    Attention Former United States public school students

    The United States did not win the war of 1812. Americans always think that the United States won the war. For the world cup game England vs USA earlier, I saw an interview with a fan who said "We did it in '76 and 1812, and we will do it again!" Newsflash, bitch, we didn't do it in 1812...

    Reasonably cheap TV for a bedroom

    My parents want to get a new TV for their bedroom, the old ass 27" box is finally dying, and of course they ask me for advice on what TV they should get. The viewing distance for the set would be between five and seven feet, but I am not sure they would be using an HD source, though they...

    Jeopardy Daily Double

    Why does the audience clap when one of the contestants select the daily double? They haven't answered the question yet, and it doesn't take exceptional skill to select it. Why don't they clap after every selection?

    Media Center TV optical audio problem (Win 7)

    Hello, Whenever I try to watch tv through the included windows media center, my audio is a horrible static-y mess, and there is nothing at all understandable when using a Toslink connection. When using an analog 3.5mm connection, all is fine. However, I do want to use toslink. I am using...

    University internet connection

    Man, I really hate Kent State. I have been bitching to them for over a year about how horrible their network is. They give you .7 megabits down and .35 up. In this day and age where countries are declaring broadband a right, this shoddy a connection for a major research institution is...

    Pardon My Noobiness

    Heres the story: My main rig's PSU died this weekend, and I have a netbook. I always use eeebuntu on the netbook, but have an xp installation there for backup. When my main rig died I needed the xp side of the netbook but I have the dreaded "ntldr is missing, ctrl+alt+delete to restart"...

    RTS with active communities?

    I'd been away from the RTS genre for a while when recently I decided I wanted to hop back into Empire Earth and see if I could get back into deathmatching. I was horrified to find the servers had been shut down years ago. The same for EE2. Looking around today, what "traditional" RTS games...

    I've got the itch...

    I think that guy that bit me the other day might have just upgraded his computer, because I am feeling the itch to upgrade. Recently, my computer has been feeling kind of sluggish and starts up kind of slow. Even after a fresh install a couple of weeks ago. I use my PC for everything. Movies...

    Limited or no connectivity

    Just in the past hour I have booted up my main rig and found no ethernet connection will work. I am posting from an ancient dell that I had around. I cannot access the internet or even my router from the machine in question, every other computer on the network is fine. The router is an Asus...

    Walk me through this please...

    I need some help burning recorded TV onto a DVD, and have it playable on set top players. I am planning on recording Brown's games and shipping them over to a guy I know who just started a 16 month tour in Iraq. I use an EVGA indtube to watch tv OTA, and only have the included cyberlink...

    Worst roommate you ever had?

    My second year of college I was in the dorms still, because I was too lazy to find an apartment. The first semester was really great. I had a roommate who was a foreign exchange student, we got along well and both learned a lot. He moved out at the semester, leaving an opening in the room. I...

    Audio for PC

    I have been using some really old PC speakers since they came with a dell I bought back in 2000. I have never used anything other than just plain old 2.0 PC speakers, but recently they are starting to really crap out. I have been thinking of getting a stereo receiver and a couple of bookshelf...

    Is Vista Worth it?

    I am currently running windows xp pro, and have been since 2002. I use my computer for multimedia purposes and playing games. And a lot of writing. I have been getting a little frustrated lately not being able to use AA in deferred shading games, and have just been a little curious as to what...
