    Biggest mousepad?

    Is there anything off the shelf bigger than this? The vertical height is the most important factor here, my Ripper XXL just isn't cutting it currently.

    Zappos .... HOT DAMN!

    So I bought some shoes from Zappos which were delivered yesterday at 3pm and they ended up running small. I was rather sad because my current shoes are falling apart and I knew these new ones would just have me swimming in poon, if only one size larger. I didn't want to lose precious time and...

    Lets talk about wireless gaming mice.

    Lets talk about wireless gaming mice. I personally use a semi-low sensitivity in games requiring about 2 feet or 60cm to do a 360 degree turn. Because of this I need about 3 feet of "free movable mouse cord". Which every once in a while works fine, but just as often starts getting snagged or I...

    Best 4:3 Laptop?

    I'm in the market for a laptop and absolutely cannot stand widescreen designs. While I really don't care about aspect ratio on desktops, 16:9 just ruins the form factor for me. I was currently looking at used 14.1" Thinkpad T61s since that was the last 4:3 laptop they produced, but I was...

    Electrical Short

    Hello everybody, I have a 87 Fiero GT that seems to have developed a short somewhere. The battery gets charged and holds it fine as long as I disconnect the terminals after I finished driving it. It seems to lose its charge in a few hours if the terminals are left attached. I believe the...

    Remapping mouse tilt

    I spilled some water on my G9x and the mouse tilt button is going crazy. Is there a way to turn it off via registry or software? I tried the current Logitec software and it is complete crap. I think the older versions had the options I needed, but I cannot for the life of me find a download.

    Obtaining a universal reference frame using time.

    Lets have three observers: ClockA, ClockB, and Earth. Shoot the clocks off in directions in which gravitational forces are the same for both clocks. The clocks then relay their time to Earth, and the one whose time has passed the most is closer to a standstill. Rinse and repeat.

    Games Like Quake

    I'm looking for Quake type games that still have an active userbase. The last bastion of survival, QuakeLive, is slowly losing players. Modern FPSs just don't have the speed or fun factor QuakeWorld or CPMA had. Any suggestions?

    Yet Another Low Performance Thread

    So I finally got a SSD, but I am noticing that my 4k Read/Write speeds are incredibly low compared to others with a similar setup. I know SATA 2 is limiting my sequential, which is to be expected, but my 4k Write is just dragging. I have my SATA mode set to RAID. Any Ideas?

    In all my time here, I still have no idea what a ROP is and what it does. My google-fu seems to be a little rusty as well, so hopefully you guys can explain it to me.

    Your thoughts on a Pontiac Fiero

    Well I inevitably crashed my motorcycle and broke my collar bone. My baby unfortunately ended up totaled so now I am looking for a new vehicle. Ever since discovering them, I have had a special spot for Fiero's. Something about the body and RMR drive. Since I was born in 90, they were a...

    Any Modern Games Like Quake?

    While I love the gameplay of quake, the player base is starting to dwindle. Are there any modern games that capture the pace of Q2W/CMPA? On iD Tech is a plus as well.

    I'm 20 years old and have been roller skating since I was 12. Falling happens quite often since I am always pushing the limits. Over time it seemed my wrists were getting progressively worse. After the problem got really bad, I subconsciously stopped falling on my wrists and just let my body...

    Setting Flash Network Speed Manually

    Hey, when I'm watching stuff on southparkstudios, the auto connection thing decides its going to set the quality to 800KBps even though my connection can only handle slightly under 700. Obviously this causes the need to buffer quite frequently since it only buffers to the commercials and its...

    How large are processor registers?

    So basically im understanding that registers are kinda the equivalent to a L0$ (not completely, but basically), So my question is how large exactly is the register in modern processors? Also, does absolutely every calculation from the core need to hit the register first?
