    You aren't using vengeance are you ? ( downed skill 3 ) - that rallies you for 20 seconds then kills you.

    Why is less than 100% a failure?

    The black or white, all or nothing proposition seems very american, I see it used it arguments against bothering to do things quite frequently. I would guess it has the attraction of not being definitively wrong while avoiding the hassle of things like cost/benefit analysis.

    *Official* Heroes of Might and Magic V *Official*

    Haven's strengths are more in pure grunt than flash. For example, paladins do more damage with charge than level 7 units, and you can produce as many of them per week as you have money, an advantage that every other side lacks.

    HTPC Woes... Video/audio Out of sync

    The obvious first step would be to check if it's hardware or software. I'd suggest grabbing the mytheatre demo and testing recording with that. If that doesn't have a problem, then check out the various options for PVR software (mytheatre, media portal, beyondtv etc ). If it does have the...

    spoiler question about X3

    Looks legit, although Ian McKellen as a 'young magneto' makes no sense at all and the projected timeframe is awfully tight for something that has only a script and a lead actor. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0458525/

    A dozen Marines may face courts-martial for alleged Iraq massacre

    If a group of police shot 15-24 unarmed civilians, including children under the age of 10, in the back of the head in a random revenge spree and their superiors attempted to cover it up, I think there would be a lot of calling for government to be run out of office actually.

    can the length of a column name affect db performance?

    DBA's hate long column names because typing them is a pain in the ass and most DBAs are allergic to GUIs so they will be typing them a lot 8) One thing to consider though is that having really long column names for short columns will really annoy people are trying to view tabular data. For...

    HoMM5 difficulty?

    There is no 'easy' in the release version. They said they would add it for the first patch though. C1 M5, the demo mission, is actually not that hard if you know what you are doing. C2 M3 and C3 M3 are another matter altogether 8)

    Simplest HTPC interface software?

    It depends what you are doing with it. Once fully setup, mythtv lacks a bit in the way of flexibility compared to MCE if the users were not the people who set it up. For example, if they get a new computer and display stuff from it on their HTPC it will be essentially impossible for them to do...

    Is a WD Raptor worth $100 more?

    1 - If you have to ask, probably not. 2 - In terms of two drives, it's an either or. You can either have RAID-1, which is also called mirroring, which makes one drive a copy of the other, basically making only one of them usable, or you can have RAID-0 which merges the two disks into one big...

    Buying card from US, live in Australia

    Auspcmarket has the powercolor one for $379 including delivery, and they are not the cheapest place around. I think it's just the site you are looking at. The main difference for retailers aus to US is tax - GST and import duties - mail order won't work as aust customs will seize it and...

    NVIDIA PureVideo Decoder and WMP10/GB-PVR

    WMP's decision on which directshow filters to use when playing back a file of any given format appears to be directed by either astrology or voodoo. Phases of the moon and chicken entrails certainly seem to have as much effect on it as anything rational. This program gives you a bit more...

    Need Advice on HTPC

    It's true in theory, but as an example, the thermaltake series of HTPC cases have 3 5.25 bays, 3 3.5 bays and support full size motherboards but.... If you use a full size atx board, it covers the corner of the bottom 5.25 bay so it's unusuable. If you use a full length video card, it...

    Apple 1080p trailers, what do you need to play them?

    Oh, and you might want to try out the purevideo trial from nvidia's website, IIRC the 6600GT has hardware acceleration for H264 which the purevideo codec will enable if you have current drivers.

    Apple 1080p trailers, what do you need to play them?

    You could also try VLC (Videolan Client). It's freeware and it used considerably less cpu when playing apple 1080p clips than quicktime did. It's other advantage is that it requires no codecs or messing about with directshow filters.

    Should I kick the 24" widescreen to the curb?

    Do you watch any type of video on the machine, or do much in the way of gaming ? If so, be advised that support for the second monitor is beyond atrocious in that respect ( e.g. directX overlay won't function on non-primary screen etc ).

