Steve McNair shot to death!

Wow. Murder/suicide perhaps? A great player. He will be missed.

Tonight's SERIES FINALE Episode of Battlestar Galactica [03-20-2009]...

You west coast guys haven't seen it? ****SPOILER ALERT**** Starbuck wakes up at the end, only played by Dirk Benedict, turns over to his wife Cassy and says "Darling, I just had the wildest dream". :D

Tonight's SERIES FINALE Episode of Battlestar Galactica [03-20-2009]...

Excellent ending. They went out with a bang. The only thing more I would have liked to have seen was a last appearance of Lucy Lawless and a better conclusion to her character. I guess her fate was to simply rot away on old Earth.

Rape video game pulled from Amazon

Yeah. And what the hell is this fetish with "tenticles" all the time in their anime videos.

22 year old ex-convict empties AK-47 into 12 year old

No, it's not allowed. He broke yet another law.

22 year old ex-convict empties AK-47 into 12 year old

Not true regarding the German MP40. All full-auto variants brought back after WWII are illegal without a Class 3. Regarding Thompsons, how many pre-1924 manufactured Thompsons do you see used in crimes today? These are collector items and if not in museums, in private armories. FYI, I would...

Normal citizens cannot get them. Military, law enforcement, and class 3 licensee (usually security firms) are the only people allowed to possess full auto firearms. I'd say that's pretty darn legitimate.

New X-Fi and Audigy drivers

In that case, I might switch back to my X-FI. This Xonar D2 has been great for movies and music, but gaming has been a real disappointment. And to top it off, Asus has taken even longer than Creative to update their drivers. It's taken nearly 6 months in between beta drivers.

New Xonar (DX version only) drivers

Just an update. The drivers for the D2's are out. Well sort of. You still can't get them from the Asus site, but I managed to figure out the links. Can't seem to get a working one for the D2X under Vista though. Maybe someone else can figure it out. For the D2X...

New Xonar (DX version only) drivers

Asus has, what seemed to be like a zillion years, finally updated their drivers for the Xonar series, albeit it's still a RC1. They're updating their Global site right now so you can't navigate to the DL section from the main page, but for any one wanting to try them out, here are the direct...

Alternative Sound Cards for Gaming Under Vista 64bit?

No, it's not nice. If gaming is for you, then you're better off with the X-FI. I have the "high-end" Xonar D2. There are still issues with several games (including BF2142) and DS3DGX 2.0 is a joke. I keep it turned off most of the time. You should check out the Asus forums. These...

Audigy 2ZS vs. ASUS Xonar ???

I have both the Xonar D2 and the X-FI ExtremeMusic. The X-FI is still clearly better at games, but the Xonar is not bad and it makes up for it in other areas. Movie and music playback is clearly superior with the Xonar. My only real beef with the Xonar is that the current drivers have been...

I finally got my copy of Vista Ultimate --which should I install 32/64 bit?

I've used the same license on both. Never had a problem.

Best nVidia drivers for Vista 64?

Not sure if it's the best, but I haven't had any major issues with 174.74 under Vista 64. 169.44 was pretty good too for that matter as well.
