    Nvidia's new offering

    Not to mention that most of the breath taking results are from using DX 9.0, which isn't scheduled for a while as it is.
  2. Absolutely nothing, I sold parts to someone for $200 bucks, haha.

    LG CD-RW Problems

    I have that exact burner on one of my computers, it runs just fine with Nero...try getting a newer version though, since that is badly out of date....I don't know if that would help. All I did was install XP, install Nero and began burning, there wasn't anything fancy I had to do.

    9x vs 2000Pro vs XP Home - Simulation Benchmarks

    Quote: Heh, 98 won't be the gamers choice for much longer. The memory management issues (and M$ refusal to fix them under its new support policy) in 9x will bite gamers on the *** much sooner than they realise. Yeah, and it's about time. 9x Sucks

    Stupidest Customer/Person You Know (Computers)

    Quote: Guys... Don't you think that it's wrong to call them "stupid" or "dumb"? Odds are they're not unintelligent. They're just not experts in this field, or even experienced to a large extent... remember: They're new at it! Don't you remember being new at this stuff? I do... more than a decade ago, but still, I remember it. I remember making some really foolish mistakes but that's how you learn sometimes. I remember not being able to comprehend at first how to use a mouse even! (That was with my first use of Windows 3.1's graphical interface in fact in 1992 after coming from years of midrange & mainframes use in the 80's on IBM System36/38 & Vax 1180 systems... Unix rigs too, all 4 of them being character mode Os' & user interfaces.). Did that make me dumb or stupid? Not really... just ignorant & inexperienced with a new & alien platform that was graphical compared to character mode input interfaces! (Asking folks is how those folks learn (the smart thing to do, saves time in research or self-experimenting even)) Hey: I still have to do it, nearly everyday, to find out little 'idiosyncracies' of softwares if their description is vague or lacks descriptions on what platforms it works with etc. etc. * APK No offense, but frankly, this type of technology is the future...and a large majority seem to be going in to it not knowing a damn thing...I don't need to say any more. Secondly, an ISP with trained people that don't know the answers for my customers, means they are stupid as well...because they are TRAINED TO KNOW THIS.

    Stupidest Customer/Person You Know (Computers)

    OMG. How about this...just happened days ago. Went to someone's house, got their computer, took it back to the business...first off, it hadn't been cleaned since 1998 when they got the system, and the people that use it have pets and they smoke...it took us over an hour to clean the case and components, because we refused to touch something so gross. The entire system was shot, so they had to buy some parts...we got them installed, installed Windows 98 (typical arguement between them, with them saying that 98 is better than any other OS out there, whatever). Got it working 100%...hooked it up, had to call the ISP because she didn't have the IP/Gateway/DNS information written down...so I get as far as the TCP/IP Properities and she calls them, they ask us where we are, and she said "TCP/IP Properities" and they TOLD US TO EXIT FROM THAT!!! The next minute, they tell us **** that we already know, and we end up in the EXACT SAME SPOT...we enter the information, it's all set up and working. The next day, she says "Hi, it's <name censored for privacy reasons>, we were installing some programs and something screwed up, so we had to reinstall Windows (I'm thinking "WTF?!?!" at this point) and now they can't get internet working. Our ISP says it's our ethernet card that isn't working, because they helped me try everything". I go over there...look, THE DAMN SETTINGS ARE GONE!!!! I put them back on, remembering them from the day before...nothing is working, I can't reinstall IE6, I can't use IE, period, it keeps crashing. I go in to Connections and it turns out that in LAN Settings, there was an automatic configuration script...I look at my partner and shake my head, I disable it, everything works fine. Nice of the ISP to not know their asses from a hole in the ground...but they all use Macintosh computers over there, so do I expect any less? None the less, I charged her $45 for that and the funny thing is, she thought that we weren't going to charge her, because customers figure that once you repair their system once and charge, that you'll do it from then on for FREE!! WRONG...Dumbasses.

    Windows XP FIX, IS IT TRUE

    I was told by someone that they fixed the game problems with Windows XP, by deleting the windows directory, deleteing msdos.sys and all of those that are in C:\ then install DOS, then immediately install Windows XP after that. Now, i wanted to prove that, and yes, no games have errors now, but i don't know if it's because of the dos/windows installs. True story...trust me, I'm one of the best computer students in my whole student. 0wn3d by jdulmage.

    Media Player

    Quote: http://www.winamp.com http://www.ultraplayer.com (this one plays video files too so is probably a better replacement for WMP) We should be in a world now where you don't need to install 3rd party applications to enjoy your favorite music/videos. That's why I don't go anywhere but WMP.

    Alternatives to Winamp

    I made one, still have it, it has no glamor and glitter that the others have, it just plays mp3, wav, and midi. Unfortunately, I haven't worked on it in a long time. End Plugging If I start working on it again, I'll let people here see it, lol. But i'm looking to start work on a Windows optimizer/tweaker ON MY OWN THIS TIME. As for other ones, just go to download.com and search for MP3 Players or something in the downloads section...i'm sure you'll find something. RealPlayer is crap, so don't even get that

    New Betas!

    well, whether you like it or not, it's what most of you are using, haha. Besides, it's best to install and try every OS (Windows 9x, NT, Linux) and any other standard OS, so that you have the knowledge of them, for things like tech support.

  16. For me, only on old drives (like 40 MB ones) or floppy disks. But it's funny to see it THAT badly hurt.

    Windows XP FIX, IS IT TRUE

    Quote: It does not sound logical since WinXP does not upgrade from dos!!! it formats the drive as far as i know. Also how can you install dos on a P3, 4 or an athlon XP with 256MB+??? Well I don't care anyway so forget it! hehe, of course it does..you gotta read the original post I made on this back last year or so.
  24. The people I worked with smoked pot and only cared about making money. Where's the passion? Without it, there is no product.
