hi.. G7 is ok.. but which cordless keyboard should i purchase then ? which is sold alone in the markete??

You don't know what you're talking about when it comes to mousepads and gaming. The reason why this mousepad is big is because there are gamers out there who play with low sensitivities who actually use about 90% of a mousepad that size.

Also friction on a mousepad is really all preference. Some people like a really smooth mousepad and others prefer a really rough mousepad, you shouldn't say that this is a bad mousepad because of it. I have used this mousepad and I can tell you it is a great mousepad if you don't mind a bit of friction and play any FPS competetivley.

I just swapped out the CPU on this system....I must say that Aron was if anything too charitable in his review. I hesitate to really trash a product and always try and give the benefit of the doubt to a manufacturer, but my bottom line review of this case is do not even think about buying it. Even given the fact that a slim case requires a more difficult installation of components, it is obvious that the whoever designed the case never actually had to work with it. It was bad enough to configure....forget about a CPU Swap....even HDD changes are painful.

Thanks for that tip. I still don't run Setpoint on it because the mouse movement is very different from the Windows control.

i'm can't configure the wheel click in half life 2... i have another mouse that wok as a mouse3 but in the mx1000 it doesnt work like a buton at least on HL2...plz help

I have the MX1000 laser mouse. I am very happy with it. At the time I was looking for a new/updated keyboard and mouse combo. The MX3100 combo set was not available at that time.

Thanks for the great article on the MX3000 set. Logitech keeps coming up with the newest and latest technology. I am waiting to update my keyboard now when the G15 gaming keyboard comes out. I look forward to seeing your review on it.

...best $1.88 I ever spent. Very sweet FPS!

Right-on! Nothing like paying your hard-earned coin for a product that doesn't work right!

I've found the best solution to removing Spyware from a machine quickly (under 30 minutes), without completely reformatting, is to do the following:

1) Boot up in safe mode
2) Remove all P2P programs, toolbars, other garbage (This includes cleaning the actualy directories and files from the system)
3) Use HiJackThis (I'm not going to explain how, if you don't know, then you're bound to get Spyware again) to remove all entries that are bad (comes from experience)
4) Create a new user
5) Boot up the machine in normal
6) Logon with the new user you created
7) Install Microsoft AntiSpyware, get updates, run scan
8) Move what you need to move from the old user over to the new user (email, favorites, documents, etc)
9) Delete your old user
10) Enjoy

sorry for the delay in responding.

the fact that the creatures don't have texture maps doesn't detract from the overall great look of the game (much time is spent zoomed out, so texturing would be lost anyway). This was also probably done to keep the framerate solid, since there can be 100's of 3d bugs/plants/objects on screen at once. also, you gotta love the speical effects in the "zoo" mode. then animals look very believable. the GC is a very capable system: too bad nintendo has their head up their ass half the time (see my related news article/rant)...

I added a little more meat to article because a I got a letter complaining on how it "sucks" and doesn't have specs and/or comparisons to other products.

I'd just like to clarify that this review was more a discussion on the idea of studio audio monitors at home, and how beneficial they were to me. Not every review needs to be drowned in charts and specs. It's just meant to be a "heads-up", letting people know that for 150 bucks, you can run down to CompUSA and let these puppies help you bang out some sweet mixes.

Good quick and dirty primer on basic encryption techniques.

In your upcoming articles, are you going to discuss any of the following:

- Recommended software to perform these tasks
- Hardware dongles (USB dongles, swipe cards, etc), bioscanner devices (Fingerprint, retinal, etc), other devices that can be used to unique static information that can be used as a key
- Rotation schemes and updating of keys to provide for higher level of security incase of key breaches
- HOWTO on discovering what technique was used to encrypt information by looking at the encrypted data

I would be interested in reading about some high-level (256bit and above) encryption for a variety of filesystems for Mac, Linux and Windows systems that is integrated with some type of scanner device or hardware dongle. Ideally it would provide maximum security for a machine which may be physically compromised while maintaining complete data security.

hey man....thats some fan you got there...
all we need now is a fan that talks to you....

"hey you....yeah i'm talkin to you...what are you out of your mind?...i'm not going to cool your large tower with 8 harddrives all by myself"..says the talking fan...

OMG....WTF...

Thanks for pointing that out. I'll update the article for both.

Did they show you the Tarzan presentation? LOL
The AMD banter was quickly hushed by the Intel reps and I was quite pleased with the presentation. Probably one of the more informing events that I have attended and I must say I am most pleased with the assortment of food they offer. It made my day to leave the event with a Intel 550 P4 3.4 HT compliments of Intel.

Oh kiss me where it smells funny!

Be more specific. You stink in a lot of places, i'm sure.

PWNED! puh-CHHHEEEEWW puh-CHEEEEWWWWWWWWWW

That picture nearly made me wet myself I laughed so hard!

NEARLY? From here it smells like you went through with it....

You're correct about the CPI determination, I pulled that out of a hat. That was for explination purposes only (in regards to branches and other pipeline stalls). I did explain why the clock speed increased for a pipelined CPU.

Quote

In a multi-cycle CPU, the clock speed is set for the longest amount of time one stage of the pipeline takes. In the laundromat example, it would set at 40 minutes since that is the longest stage in the datapath.

1. ATX will slowly be phased out just as AT did when ATX came out.

2. Each of the components are rotated to provide maximum airflow.

I'll add this to the article.

I just want to say, I have this thing on the front of my case and I agree, it does kinda suck. The colors are kinda cool, but the VU meters don't really work right, so I'm not sure what CoolerMaster was thinking actually putting it out on the market....

Fine, I concede to your mighty Google searching powers of a one word search. And yes, while we were writing the paper, the research that we were reading used the terms synonymously, mistakenly or not.

My box says: Supports EAX, DirectSound3d and A3D

I have no problems whatsoever as a gamer. Been using it for well over 6 months and I am a very happy customer.

Is it just me, or are more and more X Box Live games having online problems lately after release? Why is it that companies feel that it is okay to release a game with buggy online support just to get the game out on time? Rat bastards.

sorry but the faces should be drive letter D

its too bad they keep pushing the date back, once it comes out, i hope it rock the foundation of all gameing systems. if so, we might have a new Era. of gameing for all systems.

I really dug the game for a couple of hours...non-stop action. After a while though, it's redundant.

Hello my friend !

Can you please send me those zip files for oc my ati radeon 9500 pro 128mb Please?

Excellent head to head reviews guys. You're the Ebert and Roeper of the video game audio review world. Rude once again sets the standard for the level of professionalism that we strive for here at ASE Games.

Ohh hell yeah. The game is great with that sort of thing.

ah, and never forget the glorious wonders the mute button can do. speakign of which here are some related penny arcade comics..
