Try clearing the CMOS by moving the jumper and back, or try using the Setup defaults in the BIOS menu. g/l

I've played UT2k3 for some time, also. 1. Learn to dodge first, everything else follows. You should be moving all the time, and not jumping up and down, like in Quake. That is a big no-no because you are making your moves predictable--one just has to shoot at your landing zone. Bunny jumping does no...

Now all there is to look forward to are:

UT2k4
Halflife2
Doom3
939 pin Athlon 64

See, there's still some excitement in the air!

This isn't really a personal resolution. I'm gonna get at least a hundred people to vote in November, people who might not have voted. I'm going to get my neighbors registered to vote and if they need a ride to the ballot box on Election Day, dammit, I'm gonna give them one. This way, I will feel a ...

There is an American woman named Dorothy Com, or Dot Com.

I have to disagree. Being a Nice Guy is an exercise in futility. People are confusing the whole idea. Recovering from being a Nice Guy does not mean being an a**hole. There is absolutely nothing wrong with deciding to stop pleasing others, because it does not work. It's about just being yourself and...

Burn everything in the box ASAP. You could potentially spend the rest of your natural life dwelling in self-pity and misery while toying with the contents of the box, couldn't you? There won't be any kind of real healing if you constantly dwell on her and her miserable ways. Like taking a dagger and...

That's interesting...my idea of "letting go" is to forget the floozie. A clean break! She doesn't even deserve this grief you're agonizing over. This is why you can't burn the stuff. If you never deal with this, it'll be in the back of your mind every time you ever look at a girl. Every time you eve...

That kind of pain sure hurts. I feel for ya. All I can recommend to you is that you keep your chin up--everything that reminds you of her--if it is within 50 yards of you--get rid of it. Pack up all the photos and all the crap and woeful reminders and 1. put it in a box and burn it or 2. put it in a...

Yeah....how on earth does human feces get on strawberries? That was intriguing to me. Now I know.

More reason to buy domestic organic. Factory farming will follow in parallel, a civilization doomed to fail.

Why not slow down the rapidly growing size of the forum? Allow the hyper-posters to change their post count to whatever number they like, because the number is irrelevant. That way, they can feel more important without leaving all the pointless posts. The only prolific poster I've seen on this forum...

Someone posted this around this time last year, but I haven't seen it come up recently.

Happy Holidays to all the fellow regulars and enjoy the snow globe.

I read this article too, and it sounds about right: "In August, the Columbia Accident Investigation Board at NASA released Volume 1 of its report on why the space shuttle crashed. As expected, the ship's foam insulation was the main cause of the disaster. But the board also fingered another unusual ...

I've worked for a famous PCB (printed circuit board) manufacturing company. We routinely ran systemboards, or motherboards, through an x-ray machine as a part of the production process. It helps detect cracked solder joints that would normally be missed by QA. X-rays aren't likely to do anything bad...

What would lead your parents to that decision about your computer? Do you game a lot/all the time? Maybe they're trying to spare you from potential grief in the future.

I'ma get me one of those WD Raptors too, when I build a new system with an Athlon 64, this December. I have heard lots of good things, plus it's serial ATA!

jsbach11

It's not really MS; it's C++ that they use to code Windows that leads to memory leaks. MemTurbo works pretty well. I've tried it. The problem is that it cripples itself after 30 days unless you pay money for the license. There is freeware out there that works just as well, for free. Try RamBooster. ...

Quake 3 sucked. Quake 4 will probably suck too. Jump like a bunny rabbit and shoot!

I would like to play CS again, but the stupid game doesn't really work on NT systems, at least the version I have. I heard that a newer retail version can fix that. Screw that!!! I'm not buying the same damn game again. I'm just gonna wait for CS2 after HalfLife2 comes out, and I get a better video ...

I know you already made your decision and already got your speakers. You should take a look at this, though, if it can make you feel better about your decision: http://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/ProAct5.1/ They look familiar, huh? Alesis is a highly regarded name in studio recording, too. You p...

jsbach11

Just because Logitech hasn't been in the audio business for as long as A-L doesn't mean that their equipment isn't as good or even better.

Take at look at these Alesis studio recording monitors. Look familiar?

Here's a link to another fun one, a card trick, along the same lines which does "work":

I have the same thing happen to me when I leave the computer idle for a long time, sometimes I come back to it and the keyboard (Microsoft Office KB) doesn't work, but the mouse does. Rebooting fixes it. I also use Win 2000.SP3. I don't overclock anything but my video card which I do know causes spo...

Also, a key thing to know is: INTEGRATED IS NOT A FANCY WORD FOR 'BETTER'. That was funny. I didn't think that anyone thought that integrated meant a good thing. "Integrated" means, besides "avoid avoid avoid" for me, that the sound or video is located on the motherboard, or "on-board." This means ...

This is a good read about spam email: http://www.shrednow.com/spamcrime/index.html After I read that some time ago, I forward all the spam I get to: uce@ftc.gov Somedays when the spam is particularly thick, it takes me longer than I'd like to forward all the messages, but it's really gratifying to m...

38 SUVs fit into this category including the one from Cadillac and several each from the major auto makers. I don't drive an SUV or operate my own business, but this sure is interesting.

I haven't read anything recently but the Athlon 64 (Clawhammer/San Diego), previously code-named Clawhammer, I think, will be coming out at around 3GHz. I had read somewhere (sorry, can't remember where--it was months and months ago) that the chip will debut at 4300+ for the PR scale. That doesn't e...
