Make sure the TV doesn't have a lot of overscan. It could really mess up your computer usage on it. For instance my DLP cuts off enough from the top, bottom and sides to hide the start bar and the close buttons on most windows. I can reduce the format to view the whole screen at once, but that's...
Anyone know a way to keep a log of directory, subdirectory and file changes? When I add new content to my personal FTP server no one knows what's new. Since I have so much stuff available it's difficult for people wade through it all to find any changes. Basically I'm looking for a way to keep a...
Same feelings here as most others. It's a slight improvement, but not much. Gaming I've noticed a little faster load times. My 74GB Raptor is used for OS/Apps only. My next build wont be featuring a Raptor. The performance gain is small and the price is large, for what I use the dirve for anyway.
I'm always partial to Monoprice myself. Shipping is very reasonable, they combine shipping and they're close enough, for me, to drive and pickup large orders. I've yet to be disappointed with quality too.

Tapping someone elses utilities, secure or not, is generally illegal. Be it water, phone, electricity or internet. While in many cases it does fall into a gray area, it's just smart to not do it in the first place.
I've been running Filezilla for the last year or so and I like it. It's not as refined as some of the other ftp server software I've used, but the price is right.
The only reason I can see for a normal home user to have more than one partition is to make reformating easier. All data can be backed up onto the "data" partition while the "os" partition is wiped. That being said, I don't use partitions anymore. Two physical drives is the way to go. One for...
Quit last week. Oblivion for my 360 has taken it's place.
On how DAoC is these days. I still enjoyed playing it when I quit. It is a zerg vs zerg game though. That's just the nature of how the frontiers are setup though. Agramon on Gareth was a lot of 8vs8 action. But to be effective in keep...
No. Normally I just buy the game before she sees or knows anything about it. She doesn't normally care what I play. The hi-def bone crunching slow-motion goodness of Fight Night was something she couldn't handle though. So she told me I'm not getting it and I didn't put up too much of a fight. :)
Well...see...with Fight Night I downloaded the demo to try the game before buying it. She saw the realism and slow motion scenes and immediately didn't want me to get the game.
With Ghost Recon I'm showing her the game before I buy it. Once it's purchased we have no choice but to keep it. I...
Yeah, courtesy waves are few and far between in the OC. I'm in Tustin myself and have no choice but to be a somewhat aggressive driver. People actually talk about when they do get a courtesy wave too...that's how few and far between they are.
"I can't believe that guy let me over. Even with...
My wife hates the realism of Fight Night R3, so I wont be picking it up. It's a damn shame too since my friend at work gets EA games for $20/ea... I picked up Madden, Tiger Woods and NFS: Most Wanted for $60 total a couple weeks ago.
Next game I think I'll get it Ghost Recon. That same friend...
Yesterday I bought a Bluetake USB Bluetooth dongle, which has support for headsets. I also bought a Jabra BT500 to use with my cellphone and PC.
So far I've found out:
¤ Disable M$ Bluetooth driver
¤ Install Widcomm drivers, if possible
¤ Change software settings to use bluetooth as...
Winamp + Classic Skin = 4-6megs of mem usage
I have Winamp start with Windows and it's playing music 99% of the time while I'm gaming. Unless I'm talking on Ventrilo or something, then I turn it low or off completely...
In my experience it's rare for CRTs to need VSync enabled. LCDs, however, are a different story. Many of them benefit from VSync greatly.
Basically, if you see some of the screen refreshing faster than the rest you should enable VSync. Normally it's a very noticable 'tear' in the image. If...
In fact, most of the DRM restrictions are put in place by either the cable company or the broadcast station. I would venture to guess that M$ has no interest in meddling with the DRM already set in place.

When I used Meedio + SageTV I was constantly adding, fixing and changing stuff. While the setup had a lot of functionality it needed maintenance every now and then. Since switching to MCE six months ago I've touched the setup only a handful of times. The third party plugins I've installed worked...
