    Looking for a indoor or outdoor HD Antenna

    First, there's no "HD antenna"; the antennas have been around since TV started. Second, what stations (call-signs) can you pick up and far away from the transmitters are they from you? You can enter your location at TV Fool and the site returns information like distance and signal power. With...

    Mkv file questions (answer found)

    Quick primer: MKV is a container format that holds data like video, audio, and subtitles. MP4 is also a container format that is less advanced than MKV. MKV is superior than MP4 because it can hold more types of audiovisual data. You shouldn't "convert" MKV to MP4 unless you're going to use a...

    Upgrading Video Card Question

    Windows will still use resources to at least recognize the onboard video card after you'd install the other card and you'd be running two cards according to the Windows device manager. Also, onboard video uses memory from your system; a separate card has its own memory. You're not going to get...

    Anyone have a guest pass for counter strike source?

    Weekend TF2 CAG clan for noobs and the uninitiated

    I wanted some proof that the userbase had dropped off or any signs indicating dropping overall popularity. That's okay; I'm still playing and am enjoying myself. Now, where will the server be?

    Best Buy sells Ubuntu for 20-bucks...wha???

    It's a Linux distro so it's good ol' Gnu GPL version 2. BTW, GPL and CC license are actually incompatible. Also when anyone states Linux is "free software" they are actually referring to this definition. I'm not a GPL expert but the source code does not have to be directly on the disk as long...

    Quad Core Processor Question

    This can be done on XP. However, my boot time difference using this is negligible. Also, I did some Googling on this tweak and it appears to be not-so-great. Maybe Vista detected fewer cores for you before the tweak? If Bootvis is supported on Vista, I'd rather recommend that.

    Weekend TF2 CAG clan for noobs and the uninitiated

    My Steam Community page I still wear the [CAG-S] tag; at least me and Easy Target. Your being in Europe may be a problem. If you're setting things up you'd to accommodate for the various time zones (I live in GMT -4/EST). Are you planning a to rent a server which is hard to justify paying for...

    Team Fortress 2 Pyro update coming this Thursday

    Nope, it means you need 10 for Bluts, 16 for Kritz and 22 for Ubersaw. Similar requirements as the Pyro.

    Quad Core Processor Question

    Whoa, there! *waves* Q6600 user here; I replied earlier in the thread. I don't think quad-cores are a waste; they're beefy enough for the rough stallion that is x264. However, I fear that the OP did not look into potential bottlenecks when choosing his parts. Thus my "scrimp" comment...

    Quad Core Processor Question

    The only good reason to have quad-core processors right now is to use apps that explicitly benefit from it. I chose to buy it because I encode videos using x264 and encoding speeds increase. For pure gaming performance, it's probably preferable to have a fast dual-core like CK said. Also when...

    DRM issues in Mass Effect

    The issue should be moot as the activation stuff has been removed; although Securom still remains. And I'll look into what Stardock offers in terms of content and restrictions before I plunge in.

    DRM issues in Mass Effect

    QFT. That's we have such lovely remedies like the DMCA :lol:. I would accept if Bioware/EA tied keys as separate accounts but they went too far with activations and there are still people who can at least acquire the game without the "locks." Interestingly enough, 2K kept their promise of...
