    Why do trolls have their own flag?

    Cause trolling is a actually part of a company call "InsertFakeNameHere, inc." that intends to compete with the likes of Google and Facebook in the social networking field. Their idea is to first set up camp in various social hangouts all over the internet, ruin the experience for people there...

    I'm going to give up soda

    One trick to giving up something is to 'replace' it with something else. Like using the money spent on those "cans" to go buy some videogames, or get a girlfriend a big gift, making a new time consuming hobby, etc. Thing is, just get something to keep your mind busy when you would usually go...

    A life or death decision! (NOT REALLY)

    Ah, like that. Then the decision goes straight to the cell phone. But that's why I said I thought at first a new cell phone would do the trick, but I just want to know if the "If it works on Windows 7, then it'll work for Vista" will go on for the next few years. IE10 is one example (not the...

    Yikes, zombies are coming to eat us.

    Live humans do not FAP with dead zombies. No Exceptions.

    Name a technology you'd like to see in the near future

    Proper GPS navigation systems that will finally prevent stories such as: "My GPS told me to make a right turn, and I took a right turn at THAT moment, and I ended up smashing into a construction site. I hate GPS navigation!"

    Re-Inventing the Toilet: By the Gates Foundation

    Hm.... are there any self cleaning toilets yet? I could really use one of those. That would be the future. No need to clean that smelly toilet bowl anymore. Also think of all the restaurants that we could go to in peace when such toilets arrive.

    A life or death decision! (NOT REALLY)

    I use them both at present and I need them both. I take pics with my cellphone and I send them over with my laptop. Also I play games a lot. At first I was almost convinced a new cellphone would do the trick and I could survive on the laptop for just a few more years until Windows 8 comes out...

    A life or death decision! (NOT REALLY)

    I have no idea where to post this.... I've got a Dell Vostro 1500 with a 2GHz Core 2 Duo, 2GB RAM and an 8600mgt graphics card... with Windows Vista Home Basic in it. I also own a HTC touch cruise (The older Polaris model... with Windows Mobile 6.1). Both are getting kinda crappy, but hey, I...

    Are there any good expresscards out there?

    Thanks for the info. It's too bad I can't get much use out of that port though. When I checked out the net all I got was SSDs, USB ports, card readers and Network adapters for that port. So I was hoping there would be one SSD based device with the PCIe specification.

    Are there any good expresscards out there?

    I did a little googling and binging, but I couldn't get any hard facts. Is there an Expresscard ssd with more than 100GB that has good read/write speeds (uses the pci express bus instead of usb) for sale right now? My laptop is almost full and I was wondering if I could transfer all my...

    HTC touch cruise

    I just got myself an HTC touch cruise ( the old model - p3650 ) and it came with Windows mobile 6.0 professional. I saw on the HTC website that there's a Windows Mobile 6.1 upgrade, but there's no mention of whether it's the standard or the professional version. My doubts are: 1. Will I get...

    Simple DirectCompute program does not work

    First and foremost, thank you all for all the help. However I was in a real hurry at the time to get a working Example of GPGPU programming and so I had switched over to CUDA and modified one of the official examples (from the Nvidia website) to perform a simple CPU vs GPU array addition...

    Simple DirectCompute program does not work

    I'm trying to make a simple Command line program to compare the times for CPU and GPU in matrix multiplication. The CPU part of the program has been done quickly enough, but I'm having serious trouble in getting the first part of the GPU section (Visual C++ 2010 Express): //Setting up GPU...
