That's good. The last thing you'd want is for your new toy to overheat and fry.

I charge flat rates. Consultation is $40. Standard labor fee is $65. If it's severe work such as storm damage, data recovery, or massive spyware cleanup, my rates can vary from the standard $65 to $150 or more, depending on how much work it was.

For a job like that, I'd ask for $80 or $140.

The St. Louis Fair & Air Show is every Labor Day weekend. On the official site of the Fair & Air Show, they announced that 2007 was the last year. It's quite sad because as the site describes, it is a very big event for the region. I looked forward to going every year, but apparently people ...

Probably the only manufacturer that uses hardware MIDI to date is Creative Technology. I have a Sound Blaster Live! 24-bit and all the MIDI part needs is an sf2 soundfont bank file, as their cards have always needed; it does not sound cheesy like the frequent software synths that are present in most...

I would strongly suggest getting a WD Caviar RE (enterprise grade) hard drive. I've had nothing but trouble from Seagate in recent years. WD's stuff though is very solid. I have a 40GB IDE HDD that's well over 4 years old and is still running. Last spring I bought a WD Caviar RE 1601ABYS 160GB and I...

I concur.

Enjoy it! It looks like it fits in that spot nicely, too.

And if it isn't, Blizzard may have to deal with an angry mob of SC players. That would be a little scary.

Peaces or Pieces?

I would rather get a Samsung. Whenever I look at a Vizio next to a Samsung, the Samsung has a better picture.

buying the keyboard means you will get glare from the keyboard too.

Not if the finish/polish is done opaque or matte-like enough to absorb or not directly reflect the light like the Eclipse does.

Zantor

Get a Samsung. They may be a little more expensive, but you get a waay better picture and more run for your money. I suggest a Samsung 6 or 7 series LCD or plasma screen.

Holy crap! That music is energizing!

The graphics are crazy amazing, and that gameplay is fantastic. Now I want to own a copy of it when it comes out! It's T3H A\\/\\/3S0|\\/|3!

AceCombat:

If you want a good keyboard, get a Saitek Eclipse. I own one and after a year it is still in superb condition. No worn keys, the backlight is still night and pretty, and it holds up to any abuse I throw at it.

Avast! antivirus x2.

This is absolutely ridiculous, preposterous, thoughtless, careless, and inconsiderate. I could name some others, but those seem most appropriate.

Each color specifies a voltage or purpose. Red: +5 volts Black: ground Black: ground Yellow: +12 volts The connector you pictured is a standard on all power supplies. If that connector is on your light bar then you can plug it into any power connector (making sure the colors line up and genders corr...

XP 64 bit is not true 64 bit. It is 64-bit emulation, rather than native 64-bit operation. This is according to what my tech school instructor told me in class that I took 2 years ago.

Was this person using the Yahoo browser or Yahoo webmail?

I haven't had an issue with stutter; just slow framerates because the game would be a burden.

LOL You're still not gone yet, eh?

I once RMAed an MSI board, and I was very surprised at their warranty service. The return was processed in a week or less and sent a replacement board that was a near identical model.

In my experience, MSI boards are great run for the money and they last a long time.

Zantor

There is no way to stop a process from being terminated by an administrator unless you use the techniques hackers do with spyware/malware and somehow hide the process. You can also use OpenDNS to block bad sites, namely fraudulent, pornographic, suspect, piracy sites, and so on. I have worked with K...

LOL. Doves coo, not quack. :P Your photos are great in my experience, even though my experience is a little limited. I use a Nikon F3 SLR film camera myself. Shooting with sun behind is always difficult; fill flash would be your best option, or just shoot the picture and burn the sun so it's less in...

Zantor

Personally, I wouldn't get an EVGA board. I would get an ASUS, MSI, or DFI before I get an EVGA; it's a matter of preference and personal experience with various brands, though.

Yes, you are very, very confused indeed. [facetious]

Best of luck to you, SilverFJ!

You're asking for a lot there. I haven't been able to go through many levels on insane without dying at least once.

So long, and thanks for all the fish!

High of 81 in St. Louis today! It'll stay in the 80s for the next 4 days or so.

This is great work! I admire your creativity!

This is really spiffy! Great work!

Warlock: The only Descent clone I know of is Forsaken . It's nearly identical in terms of physics and gameplay, but it doesn't have the same atmosphere or graphic design. If you are looking for more than a Descent clone but any space sim in general I recommend Freespace 2 . It has a very alive commu...

If Descent were abandonware, more could be done to improve it, particularly D3, which is fraught with bugs.

Susan Boyle is remarkable.

Either they pull themselves out of the hole again and have money to do stuff, or they go under and Descent becomes abandonware.

Since Descent 3's graphics are already quite out of date, don't you think it's a waste of time to still consider levels for Descent 1? I have learned from the results of those who make missions that some level designers/builders prefer making D1/2 missions because it is not as difficult to make. D3...

Welcome back, old timer! I look forward to seeing you in the mines!

I have recently played Freelancer, X2: The Threat, Freespace 2, and replayed Half-Life 2 (and/or episodes 1 & 2).
