There's nothing wrong with it. In fact, it's miles better than any console. An I5/I7 paired with a midrange graphics card blows them out of the water. The problem isn't the hardware, it's the software writers who write for consoles and then port that back to PCs... Case in point, Skyrim, which has about the most awful interface ever inflcited on the keyboard & mouse using public ever. More first-person shooters that all look the same. No innovation any more. No, the problem is the game companies and their crap.

This is an example of one joke calling another one a joke. John McAfee has just about doomed the company he founded and sold, in just a short time with his crazy drug-addled antics. Meanwhile, Anonymous may be popular with a few hackers and the Slashdot crowd, but they're a bunch of collectivists who get no sympathy from the general public, the internet equivalent of gangbangers with spray paint cans.

My Asus P8H67M-Pro is the first UEFI board I've ever had. It's run every distro I ever threw at it; SUSE, Mint, Debian, etc. You may need to disable AHCI and ACPI during install.

I ran OS/2 Warp in 4MB! Now get off my lawn.

Metro is clearly a bunch of shit. *Everyone* I know who's tried it says so. I don't know a single business that plans to upgrade to it. W8 may have improvements under the hood that make it superior to 7, but Metro is a regression, plain and simple.

Good luck with that. Don't forget to turn out the lights before the building gets reposessed.

Not a scientific sim, but it does accurately describe the hardware used to get to the Moon during the space race. http://www.raceintospace.org/

I'm still bummed Archie McPhee's out of Bibo clocks!

My parrot Bud has handled the steering wheel a few times and caused no crashes.... yet.

Give me a list then, of all the IT people in North Korea, or Cuba, or (name the communist country) who are rich from their skills.

Absolutely! I'd give a nut to have full-time work in IT making even $20/hr. I've been in the field since the mid-90s and can't find anything but temporary contract jobs, and those are few and far between.

I thought the same thing as I read this. *Another* first-person shooter. Yawn.

Slashdot covered the whole torrid Hans Reiser affair too. I think it's important.

I guess this is what happens when the Devil gets in bed with the Devil. They're both evil & deserve to die.

Not on the 330 Series; those are three-year. When I bought a 520 recently I did a lot of studying first. From what I gather the 520 and the 330 are hardware-identical, but the 520's chips are "binned" as being more reliable, hence the longer warranty. I highly recommend the 520s. Mine's been flawless so far (admittedly only about 6 weeks). I just ordered a new UPS a few minutes ago; they're pretty much needed if you're running and SSD, and advisable even if you aren't.
