So download and use OpenVPN instead. You don't have to use PIA's software, it's merely an option they provide. Most of my machines use OpenVPN to connect to their servers, and it works without issue.

Guess it's time to pick a new Android ROM.

Having played through several beta weekends to date, I don't have a lot of faith in ESO's success. Maybe if the endgame is absolutely phenomenal, but the leveling experience and what I've seen of the combat leave a lot to be desired. The "story" may as well not exist at all.

sempifi99No, you are a troll for assuming I was lying. And saying 2004 is not far off, the computer was built in 2005 and it has an updated graphics card... let me list the specs for you below. Motherboard: Asus K8N-DLCPU: Dual Opteron 285Ram: Quad Quimonda 2GB PC3200R Gpu: EVGA GTX 680 That...

To be blunt, the iPad in those pictures looks like what you get when you stick an image in photoshop and boost the saturation and vibrance by 20%. And while my u2412m isn't a wide gamut display, it's neither a garbage TN panel nor uncalibrated. You guys might need to invest in some new test...

V8VENOMIt's a MOVIE people, NOT a documentary ... heck even documentaries get the facts wrong. This is something to entertain, NOT FACT!! I only hope those that watch Hollywood productions do actually understand they are not real, just fictional?? Right? Please say yes? The issue is it's...

SakkuraFrames per second implies the same thing. No it doesn't. Frames per second in the context of games is pretty much always an average value, not a baseline minimum or a constant. There is no game on consoles today that runs at exactly 30 fps 100% of the time. When I was running through...

Movies may be shot at 24 fps, but they're played back in theaters at 48 or 72 hertz, with frames being displayed two or three times a piece depending on shutter action. The 24 fps number without context is misleading, which is why random derp fan from earlier this year is a dolt. It's also worth...

Karma's a bitch ain't it?

kinggremlinI don't know where you live. But here in America, the XBox 360 launched at $279, which is almost half of $500 by most peoples' math, and $320 less than the $600 PC estimate you gave. The 360 with the hard drive launched at $400, not $280. In fact, there was no North American version...

SolandriMax frequency humans can hear is about 22 kHz. Average for young people is about 18-20 kHz. In older people it drops to 12-16 kHz. Mine is at 12 kHz from damage due to working with high frequency sonars. This isn't at all like screen resolution, where you can move closer to the...

arcu86DOTA wouldn't exist it wasn't for Warcraft III's development tools thus, it is a offspring of blizzard's product, blizzard owns entitlement not to the title of "DOTA" but to the birth of it. DOTA has mechanics from warcraft III's hero and micro system, and game play mechanics. Blizzard...

JarmoSo, given you've all seen game screens already and pretty much knew beforehand what the game will look like... Some would prefer the game was less optimised and would require at least 460GTX to hit recommended 'cause that would better justify having spent $500 on a new GPU. Having no higher...

busuanThey should have let some good gamers make the game, not the programmers, regardless how skillful they might be. Programmers want to make a game "realistic" with ever more fancy codes and graphics that rely heavily on cutting-edge hardware, while not realizing (!) the intrinsic...

amk-aka-phantomThe new $240 BD loses to a $220 2500K, so it's your new shiny Ford that lost to a one-year old Ferrari which, suprisingly, cost the same back then. Beat me to it. Well done sir.
