    Looking for a Windows 8.1 Back-Up disk

    I saw that Newegg was selling these a while back and missed out on getting one. Now they have it as discontinued. If anyone knows where and how I can get my hands on one I would be very appreciative.

    How is this even legal?(Comcast related)

    My apartment complex apparently had a contract with Comcast that was keeping other providers from offering service so that's been my ISP for the last 4 years. They also had this "Comcast saver package" that took $40 off of my Comcast bill and added it to my rent. I had no idea what that was for...

    I just drank a Red Bull at 7pm. I have a problem

    As the title states I'm somewhat addicted to Red Bulls. Four out seven days of the week I'll chug one after breakfast on my way to work. If I don't do this my day is pretty miserable. I know this is partially due to a dependency. I want to kick the habit but find some kind of other way to...

    For the past couple of weeks I've been getting a "sweet" smell in the car but only when the AC is on. Any idea what this could be and if it's a quick diy fix before I take it to get looked at?

    Just witnessed someone put out a hit

    Well, not necessarily a hit but rather an "ass whoopin'". I was just at the gas station standing in line for the register when some belligerent woman just starts screaming in to her cellphone that she was, "gonna pay someone $500 to come down there and whoop your fucking ass!". Me and the...

    Will my current CPU bottleneck a Xfire setup?

    Sup! I'm currently running on an Intel i7 950 and a single ATI 6950 2GB and was wondering if adding a second 6950 would bottleneck my CPU. I don't have the CPU overclocked but the 6950 is OC'd at 840/1325. I recently bought a new 23" monitor upgrading from a 19". I noticed a HUGE FPS hit in...

    I've had this 7800gt for who knows how long and I think it's finally time to step it up. I'll still be using my same motherboard and processor I suppose, so rule out any pci express 2.0 cards. I've been looking around but I've been out of the purchasing game for so long that I really have no...
