    Has Arnold Schwarzenegger ever died in a film?

    My friend and I were trying to think of a movie Arnold Schwarzenegger has died in, and we could not think of one other than Terminator (which doesn't count, because he's just an android). Can anyone think of one?

    Friend of a friend trying to screw me over

    So I recently worked for only one week at a local pizza place as a driver. I was only making $6/hr w/ my tips. The tips were decent, some people would tip nada, but others would tip up to $7. Anyway, I got the job at the place because my friend has been working there for over a month now...

    Dead Cat5 Cable

    I woke up this morning to discover that only my computer had no connection to the Internet, or the router. The other computer and the Xbox are fine. The computer in question is on another story than the router, so the ethernet cable runs through the basement and up through the walls. It was...

    Xbox 360 voids HDTV warranty?

    So my dad picked up a new HDTV today, a 32" Sharp LCD. The salesman told my dad that hooking up any of those "computer games", like my 360, would void the warranty. My dad believes him. Please tell me that this salesman is full of crap. How can hooking up anything to the component input void...

    Since when are Myspaces professional?

    Since when has Myspace become so important that almost every band, movie, group, etc. uses it for a main webpage instead of registering a domain? How unenthused do you have to be about your huge project to not get a domain for it? I can see getting a myspace for a Uwe Boll movie or...

    EVGA RMAs

    I've heard EVGA is supposed to be pretty great when it comes to support, options, and RMAs, but they've had my video card for 5 days now and the Track RMA information still says that it is still processing. Has anyone had experience with EVGA RMAs and how long they usually take? Or does...

    Diablo 2 over LAN

    I was just wondering if anyone has tried playing Diablo 2 over a LAN with just one CD passed around. Does the game check CD keys for local games, and will it stop us from playing? We'll be using the latest patch.

    New 6800GS, stock fan doesn't work.

    I just replaced my 9800pro with a evga 6800GS. When I booted it up, I noticed that the fan on it didn't start up. After installing the new drivers, I saw that the temp was over 100C, so I shut the PC off, opened the case, and put a big room fan on it to keep it cool. Is there anything...

    First time I've been pulled over.

    I was on my way to college, on the express way, when I saw a police officer up ahead, all the way on the right shoulder, with someone pulled over. There are two cop cars there. I'm in the right lane because my exit is the next. So I cruise by, obeying the speed limit, and all of a sudden...

    Time for a new HDD?

    I've never witnessed a HDD die before, so I wanted to make sure it is gone before I toss it out for a new one. My current, possibly dead HDD is a Samsung Spinpoint. Here's what happened after a few months of perfect use: Some .exe's stop working because of missing or corrupted files...

    Computer's video terrible suddenly

    (reposted from General Hardware, didn't get any replies) I built a computer for a friend a couple of months ago. It was running in tip-top shape until all of a sudden, his graphics are slow in Windows browsing, and games like HL2 and WoW wouldn't open. Here are the specs: Shuttle SN25P A64...
