You would be suprised. In the past few years alone, laser surgery has improved, sunglasses that have the ability to change strengths based upon lighting conditions have become more affordable, the military has sets of glasses that have an LCD type lense that adjusts to every condition the eye is...

You might have directx 9 installed but your card only supports up to directx 8.1 features. Your screens are also full of errors. You might want to check for problems. I used to have a Radeon 9200 and HL2 looked better than that. As for a new graphics card, we can't recommend anything...

Not to mention that the monitor must support HDCP and you need a way of piping audio into the connection. Even new motherboards such as AMD's 780g chipset only do Dolby 5.1 and none of the new 192kHz/24-bit TrueHD and MasterAudio formats.

Check the BIOS to see if it is configured to "wake on LAN" or something similiar. Also, look to see if it is configured to "power on after AC loss". Those are often the culprits.

Quick and painless. I've been using it for 4 hours or so and there have been no problems. There were no incompatibilities or install problems. Everything seems a bit faster (file copies, network file transfers, startup/shutdown). I also just purchased a 2GB 150x Patriot USB key and with...

Sounds like an amazing concept, none of that "acknowledged!" "affirmative!" crap! Click on [Gordan Freeman Special Unit]: *silence* Click to attack target: *silence* Ahh, now just let Merle Dandridge be in some real-time cutscenes a-la C&C and I'm sure it would get solid 10/10 ratings.

Maybe it shouldn't be Steam itself that does it (although I see no reason why not either) but I've always dreamt of a Steam-like service where I could purchase music (lossless), have it stored on my account and access it wherever I like, just like I currently do with my Steam games. Nothing...

Up Where We Belong (Joe Cocker and Jennifer Warnes)

They are fantastic for the price, widely regarded as some of the best budget earphones around, along with the Koss PortaPro.

It's true, you aren't going to get good sound out of an earbud design, so IEMs are probably the way to go. That said, you won't be able to hear any outside noise while wearing them (with a good set, you won't be able to hear vehicles pass you by at only a few meters), so I warn you about...

What sort of expansion slot(s) and powersupply do you have? I need to know that before I can make a recommendation.

Even if my download speeds aren't incredible, I've always had great uploads and a good ping, especially considering the distance between me and anything else.

I keep mine turned up all the way, for maximum pleasure. (The default works fine)

This story is a good lesson. Now the child has learned something; he is an idiot for doing drugs. Why sell dope, when there is far more money in peddling Guitar Hero? Myself? I'd brand the father an ideal parent.

I once built a computer for a lady and one day it refused to boot up (no post or anything). When plugged in, all of the fans would spin up and it seemed to come to life. It was a faulty CPU that did it. I sent the chip back to AMD and got a replacement quickly. However, if your system does...
