    7 People 1 Wireless Router...

    With a decent router, your router should not be the cause or problem of any latency on the network with only 7 connections. The problem is going to come with the torrenters. If you all are torrenting you are all going to see slow connections. As has been said, 7 people sharing something like a...

    XBox Live Family Plan Discontinued Without Notice

    Sounds like the xbox fanboys just need to be adding their 0.02 everywhere. Financial motives are very popular with everything, that includes gaming. If I'm not mistaken, the xbox controller was new when it came out and people learned to play on it; they can do the same for the PS.

    Which MP3 Player do you recommend me to use?

    Advice on new/old gaming build for a kid?

    If Minecraft is all that he currently plays (aside from browser-based games) then why not give him a linux dsitro to play with? According to the download page, minecraft is available for linux, never used it so I cannot vouch for its usability though. That way you can spend more on hardware.

    Best backup software for home?

    Syncback offers scheduled syncing. Once you set it it can run automatically. Unsure if it does partition imaging if that's what you are looking for, this would be more of a folder solution.

    Gamespot says XBox Live is garbage compared to PS+ and should be dumped next gen

    This is the main reason I never purchased an xbox. I'm firmly against paying for something I've already paid for (ie MMOs, access to a network to play my already purchased games, etc). Although until I read this thread, I never know you needed XBL to use your netflix subscription on the Xbox...

    What do u think of this program - Simple Port Forwarding

    True true, just seems a waste to me. I figured if he's going to waste it, may as well waste it in a productive manor. I apologize for the money comment.

    What do u think of this program - Simple Port Forwarding

    1) utorrent (to the best of my knowledge) will use a random port every time you install it. Your best bet is to check your settings (in utorrent), it is right there. To this, you may run into open random ports in your router (highly insecure) 2) There is no magic. It logs in and enters a string...

    Alternative to iTunes

    I've never used itunes, so I cannot directly confirm anything. That being said, I suggest Banshee. I use it on all my linux machines (i just checked, there is a windows installer). I have friends who say it is as good as itunes as an alternative, but that's all heresay.

    I need help please, very good PC for gaming!

    If you are waiting the 6-18 months for the "better" stuff to come out, you'll find that at that time the answer will be to wait another 6-18 months for the upgrades. It's a cyclical life.

    COD: How do you get to be any good?

    This might sound strange at first, but try using a burst (or single shot) AR on hardcore. This will force you to land your first shot. Landing your first shot is critical to winning gun fights. Once you have developed your accuracy, you should be golden. The reason i say play HC is so that you...

    Mass .m3u creator

    That is what I'd call a time-saver for sure. I did a bit of java almost 10 years ago, but never could have come up with that. Although I do understand it after looking at it. This worked wonderfully, something so simple, it's downright elegant.

    Mass .m3u creator

    Hello all, I'm looking to batch create ~500 m3u's. Currently in my music folder, each album is in it's own folder. Within that folder I'd like to place an m3u for that album. It is very tedious to create them manually, and I can use a few apps that i have to do them one at a time, but I'd like...

    Any CoD guys here thinking of skipping this year and going with Halo 4 instead?

    BLOPS II looks to finally be fixing some things in the COD franchise (for instance, ghost only works if you are moving). I'm mildly excited to create these 10-point classes, I think I may forgo an attachment on my secondary for additional perks. But yes, borderlands 2 is still a better choice...

    Anyone use PS3 to stream movies?

    Can't say I had an issue, but the largest file I streamed was high 4.x or low 5.x gigs. Are you using playstation media server? that's what I used and did not have any issues. Note: I say "had" because this summer I made the switch to htpc+nas, so I no longer use the PS3

    I've heard good things about that Seasonic PSU, but my concern is that the video card requires a min PSU of 500W. Is it fine to use only a 520W PSU? I'm not opposed to this Gigabyte card if there are thoughts that it may fair better. Unfortunately I'm not well versed in video cards. I used to...
