I guess I should mention that I played all mine with the sound muted. Logitech MX510 on a 3M Precise Mousing Surface pad.

I can see now that I was tired + grouchy when I put that final post up last night. In any case, it took about 15 additional attempts to get that score. I had only one other one that exceeded the first post's score of 103 and that one was a 150. The game capitalizes on the player...

Thanks for the indirect accusation, but I did not cheat on the game or edit the screenshot. There would be no honor in that. Here is the uncropped screenshot.

Edit: First post's screenshot updated with improved score. (Old one was 103) Really need to quit now. :drunk:

Well Doug, I know this is going to get me a bunch of "BOOs" but I decided to just enable my NF7-S 's SATA ports and threw a 74gig Raptor in there. I was running out of room with the single 18gig 15K3 and can't see spending the greens on a bigger SCSI drive at this point. If SAS ever takes off...

Too bad you need an 80 pin SCA, Greg. I just finished clearing the SCSI components out of my home rig this last weekend. Need to sell off a 68pin LVD 18gig Cheetah 15K3, an Adaptec 29160 card, and several Granite Digital cables plus a terminator. I was planning on putting that stuff in the...

Here's another. Fake Windows features at Something Awful: http://www.somethingawful.com/articles.php?a=2648 (there's 6 pages of them)

Merc, Do you have any heavy-duty filter lists for importation into the Firefox Adblock extension?

Here's another way to share an image of yourself. :bstd: http://flashface.flashmaster.ru/

I'll probably be in trouble again for posting this, but man did it make me laugh. ***Warning, vulgar language*** http://home.comcast.net/%7Egreegan1/tech.swf

In recent months I've been asked several times to rid my co-workers' laptops of sh*tware. Some of these poor machines have been absolutely riddled with it. On the worst machines I ran Adaware, Spy Sweeper, and Giant in succession followed by a double-check of auto-running components by using...

Another FPS that is getting some surprisingly good reviews is "The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay - Developers Cut" I'm working on it right now and must say it is very well done. Recommended. http://www.gamerankings.com/htmlpages4/921671.asp

All I can say, Tony, is that your wording: ..."any random web-based application to trawl through your entire hard drive, doing whatever it likes..." struck me as so funny I almost ejected a piece of chewing gum during the laughter outburst. My own $0.02 to this topic would be this: If you...

I hear ya, Merc. Actually, I think my HL2 install is corrupted. I run the game to fight serious battles against the oppressors of the human race but all I get is monkey business.

I am really liking that case....Damn it. More overtime. As far as doors go, I've been running a Cooler Master ATC-110 for a couple years now and admittedly I usually just leave the dumb thing swung open. :roll:

Clocker, your level load times are about the same as mine. (30-45) If you want to play with those preload commands, just create an autoexec.cfg file with these lines in it: cl_forcepreload 1 sv_forcepreload 1 ...and stick it in the \Program Files\Valve\Steam\SteamApps\<username>\half-life...

Just be cautious when it comes to the part of omitting services and drivers. It is really easy to fabricate a slipstream that won't work if you leave needed items out of it. There's no safety net.

I made a slipstream of XP-Pro + SP2 + RyanVM's Windows XP Post-SP2 Hotfix Pack v1.05 using nLite v0.99.7. Installed it onto a reformatted drive on my home machine yesterday. Flawless. :mrgrn: There were only two incidents and they were of my doing. Not even eventful: 1) Upon booting to the...

ND-3530A specs released. Link My 3500A is now two generations behind in a matter of 3 months. :rofl: I'm looking forward to seeing how the Plextor PX-716SA (after they release some decent firmware) and the Pioneer DVR-109 fare in the future reviews.

Merc, get your hands of Far Cry if you haven't tried it yet. The "tropical island paradise" settings were very cool in their vividness. I just started playing with HL2 yesterday.

Taiyo Yuden T02s are called 8X but burn at 16X on the 3500.

DVD+R = Taiyo Yuden T02's These are also sold as Fujifilm 8X DVD+R at Best Buy and will report as "YUDEN000 T02" when checked with a utility such as Nero Infotool or LiteOn's Smart-Burn Media Check.

The Microsoft Windows AntiSpyware Beta is ready for download. I don't think I'll be trying it just now. My Giant Antispyware subscription won't expire for another 206 days.

That was my first experience with those stores...The Fremont branch. Bleah.

They are huge retail electronics stores with good prices and rotten service. (typically) Their stores will typically dwarf a Best Buy, and take away their customers to boot.

These guys have decent prices on the high end ATI and Nvidia cards. I picked up an OEM Sapphire Radeon X800 XT from them in November. Occasionally there are sales at Fry's and Compusa on 6800GT's that are fairly good too.

Merc: I'll likely not password lock it, so he can eventually fix it himself when he figures it out. The opportunity to enable his content advisor won't come until he goes home early with locking his desk station, which is a fairly frequent occurrence. Citizen Howell: Greetings! Also Doug, Tony...

Oh, now you've done it. I already have a victim lined up at work. :diablo: If there was just some way I could also sabotage the guy's color Blackberry that he runs around showing porn pics on.

Nope. "Bare OEM" was just that...Nothing was included.

Thumbs up on the ND-3500A. I've had zero problems with mine. It does very good 16x burns. Admittedly, I only use it for burning DVD+R's...No RW's. Per some recommendations I've read, I've only run Taiyo Yuden 8x DVD+R's on it. Drive purchased from Newegg as a bare OEM. It looks like...

01/01/05 A good new year to you all

Snubbed again.

Better a picture of an eye than an eye socket.

Is it the newest version? MS released an updated version (v1.3.37) last May.

Somebody's new workplace PCs must have gotten infected with the FAH client hidden as a service with FireDaemon. :mrgrn:

Quit slandering my Grandmother, Tea. *Just kidding*

Nope, but there's leftover sodas from the galleys once in a while. :wink:

I order/receive/ship/stock aircraft parts for a Seattle company that has its own fleet of business and luxury jets. The workplace is at their hangar facility at Boeing field.

I appreciate it guys...Thank you. To give a bit more detail: My new employer has bestowed upon me an IBM Thinkpad T22 to use. It has a pair of 128's in it now and, since I will be stuck with this f**ker for probably quite some time, would like to boost it to its maximum posible RAM limit of...

Greg, I keep a PCI video card for backup in case I ever get the inclination to tamper with my main AGP video card's bios and a glitch occurs. If this happens, a person's best chance at recovering is to flash the original bios back into the AGP card, using a backup PCI card to allow viewing of...

Thanks for replying, Merc. I was beginning to think I had written yet another post in invisible ink. I need to find a pair of 256's if possible. If you run across that Viking stick could you see if it's a Viking I0258 ? If you want to sell it, make me an offer. :mrgrn: How's everything going...

Does anyone know where to get laptop memory for cheap? Used, maybe? I'm trying to get a pair of 256meg/144pin/PC100/32M x 64 SODIMM sticks. They need to be the equivalent of IBM 33L3069 sticks. Used would be fine, I'm just trying to find the best price. I'd be really happy to find a pair of...
