And I do mean lousy! Just look at thist station: KZST It's so bad I can smell the garbage through the radio. And it's all we can get. :confused: We have an antenna, but it doesn't really make it that much better. You can hear the rock stations but only barely. I've heard you can have the Cable...

lol! Trying all these freeware/shareware applications, and the one that comes with WinXP might work. I find it funny... you go to import a video into Movie Maker, and it takes forever. Then you go to drag all of the clips into the timeline, and a window pops up saying it could take a few...

I'd like to simply join or attach two video files of exactly the same format (video and audio) and size and whatnot. I'd prefer to do a simple join without re-encoding if possible, but my AMD64 3200+ is up to the task if I have to encode anything. I've tried burning DVDs with DVD Santa 4.0...

Thanks for the files! Even though I have 1.5M/128K DSL, those videos will take some time to d/l. :p Gotta love big gaming videos.

That is one hard game to find! Here in the US it only came out as a limited edition thing, it was only on shelves for a couple weeks, then it was gone. I had to download it, but I've had no problems playing it under XP Pro. It gets through the intro movie fine.

But is "Best" the right word for an AC like PB? I do see PB going into a lot of programs, and it's disappointing. It's almost like DRM, where you take away some of the control and ownership from the computer owner and give it to a faceless corporation or other entity. The way I see computer...

For a while, I was looking at this motherboard (MSI Neo2 Platinum, AGP graphics), and then I started looking at this one (MSI Neo4 Platinum, PCI Express graphics and SLI), but one of the reviews praised Newegg's service, then blasted MSI for not using standard parts, requiring a 24 pin power...

I see your point about the RAM. Now, what if I go 1x512 for now? As you said the single stick stands alone. Then say in a month I add another 512, so I have 2x512. Will they double up? Yes, I meant Athlon64. I've made this mistake before. No, I'm going for the socket 939, 90nm Athlon64...

I was going to build that computer a few months ago, when I got a loan for miscellaneous stuff... But it didn't happen... So now I'm looking at stretching my income tax return around some hardware at Newegg to throw together a decent rig. The original plan was to use the income tax return to...

We went through everything. Take my word for it, my friend knows his way around Quake 3. He writes his own CFG files, and when I played on his LAN, I was using an 800MHz P3... He had all the textures disabled... It looked like crap but was very playable. Then I played on his AthlonXP 3200+...

What? If you have a movie on your computer -- this could be a DVD, or it could be a downloaded Divx or Xvid AVI movie, or a Real, Quicktime, or Windows Media clip -- you could hook it up to the TV and essentially use the TV as a monitor... If you have the proper connections. This is really...

For about a year I knew a guy on the other side of the country (California here, he's in VA) who was into Quake III, and I got myself a copy of the game (legally of course) so I could play him online. He walked me through all the downloads I would need to update the game. A point release...

What about AnyDVD? I heard about it, never used it, but supposedly it runs in the background and defeats all the stupid stuff DVD has in the name of security; not just Macrovision but the region code as well. Basically putting a DVD in your computer with AnyDVD running makes the computer think...

OK... First of all, if sites are bullying your computer into installing Spyware or porn, get Firefox and the Adblock extension... and Lavasoft Ad-Aware to clean up MSIE's mess. For the extremist, google nLite, and configure your Windows Setup CD (2000, XP, and 2003 only) to not install MSIE to...

If you have eMule, go into Documents and search for programming manual. I found this really technical guide to the GBA. I don't know if it has hardware schematics, but it has a lot of really technical stuff in it. It's like 700kB, not too big, but on eMule you have to wait for a source to...
