Well. That's certainly something. At least I'm not getting laughed at here. The sad thing is that while using my Intel HD would certainly be faster than using my CPU, it doesn't recognize it as a GPU. Another thing that would really help would be if it used more than 50% of my CPU when at full...

Good laugh, but seriously, does using GPU over CPU folding lead to that drastic of an increase? Or do you guys just have a bunch of machines running it at once? Because I can't compete with that -- I tried getting F@H running on my FreeNAS server to fill up its spare CPU cycles and gave up. I...

How do I go about it? I have the BIOS updater launcher running in WINE, and it asks me to choose between three options: 1.) Make a bootable floppy (won't work, BIOS is too large to fit and the launcher bombs out when trying to find a specific executable) 2.) Make a bootable CD-ROM (won't work...

How is it that you guys are getting hundreds of thousands of points a day where I'm getting ~300 a day if I'm lucky? Figured out F@H for Arch/Manjaro, by the way -- I could never get the AUR version to run right in straight Arch for some reason but in Manjaro it works without issue. I'm not...

Yeah, I thought the jump to Windows 7 SP1 was hefty. I was in for quite the shock. Wow, the price seems really nice, even now arguably. I'm kind of regretting asking for a Raspberry Pi, this thing is several times more capable for only roughly twice the price at the time. I bought my RPi in a...

LOL at everyone above. But seriously, as to the browser you could have used on NT 4: Apparently, HTML5 works mostly okayish on Seamonkey 1.1.18/19/20pre on NT4/95/98. Err, scratch HTML5. But everything else should mostly work? I dunno, I dont have a copy of NT4 handy to test.

~3 hours? Pshhh, try three days. Happy holidays, guys. Hope you all had a good one, or many.

Same here. I've actually not been active for a few days. Hope he gets through everything okay.

Chrome's systray icon allows for the stopping of background processes in its right-click menu, or at least it did the last time I installed it (about a month ago). It doesn't give you the option during the install process, to my knowledge. Yes, it's stupid.

Very interesting. I kind of did the same thing -- except I made the jump directly from a SNES to a Gamecube. I got my brother's old hand-me-downs, but his N64 sadly broke before I could get my hands on it. Now I play a lot of older games, mostly by emulation. I still own (most of) the games I...

Thanks for the tip, I was honestly asking the same thing. I mean, not literally, but it was on the back burner.

I'm somewhere around 180 at about 5'9". I've never really worried about my weight, except for that short stretch of time where I was almost "dangerously" underweight. I finally broke 100 lbs. at age 12.

Funny. AVG Free never used to do that to me, although admittedly I did get up close and personal with the settings.I don't remember that ever having been a problem, though. Where'd you get that copy? If it was from cnet, kill it with fire.

That sounds amazing. When we have to give our older dog Rimadyl we wrap it in cheese as well.

Nope. If it was, there wouldn't be a filled DIMM slot and it wouldn't be reporting only one slot as filled. Maybe there's an artifact for a slot on the other side of the board? I dunno. I'm completely baffled. Never had this happen on anything I've had.

I just checked, and I do only have the one slot. Any ideas as to why Task Manager is reporting two?

Not at all what you're thinking, probably. My browser is where my ADHD really shows. I'm using FF 34. It's the king of lesser RAM usage, in my experience. As of right now, I have 23 tabs open, using 467.0MB RAM according to Task Manager. With Chrome I'm pretty sure I'd be using almost 2 GB. I'm...

I am slowly but surely getting fed up with only having 4GB RAM. I would like to be able to use my computer for menial tasks even when I have 20+ tabs open in Firefox, thank you very much. I have it set to save my tabs at shutdown but it's a PITA to get them all loaded again in reasonably short...

The latest preview build (if it's not the latest, then build 9879) breaks T-Clock. It won't even give an indication that it isn't working -- the executable simply fails to execute.

Coug, you've got a stronger will than I do. I pop two Tylenol every time I have a headache, admittedly that's more out of a desire to stop it before it gets worse.

This site is very light on resources and could even be classified as dial-up friendly. I'm pretty sure that's because this is using an older version of vBulletin. All I can say is that this is one of a very small group of sites that don't make me want to kill myself while waiting for them to...

Hope you feel better soon.

I can see how a curved screen can add to the gamer's experience. Most first-person games feel like we have a pair of horse blinders on our faces at all times because we have no semblance of peripheral vision.

Just make it as easy on her as you can, its all you can do. She's had a good run.

So it's your birthday? Now, passed, or soon? In any case, have a good one.

I thought symlinks just looked like the file it referenced to everything, that the FS handled redirection itself? And I wasn't necessarily saying they should've mapped their whole user profile to the network drive, just their Documents directory and perhaps pictures as well, especially since...

