DirectX 10

When can I find it? Outside from getting Vista SP1? My computer won't let me get SP1...

Is there a download page for DX10? I can't seem to locate it on Microsoft's site.

Man, I must add my 2 cents, I say that Heath Ledger's acting is some of the best I've ever seen. It's too bad he died, I think he was nominated for an Oscar...

Holy cow, I can't get over how good that was!

Registry permissions and D3

I've concluded that games that use registry-based configuration and profile storage cannot connect to the internet when playing online games. Jedi Academy is labeled as \"blocked\" in the Firewall config but I can still connect. Halo and Descent 3 are allowed through every port and firewal...

X-Wing Alliance: How to run it?

Just found it in my derelict stack of discs and recalled all the good ol' days. I just need to know how to get it to run on Vista (shudder) with a digital joystick. The game was originally written for 95/98, just FYI.

My universal remote sucks at long distances. Can I put a magnifying glass in front of it to make its range further?

14.4khz buzz on my cell phone (if you can play it in enough time) works well on the neighbor's dog for me! I can get it to go nuts from across the yard, and it runs quite fast for a little yippy fuzzball :-) Just google \"High frequency buzz\" and click on first link. Should be a download ...
