Flash Player 24.0.0.186 Released

I appreciate you staying on top of updates and keeping us safe, Chief, but has anyone managed to completely ditch Flash? Once every site/service (other than HBO GO) I use switched over to HTML5 without Silverlight, I found it easy to completely uninstall Flash and disable the plug-in in...

WinRAR performance

Do you guys find any noticeable increase in performance by using 7-Zip over WinRAR, or any benefit whatsoever? This might sound strange, but I felt guilty always having to close WinRAR's message asking you to buy the program after 30 days of having installed it.

Why i can only play at 720P ???

Your mobile GPU aside, I'd venture to guess that Risen 1/2 are not as optimized as well as Skyrim. Tomb Raider (2013) is one example of a very well-optimized game. I can get surprisingly good performance at decent video quality settings with the gt 740m GPU and 12GB of RAM that came in my laptop.

Logitech quality seems real low nowadays

^Yup, my G5 mouse has been going strong since 2005, I eventually ended up replacing it since I wanted something more ergonomic, so I went with the G502 Proteus Spectrum, which I love. I would never pay the ~$80 MSRP for it, but it was a good buy @ $50 from Amazon, Their keyboards are a whole...

Bad Company 2 is now available on Steam, 75% off.

I've heard great things about this game, I think I'll check it out through Steam if the servers are still active enough and there are no major gameplay balance issues. I played BF1942 at a LAN cafe, then I bought BF:Vietnam and BF2, and BF2 was by far my favorite but I stopped playing in 2006...

I Am Moving Back to Maryland!

I've read that something like 1 in 10 people are addicted to heroin in Baltimore, generations of well/semi-functioning opiate addicts abound. That is an astounding rate, if it were anywhere close to true. This could be good and bad for you, eits... One one hand, painkiller use could mean...

Recommend a good driving shoe?

Puma's speedcats were decent for me, but any thin soled shoe will do. A very worn out running shoe can be used as well. Some people go so far as to sand down a bit of sole, since running shoes tend to have very poor feedback for the clutch pedal. I wonder if Vibram's 5 fingers would work...

Tea is really so much better. The caffeine and L-theanine in Black Tea work in synergy to help increase memory retention and to smooth out caffeine's jitters, anxiety, and blood pressure increases. I wouldn't be surprised if most of your college friends that age took ADHD meds instead of...

Apparently, a lot of Olympic buildings/structured get abandoned after the Olympics

That abandoned train station looks like an awesome spot for German teens to hangout. I wonder how many spliffs have been smoked there? At this one spot in the Santa Monica Mountains, they opened this bunker to find countless beer cans from the 1950's. It's where the teens back then used to...

Fatties are bankrupting America

Drunk Driver had a .627 BAC!!!

I've never tried stronger opiates than hydrocodone, but heroin is really not that powerful, a lot of people are addicted to oxycodone (~same potency as H) and prescription opiates that are even more powerful than heroin: Dilaudid, Opana, etc. Research has shown crystal methamphetamine to be...

This. Although that amount be lethal to the the occasional binge drinker, alcohol/benzo tolerance really has no limit, and will keep going up the more often you drink. Hardcore alcoholics can easily put away 40-50 shots of vodka (1-1.5oz) in a night, just like they can easily take 20mg of...

son is giving up soda

Going by the 2 per day limit of Emergen-C that eits posted, I would NOT ingest more than 1000mg of Vitamin C in a day. That's already plenty of ascorbic acid; taking more just makes pH levels overly acidic for little benefit. It won't cause a dangerously high pH level, but it's not normal to...
