That's really cool. I like the jazz playing in the background.

I recommend RealVNC . It may not be as featureful as remote desktop or LogMeIn but it's not dependent on a single account like LogMeIn is. You install the server on the machine you want to remote to, and you connect to it using a client on the machine you are mobile with. The login information for p...

I know that the MErc add on should have patched you but maybe something goofed up. *shrug*

Patching from 1.0 to Merc to 1.4 is touchy. I find that if I don't mess with ANYTHING in the process, it works fine.

Happy Independence Day!

If you can find out the actual chipset model, it would help narrow your search.

So how long before a signal blocking piece of gear will be blackmarketed? You'd be stupid to buy one. It's not really that hard to create your own faraday box with something like a cookie tin. I would hack it so all it could do is report miles traveled, but nothing about position, velocity, elevati...

If a government offical or officer wants to travel, they should do it on their OWN dime, and not on taxpayer money.

A GPS receiver used to track movement? NO WAY! I don't want Big Brother tracking every single place I go, how long I am where, and as Krom said, a vehicle's computer is certainly capable of recording mileage. The mention of GPS speaks socialism/fascism to me; it's another subtle way the government c...

I forget who said it, but someone, I think famous, said that the first thing a conspiracy must do is convince the public that no conspiracy exists. That's the gist of it, at least.

It's obviously a limit Outrage put in during development. IMO, it's lame. in D1 and 2 you could do up to 4.

The Win XP and Server 2003 discs are key and manufacturer specific. OEM is OEM, and even those are tied to the manufacturer: Dell to Dell, HP to HP, and so on. I hate it because I can't use any OEM CD on any OEM key. Retail is tied to retail obviously and there's no getting around that.

The GeForce GTS models are slower clocked versions of the GTX models. If you want to do leading edge on a budget, that is a good way to go. Don't get a card made by a cheap manufacturer, e.g. Zogis, Jaton, etc. Instead, get something quality but good like MSI, Biostar, Gigabyte, PNY, or go high qual...

I agree with Krom. Besides, about 95% of the time that approach has worked for me with usually better results than using the manager's utility. Dump the manufacturer's utility and let Windows handle it itself. x2. Windows's utility is often better than what comes with the driver, be it Intel, Dell,...

We can thank the federal government. They are in the process of signing the financial death warrant of our country!

If you got the Mercenary expansion, install Mercenary before installing the v1.4 patch. Doing it in reverse causes problems. So, when doing a fresh install: Install D3 Install D3 Merc Install 1.4 patch If you just have D3 installed, skip that step, and then do merc and the 1.4 patch. If you don't ha...

I figured we had bigger polluters than automobiles. The extreme green people must have a few bolts loose.

You could do a cold start on level 5 or 6. You won't have your weapons and such, but you wouldn't have to do all of them over again. I've done a cold start on 5 or 6 and usually get enough goodies to do fine in future levels.

Install the UBCD4Win builder on a working machine (not the broken one). Be sure to run it from the icon on the desktop, and not from the executable or batch file in the program's folder. Put in a retail or OEM (retail works better) XP CD (home or pro doesn't matter; I use pro), run the builder, and ...

That's a smart move. I use Newegg almost exclusively for all my computer parts and accessories; they're the walmart of computers and parts, and consumer electronics.

Hey y'all. As of as I write this, a deer is in my back yard grazing on the grass and clover (no my lawn isn't perfect).

For crying out loud, you don't need to overreact! Isn't civility an important thing, here? Yes, often Dells are useless, proprietary junk; I despise Dell as much as you do, especially because of their market share and how they shove their stuff down consumers' throats. I find that if there is any on...

Personally, Firefox man, I would do only dual head, and only have two screens up when doing Web stuff or word processing. I rarely leave my second screen on when gaming. If you want lots of space for anything, get one large widescreen monitor. I use two CRTs--yeah, call me obsolete; I'm getting LCDs...

I've had some hilarious moments playing on Megerva with friends on D1X Rebirth; it's a rendition of Minerva, but full of megas. There are something like 20 mega missiles in that entire level, and it makes for great fun. We'd do hit and run, chase each other around, and all around just laugh and fly ...

Get a Keytronic Lifetime Series II USB or Ps2. If you have the "my keyboard is too cheap and does not support more than 3 key presses at once" syndrome I had this issue back in 1995 same problem still exists today for most people I find the keyboard controller also has to do with multiple...

I remember the sound from the cloaked class 1 driller; it sound similar to the Sidearm modula from D2. That creeped me out in my early years of SP. The advanced lifter (4-armed red bot) from D1 was creepy, especially when playing on a version that had the bug where music wouldn't play past level 7. ...

Jumpgate Evolution is such an awesome game. It might actually be the only subscription-based multiplayer game I get.

File a bug report; everyone there (including myself) is always willing to help a fellow Descenter.

Supreme Commander supports dual screens, but as far as I know, not triple. Supreme Commander is the only game I own that can use multiple screens.

What is your budget? I might be able to dig something up that fits your needs.

See if there is an update for the BIOS, and if there is, update it. It could be a problem with the thermal sensor or the CPU throttle control.

I wouldn't think it would be too far-fetched because D1 retail has so many bugs in it.

It's the US government babying people again, even enemies to the state/traitors/terrorists. The right to remain silent makes sense; the person can choose not to blab anything.