There's a small utility included with Windows called mklink. It's a command-line utility that requires admin privileges to run, and it makes a symbolic link to the target. Usage is about what you'd expect, but it defaults to making file links so to make a directory link you have to use the /D...

Oh that was just a dick move, Lenovo. You know better. Go sit in the corner and think about what you have done. Shame on you. Before this I had never even heard of dism. What exactly is it? Because if all it does is automate installs I imagine they could have done the same thing using a script.

8-) I know what you're doing there. I see it.

Like not including all of the applications? ;-) In all seriousness, they could have just made a factory HDD image and restored using that instead. You'd think they'd have thought of that, being Lenovo of all manufacturers. I could see HP pulling that crap, but Lenovo doing that just leaves a...

It's been up for almost four days now, that's the longest time I've ever let anything just sit and run. It's working beautifully, a little slow because we're still using 802.11G, but it works okay none the less. I tried to go about setting up a password protected share on the unused 30GB drive...

They know you're just going to get a wireless mouse anyway, so why would they bother putting quality touchpads in their laptops? Now, the one in the Latitude D610 is just starting to go, but it's about ten years old, so...

Touchpads come from two main manufacturers that I know of, ALPS and Synaptics. My Synaptics one completely quit on me. I don't care all that much because I use a wireless mouse anyway, but seriously? Never had that happen before. I'm probably out of warranty anyway, even though I've got the...

Good tips Chewy, but it works as it is so I don't think I'll bother with messing it up. I can't get ahold of any more 250GB drives, but as soon as I get an SSD I'll put the 500GB HDD in the Sempron. Mom has no need for portability, she leaves her laptop in one place all the time. I can count...

Let's play a rousing game of "Who's the eunuch!"

I just executed my crowning achievement: I finally got off my butt and set up the Sempron as a FreeNAS box. It's sitting next to Dad's desktop and is currently staying on 24/7. I did this all without consulting the instructions first (I like to fry things, apparently) and it actually turned out...

My grandmother has the 925 and says she's ditching it on Friday for an Android phone like Grandpa and Mom have now. There's a crack in its screen, but there's a skin on it that makes it look as though it isn't there if you are looking at it from the right angle. The skin also prevents it from...

They know. I didn't. I'm not official, because I can't donate and no one will sponsor me, but I can at least say I'm participating, I guess.

Don't really know, actually! Looking it up, it's supposed to raise cancer awareness.

Normally I'm that way too. First, I just don't look good with facial hair. It may be all those years of going without one, but all the time while I was growing up I wanted one, and now I can grow one and don't particularly want to. Second, it feels weird. But it's the first time I can actually...

This is the first time November's rolled around that I can actually grow a beard, and as such I am participating in the event called "No Shave November." I shaved on Halloween night so I started this month with a clean state. At a little over a week into it I can say that I already have a decent...

Makes sense, a logical step. But couldn't they just call this an extension of the DDR3L standard? I mean, DDR3L is already a low-voltage part, so it seems pretty logical to me... And what about DDR3 vs DDR2, other than speed increments?

A 4770-4790K would actually be overkill for what I do. I don't do the high-end graphics and video processing, and I don't have time for playing games anymore. Honestly I would be extremely happy if I could scrape together enough for an A8 or so, and I could probably get away with going with the...

I got ahold of my mom's old Nokia Lumia 900. It's old, but it works and does far more than my old phone. I'd prefer a newer Android handset but I'll take what I can get. I have to give credit where it's due. For the tiny amount of apps that run on the outdated Windows Phone 7.8 platform, they...

I just came across it by Googleing something, can't remember what. AFAIK I'm not related to anyone here.

Personally I don't see myself becoming a graphics snob. I worry more about running the game to begin with. I do however want to be able to use my computer and have it be relevant for more than four years after I purchase it. Sadly it seems that the only way to accomplish that is to go with...

$1200 doesn't look too bad, actually. Might just have to start saving my pennies.

I have more than 60GB to store, that's for sure. Whether I need to be storing it all on the main hard drive is up for debate, but at this point I have the space so I might as well use it. I probably won't have the money to do such a upgrade for several years yet. Long after this is painfully...

I thought Hitachi was still in the hard drive business. Who all is still doing that? I know Seagate and WD still make hard drives, is that it?

Remember that my Inspiron came with a 7 COA, and it has the... err, 'special' variant of the C2D. It wasn't terrible, but you really didn't want to leave any antivirus running in the background. Santilli - Don't quote me on this, but I'm pretty sure that 7 and 8 will take up that much RAM on...
