    Shameless plug for a class project

    Hey all, I'm not 100% sure this is allowed but I have a class on infectious media this semester and I'm tasked with creating some sort of "meme cycle" whereby I essentially aim at getting, in my case a video, to go semi-viral. This is looking highly improbable for various reasons but I'd...

    Promoting a Video (for a class)

    So I'm in this class dubbed "Infectious Media" where we're tasked with essentially trying to make a meme of some form go viral. I don't expect this will happen but I have a youtube video that I'm to use for this purpose and I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions on how I could promote...

    Checking in after a 3+ year hiatus

    Glad to see that the fine establishment that is HWFs looking healthy and welcoming after all these years. I won't even pretend to have a valid excuse for my abandonment but lets just say that college has its grips on me. Anyway just thought I'd give a shout out to everyone, feel free to give...

    Suggestions on surround sound for ps2.

    Hey all, from what I gather I'm really missing out on a good bit of immersion when it comes to my PS2 games. I'm still just chugging along with my standard tv based speakers and am looking into picking up a reasonably priced set of 5.1 speakers. It's pretty obvious that the Logitech X-530's...

    Remedial connection question...

    Hey guys, I have a really n00bish question that's kind of been bugging me for a while. It's embarrasing that I don't know but I've always been pretty clueless about networking and connectivity anyway. So say you have a looser connection like me. I've got a 56k modem, I connect at 48k or so, I...

    iTunes dies...

    Something odd happened today that I remember happpening a long while back. The last time I reinstalled the program and all was well but it's a pain and I don't want to have to import all those songs again. What happened was today I popped in a burned audio cd and imported. Apparently from...

    Internet radio on dialup?

    Hey guys, just a quick question. We all know my bandwidth situation here and I'm in the mood for a bit of radio here, but stuff like Pandora and and even lower quality WMP radio stuff pauses a ton and needs to buffer a lot. Is there any truely dialup friendly radio sites or programs out there...

    What a difference a few tweaks can make.

    I know I told you guys about how I fumbled around and managed to overclock my video card and Processor (see "my computer") and I decided to unlock the pipelines and vertex shader in my card to get a full 16/6 in hopes of getting better performance in addition to getting my video drivers updated...

    Software setback, driver woes, and other computer trials.

    I don't expect anyone to really enjoy reading this or even get much out of it but I just felt like sharing a few (lengthy as always) experiences I had with my friends computer this weekend. He calls me up and says he found out that he needed service pack 2...after he actually had someone go to...

    People's impressions on the PS3

    I'll assume none of this forum decided to wait in line a week in advance or splurge on Ebay to nab a unit so I'll just ask this: has anyone actually seen a PS3 in action somewhere? Even if not what are peoples thoughts on the console as a whole and perhaps it's future. I'm personally somewhat...

    Good free Spyware program?

    Does anyone know of any quality spyware prevention/cleaning programs out there that are free? Idealy ones that you use. I just downloaded spybot's latest version of it's critically acclaimed spyware program (the sucessor to Spybot Search and Destroy) only to find out that I needed to register...

    The British Connection...

    Being an uninformed American I'm a little lost with helping search for relivant hardware for the European crowd. There have been countless times that I've suggested newegg products to people unable to purchase them. Pricing is also a tough factor for me as we have people from numerous...

    A brief nVidia update...

    I was just pawing around the net and came across a few updates that concern nVidia fans. For one the 7950GT has been released. It's a stong high end card and basically mimicks the 7900GTX except it's only about $300 off newegg. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814130061...

    What's the point of mail-in-rebates?

    This may be a dumb statement but I really don't see the use in them. Perhaps this is because I don't understand why they're even used. I mean isnt' it easier to just make it an instant rebate? No hassle, the price is as it appears and no company has to ship you money back. With the mail in...

    Really cheap 7600GS on Newegg

    I was really shocked to see this card so cheap. It's a steal before rebates and crazily cheap after. Granted it's obviously not going to be maxing Oblivion or anything but for the price it's a great midrange card. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814143054

    Various TV/Digital service questions.

    Hey guys, this is probably going to be a very convoluted and confusing thread I'm afraid. My friend (the same one I built the computer for) called me up a bit ago and asked a bunch of stuff about digital services, sharing services, setup boxes etc. But this really isn't my field and I'm...

    Concidering GFX upgrade...

    Hey all, this is pretty unlikely concidering my parents feelings toward me spending money on hardware for gaming mostly but I'm curious just the same. I've fallen a bit behind in times when it comes to AGP midrange performance. I don't really want to blow a lot of cash. I'm good enough on the...

    X800GTO $70 after rebate...

    http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814241021 Quite the deal really, that's a lot of card for $70, granted it is a mail in rebate but you can then put that $50 to a new game or something. Can't really beat it for the price, 256-bit, 256MB DDR2, not too shabby.
