  1. Wait WHAT!? on Game Over's E3 Preview · · Score: 0
    Windows Vista. While we'll almost certainly see a couple of games that take advantage of the system's improvements
    Wait take advantage?? Of what?? How is a game or any software for that matter suposed to take advantage of an operating system that requires a gig of memory just to run the operating system? Oh wait I think I got it...
    Windows Vista Features: Will magically shit out a new stick of memory for your computer from the second you double click on an icon.
    will not be included with Windows vista
  2. All in whats cool and not cool on The Time for Women in Games · · Score: 0

    Well it seems to me that back in the 90's games were geared towards nerds. Playing a video game was not the "Hip" thing to do. Now comes the 2000's. Now there is a game out to entertain just about anyone. From your casual D&D nerds to your typical jocks wich sports games.

    It seems that now there are games out for anyone, the thought of video games aren't so "Nerdish". As more and more begin to look at video games as being popular, more and more females will jump on it because thats what everyone does and its not so nerdy.

  11. Re:Have they removed the Dell spyware and malware on Dell Aims for Gamers with XPS M1710 · · Score: 1, Interesting

    First lets see...there is this cool feature in windows called Add/Remove Programs. Its cool because all that stuff you mentioned you can get RID OF! I know its crazy isnt it?

    Second Dell's tech support is WAY better than any other coputer company I have had to deal with. Lets start with gateway.
    Now I am a Dell reseller, but there is a company that I work for who uses Gateway Profile computers. We had one break on us once. (Busted Motherboard) so we called up gateway for service. After 3 hours of the Shittiest waiting music and most anoying automated system lady, I got in touch with someone. We spent some time on the phone chatting and we were going to ship our system out to be worked on.

    Here is the first problem. Gateway requires you to ship to them not "Let us come out and fix it" This is where Dell is better. To have a technician come out the next day and fix your stuff is great.

    So gateway sends us a box to ship the PC in. The box takes 3 days to get to my office. (Dell is useually next day in all there service) The box comes and we send it on its way. 6 days later they recieve the box and begin service. We get the box back 5 days later. As we open the box we find that the LCD screen is cracked. OH JOY so we contact gateway and send it back on its marry way. 6 days later they recieve the computer. Approx 6 days later we recieve it back. YAY ANOTHER BAD MOTHERBOARD!!!

    Well we contact gateway and tell them the situation. They are going to send us out a brand new Profile PC. But oh wait? They just the businesses account. Turns out in 2004 the place we do business with had not returned an old replacement part that they should have shipped off and now NOW in 2006! They lock the account.... So right now we have been waiting 8 days for the effin box to send out the frekin product that gateway wants to unlock our account.

    My experience with dell has been much better than others. Sure you have to talk with there tech support and run through a few steps but its there job. They dont know that we are experienced professionals. Useually what I do is troubleshoot all the big stuff and just tell Habeeb "Hey I replaced this tested this and this is bad" or what not. Normally at that point they will say "Ok we will have your replacement part and a dell technician out next day" (And I never had to wait 3 Hours to speak to a represenative)

    Dell is not a bad company. They just recieve alot of fire due to being such a massive computer company.

    (Sorry for the major typo's and what not...Im late for work ^_^)

  15. Nothing new to me on Best Buy 'Geek Squad' Accused of Pirating Software · · Score: 2, Funny

    I used to work for a company as a Computer Technician. We used pirated software aswell. There was a bestbuy down the street from us and we would here stories on how they charged people so long for the dumbest thing. The one that will go down in history is...

    "They said they were going to charge 2 hours to clear my brouser History."

    That aside being a technician is fun in a college town...You get all the skimpy girls computers and see the sorority pictures that they take. Ah yes for boobies ^_^ I love my job.

  16. No one cares about the constitution on AT&T Forwarding All Internet Traffic to NSA? · · Score: 0

    The problem is the goverment doesnt care about the constitution. They pretty much run this nation and can do whatever they damn well please.

    A bunch of pesents like us isn't going to change how they feel. They will do whatever benifits them more.

  19. Over Priced on Mark Vena on Dellienware · · Score: 0

    Alienware is way overpriced. But I see this as being a potential good thing. Perhaps Alienware will drop in price significantly. On top of that they will still carry AMD processors. This could be a good move. I might consider Alienware PC's....well mabye the laptops...I build my PC's

  20. Its not a good thing on Professor Bans Laptops from the Classroom · · Score: 0

    I personally can type as fast as someone can talk. Telling me I have to write what you say will distract me more. I would be writing trying to catch up to the teacher. By the time I was done I couldnt even read my own handwriting.

    Simply put, you get less detail onto paper and on top of that if you type you can get done faster to view what is on the board. It does not help students at all focus as to what the teacher is saying. Insted your busy trying to play catchup.

    This is DEFIANTLY NOT FOR YOUR CHILDREN!
    So I guess that takes out the WoW team? But seriously from what I read this could just be another target for the media to blame violent kids on video games, rather than their shitty parenting.
