These tests are inherantly flawed and mean ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. Here's why. First, anyone who knows about operating systems, operating system design, and image design knows that anything worth comparing has to be compared on the same level. The machines that were running these tests were NOT...

I've got the 24" NEC Multi. Absolutely awesome CRT. You'll pry it from my cold, dead hands as well. <end reference to quote> In my living room, I have a 42" CRT Monitor that does 1280x1024 Progressive with a VGA input. It's an older Mitsu unit that I've had for a while. I've been working...

Hey all, I have this car advertised on both bargainnews and autoextra, but figured I'd give it a go here too. Mods: If this is not cool, please let me know. Picture of car: 2001.5 Volkswagon GTI 1.8T Black, 48,800 mi, ABS, power moonroof, power brakes, power locks, power...

-20F was the lowest I ever got, and only for a few seconds upon boot. Mini-Fridge cooling methanol. Too bad it couldnt' keep anything cold for more than a few hours. I'm working on a new project that should fix that. Old project...

Great find. Just got 3. Matt.

One other thing. I found that the fan on the A/C was insanely loud, so my last design got rid of the large fan (which sucked quite a bit of power on it's own), and converted the condensor to use six 120MM fans. This allows the fans to be triggered and controlled by your motherboard/power...

The way I solved this was to take the Wattage output of all your submerged components, and convert it to BTU's. I found it took almost three times the cooling capacity the rid the system of the heat. So, if your system uses generates 300 Watts of thermal output, you convert that to BTU's using...

Swords, Well, I wasn't going to post any of my new findings until the new project was finished, but this is for your education, so here it goes. First off, a fishtank isn't going to work very well. You'll get some cooling, but the condensation off the glass sucks, and the heat loss is...

I've been running XP 64 for about five months in it's current incarnation. I was part of the 'Microsoft Beta Review Team' for about two years, so I saw it through most of it's stages, from back when it looked almost exactly like Server 2K3-64 up until now. Personally, I like it quite a bit...

Reasons people pirate: 1. It's not out yet, but should be. 2. Copy protection. Why should someone spend $60.00 so they can sit and wait for a DVD to load instead of a local copy? Or have their computer infected by StarForce? 3. Principal. Some people think that spending $55.00 for...

I loved the game. Beat it at least four times, increasing difficulty. Not a fan of the Trigens at all, especially the little monkey ones. Too unrealistic. Rocket guards were fun, just take them out with the M3 while prone from a distance. The game was much better when you were just facing a...

4000/384 Comcast @ $45 per month. Real world: Web d/l's get up to 480KB/s, uploads are always maxxed out at 45KB/s EDonkey pulls anywhere from 200KB/s to 384KB/s, but the network has a lot of overhead. Matt.

Just so you guys know, Chancast plays Soul Calibur quite well. Just set this up a few days ago: SK8N with FX51 & 5900U 256 XBox Controller with XBCD controller driver 42" Tube Monitor at 1024x768 Sony STDRE875 with 2 15" 3-ways and 2 10" 3 ways. Chancast .025 Alpha with controller...

Just bring up the console menu (~), and type in \save_game. Instant save game. Made the game much more enjoyable, especially in the later levels with higher difficulty. Matt.
