  1. You can use SpaceMonger to see what's using up space on your hdd (there's a 2.x version but it's a pay-for...the 1.4.x one is free) but it sounds like you might have a part of your hdd that isn't formated. Go into Computer Management > Disk Management and check it out.
  2. I believe the sign up is immediate if you use a credit card. It only takes it about a week or so if you're connecting your bank account to it.
  3. Better not have any mirrors in your living room this year.
  4. I'll pass. The only paper I'll pay $50 for better have Grant on it.
  5. Not to have Metallica's back or anything, but the only problem they had with napster was the pirating of their studio recordings, the digitally mastered stuff. The often encouraged people to videotape/record their concerts and share it with others.
  6. Wozniak has embraced a different technology.
  7. In the time that .fx is talking, the Intel chips were hard locked and I never heard of someone successfully unlocking them. The pencil trick was used on the pre-Barton AMD chips. With the Barton's (and the other AMD cpus of that time), you had to get a silicon paint and use that to bridge the connection (I think it was the L1 you bridged...but it's been awhile). What .fx said about the cpu testing is correct. They'd batch make a bunch and then test them at different speeds. While each chip is manufactured the same way, each will perform differently because of many different reasons so those that perform better at the higher speeds are sold as such, those that didn't were sold as slower cpus. As for shortening the life, any time you "over-"blah anything, your putting more stress on it so it's only logical that it's lifespan will be shortened. But in this day and age, the turnaround time on new chips is so fast, you'll most likely upgrade before you come anywhere near blowing out your chip. This of course assumes you stick to the stock voltages. Once you start fiddling with the voltages, you can take a perfectly good chip and make it into a key chain on one boot up.
  8. I've heard they were going to do that once the purchase by OCZ was finalized.
  9. If I ever get up that way mohawk, I'll take you up on the offer.
  10. Do you see any kind of error right before the crash? Just so you don't think you're alone, the guy at the following link is having the same problem, although no one has responded to him yet. http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/show...ad.php?t=764718
  11. Well, it did take some getting used to but I got started in 2002 on the original Boomslang. I use the dual-optical Logitechs at work (old corded mouse that just works and works) and I catch myself trying to squeeze my fingers together to my gaming way all the time.
  12. Did you monitor the cpu and gpu temps during the tests?
  13. Bah, I never get the chance (or bother to think about) taking lunch at a specific time during the day. More often then not I work through it. Lol, I knew this was gonna come up too.
  14. Well, I haven't messed with JS in a long time and even then, it was just me trying to learn it on my own and giving up. I will suggest books by the WROX publisher. Any WROX books I've gotten have been great.
  15. I've never cared for whatever genre of music you classify this as. Also, did the picture never change? Why make a "video" of it if you're not really going to make a video?
