Since I just upgraded my game PC to something nice-ish (x2/3800, x800 GTS/256MB), I thought I'd go look for something new and cool to play on it. Little did I know that all PC games on the market right now suck in ways that could only be explained by an analogy to gay porn that I don't feel...

loose vs. lose Ur vs. Your and U vs. you rediculous vs. ridiculous 4 vs. for 2 vs. too to vs. too IM/texting-speak is evil.

I'd suggest something in a dual Opteron. Say, a Tyan K8WE, with support for two dual core CPUs, PCI-X and PCI-e, and as much as 16GB RAM. That ought to cover all your bases for I/O and CPU horsepower. Back in the land of reality, Gigabyte and Soltek make great Athlon64 boards. At this point I...

i, that is a very random link indeed.

Contacts are disgusting. Putting things in your eye is disgusting. I know someone who lost an eye because he wore a set of contaminated disposable contacts Contacts are bad. Glasses frame and draw attention to your eyes. They make you look distinguished and intelligent.

I've used it for City of Heroes and a tiny amount of Doom 3. No complaints. I'm not the right person to judge how well it works for that, since I barely play games any more.

At one time, the Church was the biggest retailer in Utah, too, with Zionist Cooperative Mercantile something-or-others as the only store in most towns. I suspect the edicts regarding goods on hand had more to do with making the local grocer rich than anything else.

I am willing to pay large amount of money for an HDA X10, if anyone out there in SFland happens to see them somewhere.

Cripes man, this is not a long post. Trust me. Alright, first thing first, most likely, your MFT has gone off in the weeds. That's not THAT big of a deal, but if there's no working copies of it or its file index, you have real work ahead of you. The fact that Windows acknowledges that there is...

Best. Flash. Ever.

I like that SuSE 9.3 has a nice updater. I wish it was based on apt, but that's easy enough to bolt on to SuSE regardless.

There's a nasty bug in Mozbrowser URL handling. Buffer overruns from extra-long URLs with dashes in them that can lead to remote execution. It's probably fair to assume it'll be fixed in the next short while, so be prepared to click your little red arrow and advise your clients and lusers to do...

Yahoo IM by itself doesn't install any Spyware at all. It's part of our classroom install. Your son is probably accepting file transfers or something.

A very tiny amount of research suggests that it's a bug in 9.3. I had some difficulty with mounting pre-existing hardware RAID on my 3ware cards under 9.3 as well. When I pulled my existing drives and tried new ones in a plain old software array, the array wouldn't format (boo). I compiled a...

Go fuck yourself, Mr. Cheney, live from MSNBC.

FEMA, Homeland Security, and all the Armed Forces are part of the executive branch. George W. Bush is currently CHIEF EXECUTIVE. Regardless of what you think about what he is or isn't supposed to do, he DOES have the authority to make direct orders to those regulatory agencies and military...

It's also interesting to note that all the engineering gods that made Intel the semiconductor powerhouse are out of Intel's management now. Intel is run by MBAs nowadays and it shows.

I don't know if I've said this before, but I'm really, really happy with Soltek's Via based Athlon64 boards. I bought a couple socket 939 models, with 4 SATA ports, three IDE ports and gigabit suport, and I have appreciated that degree of expandability. Turns out, Soltek's Socket 754 version of...

Grokster turned out to be absolutely devastating in terms of what it installed. Easily the worst thing I could find. SurfSidekick version 3 was in either Hotbar or Grokster's installer. SurfSidekick 3 integrates into explorer; runs in safe mode and can't be removed by Housecall, Hijack This...

Yeah. OK. Blame poor people for being poor. Call them criminals. Fine. Do that, too. Very helpful and enlightening. This message provides quotes from the Washington Times and Fox News, two organization with editorial dictates that align with the right, and both seem to generalize the events as...

Sweet, Sweet Hurricane Irony: Venezuala, governed by popular leftist Hugo Chavez, the man Rev. Pat "What Sixth Commandment?" Robertson wants to assassinate, was one of the first nations to offer the US aid after the Hurricane. Pat Robertson's "Operation Blessing" was listed as the FIRST...

Well there you go. Aussies are reasonable human beings. Can we import some of you before our next Presidential election?

Re: Anyone done a 4 drive, Cheetah, 36 gig, raid zero boot a Not important. There's nothing you could possibily be doing that would be so transfer intensive that you would need something like that.

DD, 1. Obtain some duct tape. 2. Wrap the lower area of your torse completely with said tape. 3. Yank vigorously 4. Repeat as needed.

Since I'd like to keep my job, I'm trying for the more socially accepted non-porn forms of malware.

