• Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.

    Stores Smarten Up Amid Spam Flood

    I look forward to the newegg shell shocker everyday but that's the only one. I bet you can opt out of microcenter. I don't get daily junk from them.

    Asus P67 Pro: UEFI screen cut-off

    I just bought an Asus P8Z68-V LX and had the same problem with wrong resolution. I found this post while looking for a way to fix it. I never did find an answer online but I did find a solution by accident. I was using the vga port on my monitor because I didn't have a dvi cable. I was using...

    Employee Internet usage tracking, reporting and blocking

    Might give MS ISA Server a look. I like it. I admit I haven't tried many others though. I'm sure there is a less costly solution. http://www.microsoft.com/isaserver/evaluation/trial/default.mspx

    Meshed Independed Security Surveillance For A Community Wide Surveillance System

    Direct Networking

    Yes, that works well for two PC's. When you go to 3 or 4 machines you can get a 4 port router pretty cheap. Linksys, Netgear, Dlink and many others make them for $50-$100.

    From the front page...IP address problem.

    Cyberspace Running Out Of Room? TechWeb has an interesting article that basically says that cyberspace is running out of room. Obviously this isn’t something that is happening tomorrow but it is something to keep in mind...you know, that whole “food for thought” thing. By 2012 about 17...

    Dell GX150- would you buy one

    The GX 150's are pretty good machines, if you need a PC for internet, email and wordprocessing and only have $50 bucks to spend. They're getting old and the harddrives will be failing soon. I know, because one of the companies I contract with have had several of them go bad lately. That's a risk...

    eMachines stories.....

    I haven't seen any recent emachines, but my aunt and my wife's mother both have emachines that have been working great for 7 years or so. They're both 300MHz AMD machines with Win 95 and ugh...56K dialup. The only really bad thig is, my aunt bought a new Kodak digital camera and it won't work...

    Upgrade to X850XT?

    So, my stock X300 is getting a little tired and I'm looking to upgrade. It has done exactly what I had hoped it would do, keep my system within budget and get me by until I could upgrade. This X850XT seems to fit my budget. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814102483...

    Dellienware CEO Opinion at Extremetech.

    Heh, I've actually considered just that. Kinda tired of being downsized from the IT dept. every couple years. Problem is I don't enjoy dealing with the public. I'd have to hire some really good CS folks.

    Dellienware CEO Opinion at Extremetech.

    I can't wait to read the review. After my cousin's experience with his AW laptop over the last 4 months, I have decided to look elsewhere. I used to believe I wanted an Alienware machine, but not so much right now.

    can't play wmv's...black screen (audio, no video)

    I just recently discovered this myself. I had to help a person set up thier laptop to display on a projector and couldn't figure out why the video would display on the laptop and not the projector. I ended up just diabling the LCD and only using the projector. I'll try turning off accelleration...

    Would you go to the Library more if they had Video Games?

    Thanks for pointing that out. Probably a more important point than I had thought in the begining. My focus was on the video gaming aspect mostly because this tends to be a video game focused forum.

    Would you go to the Library more if they had Video Games?

    My original statement. I said many, not most. Maybe I should have said several instead of many. Gaming services does not necessarily equal LAN gaming center. After the statement, I simply asked a few questions for everyone to consider. This has turned out to be quite a good discussion...
