Evening Reading
by Steve Gibson, Nov 28, 2004 6:47pm PSTWell NBA2K5 just ended up being a little too easy which is shocking, not sure what I am doing but even at the highest skill levels I'm just blowing out scores against the computer. I cant recall the last time I ran into a sports game where something like that happened. Fruity.
Lastly, apparently a couple criticisms of a game means I hate it! Dont forget kids.. you must love or hate everything with a passion. There is no middle ground. Ever.- 12yr old smart dude making music. - Global warming.. we're all gonna die. :( - Nerdy hydrogen breakthrough and more - The latest space fun - People still freaking out over TiVo plans - VHS finally dying

My mom wants a printer that can print out digital photos and do a decent job. One that you can plug the camera right into, or put a cf card into would prolly be good since they dont know much about image editing.
I HATE lexmark because their drivers are absolute shit, and thats what we currently have. I will never buy another one.

i just got a canon a75, and with it i purchased 4 panasonic 2300mah ni-mh batteries..
theyre dying pretty quick (i think i got maybe 50 pics out of this charge, with lcd and no flash) .. but this is only their second full charge..
anyhow, someone recommended 'monster' ni-mh batteries to me .. supposedly they last a lot longer.
theyre only rated for 2000mah though. so my question is, wouldnt the mah rating be the only real indicator of power? they all output 1.5v, so wouldnt 2300mah batteries last longer than 2000mah, regardless of manufacturing and such?

I just switched computers at work, and Photoshop is saying that I can't activate it b/c I've registered it on too many computers. If I uninstall it from my old computer, will this do the trick, or is there something else I need to do (or am I screwed)?

Playing around on local server here we messed with low grav and found something interesting.
If the map is loaded with low_gravity on. Everything is low grav guns/physics barrels etc..
Once the server is set in low grav and someone with rcon changes it back to default gravity (800) everything goes back to normal EXCEPT physics/guns/barrles. Anything in the world will continue to be low gravity.
SO what you get are MATRIX type deaths. Slow motion evertime you die and you are stationary in the air for a lil bit.

I got 3 questions for you guys, maybe you can help me out 'ere:
1. For my nForce3 mobo i can install the Realtek or the nVidia SS drivers. Wich one is the best performancewise? Got the nVidia audio codec installed right now because the nvMixer is cooo'.
2. I benched my Raptor with siSandra 2005. All values are fine (97mb/sec!), except the responstime is 18ms... dunno if the benchsoftware measures something else, but this seems far off from the specs. Can the nVidia IDE driver be the cause of this?
3. Everytime i fire up a game, the system freezes (ingame or menu) for a sec or 2. After that eveything runs silky smooth. How do i fix this?
So far, my AMD experience is ok. The nVidia chipset does indeed make all my past VIA-nightmares go away.
Thanks in advance.
