Replacing a certain webpage with my own fake page.

You'd need to add a manual entry into your router's DNS. This can in theory be done, but I doubt this feature is available on a stock router firmware. As far as I know, custom firmwares such as DD-WRT do have this ability. If you're minded enough, you could see about installing that on your router.

PC Shutdowns after upgrading videocards

If anything in the case of a hard fault such as this I'd tend to blame a hardware defect over a configuration defect. Even if airflow was somehow an issue, unless something was critically wrong, such as a misplaced heatsink, sitting on the Windows desktop is definitely not enough of a draw to...

[PCPer] Samsung 2TB Pro and Evo SSDs

I have to agree with others here in saying that this seems overkill for most purposes. Sure, a big SSD for I/O intensive applications is awesome, but I doubt that most people really need a 2TB drive only for their software. Documents such as video, audio or picture files don't really benefit...

Does Windows 8 still stink?

Honestly I don't get it either. I have the same view as you regarding 8. I keep seeing comments like "Windows 8 sucks, period", and I cannot figure out what it is that people hate so much about 8. Is it only the start screen? If so, that's a replaceable UI element that literally takes 2 minutes...

Interesting New Notebook from Asus/Review

Hi all. I'll add my thoughts to this topic as I acquired a Q501LA this weekend. Overall, I'd say this laptop is incredible value. I got it at 699$ USD and added a 250GB Samsung EVO at 170$ CAD. Overall it's about 900$. I'm saying it's very good value because I simply couldn't find a laptop...

Ultrabooks with the best battery life?

I've heard conflicting opinions about the new super high resolution screens found in the Yoga Pro 2 and the more recently announced XPS 15. While the screen itself is very nice, even with the use of scaling in WIN8.1, you're sometimes stuck with desktop applications that are simply not very nice...

Q
Why everyone uses Window 8 all of a sudden?

Little reason really exists to refuse using WIN8. Don't like the UI? Install one of 1000 plugins available and you have essentially a faster WIN7, with better tools. Personally I'm currently using a more recent leak of 8.1 and it's very good. I haven't installed any UI replacement yet. ;)

New build: Windows 8.1 or Windows 7?

The thing with Windows 8 is that it's really not easy to argue against its installation. The most common argument against it is the UI, which is indeed not necessarily for everyone. However, this argument is quite feeble, as UI replacements are numerous and easy to install. Who would argue...

How to get French accent marks in Windows 8 programs

Yep, that's the way I work as well. Keyboard is physically english, and I have both languages on it. I've gotten used to the shortcut to switch language (LeftAlt-RightShift) so it's pretty efficient once you know the location of each key on both keyboard.

Or a reversed verdict. Think what it would be like if GZ had been found guilty of murder with a 100% black jury. We would probably have the exact opposite situations, and I wouldn't be surprised if there were riots as well. I understand the picture is only a joke, but the sad thing is that...

Windows 8.1. as HTPC OS

UI scaling is what I am refering to. Of course, the TV is 1080p, and W7 and W8 would show up with the standard UI size. Since I'm not as close to the TV as I am to a usual monitor, everything would be very small in W7 or W8 (task bar, windows explorer, w/e). Windows 8.1 has an option to scale...

Newegg reviews can generally only be used to compare reliability between products. That's not a bad thing of course, but I wouldn't judge a product completely based on their Newegg reviews. For instance, it's impossible to know how two "5 eggers" compare in performance.
