  1. Where to buy? on Asetek LCLC Takes Liquid Cooling Mainstream · · Score: 1

    Anybody actually find where you can buy this system? The article only says that they found one and the price for a minimal setup, but not where. I'm upgrading soon and this could be a good addition to some new hardware. Googling for "asetek liquid cooling system" only finds pages of news articles :(

  2. Re:Maybe... on The Pirate Bay Facing "Old Fashioned" Pressure · · Score: 0, Troll

    And then we can have a little sister collect some more ADAMs!

  3. Re:going on for months with google maps on Google Caught in Comcast Traffic Filtering? · · Score: 1

    I've been having that problem too, for months as well. The other day it occurred to me to try IE Tab (I use Firefox 1.5 normally) and it seemed to load the map fine though. Might want to look into that?

  4. Re:Well nobody's really chimed in with IM yet on Name Your Favorite Bloat-Free Software · · Score: 1

    I've found that many times Trillian actually has a smaller footprint than Pidgin. At least, with only the AIM and Yahoo! messengers enabled on both. Currently it's using 6,104KB, with 4 windows open. Peak usage is 26,220KB.

  5. Re:Too bad Valve. on Valve Says Choice to Make DX10 Vista-Only Hurt PC Gaming · · Score: 1

    That's called "two boxing" and yes some people do it to farm. But you don't need to have both clients updating the screen simultaneously if you can't see both the clients at the same time anyway, so it's not an issue.

  6. Re:Not worth reading this crap on PC Power Management, ACPI Explained In Detail · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Agreed. I was hoping for a couple tips and pointers on how to use a little less power at least, but none there. I suppose the obvious one is just to turn the computer off whenever I'm not using it, but I do that anyway.

  7. Re:West End Games Got It Right on Star Wars Roleplaying Game — Saga Edition · · Score: 1

    Actually, the traits system was in SWRPG already, at least in the revised edition. I imagine now it's a little more worked out and using it is easier, but most classes already had "talent trees" that they got points in every couple levels. I'm not really sure why Zonk pointed out that they exist now, when they did already.

  8. Re:That's a crying shame... on Cell Phones Disable Keys for High-End Cars · · Score: 5, Funny

    I miss the days when you could put your cellphone in the same pocket as your car keys.

  9. Re:Ignoreing them doesnt solve the issue really. on Cleaning up Thunder Bluff · · Score: 1

    They do. Everybody is a moderator in WoW. All you have to do is click a couple buttons, type a short description of what's going on, and wait. That person will get banned for a couple days, and problem solved. I think theres a perma ban after 3rd offense. Alternatively, you could try and be constructive to the person: tell them that their language is offensive to you, and that you would appreciate it if they would stop. They'll probably call you some names, but then thats just more reason to have them banned.

  10. Re:Why? on Interstellar Ark · · Score: 1

    You might find this interesting. You're pretty negative, by the way. What if in a billion years we've managed to harness black holes for power somehow? What if in a billion years, we've actually managed to achieve peace between all races, faiths, etc? What if everybody has enough currency to support themselves comfortably, instead of our current situation? A lot of things can happen in a billion years...

  11. Re: Yea, Paypal Sucks...and that's on a good day on Paypal Won't Release Funds To Slain Soldier's Family · · Score: 1

    It matches one way to say things in German, yes. But, as we all know, it's perfectly reasonable to speak the way Yoda does in English. It's just that nobody does in actuality. English does have major roots in Germanic languages after all.

  12. Re:Tapping nodes on China Clamps Down on Online Gaming · · Score: 1

    He said gay because the Chinese are against homosexuals, and would then enforce some sort of rules against it for being homosexual in nature. At least, thats my take.

  13. Re:As I expected on Wii Launches, Sells Out Peacefully · · Score: 1

    My friend & I live nearby one of the Toys R Us that was open at midnight, so we dropped by there to see how the line was, but when we got there (at roughtly midnight), the line was already greater than the number of consoles they had, so we went home. We left for Target the next morning and got there 40 minutes before it opened, and they were just starting to hand out tickets. We were lucky #90, the last console they had a ticket for. They even gave us free t-shirts. Wii!

  14. Re:I just can't see this taking off on A Lot of Money for Playing Games · · Score: 1

    Ask some native Koreans, I hear they have their own game channel to that effect. I think they mostly watch StarCraft on it though. Not sure.

  15. Meh on HL2 Episode One Panorama Shots · · Score: 1

    It looks better on my computer actually playing the game, rather than those pictures...

  16. Re:Looks like... on Ageia PhysX Tested · · Score: 1

    Even the mirror was already Slashdotted. Impressive.

  17. Re:Ya know... on Microsoft Makes Surprise CE 6 Release · · Score: 1

    I laughed at the tag used for the whole tagging beta thing.

  18. Re:ZIG. on Britain's 400 Years of Cyber Law · · Score: 1

    Not to mention the original quote is "For great justice, take off every Zig!" and not "Take off every Sig, for great justice!"

  19. Re:Nanotechnology on How Hot Would a Light Saber Really Be? · · Score: 1

    I think you might have had to go through the upper part of the freezer in that one guy's bar... Maybe? it's been a while since I played that game.

  20. Re:I've been there on Help for an MMORPG Addict? · · Score: 1

    I probably shouldn't be telling you this... But if you were to reactivate your account, you can throw a petition up to the GMs, and they'll undelete your characters... My friend deleted his characters about a year ago and got them back. They hold longgg records.

  21. Re:Favorite WoW Quest on What Are Some of Your Favorite RPG Quests? · · Score: 1

    Sleepy Peon quest anyone? When you're supposed to wake up peons that are being lazy by hitting them with a mallet? That quest is probably the best one in WoW. And you get it at like, level 3 >. Well that quest and the rat taming quest for the Alliance in the Deeprun Tram... Those are pretty sweet quests.

  22. Re:Final... really on FFXII's Japanese Release · · Score: 0, Redundant

    If my facts are right, they named the series Final Fantasy because if the FF1 didn't sell, Square was going to go out of business (thus, the final fantasy). Only, FF1 sold tons and they stayed in business, made more, and survived.

  23. Re:Stop babying them on Exposing Children to Technology? · · Score: 1

    Wow, my parents did the EXACT same thing. And I'm only 18. Worked out well I guess, now I'm a freshman at University of Illionois in the CS dept. I remember working with an Apple IIE when I was around 4ish, NES maybe at 5 or 6, and then my siblings and I saved up for a Sega Genesis... Those were good times.

  24. Re:Hmm... on New Keyboard Has Just 53 Keys · · Score: 1

    Most keyboards have angled keys. If you were to rearrange the keys, they would feel very odd, and if it matters to you, it would look very strange too.

  25. Re:Old logic flaw. on MMORPGs Will Change the Future · · Score: 1

    That's because you live in Europe, where gas taxes are really high. Here in Chicago, gas is about $2.50 a gallon.
