    Name Change

    I am stuck with the moniker of imported_Equinox. I was actually Equin0x. I had a mixup on the names. May I please change my moniker completely to avoid confusion? I don't mind becoming Sagittarius or similar. Please excuse me for being upset with my changed title, it wasn't the person...

    Why the Nobel Peace Prize Should Go to Nuclear Weapons

    Harvey strikes hard, and he strikes after considering things. Prof falls, because he believes in dropping the biggest "payload" without checking if it is the truth. The truth is the truth, Prof, not whatever you say it is. Reality has a hard bias.

    Why the Nobel Peace Prize Should Go to Nuclear Weapons

    I guess you agree with Iran with no intention of stopping them all *and* encouraging them. Stopping is one thing, but using your own mouth to encourage and agree with them? Rally around dollars all that you want, but when you, in your heart, start agreeing with the Taliban, the rest of the...

    Hacking Batman:AA to get ATI video cards AA functionality

    You can actually load the latest drivers, and still have physx work by replacing the .dll. TK did a service to all of us by offering that information. I can't provide a link or anything further, because it seems the original thread got locked. Apologies.

    Bin Laden releases video on 9/11 anniversary

    The cartoon in the opinion section of the Sun-Herald, my newspaper, has a picture of them taping bin Laden, screaming cut, and then putting a bit more Grecean formula on his beard. I'm trying to find a link to it somewhere.

    Huey Long, a man that certainly knew what he was talking about when discussing government corruption said it very well: When fascism comes to this country, it will be wrapped in a flag and carrying a cross. Consider the source, however there is a great deal of wisdom in that statement.

    The great Iraq debate has begun...

    The one where the irony escapes you? Uh huh. I'll let you in on a little secret, though, TLC. Nobody is buying it, even though many such as yourself are trying to sell it. Once again I have to wonder how much money is being spent to fund the campaign, though.

    Liberal Blogers manipulating Google results for political reasons

    In the Sun-Herald, the newspaper in my area, it said that Larry Flynt is going to give her an interview. I personally could care less who visited a whorehouse. It might actually do some of them some good. I do care though, if they are using my tax dollars to pay for that visit.

    Oil & Gas thread:12-17-08 OPEC & non-members agree to largest reduction in history 7 percent

    Though I doubt anyone is truly curious, I can tell you that there are some American citizens that are familiar with what happens when there is no gasoline.

    There are too many questions that haven't been answered, and there needs to be an investigation. If there is nothing to hide, there will be no problems. At least, that is the rationale that they used on the American people when passing the Patriot Act. If there was absolutely no negligence or...

    ANOTHER Republican politician caught in gay sex public restroom scandal

    Bush on Iraq: 'We're kicking ass'................................

    4:3 or 5:4?

    They develop for the supported resolutions. I think most are moving towards a widescreen display since the new consoles use HD resolutions and many PCs are now equipped with widescreens. They have to support 4:3, though, because so many 4:3 devices are still around (TVs and monitors). They...

    GPU Pricing: wtf?

    I spent more than I wanted to on my GTS 640, but I must admit I have enjoyed having it. It will need to last for a while, though. It replaced a 6800GT (that only got replaced because it stopped displaying the blue part of the spectrum - that was a real treat!). If Creative ever gets a real 1x...

    GeForce 8 Series and Flat Panel Scaling!

    OH. You have a TV/LCD. You need the overscan compensation fix. It is here: http://nvidia.custhelp.com/cgi...d_adp.php?p_faqid=2064 I had forgotten about that. It doesn't mention scaling, but it fixes that too, since this is all a part of the upscaling functionality.

    Black bars in widescreen

    Okay - you unchecked Treat as HDTV, and it was still fine, I am assuming. Then you checked use NVidia Fixed Aspect ratio scaling and it got blurry? In order for it to have the proper aspect it would have to be @ 1200x900 (4:3), i.e. 120 pixels worth of bars on either side. What resolution do...

    GeForce 8 Series and Flat Panel Scaling!

    What drivers are you using? Also, what resolution are you native at and then switching to? It has worked fine for me with all three of my boxes in XP since 160.03, and I play a lot of 4:3 games (heck I'm sitting here with an 8800 GTS 640MB playing Diablo 2 this very night LOL). Are you...

    Which is better: 6800 Ultra or the 8600GTS?

    The 8600GTS is a good card. Make sure you get the latest drivers, though. They have gotten a fairly decent performance bump since some of the earlier reviews. Some people are under the impression that it isn't that great, but keep in mind that not much is in comparison to a $550 8800GTX. I'd...

    GPU Pricing: wtf?

    ATI didn't go belly up, they got bought for a very, very attractive (maybe too attractive) price. AMD isn't going to die just yet, but they are in need of a cash infusion to be sure. They are also in need of some products that are competitive. The ATI side of the house had to have missed out...

    GeForce 8 Series and Flat Panel Scaling!

    Specifically, every driver I have every used with my laptops 7900GTX 512 go has worked this way. For the 8800GTS it only worked with the 97.92s (in XP), and then was broken until the 160.03s. Ever since the 160.03s I have had no problems. Some people were able to get it to work with a few...

    Black bars in widescreen

    NVidia cards ALL DO THIS. ATI cards do this only with the right drivers and the right monitor. Refer to the links nullpointerus indicated. Why ATI can't simply do this for every monitor is a mystery to me. They claim it is the monitors fault, but hook up an NVidia card to the monitor, and it...

    I have 1920x1200 on my laptop, 1680x1050 22" connected to my desktop, and still play several 4:3 games. For any game that supports widescreen, though, I can't play it in anything else. For 4:3 fun, (Sacred/UW, Diablo2, etc) I have an nVidia card and of course it does fixed aspect ratio scaling...
