iPhone XS vs. iPhone XR? Torn...

I upgraded last month from a 6S to the XS Max. Wow. Expensive? Hell yes but this device exhibits awesomeness on all levels. The old addage “you get what you pay for” isn’t always true but in this case it is. My work phone is a Samsung Galaxy which is a total POS and I have to resist throwing it...

gtx 980 3 way sli microstuttering?

Hip Hip hooray for the new Nvidia 980 cards. I've got one (just one) with 4GB of memory on board in my new notebook PC and I've been blazing along in Far Cry 4 with all settings at "ultra". This is one awesome video card!

Father charged with "headshot" killing of drunk driver that killed his 2 sons

Wow. This is a long ass thread. Sorry I didn't read every response but I must add to the conversation with reference to DUI issues. I am very familiar with the enforcement protocols for a voluntary condition that kills and maims too many people each year on our roads. First of all, refusing...

Panasonic Plasma sets increase in black levels over time

Maybe Viking is talking about the born again hard sell. Almost like used car salesmen, they never stop trying to espouse the virtues of their way of life. Those types can be difficult to endure after a while. Most of my now heavily religious old friends respect the boundaries of our differences...

So I beat STALKER

That's surprising Matt2. I checked out your rig and the specs seem more than sufficient to run the game. I went all the way through with an Asus W2Jb laptop which has a T2500 CPU, X1600 video card and 2GB memory. My game settings were about 2/3 of the way up with Dynamic Lighting on at 1440x900...

So I beat STALKER

The 5 "false" endings are supposed to suck. One of the "true" endings seemed like a real bummer to me as well. The "I made it" ending wasn't exactly a toe-tapper either but it did leave things wide open for an expansion pack or something.

So I beat STALKER

Count me as one of this games biggest fans. I am a true FPS addict and have never liked RPG style games but S.T.A.L.K.E.R. seems to blend the best of both genres. Even with the occasional glitches and cut content, this game is a marvel to behold. A true living, breathing environment that never...

Hot or Not? TDK 16x +/- DVD media $11.99 @ CC

Also, Circuit City has cake sleeves of 100 x 80 minute TDK CD-R's for $11.99. I haven't cracked them open yet but they are made in Taiwan. Even though I don't burn these much anymore, 12 cents apiece for a CD sounds pretty good to me.

eSata drive can't be recognized!

The eSata hookup to my external drive is an adapter. It hooks up to the sata port on my motherboard via a 8 inch cable which leads to the eSata port that is attached to a pci expansion slot in the back of my computer. This adapter and all other USB cables came with the Cooler Master external...

Peculiar autoplay glitch with WMPlayer

Bump for any new ideas. In addition, videos in the condensed WMP on MSNBC sometimes play without sound. All drivers are correct and everything else on the system works flawlessly. I have also tried backing off audio acceleration to no avail. Any suggestions here?

Peculiar autoplay glitch with WMPlayer

No good so far. It seems like WMP has gone "undead" on me. It just keeps opening and staring at me every time I insert any disc. Even game discs. It's creepy I tell ya' and it's really starting to freak me out. Any ideas please?

Very hot!! New xbox 360 core for 100 dollars at amazon, 11 pst Thanksgiving

This "deal" reminds me of the promotion that American Express runs during the holiday season for "awesome" deals on selected merchandise. The servers load up exactly at the appointed time and when you finally can click through, the party's over. Such a drag.

PANASONIC TH42PD60U 42" Plasma Television --$999.00 +S/H

Actually, burn-in is still possible, but it is less of a problem than it used be. The reason for this is many plasmas now incorporate "pixel shifting" technology that moves static images around, imperceptable to the naked eye and this makes the problem less likely. I've got a Pioneer PDP-433CMX...

Pretty neat deal. The package came less than 2 weeks after I sent the paperwork. The bag is well made but kind of small. A great day bag but I wouldn't suggest putting anything computer related in it since "Intel" is emblazoned in big azz embroidery prominently on the front. Some neat earbuds...

ATi AIW X800XT AGP $150ish HOT!

FYI, The fastest card available for AGP these days is X850XT. I upgraded earlier this year and if you're a gamer with a nice AGP setup, this card screams. 16 pixel pipes and fast memory make for very nice framerates on "stone age" technology.
