It's difficult to understand and it probably doesn't help that I'm four feet from an industrial drum fan.

To be honest, it never occurred to me to look before.

I wasn't even sure at first that the performer was even speaking English.

Netflix finally put an official movie-streaming app in the Android Market today. So that's cool.

Dammit Lunar! You need to shut your whore mouth so as not to further antagonize that fine specimen of Strong Canadian Womanhood. Also, it might not be a good idea to stand between her and Tim Horton's. But that's just common sense.

I believe Lunar is taking issue with the size of the rack on that fine Canuckistanian lass.

Dammit! Now what the hell am I going to live for?

Are you impugning the ladies of the True North brave and free?!?

My goal now is to get an entry on Acronymfinder.

I'm still thinking MRAOPCR from now on.

The only thing in all of Windows 7 that makes me say something nice about Vista is the fact that I have to do a bunch of extra navigation to see Folder and Printer sharing options. Vista had them all on the main Network and Sharing center screen and 7 makes me click through two more windows of...

If this friendly lady walks up to you, just remember that as a Canadian, she just wants one of them there Molsons and for you to put on Hockey Night.

Not drinking in the first place has served me well over the years. One of the important things about losing weight has just been telling myself that sugary stuff, sweet stuff and the usual carb suspects are poison. I still eat bread and rice and the occasional tortilla in reasonable quantities...

It's easier with the mouse. You can use the stuff in the background to better eyeball your angle on a higher-resolution screen. There's definitely more chance involved with the mobile game than the browser version.

Never mind. I'm thinking of dynamic partition resize, the situation where all the volume's space is filled up, not simple expanding into empty space.

You probably need Flash and/or up to date support for HTML5. I'm not sure which. The birds are angry because pigs stole their eggs.

My mail spool is probably pretty close to 20GB. I leave everything in my inbox. The mail clients I choose to use don't have a problem with that. Thunderbird is not perfect. Every so often it will re-set my read mail count and I'll get weird duplicate messages in my inbox, but there's an addon I...

You can only expand volumes on Dynamic Disks. That option isn't available standard partitions on Basic disks. The Windows installer creates the C: drive as a basic disk with the C: drive and System partition as standard partitions. New random thing: I got a graduation announcement for my...

It certainly doesn't hurt. It's more like 210 now though.

Yup!

Speaking of Ebay, my bedroom set of Kef Q-series probably only cost me $600 to put together. I had to spend $100 to replace a driver on one of them but if I had paid retail or "hi-fi store used" that probably would have been $3000 worth of speakers.

Another Integra? No probably not. I'll probably look at Denon, Onkyo, Pioneer Elite and some other things are in the low-ish four figure range though. That might include an Integra, but I doubt it. I'm not terribly worried about getting a gazillion watts per channel since I don't typically...

Someone didn't know how to work disk imaging software?

I'm fairly convinced at this point that pirates always have the moral high ground in this debate. Game companies other than maybe Stardock tend to be pretty goddamned evil.

I built a dozen or so mITX boxes that actually do use a standard ATX power supply. I have no ideal who made them; I bought them from my local distributor the receipt just says "Generic." They're effectively the same size as a Shuttle SFF shoebox.

I think I just might update the receiver in my living room. I bet having HDMI is nice.

Google, in a general display of awesome, has implemented browser-based Angry Birds for people who really want to waste their time and have their computer make lots of oink-oink noises. It loads in Firefox and Chrome. I did not check suckier browsers. It seems a lot easier when I'm not using my...

As I recall you used to swear by Harmon Kardon, but that was apparently back when you cared about music. When I'm home there's always music on, to the point where I would rather sit in a 95 F apartment with no fans on than try to listen to my music with fans and AC. Which is pretty much May...

As I recall it's most useful if you use it on new installs. I'm not actually sure how helpful moving My Documents and My Images are since I hardly ever write data there to begin with, but I know a bunch of crap gets written to a user's temp folders on an ongoing basis no matter what. There are...

Well I would kind of like to know stuff about it since I could still send the Asus board back.

My brother is an insane audiophile and has been since he was in college. He gave me some pointers based on his experiences and then I disregarded half of it because I know he's an idiot, but since music is very important to me and I thought it very likely that I wouldn't be able to be...

One of the great frustrations I have is that everything in the world of Exchange costs a ton of money, especially antispam solutions. It was easier and more efficient for me to get a cheap computer with Linux and Spamassassin and route mail through that than to get a worthwhile mail filter for...

Things that are not Outlook most often store E-mail as plain text. Plain text that is easy to re-format if need be, which can be directly imported into other non-retarded clients and which can be recovered quite easily if some portion of the file gets munched for some reason. What good does...

mITX scares me more than a little bit. Decent PSUs wind up costing as much as a motherboard and Atom CPU, and then there's heat to consider for non-Atom systems. I wish I could take SFF stuff more seriously but it's still a lot easier to get good, cheap desktop parts.

Is it out of bounds to suggest a different mouse to see if there's something weird about the Microsoft one? There should be a pointer settings tool in your GUI someplace, or a way to install it if it's been overlooked.

I don't have time for a full reply but I'd like to say a couple things: 1. I'm not suggesting that your experience with Outlook is invalid, Handy, but I presume that your employer has a staff, possibly a small army, of people whose job it is to insure that E-mail conforms to expectations in a...

At a bare minimum, use Bcc to specify your recipients!

I signed up for a random site because it was the only way to complain about some commercial software one of my customers uses. Now I get spam from every forum hosted on that site. And it's all in Italian. And some of it doesn't have unsubscribe links. That's just about the only spam that ever...

It's not nearly so small when you're driving through it.

That's the Windows support way. It's disposable, so just start over. In the case out MS Outlook, part of the problem is complexity, but the standard fixes amount to 1. Save the .pst 2. Delete the Outlook Profile 3. Re-create the profile and change all the user's settings back to what they were...

It's a subjective matter, but no one here agrees with you. My opinion is that Klipsch is great at being loud and has no other redeeming characteristics.

I have a feeling that I can do better than that for an Ultimate license. :P

OCZ: It takes us six business days to send out the email soliciting information so we can start the RMA process if you do it through our official web site, but don't worry, because you can just contact us on a forum! Nice.

Kotaku had a long-format Q&A session with one of the creators of Portal today. It's an hour and a half long.

I probably do have plenty of room, but there are oversized coolers and then there are OVERSIZED coolers. I think I'd stop at the 120mm fans just because those are the biggest, easily replaceable fans I'm aware of.

It's cute that you think that.

I know my heat sink is on properly and I didn't molest the heat pad prior to installation, but that's a distinct issue from the noise level anyway. I'm thinking I might go with a Scythe Kabuto. I think I have to dust the inside of my case less often when I have a CPU fan that mounts horizontally.

So... vastly over-rated bass at the expense of any sense of mid- or high-pitched sounds? Thor was shot in 2D. All the 3D effects were added after the fact.

I suspect at this point that you're boned, but maybe you can get some advice from OCZ. And I almost kept a straight face when I typed that.

If you're going to leave a 30GB file alone, why not just leave the data as a .MT2S? They're playable in VLC if you have AnyDVD installed.
