It may be a little late for comments on this, but I have to say that I enjoyed working at Best Buy in the Geek Squad for two years (2004-2006). I actually opened a new store and served as the Double Agent, which is the person who works in store and …

We have several machines here at work running Matlab and all of them have 8GB of RAM. You'd be surprised how much adding more cores and RAM can really speed up certain functions in Matlab.

I've been playing SC2 and haven't noticed much performance issues on high. I have a quad core Phenom II X4 9850 and an ATI Radeon 4850. Since SC2 can use multiple cores, it could be the fact that I'm running two more cores which makes my performance…

This really isn't that surprising, just a poor design flaw no one noticed until it went public. I hope they do come up with a fix. It didn't deter me from ordering a new iPhone however. I really would prefer a Droid X or the upcoming Droid 2, but co…

Have you tried getting a different milk? I used to get 1% generic milk, but then I started buying Hood Low-fat milk. The difference was the fat and the fact that Hood screens their producers for growth hormones and antibiotics. It really did help me…

Mirage, I would say that for those long rides you definitely need some good fuel. People will swear up and down this or that works for them. You will need to try things out and find out what works best for you. I generally ride 200+ miles per week i…

Work and other crap has been keeping me busy. I finally put away enough boxes to reach the computer!
-
Hey Guys. I should be available Tuesday nights before 9pm and Friday and Saturday Nights. Not this Friday since there is an Oktoberfest party, but I should be around this Saturday.
-
I should be on tonight as well. Last few times have been a bust. I added you _k_ to my friends list.
-
I'll be online tonight, anyone around?
-
I know how that is. How I've come to despise the connection in the Candlewood suites in Cincinnati. I spent far too many nights there. I could barely do anything on that thing. Maybe once I was actually able to play games on my laptop.
-
Hey guys? Anyone up for playing some L4D tonight? I should be on between 8pm and 9pm.
-
Also when looking, if you have access to a Credit Union, give that a shot. The CU where I work has good rates, requires only a 5-10% down payment for new homeowners, there is a lower rate for new homeowners and you get a 0.5% discount on a HELOC if …

The game was ok. I really liked the DesertCombat Mod for Battlefield 1942 better. I wasted hours on that with my roommates in college.
-
And sorry to CannonFodder for booting him off the roof.
-
It's no fun when game keeps crapping out after 5 minutes. Hope it's better from now on!

I think the Airport simply becuase you are so exposed. The other you at least have places you can hide, or set up a defense.

I got a Tivo HD, a Phenom X4 9850, 4GB of RAM, AMD Radeon 4870 HD 512MB and a 1TB Western Digital Hard drive. Oh and the people down stairs got us something....bed bugs. Freaking bed bugs. And not one pest control company will send someone out fo…
-
I'll be around. What time you planning on being on?
-
I can play tonight. Do I need an invite to get on the server?
-
I live in Boston. I do have the misfortune to have to work from 4am to 6am on December 27th. You staying in town, or out in the 'burbs somewhere?
-
OK, so I purchased TF2 on Steam last night. I'll play a little online to get the hang of it. Let me know when you guys will be back on the server.
-
It's pretty good, but it is certainly more political than the corporate world. I'll certainly put up with it though.

Finished school a while back, got a job that required traveling for 2 years. The travel sucked, but I liked the job and learned much about data storage. Now I have a Senior Storage Administrator job at a University. Good pay, good benefits, so I can…

At least with most new motherboards you can buy the AM2+ Phenom II's and use them. DDR3 doesn't offer much of an advantage yet. It is much like how the Athlon's kept people on DDR longer after DDR2 came out since there was no advantage to be had. Al…
-
Around. I had other crap going on for a while. I just built a new rig and started gaming again. I hope to be able to stick around.
-
Hey, is anyone playing today? I'm snowed in here and have nothing better to do.
-
The latest Suse is 10.0 which is much better, that is something to try.
-
So far I have learned C, C++, Perl, Tcl/TK and Awk. I have gotten a bit into it, and it is pretty much old hat. Just a few quirks here and there. Not a bad language though. Thought I recommend getting the newest books. A friend gave me a book to use…

I use TrendMicro PC-Cillin for antivirus and firewall. It's not too expensive and it's got good detection rates. It's much lighter than Norton, which is true for most other products. They have a good antispyware too. I can't use Zonealarm because fo…
-
I can't say which one to go with, but I can tell you stay away from RedHat. I've had nothing but problems with it. At work I use SuSE 10.0, which is pretty good and has a nice feel.
-
the reason Cox is so good where I am is CT and RI are on the same network and Cox is competing with FIOS in RI. Thus speeds better be good or all the RI customers would go do FIOS. I know quite a few people who have Cox and thiers it just as fast. A…

Advertised: 5Mbps/2Mbps from Cox Actual: 4.8Mbps/1.5Mbps

I'm waiting for as long as possible. Maybe even try to skip this version of windows and wait for the next. But alas. if they don't put DX10 on XP, I'll be forced to. Which sucks of course.

GooD, c'est une grand tour! Je sais l'Internet est bon. Je n'ai pas eu l'Internet grand vitesse pendant beacoup d'années, et finalement je l'ai obtenu! J'espere que vous l'appréciez beaucoup. C'est un bonne article aussi bien. Salut!

well, you paid for an mp4, which can be played on an ipod. Otherwise you're stuck for digital players. Unless you own an ipod, don't buy from the music store. I own one, so I buy from there. Otherwise buy from some other source or buy from the store…

bothered, just put the songs into a play list, the icon in the upper right corner will turn into a burn disc icon and you can burn the songs you bought plus others if you add them to the playlist. You can burn as many discs as you want, but don't tr…

At work I use SuSE 10.0 32bit. At home I use SuSE 10.0 64bit. A lot of people I work with use Fedora Core 4, mainly because some stuff we have is using rpms, but since I'm something totally seperate I use SuSE. I have a lot less problems with it.

right click on my computer, click advanced tab, under performance, click settings. Under the visual effects tab, click on "use drop shadows for icons on the deskop".

Usually they won't ship you such an early verison of the motherboard BIOS. I would go with at least the 3800+. The dual core is really nice. You'll never want to go back.
-
Yes, that would all work. But I will jump in and say that you should go with the Opteron instead of the X2. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16819103584 It's a little lower clock speed, but less expensive. They seem like better…
-
Yeah, you should be all set. Just pop it in and go. However, I would recommed upgrading the BIOS to insure compatibility with such a new chip.
-
I thought I heard wrong myself, but when I heard the news story a second time, yup, they said UP TO $900. It will hopefully be less.
-
D'OH, I just bought mine.....
-
I heard on CBS 880AM in NYC that it could be a Christmas 2006 release and that it could cost up to $900! Thats insane, might as well buy a computer.
-
there are also other intel nforce 4 motherboards around that price point. take your pick! I still have stock cooling. I'm waiting until I have the cash for a big typhoon. Then I am going to OC more. Right now I have my machine at 3.2Ghz with the sto…

I have the same chip with a gigabyte nforce 4 motherboard. It does overclock well, and the nvidia chip sets allow you to fix the memory to the FSB, or to lock it at 400, 533, or 667 while the FSB changes. It's pretty sweet. TO get a good overclock, …

Shouldn't the title of this news post really be "The Empire Strikes Back....."?

I got 4005 on my system. Pentium D 930 Evga 7800GT 2GB G.Skill DDR2 667 Gigabyte GA-8N-SLI all at stock.
