a recovery CD when you first get the machine (something which a lot of companies and home users don't bother doing), make no sense at all. It would be more convenient to the end user (home or business) for the OEM to just include either an XP CD or...

    Small(er) Widescreen Laptops

    In the history of my owning and working on Sony laptops and desktops they have NEVER included any sort of recovery CD or installation CD which is a complete load of crap. Any manufacturer who does not include the installation CD or some sort of recovery CD is not worth the cost of their...

    MCDST or MCSE?

    Microsoft Certified Desktop Support Technician...it will involve troubleshooting software in addition to the OS itself. MCSE will focus on network design and management. It all depends on where you'd like to be working. Since most large companies would take a support technician first then...

    I think I may have made a mistake...getting an LCD...

    Samsung Syncmaster 955DF 19" CRT...best CRT monitor I've ever used. I play WoW, EQ2, and UT2004 at 1600x1200 with no eye straing. Colors are awesome. The Syncmaster line has a dot pitch of .20mm which makes it crystal clear. After reading the posts in this thread, I may hold off on going...

    Any way to apply windows user specific settings via script somehow without reboot?

    Sounds like your administrators have implemented Mandatory Profiles which means ANY changes you make to the system will be overwritten. Even if you decided to try to make changes to the registry, the only way to implement the changes is to logoff/logon again, which in turn will overwrite said...

    Everquest 2 or Wow?

    I have both games, but I will admit that I enjoy WoW more than EQ2. My specs are in my signature. I can play EQ2 on High Quality with no shadows and get very good frame rates just about everywhere (Qeynos Harbor sucks in general). In terms of gameplay, EQ2 is much more involved. The use of...

    Do I dare try WoW?

    If you can find someone who has the game, it should have come with a 10-day guest pass (what I'm using right now). The goal is for the friend to give you the guest pass and loan you the install CDs. You then install the game, register the code and play for 10 days. If you like it, you buy...

    Cell phone for internet connection?

    T-Mobile Sidekick 2 Works very well when the connection is strong. Just recently added Java support. I useit mainly for visiting news sites and it's not exactly the fastest, but compared to other devices the screen is nice, and having AIM available on a full QWERTY keyboard is great.

    Outlook 2003 - .pst File Location

    You can move the PST file pretty much anywhere on the local machine, but Microsoft does not support putting it on a network server. They want you to purchase Exchange for that purpose. You might be able to get away with mapping a drive letter to a share and doing it that way, but I don't think...

    Aquapark Aquabox - anyone looking forward to this?

    In my opinion, it's also a matter of appearance. Although you will lose out when it comes to mobility, I think the kit is actually visually appealing. It changes the view from a tower (premodded, modded, whatever) to the tower and this interesting piece of work next to it. Having everything...

    Aquapark Aquabox - anyone looking forward to this?

    Being one of the people interested in an all in one kit I read the review of the Aquabox from the HardOCP front page and am really interested in getting this. I checked out the Zalman Reserator, but the plastic fittings and low performance really turned me off to it. I know that many people...

    Case mod idea from a newb - Feedback requested

    Damn! Those fans would probably starting sucking components off the mobo! Anyway, it's just a redical idea I had. I just read a few reviews that this 8" fan is pretty loud so I might try to find another model. What I liked about this one is that the base is mounted on the sides of the fan...

    Unable to surf web w/laptop yet can ping

    Are you getting the IP address from a router or directly from the ISP? If it's from a router, try plugging directly to the ISP and see if you can browse. Also, try just performing an ipconfig /release and /renew and see if you get any different IP settings (ipconfig /all). If all else...

    Unable to surf web w/laptop yet can ping

    Any other computers that can be hooked up to determine if the problem is with the PC or with the internet connection? Can browse via IP? Try pinging a name, get the IP, then punch the IP in the web browser. Another option would be to increase the ping size. Since a standard PING is a...

    Small Business AntiVirus

    I guess it really depends on the size of the "small business." The company I work for will always recommend Symantec Corporate. You can distribute clients easily from the server and updates are handed up from the central location as opposed to each PC getting their own updates. You can...

    Procurve 4000/8000 series.

    We've been using a Procruve 4108gl with 4 servers on LACP. The management software has been helpful and the ability to monitor port traffic is really handy. All in all it's been a great switch for the past 2 years or so.
