Recurring Office 2007 updates?

Yep, had it on the work PC this morning. They appear to have installed so when the update pane showed up again i just used 'Hide Update' on all of them to get rid of the notification.

The best cd/dvd burning software is...

Could have written that myself for how it reflects my own opinion. It's a very rare occasion that i need to deal with physical media now, but when i do it's cdburnerxp that i use. I still install it just in case i need to burn anything and it's never let me down.

Chrome is the best browser now

How do you disable the new Touch Optimized interface? It's awful! That is what i see on my PC this morning. It's not only the main Menu that is affected but also Bookmarks within folders and Right-Click context menus too. There is an option in chrome://flags but it doesn't seem to do...

Best media player

1) You don't need codec packs. Ever! if you have any uninstall them now. 2) LAV filters, among others, are 3rd party filters that (supposedly) do a better job than the ones built in to the player, i.e MPC-HC. Most people won't be able to tell the difference and will be quite happy just running...

Best media player

I've been trying it out since it was mentioned here. I'd not heard of it previously. I must say that after the initial few uses i have warmed to the HFR effect. It takes some getting used to though. Ultimately i'm going to uninstall it as i can't tolerate the artifacts. As a proof of concept i...

Four 500 gig Velociraptors in raid 0!

I wouldn't trade one SSD for all the RAID 0 Velociraptors in the world. It doesn't matter how many you put in your array, Access times, IOPs and Random Read/Writes are always going to suck in comparison. Then there's the noise..

MPC-HC is colour managed, so for those of us with calibrated, wide gamut displays, it's a no brainer.

Dell U2711 vs U2713H

If money were no object, the new panel is potentially better. I say potentially because it's just been released and early revisions are often flawed. Until people start buying and reviewing the panel, it's a gamble to get one yourself. The U2711 only has one flaw and that's the aggressive AG...

2560x1440 27" monitor for gaming/productivity

I use a U2711, and i'm very pleased with it, but wide gamut isn't to everyone's liking. Also the AG coating on the U2711 is very aggressive. I'd recommend the U2713HM to be honest. There's a great review on TFTCentral, including a comparison between the two...

"When Crysis 2 was released, it was built primarily to run on all platforms at launch. This meant that the graphics settings offered to PC users were just the same basic ones as offered on the Xbox 360 and PS3, since the DX11 features took considerable time and effort to perfect. Only later did...

My back is going to crap sitting 10 hours a day

Exercise. Sitting all day causes your Hip Flexors to shorten and your core muscles which support the spine to weaken. Use YouTube to find routines that you could do at home, or better yet join a gym or take some classes. I was in the same boat not so long ago, but since getting back to the...

For those of you not residing in the UK, the Daily Fail has less credibility as a serious News source than the likes of The Onion. It would be easier to believe anything Muhammad Saeed al-Sahhaf says.

Looper and End Of Watch are both unmissable movies. Batman TDKR is hugely disappointing though.

rest more between sets to get more reps, or less rest and less reps

If your normal sessions only last 60 minutes, you're doing something wrong!
