So, my motherboard died, and I just got a new one... I'm trying to boot up my old windows installation, but I can't get the new SATA drivers installed without being in windows...and windows definitely can't boot from a sata drive without drivers. Am I gonna have to temporarily install windows on another partition to salvage the data on my SATA drive?

just wanted to announce that IE7 can lick my fucking balls

I installed IE7 yesterday around 10:30am. Looked cool, no problems. Around 3:30pm I noticed that a lot of the code in one of our work apps that automated IE via its COM interface stopped working.

oh, must be ie7, let me just uninstall...

It uninstalled but left IE6 in a non-functioning state. IE6 would do nothing but hang. So I tried to reinstall IE6, totally fucked my XP install. Couldn't even get to the login screen. So today after waiting 4 hours for help desk to assign my ticket to a PC support person, I get my disk reimaged and now I get to install everything on a friday night.

That was fun!

Got a small problem with mah intranets, if anyone has any idea what it may be after reading the follow description... let me know... I'm dying here.

Okay, so... I have sprint DSL, And it's okay for gaming/surfing most of the time, how ever... I've been having some ridiculous problems recently that sprint seems to deny completely(call up tech support while its happening, they deny anything is going wrong, etc). Well, for instance... Right now i'm trying to update WoW, And it's update utility uses Bittorent, And (as with every other time i attempt to use bittorent)

As soon as it starts, or as soon as i start the bittorent program(I use Utorrent), my local area connection icon in the system tray goes nuts, saying a network cable has been disconnected, then reconneced, then disconnected, etc about 5 or 6 times, then after about 2 minuites, it works again... and 30 or 40 seconds later, it does it again, Until i shut off the program(Blizzard update utility in this case).

Well, yeah. thats my problem.. if anyone has any ideas or solutions... lemme know, I'm all ears. And eyes.

Supreme Commander}b Impressions!

I finally got the go-ahead from the bigwigs at GPG. There really is no NDA on this version of beta, and so I can share completely awesomeness with you guys!

I only took screenies of a single game that didn't last that long, so you'll have to figure out other stuff later (higher end units, etc).

Anyway, in reply:

World of Warcraft Menz

We figured we'd make one more post about this, since the response has been good and I've gotten more than enough ShackMessages about it.

As you may or may not know, Visceral Monkey had the idea to return to WoW for the BC release and play in a more casual form. We didn't want queues, we wanted PVE. We were also looking for casual play, no focus on raiding or anything; just having fun the whole way and enjoying what the game has to offer. A lot of us discussed it and agreed with Visc, and decided on the Echo Isles PVE server (which is about 2 weeks old and growing well), Alliance side (Since most of us had only leveled Horde chars).

We formed the guild Tofu Pirate Monkey Squad that same day (http://www.flickr.com/photos/shinikaru/273589586/), and since then, droves of Shackers have piled in and joined up. Last I checked, our member count was 33 (and this is only after 3 days now). We've all been out adventuring and having fun; so that's all we can offer you, casual fun!

If the guys in the guild have something else to add, just reply here. We hope to see a few more of you, as this is already turning out to be a blast. You can ask any current member for access (easiest way it to do a /join shacknews, anyone in there should be able to invite). I'll probably be on my Warlock, Tehlias, so drop me a tell if you can't get in.

So conoles are becoming more PC-like. The ps3 can load games onto the harddrive for faster load times.
The PC is becoming more console-like. In Vista some games will run completely from the DVD.

Where is this headed? Is there some sort of convergence coming in say 7-10 years or will there always be this 2 system setup (console and PC) required for a true gamer (if they want to enjoy the best games).

And also it looks like more and more games are coming out for all systems (including the PC in some cases). Will it get to a point to where you don't need different consoles and a PC? If you want to game you just pick your brand (like how you pick a TV now) and know that you can play all games?

CATALYST HALP

I just updated to the 6.9 cats on my X1900XT (did a thorough drive cleaning before-hand) and when I select 1280x960 (which worked with all other drivers) it's forced to 1280x1024. The display settings panel even shows 1280x960, but my monitor says 1280x1024.

I wouldn't mind so much if my monitor did higher than 60hz at that resolution, but it doesn't.

I've also tried ATI Tray Tool, and the same thing happens. Is there any way to actually force it to use 1280x960 like I tell it to?

Thanks in advance!

Myself and drekstar went to see The Prestige tonight.

It was good.

I didn't catch the 'big surprise' before they revealed it at the end, so I was kinda mystified throughout the whole movie. But it definitely felt like a lot of the details and subtleties were intended. For those of you who have seen it, I refer to The prestige, and the secret behind the act. Once everyone knows the secret they don't care. It seems almost too simple; obvious. The fact that Borton was actually two men, twins. But the machine Tesla made for Angier... that was... weird. Nolan's big joke, I think. Something mysterious, to make us wonder. :)

Christopher Nolan is, of course, the man. He's like what M. Night Shymalan tries to be.

Proof that consoles are just turning into closed PC systems:

Genji for the PS3 will include an option to install itsell on the hard drive that will take about 3 minutes, taking up 4GB, that will reduce load times from 15 to 4 seconds.

was gonna watch the prestige but we showed up 10 min before the last showing and there was a line 10x longer than usual. all the high school kids decided to come out today to see a movie i guess. so we rented memento instead. the gf's never seen it, and i had watched it when it first came out and forgotten the ending...irony. so i decided to watch it again for $3. pretty good. got my nolan fix until i see the prestige.

although you have to wonder...what are the chances 2 movies like the illusionist and the prestige, both come out within months of each other, both have 2 word titles starting with "the', both about dark magic, and both set in similar time periods.

Hey Guys! Who wants to help out on a private joke?

Short story: Im a gamer. I always rant about how cool a steampunk game of zeppelins and trains shooting each other would be. So my friends started teasing me saying that they would write such a game. This has been escalating, and now they have registered www.kwbtgame.com

This website has a forum. I think they would get really weirded out if a bunch of people registered on said forum. Tossing around random "This is gonna be the best game ever!" posts would be cool, but please, if you like private jokes, take a second to register a name.

lol, this is hilarious. They're showing footage of red foxes on TV right now leaping into the air and diving headfirst into snowbanks to catch mice. You see like 3/4 of their bodies just disappear into the snow before they come back up with their catch. Nature has really come up with some odd ways of hunting.

When you run the CS:Source test to see your fps, and you see that your proc is maxed out, does this mean that:

1) Your proc is REALLY maxed out, and getting a better one would help? Or is it just the way the threads are read by the task manager (like when the sleep process takes up 100%)

2) Can you bump up the graphics for "free" since it is not the bottleneck?

thanks :(
