    Help! Baldur's Gate Installation Problem!

    Make sure you delete all your temp files. I've had numerous problems with installing applications/games that died in the middle and when I tried to install it again, the crap files in the temp folder messed it up. Deleting those solved the problem for me. I'm getting real sick of companies...

    Radeon 7500 Diablo II performance

    Just run it in 2d mode. Some parts won't look AS pretty, but considering your framerate won't suffer one bit (if your CPU is ok). The added lighting just isn't worth a huge performance hit to me.

    ATI 8500: Potential to be as good, or better, than GeForce 4?

    You must work for BitBoys, eh?

    voodoo3 2000 vs TNT2 PRO ????

    I personally wouldn't bother with the switch. If you want the cheapest way though, there's always a Radeon 32DDR or GF2 GTSv at newegg for about 40 bucks.

    Anyone tried these HTML editors?

    CoffeeCup HTML is a somewhat limited shareware version.. you can use it for free without included Javascript, the rest of it I believe works just fine. THere may be a piece of spyware in it though, I'm not sure.

    MB Suggestion for a Duron 600

    AA0.. I wish I knew all that when I bought my MSI board (probably close to when they first came out and a Duron 650 was the second fastest one you could buy..) I just figured I was unlucky.. Hell it's been my only MB to ever die on me. Any chance MSI would replace it? I don't have the...

    Official Audigy Problems from Creative

    I'm loving my TB Santa Cruz even more now. Everyday I realize I made the better buy. It's funny how people cry about creative for years with the SBLive series, then go around and buy the Audigy.. then cry again. This is creative. They don't care about you. They probably even knew of this...

    It Ain't Looking Pretty For The Cow-Loving Gateway. Job Cuts, Store Closures, and Bad Q4 and Annual Results

    Dell initially had bad sales as well when they said they'd stick to only intel. I still don't think dell's all that wonderful, but I guess when you drop the drawers for intel you do buy your chips really cheap, so they still probably made money off it, moreso than intel would over the deal.

    It Ain't Looking Pretty For The Cow-Loving Gateway. Job Cuts, Store Closures, and Bad Q4 and Annual Results

    Aww, poor babies. Maybe if they didn't sell their $oul to Intel only they'd be in better shape.

    Ugh, I'm coughing up blood

    Don't fret the doctors. I just had to get ultrasound on my nads today, so things could be worse for you :)

    Does opening up a PC game box and copying down the cd key constitute theft?

    Though not a physical part of it, getting online is part of the product, so since you're taking it and another person couldn't get online from it, you are stealing. Simple as that. You're getting a service from the company that you didn't pay for. It's stealing. I don't know why it'd even be...

    If I use a CC is a store legally allowed to ask for picture ID?

    I wrote "ASK FOR ID" on the signature part of my card. I would prefer if they carded everyone for credit card purchases. I hate those visa check card commercials. I'm sorry, but I'd feel a lot better if I lost the card directly tied to my checking account if every person required you to check...

    Damn telemearketers!

    If you do ask to be taken off, get the person's name, not that they'll give you a real one, ask where they work, and WRITE DOWN all that crap, like the date, when they called, etc. It'll help out later if you want to press charges. Personally, the phone should be free. Tv's free, you put up...

    Michael Jackson's scary halloween costume!

    I think it doubles as a can opener. My guess is bubbles isn't putting out enough, or if he can't have little boys, he may as well have little monkeys that can look like little boys, hence his shift towards a monkey appearance. Or he got burned again, he kinda looks like that.
