    Formatting new drive

    so is this one of those Vista things where it is still kind of messing up? I've been with OSX for almost a year so switching to Vista and dealing with this stuff is annoying. I still have the macbook pro though.

    CS Source

    I've been away from CS for awhile. Last time I really played was when 1.6 was the biggest thing out. Went and bought Source tonight and I can only see like 150 or servers to choose from. Is that the normal amount or is there something I need to do to see more then that? Thanks

    Formatting new drive

    Well I ended up canceling the format because it would never tell me what the progress was or anything like that. And I think when my computer went into sleep it stopped it. So I went into My Computer and did a "quick format" from there. Formatted fine; everything seems to be working. It...

    Formatting new drive

    Just built my new rig and installed windows on my raptor hard drive. I then went to setup the new hard drive in disk management. Well, I was a dumbass and forgot to click "quick format" so I cancel the format and delete the partition to redo the stuff again. Well now when I have gone through...

    I have a lot of videos on my computer which I would like to play on my computer. I have a modded Xbox which I know can do it fine, but I'm running out of memory on the hard drive to save enough.

    P2P tracking

    The College that I attend has just said that downloading music off of p2p networks is against school policy and can get you kicked out if you get caught. I'm using frostwire on my mac, if I disable sharing can I still get caught doing this? I really do not know much about high tech...

    Samsung LCD's

    I have a MBP and want to add a widescreen lcd to clear off some desk space. College student so space is limited on the desk. I was just wondering what people thought of the Samsung SyncMaster 216BW 21.6" Widescreen. I know that it is 5ms, but is that ok? I would buy the 226bw, but I don't...

    Macbook Pro or Alienware?

    I start the first of August. I'm going to a military school so I don't really think I'm gonna be taking it around that much. And we aren't allowed to have tv's in our rooms until our senior year, so it would be nice to have the extra screen space for movies. You might be right though about...

    Macbook Pro or Alienware?

    Well the thing is I don't know how much if any I'm going to be taking this thing to class. If I did go the alienware route, I started pricing some other one's too. I priced the m5790 and it came out to be roughly $2200 with everything that I put in it. Do you think taht would be decent for...

    Macbook Pro or Alienware?

    I really don't have a budget to say, I would say under $3000. I'm going to be about 600 miles away from home and I can't have a TV, so this thing will be doing pretty much everything. Movies, music, school work, some gaming when I have the time, and just other little things.

    Macbook Pro or Alienware?

    I'm in the market for a new laptop for college in the fall. I started looking around the other week and I'v pretty much decided on either the Alienware M9750 when it comes out, or one of the new Apple Macbook Pro's. I really like the idea to be able to run both os x and windows on the same...

    Samsung 997 DF 19" Monitor

    I'v had the 997df since around june of 2004. Been a pretty good monitor. I like that it has the buttons on the side, so that takes down on some of the weight of the monitor and it makes it looks alittle smaller. It's done pretty good, I have heard however that it is not a true flat monitor...
