WayoffbaseMassive bit torrent traffic terrifies developers into tacking ill conceived DRM onto their games, the chicken came before the egg on this one. It is counter-productive, and a lot of publishers are actually waking up to this fact now, but if you steal a poorly DRM'd game just to 'stick...

NocturnalOneThe key thing is longevity. That was promised by CFLs but not delivered as far as I'm concerned. I'm always replacing the damn things. Not to mention you can't just throw 'em in the trash because of the mercury.These expensive bulbs are only useful for applications where they are on...

as long as this isn't insanely expensive it may be good for some consumers.

hemelskonijnPlaying a game seriously is an oxymoron at least! if it was serious its no longer a game and vice versa.Using the battle.net service they can authenticate your copy every time you play by forcing you to log in to battle.net when you boot up the game.However the better way to handle...

caskachanBefore Valve released steam, hl+mods players used the warez pirated version to play on WON servers, but after they swtiched to steam, account system, and took down WON network, now every kid i know that had pirated hl+mods, actually bought the games to continue playing, so valve did...

theangrygimpHow sad that you don't even know how popular it had gotten. Sega headquarters in japan set an insane minimum number of units to sell or they were closing the system making shops worldwide, and it still almost sold enough to pass the mark in the U.S.. It didn't go over as well in...

Yes, I run Ubuntu and arch(although I dual boot with winXP) both have gnome. I'm still waiting for KDE to get a little more stable.

hustler539This is a good thing. As more consoles accept PhysX, gamemakers are more likely to embrace it as well. That means more eye candy to us, and I for one definately don't mind more realism I don't care honestly about graphics. PhysX could be a damn good thing if it adds to gameplay and...

ProDigit80different types of ram matter less I find!I only find it strange to run 24GB of DDR3 RAM without a passive cooling blade That's one of the points they're trying to prove I believe. They don't need a cooling blade.

I don't see why Intel can't just release a low-end LGA1333 board and keep it simple like that.

CryogenicCore i7 is a great CPU, the article is not. I can't believe after all this time you still stack overclocked CPUs with unoverclocked ones. It's great to find out the overclocking potential of Nehalem but, at least include some overclocked Penryns in there too, to see how overclocked...

Good article, and may I say Keep up the good work.
