well, the developers for the Stalker games, based on the Chernobyl disaster, are from Ukraine themselves. but... it was about 25 yrs after when they came out with the game. perhaps it is too soon. however, like the Stalker series, i think a story based on real life events, with a few...

man... he's got a laptop. good luck with that 5.1 setup. unless you have hdmi or optical output, resign yourself to 2.1. i would get a nice set of headphones instead.

with that budget, i would go with a nice set of shelf speakers and a receiver. newegg has quite a selection of home theaters in a box. i'm not saying 'get this one', but check out what you can get for $400. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16882115318 i'm currently using a...

not to make light of the disaster, but i can't wait to see what kind of video game they come up with having to do with the nuclear meltdown. i like the whole post-apocalyptic / nuclear disaster genre, having played stalker, fallout 3 & metro 2033. i really think the japanese can come up with...

why won't your motherboard see drives over 500GB? i put a couple pci sata controllers on a pentium III motherboard and was able to add on three 1TB drives no problem. there is something else going on there. the first was a Rosewill 150 controller, then i 'upgraded' to a Promise 300 (sata II)...

woah! you're really running low on disk space there 0.0 so you have two backup sets? how many copies of each file do you have and how long do you keep them for? do your media files change periodically? i wouldn't think so besides you adding new files. please explain your backup process. having...

short version: lost power due to t-storm; ups kept server up for 5 minutes, as is configured. server crashed instead of shutting down gracefully. ups is a cyberpower 850 avr (510W) file server specs in sig. load on ups is 20%, 45 min est runtime on battery. my guess is it's not configured...

i think the wrt54g is outdated. the only thing keeping it alive is the 3rd party firmwares available for it. i recently upgraded from a wrt54gl to a wndr3700. it's got 4 gigabit ports, 1 usb port, & simultaneous dual band operation. i'm very happy with it. also, your ass kicking online will...

case in point, the stalker series. try traveling at night, it's freaky as shit. i think that was intentional though. like have you ever been out late at night, and i don't mean like a club or downtown, but just out in the bushes? it is dark. sometimes i go running or biking at the local park...

first thing i do when trouble shooting is stopping the computer from restarting automatically. because you did not specify what os you're using i'm going to assume you have some version of windows 7 because it's the most popular at the moment for new builds. right click on my computer and go...

another reason pc gaming rox! :D personally, i'm a purist. i really enjoyed playing call of pripyat as it is.

anybody here use magic jack? i'm thinking of getting rid of my land line and getting one of these. it's hard to find good reviews with technical details. i read that the software takes over your computer and you pretty much have to leave it on to make and receive calls. is this still...

not when you're creating a new account. it asks me for a phone number when i log into my older accounts; i can skip that. nowadays they send you a verification code. if i'm wrong show me, because i'm not seeing where i can skip this.

k, here's the deal-io. my university gives students @my-domain accounts through google mail, aka gmail. however, i can't access it through outlook because it does not have 2-step verification, aka application specific passwords, to use with third party apps. so, my solution is to create a new...

you can change a few parts over time like upgrade memory or a new hard drive, but don't do it too often or upgrade too many parts that it will be a totally different machine otherwise windows will refuse to activate and you will have to call uncle Bill and explain the situation and they will...

the problem with assembly is that it is specific for the architecture you are working with. do you really want to learn the assembly language for every mc & cpu out there? i learned some 80x86 assembly a few years back and have never used it since. it is fairly popular though, so i would...

good software to organize music and videos? i have about 4 users on my file server, each with their own music and video collections. i want to put it all in one volume to share. i'm sure there are various formats and maybe duplicate songs. i'm also sure the file names do not match their...

i'm also in the market for a wireless router and most i've seen under $150 only have 4 lan ports. BlownFiveLiter has some ok suggestions but if you really have 15 - 20 devices, i would suggest a simultaneous dual band router like the d-link dir-825 ($100 @ bestbuy) or a linksys E3000. while the...

Watson could potentially replace doctors. it could examine blood and symptoms and come up with a more accurate diagnosis.

dragon age origins. getting the juggernaut armor was hella difficult, but it looks so awesome.
