    Asus ESC 1000 Powered By 960 Nvidia Cores

    Good grief, This supercomputer has a different purpose than gaming. And you can bet your life on the fact that it is also many times more effective at it's job than a commercial home computer could be at this point in time.

    Finland First to Make Broadband a Legal Right

    My gosh. Really... I live in Estonia, right across the pond from Finland. And to say that they are lazy communist or socialist bums who don't work and only drink is a rather grave insult. Especially coming from so many people who have most likely not even seen a country outside of the US. No...

    Chinese Scientists Claim to Have UFO Footage

    Regardless of what most of you might believe, it is a UFO until it is identified. Also whether it is or is not "alien" matters not, since UFO literally stands for Unidentified Flying Object even a banana thrown at you is a UFO until you successfully identify it as a banana.

    QOTD: What Do You Do With Your Old PCs?

    My old hardware always finds a new home in my circle of friends and family. Since my requirements for hardware lie a lot steeper than those of my relatives and some of my friends, they are more than happy to get their upgrades for free when I upgrade.

    Xbox 360 Piracy Continues with Fable 2, Gears 2

    Fair enough, however the fact that Blizzard has control over their product makes sense to me and does not make me feel restricted in any way... and to be quite frank I'm happy for the policies blizzard has in place as all those goldfarmers, botters and such have no place in online gaming in my...
