I've read all of the criticism surrounding the front page and don't want to add another "me me me" post, but why is it displaying the same stories in the same view, in all three columns? And how or why is this design more "mobile friendly" when I have to "request desktop sit...
DrFish - have you spoken or communicated with the new owners in some capacity? And if you are able to tell us, what was the internal announcement of the hand off like? From this thread, it sounds like there was no internal announcement. They knew it was coming, but the timing was a complete surpris...
DrFish, when you mentioned that 'forums are SEO gold', is that because they are an advertisers data mining wet dream? Are the forum posts something to sell in the way Facebook sells its subscribers? Quite literally the two links you'll want to read to understand their "perspective" are: h...

Pretty shocking all said and done and I literally checked the calendar to make sure it wasn't April 1st. After [H]ardOCP closed up shop and (even before when they laid off their one other writer with what, two weeks severance and zero notice?) Dr.Fish bluntly outlined the state the site was in, I kn...
Howdy, I'm in the process of re-organizing about 4 TB of files on two external drives and wanted to take a "snap shot" of the file and directory structure before I begin shifting files around. As this isn't explicitly copying the files themselves (instead I'd just like an output so I know ...
However, it would be much less expensive to get that same performance in a small desktop PC. Isn't the premium for a comparable latop vs. desktop system in the same performance range, about 1.5x the cost or higher? Performance wise, I have the same CPU in my desktop that your friend is packing and ...
I understand the clutter ratio and the fact that they are looking for a desktop replacement, but this sounds as if a bit more complex desktop system paired with an inexpensive laptop and NAS of some kind, would be a much better replacement than a somewhat pricey and exotic, dual hard drive laptop sy...
They stand to make a lot of money if they can convince people to buy the collector's edition for each game in the three part series. I wonder if this is a "limited edition" thing like the collector's edition of Halo 3 was. I think I just recently saw it on sale for the price of the normal...
Isn't the point of leaving feedback to describe the experience with the seller and their merchandise? The tiring thing is that eBay already has mechanisms in place (and usually weighed in favor of the seller) to respond and argue about such criticism. Amusing thought - has anyone been taken to court...
Based solely on second hand information, I'd suggest the Samsung 2233RZ. 120 HZ (which appears to be more than just a marketing gimmick), 22 inch (a little under) and it runs about $330. Of course don't take my word for it, but TFTCentral uses it as their new reference monitor (they even compare it ...
Also, Blood Omen 1 is awesome just to play and listen to how Simon Templeman narrates stuff, but the action is sloooooooooooooow. And getting it to run on a modern PC is like trying to have a snowball fight in Hawaii. If you had a PS3 you can get it on PSN, but the loading times of the PSX version ...
The first and second games in the Blood Omen series had a vibe similiar (I mean gameplay/general story devices (not plot) as The Link To The Past and Zelda 64.
Hello, I find myself in a rather interesting position; I've attained the Comptia A+ and N+ certificates and am currently working on the CCNA and plan on either getting the associates of CISSP or SSCP with a desire to become a system administrator of some kind. The dilemma I guess is obvious; I have ...
Were there any other games that supported one off tricks on specific pieces of hardware? All the earlier GLIDE 3dfx games. GLIDE was an API, wasn't it? And it was part of an entire hardware lineup that spanned multiple generations... Wasn't really a one off, but I just find it interesting that ther...
The DX8-era Wolfenstein had support for TruForm for initially, but it was eventually turned off in later patches. Dungeon Keeper 2 springs to mind as one of the earlier games to have the novelty of supporting bump mapping. The only card to support it at the time was the only Matrox G400 though, and...
Has anyone out here used their PS3 controllers to play games on their PC? Tempted to try this out as my hands feel more comfortable on the PS3 remote than the Xbox 360 (the squishy movement pad also creates issues for long term play when using an emulator), but I've heard conflicting reports of comp...
Hello, Trying to connect to a https site such as https://www.meebo.com/ returns a page that states...

The point of the lab was for me to create a "clean room" environment (in this case, a VM running XP with a working connection) to install and infect the system, follow through with whatever process they ask for, then disinfect the system. What I need to find is a random ransome-ware "...
Hello, Taking a "computer repair course" and am trying to duplicate the situation a laptop that was brought in for repair; it had the WinPolice Pro Virus/malware, and I am trying to find it so I may infect, then repair a lab computer. The issue is this; I cannot find a site that actually c...
Have forty groups of ten files that need to have a suffix added to them (Disc 1, Disc 2, etc) and while I can manually change the file name, I was wondering if there was a utility or command in windows that lets you select and rename groups of files?
Hello, I've been asked to manually transcribe around 75 hours of audio seminars and of course, being the geek that I am, my first thought was to automate the process. In trying to find a solution, I've stumbled across a few pieces of very absurd, outdated, and mysterious software packages, the most ...
So I played in the tournament today. I won my first fight, but lost my second. But, again, I think that I would have fared a whole lot better had I been using a FightPad, FightStick, or been able to change my buttons. And, once again, the D-pad on the 360 is terrible for 2D fighters. I can't stand ...

Do other OpenGL games work or is it Doom 3 specific? A few cards (namely, the intergrated radeons present in some laptops) have been known to have horrible OpenGL performance. The OS is also important because out of the box (and even after a driver install) Vista has issues with running OpenGL, as o...
