Best VNC software for XP... to connect to a Mac

We have a Macmini server here at work, I VNC in from my XP work machine using RealVNC viewer. On the Macmini we installed Vine. Don't think it's ever crashed for me. Vine was a quick and simple download.

top 10 Essential programs for a comp?

It's nice to see a parent actually giving a damn about what their kids are doing on the computers. Too many parents just let their young kids have full reign of a computer in their bedroom and then wonder why the computer gets viruses or some random stranger from facebook wants to meet up.

Recommend for me a single-player FPS

If you are willing to go 3rd person then Dead Space 1/2 and Mass Effect 1/2 are great. I got Dead Space 1 off Steam for like $4.50

Exactly. Better gameplay. You play games. Hence, better. Also I am yet to see any scathing reviews of the graphics apart from the whingers in this thread.

Indeed, and the same professional reviewers are saying that the gameplay in Crysis 2 is better, hence, it is a better game.

Crysis 2 DX 11 confirmed.

Graphics mean alot to me hence I want a serious computer to exploit the good graphics when I can. HOWEVER I deem the graphics to be a MINIOR part of what makes a game actually worth playing. A game can have the best graphics ever seen but have crap gameplay, and thus is and always will be a...

Crysis 2 DX 11 confirmed.

Of course. It's just not possible for someone to game on multiple platforms right? PC Gaming for me isn't about just having better graphics than consoles. Some genre's of games I prefer to play on PC, some I prefer to play on console, and some you don't have a choice. Hence, I broaden my...

Crysis 2 DX 11 confirmed.

I love how all the criticism of Crysis 2 essentially boils down to PC fanboy bashing of consoles. I LOVE pc gaming, have just ordered a new $2000+ rig. But that doesn't mean consoles suck and anyone who plays games on them is an idiot. I love my 360 and PC equally. Also FYI, being a 'snob'...

Do Eurpoeans Look up to America

I am aware GWB was in office prior to 9/11 but was his re-election not down to his strong military reaction to 9/11 and the general public being in favour of showing the world they will launch an invasion against anyone who threatens them? If I am wrong, please correct me. Why was Afghanistan...

Most ineffective CAPTCHA ever?

On the subject of those stupid Capcha things, It pisses me off so much when its so illegible you have to enter it five times. Has anyone ever tried the 'listen to it' option? It sounds like a martian gargling a shot of ethanol under water.

Do Eurpoeans Look up to America

An interesting statistic for the Americans here: Less than 5% of the worlds population lives in the United States. That means over 95% of the worlds population is not an American. When you consider those numbers, it is amazing how gigantic an influence the states has on our world politics...

Games that were ahead of their time

Crysis 2 DX 11 confirmed.

Someone posts a random photo of a piece of floor in Crysis 2 and that proves the graphics are awful and crytek lied? Take ANY game that has ever existed and go around looking at the floor and I bet you can find some sub par textures in all of them. Crytek said from the start that Crysis 2 would...

Bulldozers Weak/Strong points?

I think its too early to call. Ideally though I would love to see it destroy Sandy Bridge as much as possible. Why? Because it would give Intel a reason to perhaps move forward their plans for 6+ core LGA2011 CPU's or even bring Ivy Bridge forward a few months to try reclaim the performance crown.

Do you have any idea how much of a fanboy you are? You have said dumbed down about 50 times, crapboxes about 20 and have implied several times that all pc gamers should be offended personally that they had the notion of selling the game to us! For a supposed 35 year old you sure are getting...

I did read the thread. You claimed Crysis 2 was a shooter on rails and that the sandbox has been taken away from you. I think you need to adjust your definition of what 'on rails' means, otherwise you might find it difficult to enjoy any future games. I don't really understand how Crysis...

I'll assume you are being deliberately ironic. I think sometimes people get so hung up about one particular aspect of a game they forget to actually play and enjoy the game. Crytek has not betrayed anyone. You haven't got any monetary investment in it before it's release, it's their game, you...

Explain how exactly. No dx11 support? That hardly means the game is ruined. It was designed with consoles in mind? Well yeah, as are 90% of games these days. Doesn't mean they can't be good, fun games. Putting a game down because it's primary development platform wasn't pc just makes...
