Time travel, yes I know its a over used plot device but SW EU rarely used it and only used it for very specific reasons. In the way Rebels served it up we hear voices, past, present, AND future! We hear Yoda, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Qui-Gon Jinn, Kanan Jarrus, Anakin Skywalker. But then we hear Obi-Wan Ken...

Here are a few things to think about before praising third party DNS servers. If you are looking for security/privacy, look elsewhere (likely Tor). Even if your DNS look ups are encrypted, ISPs can simple reverse lookup the IP address you are talking to or setup filters for known IP addresses (faceb...

A number of financial institutions are now starting to look into crypto-currencies as a possible new asset class, due to economic instability in some parts of the world. Hence, the jump.

Typically AMD puts out a core that doesn't quite perform like Intel's on a per core basis but packs in multiple cores for increased throughput. If Intel matches the core count and clock of AMD, then AMD must compete on per core efficiency or price. (I know, I'm Captain Obvious). Historically, Intel ...

I exclusively use my optical drive for blu-rays (ie game installs are all via steam now).

I've already replaced my blu-ray drive once. So it gets a lot of use in my comp.

What the companies are banking on is: co-existence. GC/PS2/Xbox co-existed, and so will Wii/Xbox360/PS3. DS and PSP are co-existing. No wants there to be only Intel, just as much as no one wants there to be just nVidia or ATI(AMD). The companies are banking on the idea that both can exist as long as...

I too had the problem of keeping up with expensive cartridges. Therefore, I resolved to do non-photo printing at home, and instead use other services. I've tried Walmart online w/shipping, Walmart online 1-hr, and Target. I did not like Walmart online w/shipping, as the 8x10 photos I received were g...

When anandtech opens the second paragraph of his review with this line: "But even before we begin, we have to go back to the 8800 GTS 320 and talk about what a terrific value it is for people who want great performance and don't need ultra high resolutions with AA cranked up" I don't give ...

Wireless?

Everything I've heard about ADT is that they strongly discourage the use of wireless, because you don't want bad reception to prevent the home base from knowing if you are being burglarized.

I waiting for AM3...or whatever platform AMD decides to support for a decent amount of time. I was hacked off that AMD kept changing sockets over and over, while Intel seemed to stay pretty steady with the same socket. I was totally pissed when they killed s939 (since my 939 shuttle mobo died right ...

Yeah, I remember seeing the Prestige, and wondering what all Tesla actually did figure out. However, the problems still remain. 1) If you are transmitting energy and it isn't received (ie there isn't a receiver), what happens to it and how? 2) If you are constantly transmitting energy regardless of ...

I agree with gerbilspy. Ignore her, and wait for legal papers. However, it is not a bad idea to go ahead and KNOW which attorney you will go to, in case the hammer falls. A year ago, I sought legal council for a looming real estate problem. Luckily I didn't need him to represent me, but I got good s...

I'm not a legal expert. But, in my opinion, here is a valid defense. 1) RIAA must prove that the file transmitted actually is copyrighted data (ie they can't go off of simply the file name. 2) RIAA must prove it legally acquired the information. 3) They must prove that they have the right to demand ...

I've had a D-Link router for a couple years now (wireless and wired) and I've had no problems with it. In fact I switched when the Linksys router I had for less than a month went screwy. So, I don't think Linksys is necessarily better or worse than D-Link, as people just have different experiences w...

I was reading announcements toward the development of transistors that switch by using photons rather than electrons. This seems quite interesting to me, besides getting 100 times increase in speed. As we all know, a photon is a component of light, similar to how an electron is a component of an ato...

Hmm, Let me think here, as I have run into something similar a few times. So let's see if we can logically lock this one down. First the obvious. It shouldn't take several seconds to connect to a local address like that. Local connections shouldn't do that unless there is a problem between router/mo...

lol.

Nothing wrong with impersonating a police officer....oh wait a minute.

With AMD changing their sockets so frequently now (I'm already hearing about AM3 soon) and with Intel right now at the right price per performance, I'd say buy Intel.

...MSoft is the one pushing recycled garbage in this whole deal. That console has been around for over a year already and is old news. Not much improvement on the horizon. I respectfully disagree. The fact that Microsoft was able to add an HD-DVD drive to their "old news" console to compete with th...

Fearless Leader

Shintai,

I kinda disagree with you. In order for ATI/AMD to get a certificate, wouldn't their hardware have to be verified as producing the same image as MS's software renderer? You can't verify that with just a driver.

Umm, two HDMI connectors to separate audio from video? Wasn't HDMI intended to have audio/video travelling over the same cable?

Plus, do any HDMI devices accept video and audio on different HDMI connectors?

Sounds like a step backwards to me.

Normally, I don't condone piracy. However, it is all a matter of supply and demand. Users own existing hardware capable of properly playing back high definition content. The companies provide a solution. Piracy provides another solution. Using the company solution: Pros: 1) Legal. 2) High picture/so...

First of all, Alarm Systems won't shirk phone lines because internet connections are cheaper. Security shouldn't be sacrificed for the sake of cheapness. However, ADT's website specifies that the problem is quality of service in that Alarm systems need priority, and the thing is that most internet p...

Maroon1, Whoa!! Hold your horses! Your solution should work, but it is horribly inefficient. Essentially, you will be allocating memory for EACH iteration of the while loop. Not good. totoro is on to what the real problem was. The thing is, when you input "5000" and press enter, you are ACTUALLY ent...

It is very possible for spam to be eliminated. The problem is legacy though. There is still a large amount of data that travels the internet unencrypted. As a result, any snooper can grab an email address (whether it is from an actual email or from someone's signature in a forum). If you put your em...

I too vote for nLite, as it will not only slipstream in service packs and hot fixes, but it will allow you to remove most unused "features" that bloat up and bog down XP.

I think the Sandman storyline looks stupid. "Here's who REALLY killed your uncle!" Theoretically, they could do that with every Spiderman movie after this. "Sure we thought it was Sandman....but really it was Mysterio!" I don't think Sandman was a good choice of villain. From the fight scenes in the...

I'd recommend waiting for the next revision. Might have a die shrink and better energy consumption, as well. For an SLI combo, I'm sure every reduction in W usage helps.

Umm, the article is said to be from April. I don't see anything new here.

Then the other guys who worked with Deckard would have had to be replicants too if Deckard just has implanted memories.

No, the others (Edward James Olmos and such) seemed to treat him as though he actually has a veteran.

So yeah. I don't believe he was a replicant.
