goddamnit i still use winamp... is there anything else out there to replace milkdrop?

450w to power a titan and i7. Pass.

Yeah, that's about right, having to get about 15 serviced every business day would be about 4000 per year. However, there is also a large factor of repeated repairs on the same PC, as some of these PCs seem cursed as I've seen one that had 5 mainboard replacements in less than 6 months.

i think less than about 5% of there acer sff pcs see their 5th birthday.

Yes acer really really really is that bad. I do IT for an enterprise environment which includes about 11-12 thousand SSF Acer workstations and i think we log on average about 15 or more warranty service jobs PER DAY! This figure doesn't include the amount that break down out of warranty that we...

There certainly is an advantage in the fact that if you soil your name as badly as Acer having another brand name will draw in customers that actively avoid purchasing the other brand.

a merger sounds like a fantastic idea. After the merger, they should set all the Acer management and design staff on fire, bulldoze all their buildings and cast all of their intellectual property into the fires of Mt Doom.

by the amount of nopes and cyas in this thread, going by how other games have performed with this sort of feedback on forums tes online should be a huge success!

Something I love seeing when a game loads up is "AMD Gaming Evolved" because i know my Intel/Nvidia setup will slaughter the shit outta the game.. when I see the game startup with Nvidia, I go aw shit, now i gotta tinker with the settings...

Please tell me one way in which gta is better on a console than on pc. I will note that i.ll be playing it on my lounge, on my 55" screen, xbox controller in hand with my mouse to the right. All of this running on hardware lightyears ahead of the current consoles and miles ahead of next gen...

Price tag: how much do you think you would've paid for 32gb of ram in say 1975? Skin crawling: have you ever seen a cow twitching around after its had its throat slit in real life? And i'm just taking about when they do it right, not about when they fuck up or intentionally abuse the animals.

look square-enix are totally in the right here, but seriously fuck em. They already raped lara croft this year, and i suspect they're currently sticking their sick dick into garret right now. They're just another ea, chewing up fantastic game developers and spitting out production line crap...

"wrong to abuse the patent system"... I'm just speechless. I don't know if i'm angry, confused or just a little sleepy.

don't get angry at an inanimate object that's just irrational. Simply blame 100% of all electronic device problems on bill gates. That's the sane thing to do.

australia doesn't approve of the use of alien narcotics. I understand this is a very sensitive issue over here because of the amount of teenagers over here that die every week in mid-air collisions with aircraft.

god damn it. Any of you nice non-australians feel like gifting me the real version on steam? The game may not be on the top of my watchlist, but i still wanna get it for a bit of harmless fluffy pink mascot exploding fun. Stupid australian videogame censorship.

farmville.. get with the times.. its candy crush saga now bro.. AAA titles ahoy! games should be classified as anything where you make other things die or maybe you can include games where you travel at >200kmph.

Well shit, i should probably only get paid 2-3hrs a day then. My work comes in shit waves, quiet for hours where we have literally nothing to do but browse the internet and chat. Then huge shit waves of time critical work. So should i only be paid for the busy times? Or is it part of my job to...

no its really not.. my pc has an 850w inbuilt and it only has 1 gfx card.. i had to put an additional 750w so the card would run properly (it was skipping frames, and particularly bad when overclocked).. and this system had 3 cards at the end..

xbox controller fail? Yeah righteo keyboard fanboy. Don't even know when different situations suit different control. Don't limit my peripherals you fascist keyboard nazi. You explain how having no analog steering/gas is somehow better for a racing game. I personally don't see why a keyboard is...

I don't know either. i know that when HL1 came out, nothing matched it but imho when HL2 came out, Doom 3 was a far better game. It may not have been as open world but in terms of gameplay and graphics Doom 3 was far better.

oh fucks sake. I hope this doesn't effect the new thief game. I've been anticipating this since i finished deus ex hr.

i actually played a few levels of deus ex the fall today, it was actually ok. I mean there were a number of bugs in the gameplay and it sounded like they rounded up the local homeless people to do the voice acting (you don't realise how important this actually is until it's shithouse). But it...

Just this, i have an xbox/icrap fanboy at my work and despite explaining in detail the massive list of flaws and how that impacts gamers nothing could even slightly dull his enthusiasm about getting the xbone. He doesn't care that the specs of the ps4 are better or that a decent pc can shit all...

Well the failure of gabe's linux box was inevitable. Has anyone else here actually loaded up steam on linux? I did and only about 5 of my 150+ steam games were compatible, all of which were valve games or games from smaller devs like bastion. Gabe would've needed to get the majority of the...

people managed to drop the www, why not the .com?

i don't think i've ever actually clicked on an ad online aside from when a site forces you to in order to download something or the odd occasion that i've been fooled by a fake download button. Who are all these people clicking on all these ads in order to make it profitable? Oh wait, i...

and everyone thinks that texas is the place that would most like to succeed from the united states. Lol.

I may be wrong, but the original release had issues with either post xp or x64 operating systems. Perhaps that is why it took so long from when steam said ff7 was coming until it actually got released.

I remember playing that game when i was young and i'd probably buy it for nostalgia except for the fact that here in australia they're expecting me to pay $16 for this 20 year old game. I mean that's nowhere near the price of new games but c'mon that price is ridiculous for a game that i'm sure...

well gangs do represent a more significant threat to the united states than any insurgents currently do. They're more organised, better armed (well with small arms at least unless you go south of the border), more numerous, far more active, are better protected by the law, and are within the...

i hope that sony's low console price kills their profitability and that people don't want to buy xbox's restricted platform and we can see a pc/steam gain a significant marketshare and force game developers to have to cater to what we want rather than being a 2nd class afterthought. Also kill...

wow new call of duty! Who cares. Actual tech news please.

this will change my life. What's twitter?

check his steam achievements. If if truly hasn't passed that past of the game then give the baby his refund. Fuck him if he wants to skip the best game this year. Also get him to give up any xbox or ps accounts to make sure he didn't just buy for another platform.

But its no different than accessing the folder tree on the old start menu. Clicking on "All Apps" is the same as clicking on "Programs" in the old menu. The Start Menu is an expansion of the "recent programs" part of the old start menu. Its far easier to navigate All Apps that the old tree view...

Dude, none of the functionality of the old start menu has been lost. Here are the programs sorted out by installer, if you look its improved because you don't have to mouse over folders to see what's inside them. http://i.imgur.com/WH7Mzc2.jpg Here are the programs sorted out...

That's not what I've found with the people I've installed it for, and for the most part they're all pretty clueless when it comes to computers. I didn't have to do a big speil like I did here to explain the advantages to those that should already know better, just very quickly showed them how to...

Uh, I'm not about to throw out the baby with the bath water. I've given Suse its chance along side quite a number of other Linux distros. Every time it has fallen short for some reason or another, at the moment my main reasons are. 1. I have 48GB of RAM and Photoshop CS6 x64 just cannot be...

But they didn't even really get rid of it, they simply moved it ever so slightly to the very corner of the screen and made it only visible by mouse-over. It retains all its former functionality, just better organised, more visible and easier to use. I just find it really frustrating all the...
