Spore / DRM / EA / PC Game Industry

I have, and will continue to seed a copy of spore every day when I'm not around. They really need to learn; 5 copies is not acceptable. Trying to say that only a small amount of the population are at target is like saying "I just threw a nuclear bomb at NYC, but only a few people were...

EVE Online good?

It's a very detailed game, but a lot of fun to play. High learning curve, and very long-term oriented. Not a game to just play for a week and put down. Very interesting in low-sec space, whether pirating or not. Eventually if you set up with the right corp you can play for free essentially, too...

WAR - what is your impression?

I love it :) It needs some fixing, but overall, a lot of fun. There's a very accurate review out there from Beta, which was pretty accurate even. http://bookofgrudges.wordpress...warhammer-online-beta/ Basically: it's the next progression of an MMO after WOW, and hopefully between it...

Who's using Google Chrome?

I'll be waiting for 3 things: 1 and 2: an adblocker for chrome and websites rendering properly 3: firefox to go separate processes for it's tabs as well (if google can do it, how hard can it be?) I suspect that #3 will drive people back to firefox quite a bit, although it'd be nice to...

PhysX worthless with ATI?

The closest thing to a significant game for PhysX was UT3. There is nothing else worth it, even Fury. I'll wait another 2-3 generations of cards before I expect additional particle physics to be even in consideration of any form of graphics card purchase. First and foremost is...

HDMI vs VGA out of a 4870 or 8800GTS 512

Dvi to HDMI adapters typically work cross-components, however if I remember right there are two types. One is digital and one is analog I believe. As far as the heat of your 4870, have you looked into alternate options? I've heard the stock cooler is crap and that replacing it makes a diff of...

Why AMD should merge with Nvidia

The OP is so far off that it's almost insulting. I totally support if you have your own preference for Nvidia over AMD because people should be entitled to their opinions, but please base them off fact. Here's what happens: AMD + Intel + Nvidia compete, and whoever is down gets trashed by...

Driving slower = better gas mileage. Fact or myth?

Remember that MPG is affected by the gear ratio in addition to forces such as drag. Also remember that cars RPMs will come into the equation separate of gear ratio. If you're driving and your car is only running at 2000 rpms (and think of how much gas is used for each ignition of the spark...

WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF HAVING TWO DESKTOPS IN LINUX

With compiz (for expo) I usually keep 4-8. Without, usually 2. It's just a great way to be able to have programs running and not on your "current screen", is the simplest way I can say it.
