    Prank.exe -- Start-Up Script?

    A friend of mine gave me her computer to fix. I'm going to have it for a week or so (she's going home for the holidays), and I figured during this time I could do all necessary work... then maybe cause some trouble. What I'd love to be able to do is, every time windows starts up, an error...

    Rebooting, no video signal, switch DVI ports and it works?

    I tried to fit it all in the title. A couple weeks ago I went to a friends house with my computer, and I had a hard time getting my computer started. It seemed to be a power issue. When I got home the power issue was no longer there (leading me to believe that it was somehow his house and...

    A screen for advertising, displaying images and information, to students on campus

    I was instructed to come to some concluded idea as to what we could do given these parameters: 1. We want something that could be "reprogrammed" to display whatever we need at any given time. 2. About 36". 3. It probably won't be controlled by a computer, most likely a DVD player or...

    Hot Fuzz $8.99+shipping

    Don't worry, Hot Fuzz was a disappointment anyway. Shaun of the Dead = great Hot Fuzz = Watch the trailer, that's the only good part, really.

    MMOs, the people who play them, and you.

    Duly noted about Vanguard. I forgot all about Warhammer. I just signed up for the beta. I've heard a few good things about LOTR.

    MMOs, the people who play them, and you.

    Howdy. I was hoping those in-the-know about new MMOs could maybe give me an idea of which are worth looking into. Sharing first-hand experience is greatly appreciated. I was thinking about getting into a game, but I naturally don't want to make a "wrong" choice. LOTR, Vanguard... what...

    Most fun you've had playing a MMO game

    My early days in Everquest. I had seen nothing like it. The world was new, challenging, and the graphics were great ;] I must say, EQ did something with sprites I've never seen since. Some of those spell effects WERE cool.

    I loved Fahrenheit. Incredible story. A little cheesy at the end, but I had a great time playing it.

    Need opinions from the experts (College / Notebook)

    Is it that big of a deal? I don't know how much I'd be carrying it around, honestly. It's more of a convience factor moreso than something for me to take everywhere with me. I don't mean to nitpick, but you guys are being great helps and I want to take advantage of you ;D

    What about the MR X1800? How does that fit in there? I'm assuming naming conventions still mean little in terms of performance.

    Interesting. And with the price point in their favor... As I've said in the past, I'm loyal to no brands, only to the Price:Performance ratio. Thanks Brainonska. You're being a fantastic help.

    Need opinions from the experts (College / Notebook)

    Heh, I'm over CS ;D I play a whole spectrum of games, from the not-demanding-at-all to the new stuff. There's a whole line of mobile cards around the name of 7600 (on the nvidia side) and 7800 and stuff. They really jack the prices of notebooks up.

    Some reassuring words, Gibson. Thanks, it's necessary (I'm scared! ;D) Any specific ideas? Keep in mind I need a mobile card that's going to either compete or spank my 6800gt.

    I realized lately that I would really like to replace my desktop with a notebook of some sort. My desktop is aging pretty gracefully (custom built, myself), but I'm here at school now and I've been thinking about parting out my desktop and purchasing a notebook. I've been out of the tech...

    I didn't like it. For the record, I loved FEAR, Half Life 2... hated Doom III (at least after I got over the initial "omg scared" factor).

    Free! Cool Looking Nintendo Wii Gift Card at Target

    Who cares? Just put the minimum amount on it while you're shopping and use it to buy whatever you're shopping for. Or buy another gift card with it, if possible.

    6800GT -- Video Cuts Out =x

    nope, it's holding up just fine. The video card was running just fine (believe me, I can hear it, especially when the fans aren't slowed by software, ala when windows is booting). It seemed to have been a driver malfunction.

    6800GT -- Video Cuts Out =x

    I reinstalled 84.21 (my previous version) and it seems to be working okay. If I just start spamming keys, it's because my screen went black and I wanted to convey that it is currently not working ;p I'm going to test it a little (fire up Flatout 2 or something) and I'll report back. Thanks...

    Not only do you have no knowledge of the original Team Fortress, but you criticize TF2's graphics. You're an idiot. Six words: "Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time"

    Huge memory event

    In a word: Yes. I don't know how I lived without 2gb of RAM before. I upgraded strictly for Battlefield 2, and I was amazed when I could alt-tab out of any program and not have a moment's stutter. But then again, I'm an avid gamer and experienced photoshop user....

    *official* Oblivion Thread, opinions?

    Hah, same here. I think I may have killed one troll, then just scaled the rocks, arrow-poisoned Burden on one troll, ran past him, grabbed the brush, then rescaled the mountains... they take their time getting back to you, so you have time to get back to the guy and have him do his thing.
