    The Fall of Voodoo

    I remember, at the DFW lan party of 2001, it was announced 3DFX was bought out by Nvidia. Politics had invaded even graphics cards, and there were Nvidia fanboy FOOLS running around how cool it was that there would be no more Voodoo cards. My only response was "Do you not know how...

    Who's still running i5-2500K?

    Yup... that was the first thing I tried. PSU is fine. This is the first intel proc I've ever had fail on me... literally... and I've been building these dang things since the Pentium 2. The mounting design of the LGA 1155 is really infuriating... Such a poor design. You have to take...

    Who's still running i5-2500K?

    Sigh... I was playing a game today, and all was fine and dandy with my Asus P8p67 w/ the good ol i7 2600k... Then all power dies to the system. Doesn't power on. If I disconnect the power, and wait for the green LED on the mobo to go off, I can reconnect, hit the power button, and see the...

    So my GTX 670 died... I picked up a GTX 960... meh

    Can it run most games at 1920x1080 with high details at 60fs? Yes? That's what I call a good gaming card.

    The 960 is nice... but that narrow bus really hurts it. I want to see the 970 around 200.

    I reinstalled win7. 200 bucks... so, basically, I'd want to see it compared to the GTX 960 or 970

    Do they hit shelves in 4 days, as well?

    So my GTX 670 died... I picked up a GTX 960... meh

    So... the 960 is slightly faster... I'll give it that. But, it may just be me, but games seem to take much longer to load. And if I alt-tab out of a game, that's a bit slower as well. I don't game above 1920x1080, and super high details don't mean much I'm betting this has something...

    Google Discloses Its Diversity Record, And It’s Not Good

    This is bullshit. You hire the right person for the job. That's it. When you start hiring people to be "diverse," you cause harm to your company. I worked for a fortune 50 company who decided to hire a brainless blonde bimbo around 25 yrs old, as the manager of our group, because she looked...

    Google Chromecast Adds Hulu Plus App

    I just hooked up chromecast to an hdmi ready tv last night, and within 3 minutes was on netflix controlling through my galaxy S3. These things are great if your tv doesn't have the ability to natively be controlled by your phone (like new expensive ones do). I don't feel locked down to my...

    Sandy Bridge = Legendary?

    And of course, the 100 dollar more proc of the time, the i7 2600k builds on top of the i5 with hyper-threading. I've yet to run anything this processor can't handle and I "only" have a GTX 670. I was skeptical at first, but more and more, it seems like the low adoption rate of win8 will be...

    How To Clean Your Video Card

    I know this is an april fools joke, however I *HAVE* washed dirty components, including video cards, let them dry for a few days, and continue using them no problem. Am I just that good? Just that lucky? I don't know. I can say it works. Not an April fools joke. If you don't know how...

    The Key to Science Is Being Wrong

    Heck, if we are going on the amount of times I've been wrong, I would have made a great scientist! I think the idea is to realize that you might always be wrong, and not to count how many times.
