    AR-15's and California

    It's actually 10 rounds. The only way you can have a magazine larger than 10 rounds is if you already had it before the ban. Also, the magazine CAN be removable if you don't have a pistol grip, flashhider, collapsible stock, or forward pistol grip, such as an M1A, Mini 14, SU-16, etc.

    Logitech MX518 Optical Gaming Mouse

    Yeah, I can tell the difference. When I have it at 1600dpi, it seems really fast, 800dpi is just normal, and 400dpi is really slow (making me move my mouse a lot, which is why I don't usually use it). I usually do have time to do it in a game like BF2, where there are lulls in combat or when...

    Logitech MX518 Optical Gaming Mouse

    I find the ability to adjust the sensitivity on the fly useful, especially for BF2. I usually have it at 800dpi (the middle setting) since it's not too fast nor not to slow, but if I in a tank or a vehicle, I change it to 1600dpi so I can move the turret and\or view faster. I rarely use the...

    How do I freeze a hard drive

    Well, it's not guaranteed but some people stated it works. Just place the HD into a zip lock bag, and put it into the freezer for about an hour. Take it out, and install it while it's still cold and you may be able to get some data off it.

    Does this look kind of fishy?

    Yes, Corsair makes good ram. I would say Corsair leans more towards the enthusiast market (except it's ValueRAM), so it's generally more expensive but has better timings. Both Corsair and Crucial make great RAM no matter which type you get (ValueRAM to high performance XMS). And no, the...

    LED Flashlight, Tactical Flashlight @ Big5 Sports

    Thanks for the heads up. I have a Surefire G2, but I'd also like a LED flashlight since it doesn't use up the batteries as fast. I picked up the Xenon one. It's pretty good. It's not as bright as my Surefire G2, but it's still pretty bright (Xenon is rated at 60 Lumens for 110min, G2 is...

    Battlefield 2 Questions

    You press Caps lock, and click the "Squads" tab. Then on top, it says "Commander." Click the Apply button next to it. After a few min, it'll let you know if you can be commander (you press PGUP to accept or PGDN to deny) or if someone with a higher rank took the spot.

    Removing scratches from CD or DVD

    There's a lot of methods to remove scratches from CD's. Some people polish the cd with fine sandpaper (1500-2000 grit), sort of like lapping a heatsink. Some people use chemical Plastic polishes like Novus Plastic Restore. If you're asking for a product to clean CD's, I've heard the...

    do you guys use the cd audio analog/digital cable?

    I don't use it. I don't think it's supposed to make any difference in cd ripping. I thought it was just so you could plug headphones into your drive to listen to the CD that is currently in it. However, even if you don't use the cable, you could enable "Digital CD Audio" in the device manager.

    Need to get some more ram: Dual-channel or single?

    If you use 3 sticks, they won't run in Dual Channel. However, I believe some Nforce chipset motherboards allow it, but I'm not sure how and which.

    I was using NLite to slipstream SP2 onto my XP Home installation, and I was also changing some install options, and after installing windows with the new disc I created, I realized I used NLite to remove the Defualt XP Luna Theme. Is there anyway for me to redownload it, or get it off my disc...

    Should I get a router for a one PC network?

    I would say just get the router. They aren't that expensive anymore, and I'd say the NAT firewall will work great to protect the computer. At least, that way you know even if your dad accidentally disables the software firewall, he'll be safer.

    BattleField 2 and 1gb ram on A64

    You should be able to run the game at 1280x960 (or 1024) with most settings on high. You might have to run textures and terrain on medium to avoid stuttering.

    Yeah, that should be fine. I have an MX700, and the transmitter is on my desk, while the mouse is on the pull out tray about 4 inches below and 10inches to the right, and it works fine. Even if I try using the mouse under the tray and on my knee, the mouse works fine. The transmitter uses...

    DEAD - Top Loading NES clone for $25.95 shipped

    I don't see anything wrong with his post either. How did you guys (Baked and Albis) think he's affiliated with eStarland.com? In his post, he even states "Mixed reseller ratings though, seem slow to ship." Shouldn't that let you know he's not with them? I can see how his thread title may...

    Crappy CS:SOurce and other games performance

    I have a 6800 Ultra, and I run CS:S at 1280x1024 with 4x AA and 8X AF. I keep Vysnc on. I get 85FPS, but sometimes it drops down to 42 FPS on maps like Aztec or Dust. I don't think it's anything wrong with my card, because my 3dmark03 (12,800) and 3dmark05 (5400) scores are good. My CPU is a...
