Helloooooo...

I've been working a simple calculator for a kind of RPG I'n developing, and it requires use of a grid.

I have a set number of checkboxes in a grid formation, where the user checks...

As a supporter of iRiver--or iriver, I think--I think the iPod is a well-designed little device, but in terms of all this automatic updating iTunes stuffs I wouldn't want to use it. Like Matt, I...

Never got around to that one, my friends and I dragged ourselves over to the local theater to see 300... and as far as epic war movies go, that one wins.

Needs more blood.

:mrgreen: Well done, interesting to see how the products match up... I didn't realize NOD32 was that potent. A concrete reason not to trust in OneCare.

From what I can figure here, there's a concrete place in the boot where the machine dies. The XP loading screen is the time frame where devices are initiated... my guess lies with the hard drive,...

Try attaching the Enermax PSU to the the older model you have, that'll be a good test to determine if the PSU died, which, I've found, is typically the first to go. :\

Note the potential...

Unfortunately, European and Asian wall outlets utilize 220 volt output, opposed to the American 110.

If you're--if you plan on using this computer again--buying a power supply, I can't tell you...

Aye, more fun for everyone with all these new gifts... in my case, an AGP nVidia 7800GS, for example. Additionally, I also wish the community a merry Christmas. :D

This happened to be before, back when my heatsink was loose--where the computer would reboot whenever the heatsink came off the processor by the smallest amount.

If your heatsink is well-mounted...

Unless you want to play Doom III with these unnaturally large textures they added for players with 512Mb graphics, then no, there is no known benefit of having more than 256Mb (happens to be the...

Aaaaaaaaaaaaay, whuddup. :P

I'm additionally annoyed as to how people try to refuse this near fact (haven't really researched too much on it, but I try to observe patterns) of life. One must consider the meaning for different...

My friend and I both did a nice job toasting our first builds due to a rather unsafe power situation a year or two back.

Two of the power couplings from his PSU were burnt beyond what I thought...

Best option, methinks, is a little bit of searching on NewEgg.com (if you're a US citizen, as NewEgg only ships there accordingly), for practically any Socket A model heatsink, since Socket A is a...

Yep, I have a similar problem, and it's a terrible experience playing a game, when the video card tries to turn its speed up. The fan belts the metal fan casing around it constantly, reminding me...

Welcome to the community, I've personally learned a lot about hardware trying to fix other folks' problems, hope your experience is as beneficial. :)

A group of wombats struck me down with a bat while I wasn't looking, jacked my cash, and took the time after to laugh at my misfortune.

Since African Grey Parrots are much more benign and...

No, no, I like it. Not being critical. :mrgreen:

Wasn't too crazy on the poker, either.

Needed more explosions and short men that chuck dangerous hats.

:D

I don't believe in AA. :D

Use this thing called Maxthon, the former MyIE2. As one would guess, it's an IE shell: I like the mix of compatibility and nice skinning/security/utility features included with the program, been...

Yea, seems fairly accurate.

The most critical parts of the game will be the physic realism to everything, make the world under you a manipulable object, and stuffs. Hard programming. Demanding...

Funny you mention it, I was planning this thing in a postapocaylptic future where the only hopes of survival involve utilitarian ideals. Survival is possible through rebuilding civilization and such,...

Depends.

Usually I put anything that won't distract me too much, ideally a simpler beat. Lots of dance, I guess. Sometimes Nitzer Ebb works, sometimes Rob Zombie. Nitzer Ebb kinda lightens the...

Yea I open the corners real slow-liiiike, but that wrapping paper isn't going anywhere in the end, I just try to make the opening all dramatic and such.

There is a possibility the ugly end of electronics is here, whereby I mean, your motherboard isn't broken, but shorted.

"Broken" is when one lovely afternoon an unbalanced delivery of power makes...

Despite the fact I was born at the start of the 90's, my dad and uncle introduced me to the NES and Sega Master System during me youth.

Zaxxon 3D.

Now that was a game. I blowed biscuits at that...

I find talking trees sacrilegious to my utilitarian nihilism. :D

Great game, City of Heroes.

I strongly advise to players who want to play an MMORPG that does NOT include faerie magicks and orcs and talking trees and etc.

City of Heroes is simple, well...

TEA.

Manson or Osbourne?

City of Heroes :D

Ah, yea, I did fail to mention the complexity of Blender. :)

I'm additionally curious about this data recovery business, I remember trying things like CompuApps' SwissKnife, and I liked it, but I wondered if there were better alternatives.

If any dood has...

One guy gets to be mod... then we'll all feel like being mods...

IT WILL BE ANARCHY!

Unless you already considered, I'd advise playing around with Blender (http://www.blender.org), but if you're looking for an application that would make an application, then it's GameMaker.

In...

Sounds malicious, granted what happened: You transferred documents, and now the machine doesn't know it has a keyboard.

I suspected a virus, or other trafficable malware, since the said transfer...

For all good testing purposes, I strongly advise an out-case transplant. To the not so knowings, this is when you take everything required for a booting computer [motherboard, processor, PSU, RAM...
