    Virus won't let me log in

    Need help. Posting from my PS3. It was not a pron site fyi. It was an emo forum:(. So I got infected through google cache. Anti-vir caught something but before i could delete, the vir turned off AV and firewall. I opened task man. and saw at least 3 suspect processes that i then ended. Then i...

    PSA: Mad Men Season 3 Premiere

    I didn't know it was coming back so soon until I saw the date on the side of a bus this evening. Can't wait for the new season, but might have to watch reruns or start taping since it's on "late".

    Unfortunate Overcapacity Accident

    10 Dead in crash... Hope this doesn't go P&N... A quick google shows that the Excursion is a 9 passenger vehicle. How do you fit 22 people in there? Almost all of them were ejected. I'm going 'wtf'.

    Wear sunscreen or not?

    It's only May, the sun isn't that strong here, but I'm already heavilly tanned from working and walking outdoors. I'll probably get the cancers in the future, but I can't stand rubbing the stuff all over my skin, so avoid putting it on.

    Moral Dilemma

    So I just spent an ass load of money on U2 tickets in a panic. I was only going for 2 one-grade above General Admission tickets, but my first 5 searches yielded nothing. Obviously I panicked and started searching for anything, and ended up scoring not only 2 of the most expensive tickets, but...

    Car floor 'flooded'

    Ok, not quite flooded, but the entire carpet (front and bacK) of our 2 month old, 2009 Civic is completely wet. We don't have a garage, so it's parked outdoors year long. Since we bought it in the winter, we didn't really notice it until the trunk/fuel cap latch under the driver's seat...

    Are you google-able?

    I'm sure you've done it before while bored, or just for the hell of it. So, according to google, do you exist? If so, how much detail can be found? Apparently, I don't exist. I can find me as a writer, a volleyball player and a bunch of coaches. However, my name is not in any directory...

    Beater became deathtrap

    Yet another new car thread. So in the past week, our beater (early '90s Dodge Spirit) went from being an unreliable staller to a staller with virtually no brakes. Flooring the pedal will only bring it to a gental stop now, so after thousands in repairs, it's finally time for a new car. We...

    How you look when playing games...

    Found this interesting video: Immersion I've never been more glad to have my computer by a wall with me facing away from the door. If I had to compare, I'd be the dude with the weird grin.

    Xbox 360 Memory Upgrade Program

    360 Program Wow. I feel bad for the people who bought the HDD separately at full price for the past few years. I'm also surprised that a 20Gb HDD is so cheap. I know my 80Gb on my computer was $65 a few years back, but... nothing. A dollar a Gb is just less a rip.

    MSN and Offermanage

    Just want to check, but has anyone else using MSN gotten a "www.offermanage.com" or something link when receiving a message? Just today I managed to get two of these links from two different "contacts". The most peculiar one was from someone I haven't talked to in years. Is something up...

    Aliens: Colonial Marines

    Come on you ... Looks like it was true. There was a rumour a while back about a new AvP game, here it is. It's going to be on PC and console, not sure what to say about that. Can't really go wrong with an action game though. Update: Official Announcement

    PS3 Blu-Ray Drive Dead

    My one month minus 2 day old Playstation 3 is now "dead". Surprisingly, I am taking this quite well. About 2 hours ago, I powered on my PS3 as usual, loaded up to the XMB, and started downloading the Devil May Cry 4 demo. After setting it to download in the back, I went to the Game section to...

    Hating your Coworkers Don't know if I should be surprised or not. There sure was a lot of talking behind people's backs at my last job. This one seems "quieter", but I can list some people. Feel free to vent.

    Nokia Ringtone

    So last week I was at a meeting, and 3 cell phones went off: all of which were using the Nokia tone. There were about 8 people in there, and even though mines didn't ring, I'm using it. Personally, I like it cause it's kinda catchy/cool. Now I'm wondering how widespread this actually is...

