Call me crazy, but I don't trust the US government to create a secure and bug free website for entering my personal information. Yes, that is correct, I'd rather send it via the USPS.
I was a firm believer in foxit, until I had to fill out my 1040 and related forms. Some of the fields were just screwed up. I had to cave and install acrobat. I died a little inside that day.
I agree. I'm not that interested in playing versus mode and survival mode will require playing with friends. Could you imagine how futile it would be playing on a pub?
I bought L4D when it first came out for $50, while I have played it over and over I can't help wish they would've provided more than 4 hours of game play. My friends and I are able to play through each campaign on expert in rougly an hour. I'm ready for a few new campaigns, not new game play modes. I have a feeling that this new survival mode will turn out to be just like arena mode, popular at first but then it fades away.
Asus P6T deluxe V2: $280
6GB of 1300MHz DDR3: $120
People say this is expensive.
The first PC I built 10 years ago cost me ~$1500 for the case, 200 watt PSU, 500Mhz P3, asus motherboard, 512MB of ram and a 8MB video card. I could build a new I7 system for about $900 or $1200 after throwing in a NVidia 285 GTX.
You'd be surprised. I recently build a media pc using a 3.0 GHz core 2 duo, 4GB of ram, etc. The system is deathly quiet compared to my old one, which featured duel p4 xeon's....
Just wait till you get the "Your ISP doesn't have access to download music to iTunes" and "Your ISP doesn't have access to view trailers hosted by Apple"
I've grabbed a trial version of CrossOver and have been tempted to try it with L4D, TF2 and the FEAR 2 demo to see. If it can run them at similar frame rates without any crashes or glitches I'd be more apt to switch over. If I end up spending more time researching fixes than I do playing, I'll stick to windows.
I've been slowly switching from XP to Ubuntu on my work laptop, but I am still stuck with XP at home. I just play too many PC games to give up XP. I really don't care if it boots slower than Ubuntu, or takes longer to shut down. What matters to me is actually using the PC.
I've considered that too, that will be the last resort. Currently Ubuntu is installed inside a image on my ntfs drive (didn't want to deal with IT yelling at me for screwing with the partitions).
Thanks I'll check it out. My latest attempts were install outlook 2007 through the latest version of wine. That's been an effort in futility as well. I can get it installed, but then when I run the account setup wizard the pages are all blank.
I managed to snag one of those free serial numbers for Codeweavers CrossOver when they were giving them out back in October, maybe I'll give that a shot.
Exchange support. Evolution just doesn't cut it. It won't load my global address list and it doesn't seem to handle the "location" field for meeting invites. That means when I get an invite or try to send one I have no clue where our meeting will be.
CVS. I really like TortoiseCVS and can't find an equivalent that is as easy to use. I guess it's not a big deal, I could go back to using the cli, but what can I say, I am lazy.:)
Slashdot Mirror
She's upset about Valve taking 9 months to release a 2 map campaign which totals 30 minutes of gameplay.

Yeah, just like Windows 7 Betas/News were "leaked".
Even better: banning greeting cards and the holidays that were created for them.

You'll be given some kind of controller where you control a person who is playing rock band.

Your friend or his car?
It used to say:
I'm too busy laughing about this with my coworkers.

Users: No drm!
RIAA/MPAA: drm!
I think I have a problem. :(
Yeah, I for one would trust Mark Zuckerberg completely.
I couldn't even type that with a straight face. lol.
Not a single "Finally run vista and play crysis" post to be found.

Is the gaming benchmarks.

If you only knew. IT is constantly screwing with our wireless network. Everytime (daily) that I can't connect they tell me to reboot Windows.

Two main problems that I'm trying to overcome:
:)
Exchange support. Evolution just doesn't cut it. It won't load my global address list and it doesn't seem to handle the "location" field for meeting invites. That means when I get an invite or try to send one I have no clue where our meeting will be.
CVS. I really like TortoiseCVS and can't find an equivalent that is as easy to use. I guess it's not a big deal, I could go back to using the cli, but what can I say, I am lazy.
Everything else has been good so far.
Why do I need a new TV if my current one works just fine? Seems wasteful to me.
