    Homework question (C++)

    Hey guys. I am new to programming and am taking an introduction class in C++. We have a homework assignment which we are suppose to implement Conway's Game of Life. It's a simple assignment with simple rules but I can't seem to get it to run properly. Most of the framework of the code was...

    New computer issues (power supply?)

    Hey all, I decided to take the plunge and upgrade my rig. I was running a C2D E8400 and Geforce 9800GT. Went ahead and got an ASUS motherboard, an EVGA GTX 570HD, 8GB of RAM and an i-2500k. I went ahead and installed everything fine, reinstalled Windows, got my applications back up and...

    Hd 5870 $139.99

    It isn't overclocked but I could if I wanted. Man, so would I have to completely give my system an overhaul if I want to play BF3 on high to ultra? I figured my video card was the main hold back.

    Hd 5870 $139.99

    Do you think it would be worth it for me to upgrade now, then? I would probably have the money to spend (and I could sell the card) at that time. I guess what would make it worth it is, would I be able to run a game like BF3 much better? Here's my specs: Intel C2D E8400 4GB of RAM (DDR2)...

    [alive again, see post #71] Dell U2412M $299

    Mine got delayed as well. I wish I didn't pick 7 day shipping with it either, probably will be a long time before I see it. "12/13/2011(updated)" Still in production too so I doubt I'll see it then. Bummer, it was expected to come my final day of my finals :/

    Hd 5870 $139.99

    I have a 9600GT right now, struggling very much with BF3. So tempted to get this. How much further out in time are the newer generation of cards?

    If Ron Paul gets the GOP nomination, do you think neocons will run a 3rd party?

    Seeing how weak the rest of the Republican field is, I wouldn't be so confident in that thought.

    I'm curious, are IPS monitors more for general/development use and not for gaming? I do a bit of graphic editing, a little bit of coding, but I'd also like to game on games. Would this be okay?

    Computer won't boot

    I am helping a friend build his computer, he has plugged his 24 pin connector in his motherboard and when he does that, the power supply turns on and the CPU heatsink fan spins. When we plugged in the 2x4 power connector the power connector that powers the CPU and try to turn on the power...

    To sell now or to hold?

    This topic answered my question and provided good entertainment/education too :P Yea, I'm going to put it up for sale now. I have a netbook my mom won that I use for school so I have no real reason for it. It's a nifty device, I fiddled around with it a bit and it was fun, but not worth the...

    To sell now or to hold?

    I'm from a family where my dad is a stone mason and construction sucks currently and I am a college student strapped for cash. So yea, lol poor people I guess. =/ I'll put it up within the next few days I suppose.

    To sell now or to hold?

    My mom won an iPad from a contest - it's the 64GB model, 3G and wifi. I played around with it a while but I don't really care to have it and my mom doesn't care too heavily either. After I googled and saw the price of it (woooow), we decided selling it would be a good move, eBay would be good...

    Deadmau5, whats' the big deal?

    Dubstep can get annoying to me, but artists like Cookie Monsta I like a whole lot. But I'd rather listen to Mustard Pimp, Proxy, and others than either Deadmau5 or any dubstep :)

    Turn Table hooked to Receiver, volume is light

    Haha, don't get smart with me. :P Or do, I need the help. I didn't get it. I told my mom what was told to me via you guys and she said she was going to go out while I went to school (unrelated note, but I'm always done with high school :D) and she got some 17 buck GE pre-amp. It works fine I...

    Turn Table hooked to Receiver, volume is light

    Heh, my mom went out and got a cheap one and it works fine, they're not quality freaks and I don't really care myself since it's not my setup. They got some GE one for 18 bucks. But I like the info this topic resulted in, :P Not my dad's player, my dad could really care less. My mom. Thanks...

    My family got a new TV and receiver so I hooked that up for them. My mom has a turn table and wanted me to hook that so she could listen to her records on the speakers. I hook it up but when I play a record.. I didn't hear anything. I kept changing inputs, switching wires, etc, but nothing...

    EMP question (MW2 spoilers)

    What about how far it reaches inside the the U.S.? I see about the whole eastern seaboard get power knocked out. Would that happen? I figured it would only affect the bits outside the blast radius.

    Make a shortcut to run in compatiblilty mode?

    Correct. And with our school accounts, we can't right click. Dumb I know, but we can't. Hence why I was hoping to be able to create a shortcut within the folder with maybe some compatability parameters at the end. I know it wouldn't be like this but like "E:\ra1\ra95.exe" -win95 or something...

    Make a shortcut to run in compatiblilty mode?

    I'm unsure what the Manager does that would solve the problem. I'm not at home now so I can't run it and see but I still don't see what it could do. :P

    Make a shortcut to run in compatiblilty mode?

    Hey guys. I have a game on my USB drive, Red Alert 1. I use it to play at school since we're allowed to during certain times. I do have an account with more rights because I am the school's IT department but I'm not suppose to use it when I'm not working. I noticed that when I plug my USB...

    Internet dies due to P2P, my end, not routers

    Well I don't think they removed it from Windows 7 (unless they made that decision after the RC release, which is possible) since I had to enable it for my internet to work :P Thanks for the help and info guys.

    Internet dies due to P2P, my end, not routers

    I ran uTorrent over night and it's still fine. I've rebooted and been on the reboot for over two hours, still fine. I think the suggestion Emulex definitely fixed it. I'm just curious now though, why doesn't Microsoft just include that setting so people (like me) don't have to go and enable it...

    Internet dies due to P2P, my end, not routers

    I'm having a problem and it's becoming more and more coming for some reason. I run uTorrent and I always have it open so I can seed. I seed a lot of torrents so I am connected to a lot of peers. It sometimes depends, but normally about 20 minutes after starting up uTorrent, my internet...

    I have a 320GB Western Digital Elements external hard drive and it seems that when I near full capacity, it gets I/O writing errors. I notice this due to I put what I download via uTorrent and uTorrent reports the error then proceeds to quit writing to the hard drive. When I first bought the...
