I was having some overheating problems with my two ati xtx1950's that are 3-4 years old. I thoroughly cleaned all of the dust out of my case. I carefully took apart my graphics cards and cleaned off some dust that I couldn't clean otherwise. I also replaced and upgraded my PSU, since it was as old as the graphics cards were. Everything works wonderful again, just like new. Granted they're older cards, but they run great now with no

I haven't looked at the files in awhile, but I'm very sure that you can open up the xml files for research, and add to their cost. The higher the cost, the longer it will take to research it. Play with the numbers until you get what you like. 8)

If you're not buying a box, and just getting a direct download, I wouldn't bother getting the special edition unless you really like all of "the making of" stuff. All of the in game special items will be available on release day to everyone who has access to the internet. [e digicons]:)[/e] Unless they've changed it from how they've done every game so far... I remember readong that all of the editions get all of the DLC free, sans the Warden's Kee

[quote who="Coelocanth" reply="105" id="2404855"] The only DLC you have to pay for is Warden' Keep, and it's $7. If you buy the digital download CE (Deluxe Edition), you get it for free. Warden's Keep was always intended to be for-pay DLC, and the only reason it's available on day 1 is because of the delay in the release date of the PC version of the game. This gave the DLC team enough time to finish it by launch date. And to address the inveitable questions of why it wasn't i

[quote who="Tormy-" reply="101" id="2402843"]Check out this new gameplay movie. http://www.giantbomb.com/quick-look-dragon-age-origins/17-1477/ I'm gonna buy this game for sure. [/quote] The game does look very promising. I'm happy that the DRM is very reasonable. I am unhappy that on the release day, there will be a (if you pay for it) DLC released. It seems ridiculous that if I buy a brand new game on release day that I'm already missing out

Aren't the Star Wars ships still on imod? There's a mod on Rapidshare that has many of the Star Trek ships, a link used to be on the forums here.

[quote who="GeneralEtrius" reply="21" id="2398578"]Can someone give me links to the best oblivion mods so I can get them if I get the game?[/quote] That would be a list of 500 links, if we tried to keep it short.... Oblivion isn't like most games, where there are one or two mods that you need and the rest don't really matter. The vanilla game is very bland, repetitive, and flawed. It takes a bit to get it to the levels it should have been at relea

@starkers I did the bsod thing a long time ago to him. That was about six pranks ago. Give or take. @Vstlyer Nothing that drastic. His main comp is a laptop anyway, not many places to hide @ IztokBitenc, DanDaBear, & MogMoogle I tried using the short

It helps if there are problems in the registry, but then would have worked unlocker[/quote] A system restore means I loose everything since then, and to be honest, it's been hidden on my computer for awhile. It was a very tiny icon, hidden underneath my dock. It's very clever, but once noticed, very annoying.

[quote who="Philly0381" reply="3" id="2379671"]You could always ask you brother how to fix it. [/quote] I already tried that. After the expected ridicule, he said he had no clue. It's just something he found that he thought he would do to me. And he honestly doesn't know, it's not just to prolong to torment, not that he feels bad either. [e digicons];)[/e]

That didn't work either, but thank you for trying. it says "C:\could not find File That You Can't Delete.haha " I am 110% sure that it is typed correctly, as I've tried multiple times, and even using the tab in the command promp to automatically bring up the file name, so that's not the issue.

So my brother and I play jokes on eachother all of the time. No big deal, but this last time, he put file on my desktop named "File That You Can't Delete.haha " I'm not sure if the website formatting will show it, but there is a mystery extra space at the end of the .haha file extension. It's annoying, and I can't delete, copy, paste, cut, move, rename, or otherwise do anything to it. If I try to rename it, it puts me into a loop, because my PC won't accept the old name

Designs that were made pre-twilight will most likely not work post-twilight. The SD crew redid many of the jewelry pieces, realigning them and such, and that made every old design obsolete.

[quote who="Moosetek13" reply="46" id="2374285"] Being racist is genetic, then? And it is something we all share in to some extent, and just can't help it? There was an article, just in the past couple days, that put forth that idea - that racism was genetic in nature. Might have been Time magazine, or some such. If so, shouldn't racism be protected under the law instead of being something looked down upon and legislated against? If we are born

[quote]is it racist to be racist against a group of people who are themselves racist.[/quote] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Well, this can be generalized to mean that all rappers are racist. Which is ignorant, but not exactly racist. If you can't tolerate a culture different than your own, then you are a racist. If that culture is racist too, that has no bearing on you. You're still a racist. You and them are

[quote who="Zyxpsilon" reply="72" id="2370501"] But I will not pay for malware. Nobody does either ways; legally bought or pirated copies. What most people hate, i gather, is supplemental verifications (through hidden processes) by code taking up useless space on their PC... i KNOW that also. But, worst if there isn't anything to protect YOUR paid software (not malware, need i insist) from being stolen from YOU (and not by Pirates or from the publisher itself)

[quote who="GeneralEtrius" reply="20" id="2367814"]This may be a bit of a generalization, but it seems most rap talks about getting bitches, getting a lot of bling and a big house, talking ghetto style, and doing other L.A. black gangster stuff. Listened to a few Eminem songs though, he's pretty good.[/quote] um... So the white gangster stuff is cool? His lyrical ability sets him apart from a lot of rappers, but liking him but not rap

[quote who="Zyxpsilon" reply="51" id="2369533"] DRM isn't an inconvenience, it's the PROOF that i was honest enough to invest in someone else's business rather than stealing from them. [/quote] I legally bought Mass Effect, installed in on my PC and laptop. I had an install error on my laptop, but it was solved. My PC crashed, and I was on hold for two hours with EA customer support because I had only owned the game for two weeks and had already activated it three time

If for no other reason, weapons would be needed for defense. The guns aren't as big a problem for me. They obviously aren't armed to the teeth, as they are building new guns, not selling old ones. Also, a nailgun is a weapon. So is a welding torch. Either one tweake

I took to the impression that most of the prawns were a lower, worker caste. You'll find similar intelligence levels in slave workers in most third world countries (and the slave shops in china and so forth) that make products for us civilized folk. That, upon the obvious (from a human standpoint) mental abnormalities that would happen to the majority of any person kept in the conditions they were kept in. Also, the plot holes are anything but from a lack

Being arrogant and attacking the pirates won't have very much effect. There will be more. Demonizing it without looking at the things that cause it is twice as idiotic. There will always be a way to pirate. I've downloaded several games to see if they're worth playing. If they are, I buy them. If they're not, I don't. No exceptions. I'll never buy a game with intrusive DRM either, where the pirate copies are even a higher
