    Can my monitor wreck my computer?

    Hi all, I have a Viewsonic LCD panel, and I think it has wrecked two motherboards and a laptop. Is that possible? When I touch the end of the VGA cable from the monitor and my case, I feel a mild shock. I can touch it 10 times in a row and every time I get a jolt. This happens with both...

    Carmack Reveals New id Tech

    Yay. Another canyon followed by another tiny corridor. I think id must be a bunch of claustrophiles. I'll hold my applause until id creates a realistic outdoor scene that actually shows some out-of-doors.

    Intel Entering Discrete Graphics Card Market in 08

    m2h mentioned this, but does anyone know what this will mean for open source/linux friendly drivers? I'd heard that Intel had opened its graphics drivers, and if this is so (and remains so) you can sign me up for an Intel graphics card right now.

    30 Days with Vista @ [H]

    I think you'll find that Lisa Simpson's rock kept away tigers, not bears. That may have been what was causing the crashes.

    Google Responds To Billion Dollar Lawsuit

    You'd think that would be true, but it is not. The Grokster case a few years back argued the same defense and were still shut down. It is curious that gun makers aren't held responsible when their products kill people, but software makers are held responsible when their products allow...

    Google Responds To Billion Dollar Lawsuit

    Actually, most warez sites don't have any content hosted. This is what angers me. Many clearly state they simply index files, and host none. They state that what they do can also be done with a google search. Yet they still get charged and convicted. How is this different? Again, Google...

    Vista Innovation @ [H] Consumer

    Yes, I read that article and it was a good one. Would still like to see something similar here, mainly because the [H] "perspective" is more my style.

    Google Responds To Billion Dollar Lawsuit

    Certainly America is not the only country where this is true. It's just unfortunate that it is the country where it seems to be happening the most in the tech world, and that the fact that it is happening is killing the very heart of the competitive edge that makes America great. Methinks they...

    Corsair HX620 620w Power Supply @ [H]

    Sorry, jonnyGURU. Meant as good-natured ribbing. No offense intended.

    Vista Innovation @ [H] Consumer

    In the wake of the excellent "30 days with Ubuntu" article, I was hoping for more of the same with OS X. Like most here I was surprised and disappointed by what I actually read. Dear H|OCP. Please give a Mac to whoever did the "Ubuntu" article and tell him to report back in another month...

    Google Responds To Billion Dollar Lawsuit

    This seems ridiculous. I have been waiting some time to see Google get sued, because it has what all the warez sites do not have -> Billions with which to fight a lawsuit. Basically I'm disgusted. It seems the law in America has little to do with who is right and more to do with how much...

    30 days with Linux @ [H] Consumer

    You're not crazy if you like lipstick on pigs! I like that idea too. I can't code my way out of a paper bag, but I find the ideas endlessly fascinating. I think momentum is the problem. Linux has momentum, and as far is I know is the only non-Windows OS to have it. Could that momentum be...

    Looking for an old-school text game.

    Those may all be great games, but they're not the one I'm looking for. :) I think you picked a flower in it. It was quite short (like 20 minutes or so).

    Very very strange speaker prob, I dont know if anybody can help

    Sounds to me like a bad plug. My guess is a wire has come loose and your speakers think the headphones are plugged in even when they are not. It could be fixed, but (depending on what your speakers are like) an RMA may be easier.
