    What is lacking with this PSU?

    Pretty complicated, but that's how it is, at least according to that list of PSU manufacturers at Tom's. This, of course, brings up the question whether there is anything to worry about with Corsair's CWT designs, or if this is just a relatively rare bad apple. In any case, you should go...

    Cybersecurity $10k Hacking Challenge Website Hacked

    Spelling nazism is tingling... Especially when it's in caps. In other news, Joe Black's twitter is full of hilarious. http://twitter.com/#!/JosephKBlack

    Google Dropping Support for Aging Browsers

    As someone who has a six year old rig, I don't see the need to hang on to an old browser version because of hardware limitations.

    Wow Factor Build Suggestions

    I think the best way to achieve that wow factor is to keep it relatively simple with the aesthetics and get more monitors.

    Alzheimer's: Breakthrough Vaccine on the Horizon

    Just wondering if the efficacy of bapineuzumab is being measured as the ability to clear A-beta plaques or if any functional improvements were seen? Unfortunately, I have heard some presentations that make the case that removing the plaques doesn't necessarily stop the disease, at least in a...

    Are you skipping 2500K/2600K?

    Heh, good ole Athlon 64. Yeah, I'm thinking this is a good time for an upgrade.

    Video Game Ratings Decided By Computers?

    Another relevant piece by ArsTechnica. One thing the NYTimes didn't mention was that the system is planned for use for games that are only digitally released. I think as long as the developers are relatively honest, the ratings will be where they should be. Just a matter of how thorough the...

    Surgeon Uses Robotics to Make Tiny Paper Airplane

    Pretty cool. Being able to remotely control those pincer things to have that much precision is, at least, pretty impressive from an engineering standpoint. To compare that to folding an airplane using your hands isn't really fair.

    More Hawken Gameplay Footage

    While it's true that the gameplay isn't quite the same, the video definitely made me think of the days when I was playing Mechwarrior 2: Mercenaries.

    Bought video card with 2 free games from Newegg. Want to return card

    Probably best talk to a Newegg rep. I expect you will be able to get a refund if you include everything you got, but don't be surprised if you get charged a 15% restocking fee.

    Chinese Build 15 Story Hotel in 2 Days

    Just a FYI, I think this is a case of a real picture next to a made up story. First, it wasn't a hotel and I don't see anything about it being a prefab building. Second, it collapsed because of the poor construction practices and a shoddy foundation, not because it was prefab and was toppled...

    What are the good budget headphones these days?

    I had the HD202s, and they weren't too good. Plus something was bad with the left ear interface between the cable and earpieces, and the sound would flicker in and out when I moved my head.

    PC shutting down by itself and turning back on - please help!

    If you have a spare power supply around or one from another computer that you could borrow, you could try that first. Bad PSUs can cause all sorts of issues without actually being completely dead.

    Really nice flash game

    I'm assuming lvl39 is never-ending, just like the last level of the Warcraft Elemental TD. That's probably how people get their huge scores.

    Worlds hardest flash game?

    Will I see a significant increase in performance IF...

    Ouch. I think its a good time to start squirreling away some funds for a new rig. I agree that the Duron and the mere SDR100 it can handle is the largest bottleneck of the system. More RAM at that speed wouldn't stand to increase performance much if the processor can't keep up.

    So Which part of my rig got fried?

    Well sometimes you get some extra standoffs. But when you say too close, does that mean the mobo is directly on the tray?

    PS/2 or USB for a mouse, which is better?

    If you have open USB slots open, might as well just store the PS/2 adapter somewhere and keep it simple. I still say there's no performance difference though.

    thinkign of WoW...how much life is left?

    Ah. There you go. People will stop when they get bored. But by golly, some people aren't getting bored are they? At least Blizzard has built a game on a profitable lie.

    Spore-like flash game: Flow

    Fun but stopped after ten minutes. I was confused on how the game works. How far away do the food particles go? And how do you fight other fish?

    Civ IV issues

    I played some Civ4 with my 6800GT, and it was fine after patching. Unpatched, there was apparently a lot of serious memory leaks and crashing after playing for a while.
