For someone who grew up in Belfast through the 70's and 80's I have lost many friends to terrorists but 9/11 was something that shocked the world out of this belief in "Freedom fighters" and saw terrorists for what they are. Many people died in the twin towers that were not american so i think this tragedy unites many people, it was a very long 4 hours waiting to hear if my Aunt was ok (shes been living in Manhattan for many years) "To

I thought the PS3 would possibly sink Sony but after seeing the planned prices of the supposedly cheaper HD-DVD players the PS3 does look like a bargain (in the UK anyway) The PS3 is only like £50 dearer which is a steal for a cutting edge games console and HD player. If the PS3 was going to be a turkey wouldn't the Xbox 360 be selling better ? I'm sure the comment above has a context being that when all of Sonys new products arrive they will rev

Maybe I'm being naive but if you are worried about being stalked don't have a page online with personal details on it ..... I think this shows just how easily an online community can over-react to something that most users don't realy understand, I can remember being put off looking at my Deviantart accont for fear of seeing anymre yellow aliens or rants from people who don't understand how corporate law acually works.

Its very stable , im running photoshop cs2 + office 2003 works very well and although it does occasionally crash when i give it a bit of abuse it certainly seems to recover without the constant Ctrl/Alt/Delete im familar with in XP. Im impressed but he graphics drivers are annoying my steady 4.5 in my performance index is dropped to 1 as the 6600 (AGP) only scores 1 ? i thought that would be reserved for onboard graphics and the like !

I run an Athlon64 3000+ with 1 Gb ram and an overclocked vanilla 6600 and i have been enjoying Prey with all but the very highest settings enabled ,still alot of games it wont run well and i have to say one the most compelling reasons to upgrade to pciXpress is the ability to run SATA300 hard disks ! but I'm holding out to upgrade until UT2007 appears

The simple answer is that cheaper LCD TFTs dont have the ability to show any other res than the native one in your case 1280x1024 (5:4) when you run it at 1024x768(4:3) it stretches the 4:3 picture into a 5:4 causing distorsion. I run at 1280x1024 happily and its much finer detailed and sharper than 1024x768 if you dislike the smaller icons then just enable "Use large icons" (just under the clear type setting in display properties)and pick a larger font size for windows to use (in display proper

Sadly some people just won't listen. I am constantly trying to convince a friend to use Windowblinds but every time fl studio or soundforge crashes hes convinved it must be the skinning ! He turns off all Gdi and uses windows classic for speed but why don't we all watch analogue TV on 14" screens I ask ? it would be so much faster probably the same reason we don't still travel in horse drawn buggies, some people are eternally stuck in the stone age jus

I think it works very well for the most part it does seem slightly faster than the old version (the old version would just hang during USA internet prime time) Although annoyingly DeviantSkin has been broken now if the new coming version of Wincustomize.com has website wide skinning built in natively then I'll be visiting alot more often

The problem and proven fact is that the american government blocked the proposed .xxx domain name because of bible belt/right wing lobbing when in fact it would have been a good thing. Just block kids browsers from.xxx it would help spam filters the world over.That was an abuse of power. The internet was first set up between MIT and CERN (America and Europe) it was invented by an English man (the hyper text transport protocol) The american milita
