    Gay People: If there were a pill that would make you un-gay, would you take it?

    And to answer the original poster - no, I don't think I would. To take a pill to change me would somehow mean that being gay is something that needs to be fixed or cured, and thats not the way I see it. In my eyes, its really no different from going back 200 years and asking black people if...

    How do Mac CPU's compare to Intel/AMD CPU's?

    How much are you willing to spend? I'm betting that a Mac Mini wouldn't end up being all that much more than the 450mhz Powermac, and would be loads faster.

    Picking up a MiniMac & 24" Dell LCD soon.....

    Yes, it can and does support that high of a resolution. But expose and other Quartz Extreme effects will be choppy because of it.

    Physics Processing Unit

    As long as it doesn't cost over $100 it should be ok to get off on a good start (as long as there are titles that support it, of course). It would be loads more popular if it was $50 or under though. I don't think too many people are willing to spend over $100 on "physics", something they...

    New system built acting wonky, could use some help

    Well, I reinstalled windows using my old DVD drive, and now everything works fine. I guess the DVDRW is defective. I checked the Liteon forums, and a few other people reported the spin up/down issue too, so I guess thats it.

    New system built acting wonky, could use some help

    I just put together a new system for my friend out of some old spare parts I had lying around. The only new thing we purchased was an el-cheapo case and a LiteON 16x DVD burner. The computer started up just fine. But one of the first things I noticed is that windows refused to install...

    your opinion: 20" Imac G5 or 23" apple cinema display + mac mini

    I'd wait a bit for the next revision of the iMac G5 - which should be pretty soon. The measily 32mb of video ram in the Mini isn't enough to drive the 23" display and still have smooth expose animations. Of course, if that doesn't matter to you... get the mini.

    Does Apple give student discounts in store?

    You are correct. However, if you order online, I don't think they even bother to verify that you are a student.

    Video card thermal paste enough to cool a CPU?

    I'm all out of arctic silver, and I need some goop. I found a small syringe of thermal paste that came with my Arctic Cooling VGA silencer for my Radeon 9800. Do you think its good enough to use on a CPU? I'd assume its the same stuff, but you never know. The ingredients read: 50%...

    Gaming on Mac

    Games will run on a Dual G5 and they might even run decently well, but for the amount of money that you pump into it, the performance you get is disappointing. A far cheaper PC can easily outperform a dual G5, no matter how expensive the video card. Mac's are awesome machines, just not for...

    If you have a PS/2 -> USB converter, then yes. Mac's don't have PS/2 ports.

    Any other *HOT* tea drinkers here?

    I recently fell in love with Pu-erh tea. In the chinese resteraunts its called 'Kuk bo' or something along those lines. Other than that I drink green or white tea in the morning.

    Is this motherboard still safe to use? *PICS INCLUDED*

    Don't they have to be soldered on though? It seems very difficult to do since there is no space between the motherboard and the bottom of the capacitor.

    Is this motherboard still safe to use? *PICS INCLUDED*

    So its quite possible that it still works? I guess i'll have to plug it in one day and see what happens. Btw, what exactly do these caps do? And what is their actual name (i'm sure its more than just 'caps')

    Is this motherboard still safe to use? *PICS INCLUDED*

    The closet. However, the rust is actually from when it was in my case, not from being stored in the closet. I suppose I can try to contact Epox if there is still a warranty on it. Otherwise i'll just try to find a used MB from the FS/T forum. Just curious, but can these caps blow like...

    how long does it take you to load UT2004 maps?

    If you turn off loading of all character models (its in the options menu somewhere), it should speed up loading times.

    Is this motherboard still safe to use? *PICS INCLUDED*

    Back in April I retired my old Athlon XP 1600+ and upgraded. It was working fine at that point, and I just shoved it into my closet with the rest of my spare parts. Its been sitting in there ever since. Now I'd like to actually go and build a PC for a friend who's still on a 486 or...

    Im looking for a notebook....

    An iBook (or even a Refurb revision C 12" Powerbook) would certainly fit those requirements. The iBook has better battery life though, while the Powerbook is a tad lighter and has better specs.

    Any lifetime PC people switch to a mac?

    Bought an old G3 iMac back in January of last year off eBay to play around with the OS, since I love tinkering with alternative computer systems (I actually ran AmigaOS on my PC for about a month, and then BeOS for another month after that) I ended up loving the little ah heck, but it for actual...

    How would I go about finding a programmer?

    I realize this. I'm not looking for someone who might have an hour here or there to spend. This is a huge undertaking, and anyone that would want to join the project would have to be as passionate about recreating EQ as I am. As for their opinions, I welcome them. Technically there is little...

    How would I go about finding a programmer?

    I'm not giving any software away. If anyone wants to play, they need to own a copy of Everquest. All I would be providing is the server that they connect to. There are several games that have emulated servers (most popular being free Ultima Online shards), and they have no problem at all. I...

    How would I go about finding a programmer?

    My original major in college was computer programming. Unfortunately, I was so bad at it that I had to drop out and switch majors. In other words, me + programming is not going to happen. Besides, game design is my strong point, and i'd rather not be a 'jack of all trades' and attempt to do...

    How would I go about finding a programmer?

    Nope, they certainly can't. However, most of the work is already done. Using the existing client, and the latest release of an EQ server emulator, 95% of the work is already done. The problem is the emulator is currently very buggy and lacks some important features. This is what I need help...

    How would I go about finding a programmer?

    Servers like this exist already, and have not been shut down. But only half the features work, none of the quests work, the loot is all wrong, the mobs are placed incorrectly - in other words, its a mess. I will try my best to get this up to snuff to be near perfect. However, a programmer is...

    How would I go about finding a programmer?

    About a month ago I began work on a huge project that i'd like to complete. There is a ton of work involved and i'm certainly up to the challenge. My specialties are world building and working on the MySQL database which controls the spawning of monsters and their stats, loot, etc. In case...

    Sims runs and loads slowly on Pentium 4 3 GHz with DDR - WTF?

    Are you using the default Windows installation that DELL provided, or did you format and install a clean copy of windows? I've noticed at work where we just got a new Dell, there is a TON of crap thats installed in the system that brings it to its knees. Its a 2.4ghz P4, but it feels like a...

    Is there any way to stop Magnetic Interference coming from a case fan?

    I had already slowed the stock fan down, and I still found it too noisy. That is why I replaced it with something much quieter.
