    PC Beta Sept. 29th, 27th with Origin pre-order

    I just can't enjoy this game, and I've really tried. I'm level 13 now, but I just can't play it for more than a round at a time. I hate how EA leaves steam to start their own service, they fail miserably at it, but people still use Origin because they want BF3. "Oh look, you want to play BF3...

    Hard locks and bluescreens?

    Have you checked your system log in the event logs in computer management? It'd be a good place to start looking for reasons.

    Ransomware?

    Sounds like Russia is a major player in this, at least according to wikipedia:

    Ransomware?

    I wonder how intelligent it is. I basically have no data on my main hard drive and keep everything on a second drive. So if they encrypted my documents folder and my desktop they'd get a couple save game files and game icons. There's no telling where the money goes once you send it. Once it...

    Go to your 'computer management' check the 'event viewer' and the 'system log' and see what error the BSOD is throwing at you.

    metro 2033 ruined my day

    This is the first time anything like this has happened, and it'd be interesting if heat was the issue. I have a 5770, an i5-2500k, and 8gb of ram. I've got two 120mm fans plus the fan from my power supply is below my video card. I know I've played metro for over an hour in the past with no...

    S&P Downgrades U.S. Credit Rating

    Guys it's okay, the ultra-rich still get to keep their tax breaks! Which they have promised us will be used to create jobs in their companies and so their tax breaks will trickle down to their middle class workers kept in private offshore accounts so it will remain safe for their retirement and...

    metro 2033 ruined my day

    I started up metro 2033, had my mouse over the 'continue' button at the main menu but I walked away for a few moments. When I come back the menu is just starting to fade to black so it can start playing the game into again, but I click 'continue' right as it fades to black. The game starts, I...

    Diablo III Auction House

    Look at the D2 economy though. There was a time when 6 pskulls could buy you an soj, now the only way of getting an soj is finding one or finding an equally rare item that's worth an soj. Or you could go on one of the numerous item sites, drop $1.50 and get 2 sojs in a few minutes. It sucks...

    Woman fined for asking theatre patron to turn off cell phone

    His story ****ing pisses me offi. He was in an important text, not just any old text. He was holding the phone so close to his chest that he could barely see the screen, so obviously other people would have an even harder time, and this makes the guy obviously very courteous. He couldn't...

    Obama conducts "one of the greatest attacks on working people in U.S. history"

    I feel like it's all about who gets the blame over the decision. If the republicans say they aren't 'raising' taxes and obama says he absolutely is 'raising' taxes, then all the republicans have to do is wait long enough. If obama is so stubborn he doesn't pass the bill then he gets all the...

    Spilled coffee near USB ports - mouse doesn't work

    you might be on to something with the water deeper inside, I'd set the connector up maybe in some sunlight, and come back to it later and try again.

    Apple is greedy, Steve Jobs sucks etc....

    yea, I was just hoping the diagrams might provide an example of what all this general terminology means. "the user does something, the cpu does some processing, and an output is output!" and looking back. How did they even test that 'image' section to the patent if 3 operating systems and 5...

    Apple is greedy, Steve Jobs sucks etc....

    I feel like I'm taking crazy pills here but I try and click on the 'images' on the patent website so I can see what they've drawn and in ubuntu Chrome, FF5, and Opera all tell me there's a missing plugin and it can't display the images. So I load up XP, chrome and IE tell me there's a problem...

    Battlefield 3

    I'm scared that people are now going to be more drawn towards going prone in a bush, or behind a rock, and just picking people off as they pass. Removing prone in BC2 was great, because it meant you couldn't hide that well so you had to fight because the likelihood of somebody missing you was...

    [Repetitive Threads] Snow!

    the heat index is what it 'feels like' outside. So it was actually 103* F (39C) but with the humidity it 'feels like' 115* F (46C). edit: or as wiki describes, "The heat index (HI) is an index that combines air temperature and relative humidity in an attempt to determine the human-perceived...

    Laptop troubles.

    is this windows 7 or XP? Open up 'computer management' and expand 'event log' then 'windows logs' then 'system.' Find the last time it restarted and see if the logs have anything to say out it. It should have like a 'critical' warning to go with it. It's weird you can't hold the power button...