    Need Advice on HTPC

    In brief : no. For a longer answer - what are you intending to do with the box where harddrive performance is even going to be an issue ? With recording and playback you are limited to the rate of the video, which is going to be low enough for virtually any harddrive you can buy today to handle...

    U.S. has second worst newborn death rate in modern world

    I am not sure what you mean - surely if there was no attempt made to sustain a prematurely born baby it would die and increase the infant mortality rate. How can trying to keep it alive increase the apparent infant mortality rate beyond that ?

    Is there a way for me to watch hdtv on my 24" widescreen?

    Not unless it have TV inputs, and even if it does it's unlikely to have *good* tv inputs.

    Do I really need to give a crap about HDMI?

    ICT doesn't scale to DVD res, but to 960x540. So while the difference between 720P and DVD would probably be pretty obvious ( depending on how you scale it to fit your monitor and how far away from it you watch things ), I suspect seeing ICT crippled vs non-ICT 720P would be iffier. 720P is...

    here it is boys - PS3

    I think you are confusing two different things. HDMI is standard similar to network cabling, specifying how to send things and what sort of plugs you should have. It's basically DVI with audio. HDCP is an end to end encryption scheme. You can have HDMI without HDCP and you can have HDCP...

    Why are there no Japanese-esque rpgs for the PC?

    Xenogears is fantasy as well. Having giant robots in it just makes it a fantasy with giant robots. I suppose you could call all the cute anime monsters 'aliens' if it made you feel better 8) Jagged Alliance 2 is probably the closest I've seen to a non-fantasy RPG, great game too. Unusually...

    Broadband router with QoS: what's everyone's pick?

    For what it's worth, no router of any description is going to help as much as correctly configuring the settings for your, presumably bittorrent, download client because the point of congestion is in front of the router and a significant portion of your traffic is incoming not outgoing. I'd...

    'World of Warcraft' battles server problems

    Yeah, that's what I meant - obviously without access to blizzard's numbers it's impossible to make 100% accurate comparisons - but just for a possible example : If concurrency runs about 1.5 of the 6 mil, and these people kill 100 or so creatures per hour, loot 1 item off each and later sell...

    'World of Warcraft' battles server problems

    I'm not sure that that is actually true. For making it fairly loosely analogous, if you consider every time someone kills something, or everytime someone loots something as a 'transaction', I think you might find that those 6 million customers make more 'transactions' per hour than the average...

    Need a 5.1 system or something to compliment my 2405 monitor

    I'd recommend videolan client for that, it uses ffdshow and runs as is without a lot of fiddling or installing codecs and will certainly produce better results over time than a dedicated dvd player. The downside is that a computer is obviously a lot more expensive than a DVD player, so the cost...

    MMORPG Chart finally updated

    It would be - if it was true. It's not though - EQ1 has asian servers, and EQ2 did as well, up until a couple of weeks ago. See : EQ: East for example. And while it is a failure, I have no doubt at all that they are including their asian market subscription figures in all announcements...

    So how come in all the sci fi flicks (Star Trek, Star Wars. BSG etc)

    In BSG, after the pilot, there are no satellites or weapons platforms because their civilisation has been destroyed and they are running away through completely uninhabited space. In SG1, there are usually no satellites and weapon platforms because even if there were, they are standing on the...

    You disqualify vanguard as being too slow paced and nominate a lineage style game instead ?! Egads ;p. As a side note, the grind in FFXI is pretty atrocious, it's entirely possible that Vanguard will be faster paced. Vanguard is being done by Brad 'corpse decay adds immersion' McQuaid, so...

    So I'm looking for a new MMO

    A note for the people that need to 'be the best' as far as numbers and stats go. You can't. The only way you will ever get a character with as high skills as someone playing since release is by buying it off them. This doesn't have any serious impact on gameplay (mostly because having skills for...
