Let me put it this way: Sufficiently advanced (i.e. beyond our technology of today) technology is basically indistinguishable from "magic" or "witchcraft." Think about what would ...

Finally! I always wondered why there was never a network option for Complete PC Backup. I fudged it; I created a Complete PC Backup of my laptop (which has no DVD burner) on a USB drive, then put ...

If you're having problems with games, check out http://forums.hamachi.cc; chances are someone else is trying to play the game you are and you can find a solution. ...

There are possible alternatives for Intel's quads performance-wise now? Of course we're not talking price, Q6600 can be had for $180 if you know where to look. Hopefully a performance WIN, but cer ...
Driver Protection - Whither Blue Screens? on Even More Windows 7 Features Revealed in Privacy Statement
Posted 10/29/2008 at 09:28:02am
So perhaps the OS will ward off (some) blue screens on its own? My only fear is that this feature will go into overdrive, so if a driver crashes *once* it is treated as a pariah forever... ...

Even last year I saw a notebook on the shelf at a Sam's Club with 4GB RAM and Home Premium x64. If you have 4GB RAM I see no reason to NOT use x64. However, personally since my laptop only has 2GB ...

I've used Vista Business since the Express Upgrade was available. Vista has gotten much, much better since then. Really, if Windows 7 is based on Vista (which it is), I don't think there is going ...

My big issue with Steam is the terrible download speeds, whether it be on my University connection (10kB/sec, shaped) or home (45kB/sec on a 6Mbit DSL line). The speeds suck! The concept itself is ...

Right now, the 9800GX2 is boned (again). The drivers will not allow multi-display (even cloning) because of the way the 9800GX2 is setup. GX2 = FAIL. ...

I don't have a problem with ads unless, as has been pointed out earlier, they are out of context. However, if they are realistic within the context of the game (say a billboard for Joe Smith along t ...

I noticed one of the applications that gets a compatibility fix is "WinAntivirus Pro 2007." Is that "fix" a "block?" 'Cause last I checked, WinAntivirus Pro is spyware. ...
Posted 02/07/2008 at 02:35:11pm
Last I heard, WinAntivirus Pro was spyware...so I don't really care if it gets blocked. See this quote from MaxPC itself: "Although the connection isn’t clear, the folks behind DriveCleaner also se ...

I only used WDS because nothing else was able to parse Microsoft's OneNote files (which I need for class), so Google was out (I'm not sure if they have a OneNote indexer now, I haven't looked). Vista ...

I think "innovative" is somewhat of a subjective term. Personally I can see where those who believe BioShock is "same old" are coming from. Yet I enjoyed it. Why? Because it might have been the "s ...

It seems that this will include the two "Performance and Reliability" fixes that supposedly repair many issues with newer graphics cards. This is a welcome step, I will have to slipstream so I don't ...

Replace "Communism" with "terrorism." That's all it is. See "McCarthyism." Maybe Bush has protected us all these years after 9-11, but if that's true why do we need all these new programs?

People will only take so much. Ad-supported Gmail? Fine, the ads are completely unobtrusive (for more than one reason...) If games just become yet another advertising tool, some people will just b ...