That is an idea that I had, but the first few things I looked at didn't have links off site. I see now that in some cases doxdesk does link to offending sites. Thanks!

Given that they couldn't even provide public transportation out of the city for the poor, I'd say they didn't have very much of one.

Most of those viruses are Trojan Horses that are made expressly to install Spyware - that's how the ABC Scrabble payload works, for example. But again, I don't know where people pick those things up. Maybe non-filtered results from P2P software? IM spam?

Well I don't, either. Even the porn, which as we all know, is something I'm more than passingly familar with. There's a funny thing: Some of my "unsual suspects" of spyware vectors have cleaned up their act. iMesh used to be scumware armageddon. Version five installs nothing but imesh, far as I...

Sounds like an odd request, yes? And it's funny, too, because I know about three dozen people who seem to be able to get hundreds of spyware doo-dads installed on their computers no matter what I do to prevent it. But I'd like to create a Windows XP install with a ton of spyware already...

I can't believe anyone thought "Homeland Security" was anything but a political bullshit power-grab. No, really. Remember "Duct Tape" or the alert level going up every fucking time the Democrats were making news during the last election? Notice how many times the terror level has gone up since...

Well, I can't help but chime in on this one: the X-Mystique is GREAT for media applications. Jaw-dropping. I own three of them at this point (everywhere I can have surroundsound), and the fact that I was willing to blow $300 on sound cards might be very telling. BUT it probably isn't for you...

OK, installed CDex 1.60 beta1. No FLAC that I can see. I have the FLAC frontend. I can rip to .wav and convert it. But it seems really moronic that I should have to take more than one step, just to have have a boutique "lossless" format...

Mormons ARE weirdo kooks. Just read up on what they believe, and their history, and that much is clear. When I was at Purdue one of the guys who lived down the hall from me - an evangelical xtian - used to complain that the LDSers would send people to evangelize at "Intervaristy Christian...

NTFS compression is based on LZH (the compression used in .GIF files) and is very easy on CPU time - maybe extra CPU 5 - 10% utilization the first time a compressed folder is opened It's basically free, but since most common file types, less MSOffice files and NTUninstall directories, are also...

Ext3 is a little easier to recover if there's a problem. Reiser is faster. I'd say it's a push.

Don't suppose you're using 650MB discs? And did the MD5 check out for your ISO files?

I install it from DVD, myself. Less fuss all around.

Hm. Guess I should've updated from 1.51. Sechs, are you posting stuff on demonoid or is there another "sechs" out in the world someplace?

Utah, a state that is so overwhelmingly populated and ruled by Mormons that it might as well be a theocracy, rejects teaching ID.

Does anyone know of a decent program to rip CDs to FLAC. I realize I can probably screw around with EAC or CDex or something, but is there a program out there that just does it?

It might be cool to point out the CustomizeGoogle extension for Firefox, for when you're so spoiled by not seeing ads that even text ads bother you. Actually, you can mangle what google shows you in all kinds of cool ways. Might also be nice for people to know about the Filterset G...

I read comic books. About 25 titles a month, and probably another 25 that I read because someone is nice enough to scan and post them on the internet someplace. This week *two* of the titles I picked up explicitly declared certain characters are gay. In both cases, the books are about young...

I have a couple of those sitting at my ex's place. Well built cases, but very loud and heavy.

Is the X-Mystique awesome or what? It sounds like you had something happen that is very similar to what I've been dealing with for the last few years. I still haven't figured it out, either, but if you'd like to talk about it, at least you'll find a sympathetic ear...

I think the term that is presently correct is "Himbo". But I could be wrong about that. Anyway, David, I think the concern at issue is the depth of your affairs, and the counter-correlation to the length of those affairs. Personally, I'd say you're doing alright - but then, a few weeks ago I...

I rolled my own backup/syncing system for myself some time ago, but it's held up and actually scaled very well to the volume of data that I normally deal with.

Yes, NTbackup makes .bkf files. Tar makes .tbz files, but both work very well other than that. 'nix machines also have rsync, and someone has probably released a cygwin version of that. I really can't think of anything that I can't make the plain old Windows task scheduler + a batch file that...

I just noticed that Newegg.com has several varieties of X800 and X800Pro below the crucial $200 mark, and a few models even below $150. I suppose that means ATI is about to release a even newer and faster product, but when I was looking last week at X800s I couldn't find any for less than $180...

If they're on an NTFS volume you could always compress them to save about 40% of the space they take up. Or delete them, 'cause you probably won't ever uninstall a patch. Or tell Windows "no" when it asks if it can save system files in the first place.
