    So what's the least bloated memory bench?

    Just did a fresh format and I need to run some memory benches (for mild overclocking). Since it's a fresh system I don't want to install anything bloated at this point. Trying to keep it clean. Tried Sisoft Sandra years ago, but I can't remember anything about it. Also heard Everest is supposed...

    Should I pick up Silent Hunter 5?

    Anyone here played it? I really enjoyed Silent Hunter 3 and 4, but I don't feel like getting 5 if it's the same game with more demanding graphics. I'm running a E6400 @ 2,8ghz and a 8800gt 512mb stock :thumbsup:

    Word wars!

    You've all played picture wars, but what about word wars?! Rules: -Single word. -Word has to clearly beat previous word. -No names or forum handles. Like so: Cat. Dog > Cat. Leash > Dog. Let's see if this thing is still on the front page when I wake up. Hitting the sack now. G'night. First...

    If you have >1000 posts you can't post in this thread.

    Seeing as how every post in OT is made by people with several thousand posts, I figured us sub-1000 posters needed a thread of our own. Let's see how fast this thread falls off the first page. And how many 1000+posters can't resist pushing the shiny red button.

    Difference between 'and' and 'but'

    You know what really gets to me? When people can't tell the difference between 'and' and 'but'! Example: RIGHT: "It is a nice day, but storm clouds are brewing." WRONG: "It's a nice day, and storm clouds are brewing." (This is correct only if you think storms are nice!) RIGHT: "The...

    Win95 or Linux for old Toshiba Satellite Pro 480 CDT?

    It's an oldie, 233mhz Intel processor. My dad ran format c: on it and asked me if I could fix it up for my mom to use. It had been running Win95 and worked fine, albeit slowly. I was wondering if I should try a low system requirements Linux distro or just get an old Windows 95 cd from somewhere...

    Laptop outside in the sun. Monitor is like a mirror.

    I'm sitting outside in the sun, browsing AT and various other sites. I have to strain my eyes to see anything though. The glare is crazy. It's a TN panel. Is there anything I can do to minimize the shininess? Brightness is already maxed.

    Visiting China. Two critical questions.

    Hello my darlings! So I'm going to Beijing for two weeks. I need to know two things: 1. Is the currency exchange at Beijing international airport a ripoff? Is it fast? I know there are several banks offering these services at the airport, apparently all with the same rates. I plan to change...

    What's the state of "VR goggles" these days?

    I did some googling, but could only find old ugly goggles with pitiful resolutions. Hasn't this technology matured at all since around 2000? I'd like to have a pair, preferably with built in 3d (which should be easy to do), with large FOV and high resolution. But I'm guessing no such product...

    How to direct a lucid dream without waking up?

    In the morning if/when I have a lucid dream I find that I can control the dream pretty well, but if I exert too much control I wake up. It's like the more aware of the dream I am, the harder it is to maintain my lucid dream state. Anyone here good at lucid dreaming? How can I control the dream...

    MSN Live Messenger 'lite'?

    Are there any good lightweight substitutes for MSN Live Messenger out there? I feel so dirty using Microsoft's product. I've heard of Pidgin, is that any good? More importantly, is it secure? I don't want my e-mail getting hijacked by the creators of Pidgin ^_^ The only functionality I need is...

    Context-free grammar

    Aye, it's homework time. But I simply don't get how to correctly display the context-free grammar for this context-free language: L = { x | x ∈ {0,1}* and | x | = 3 } Here's the regular expression: (0+1)^3 I know I could probably get away with: S -> 000 | 001 | 010 | 011 | 100 | 101 |...