    Bicycle riding basics

    So it's been over 10 years since I've been on a bike. Even when I was 10-ish, the most I ever did was ride around the backyard, and never went on to the street or to parks. Haven't cared much since then, but recently, I got interested in it again thanks to the motorcycle I can't afford;)(in...

    Avril & Stealing

    ...at least it's negative... Normally I don't care for such news, but I made an exception cause I loathe her... Hey, hey, you, you, I wanna be your boyfriend! Oh, and I do not dislike Chantal, so that's another reason.

    Left-channel Speaker Static

    Just got home and fired up my receiver like I've done for the last 8 months with the exact same system. I always let the receiver 'warm' up for a minute or so before I turn on the computer, but for some reason, this time when windows XP started loading, I started getting loud static coming from...

    New Aliens game by Gearbox

    Absolutely Badass! Suppose to be based on the Aliens movie (James Cameron). Loved what they did with it in AvP II, and hope by concentrating only on the Colonial Marines, it will be better. Never cared for the alien/predator storylines. Hope they don't screw it up;).

    Purchasing New or Used Cell Phone?

    I'm about to take the plunge that I pledged not to take just a year back: get a cell phone. Lately, it has become more and more of an issue with problems reaching me or my problems reaching others. After weeks of research, I've decided on a carrier and phone (Virgin Mobile Canda and Nokia...

    Job Reference Dilemma

    So I have an interview coming up this week for a part-time job, and they need the standard "2 references". Problem is, I only have two good ones: 1 from my last job and 1 from my current full-time job. Would it be wrong to ask my current supervisor (used him before) to be used as one of my...

    7600gt Dual/Single Link DVI

    Read something earlier about dual/single-link DVI connections, which got me to investigate my card's specifications and found something I'd love someone to clear up for me. I have a BFG 7600gt, and on the website and googling it says: Connector(s) 1 Dual-Link DVI-I, 1 Single-Link DVI-I +...

    Life on Mars - Series

    Answer number one: yes, David Bowie's song is involved. Just finished watching the entire series (minus episode 7 of season 2). Wondering if anyone has seen it here, and what they think. It should still be showing the second series/season on BBC Canada and US, but it finished up in the UK one...

    Looking for budget laser printer

    King of the Hill Season 11

    Just wondering if anyone's still watching this. Friends back in highschool never seemed to care for it, especially due to its setting and the 'type' of person who would watch it. I've personally loved it, and makes a better rerun show than the Simpsons. Oh and it's moved to 8:30 on Fox, and yes...

    5.25" Drive Mounting Screws

    Just been wondering about this for a while. I've always noticed that 5.25" drive mounts (not ones with rails) in the case provide holes for 8 screws, 4 on each side, as does the optical drive itself. However, every manual, installation guide I've seen recommends using only 4 screws, 2 on each...

    Nec 3550A DVD reading issues?

    I am considering ditching my current fully functioning Lite-On SHW160P6S PS01, and have heard great things about the Nec 3550 on these forums. The reason I want to get rid of my current drive is that it doesn't read half of my DVD movie collection, and it's the wrong colour (they either don't...

    X-fi subwoofer jack

    Just picked up a subwoofer to tack onto my 2 bookshelves and receiver. I'm still callibrating the thing and waiting for a y-connector for the sub end to 'fix' the fairly weak output. However, I do recall one of the jacks on the X-fi being used for center/subwoofer. Currently, I only have a...

    Cooler Master 120mm TLF-S12-EB Fan ~Review

    To go 2.1 or 5.1?

    An oppurtunity has just come up for me to burn through my second set of speakers in 6 months, and I feel like getting new ones (family member wants to upgrade $20 speakers to go with new X-fi, I have Logitech Z-2300s that I can 'pawn' off).

    Creative Fatality 1010 Mouse

    Interesting review especially about it's potential health effects: The Fatal1ty 1010 also makes use of "SpeedWire" zero-oxygen copper wire and a gold plated USB plug that Creative says ensures the absolutely, positively fastest connection between the 1010 and PC. I was skeptical until I was...
