Apparently Phil Foglio reads the SH and is a fan of Luna... Well, just read the first panel anyway. What's New with Phil & Dixie Online Comics

There was barely funding to get a somewhat updated Apollo capsule up to the ISS. There was never any budget for Ares to accomplish the goals of going to the moon or mars. There was never any funding for actually doing anything other than a few vague design studies. There was NEVER anything...

Not really a big surprise. Ares was taking a long time, underperforming and was a step backwards while being horribly expensive. Anyone who thought that W's "space" program was going to be going any further than H's, I'm sure would be interested in some federally protected wetlands I have for...

But why are the actors all asian? That's not how it was in the anime? ;)

Demon Souls is a cooperative RPG, though it's extremely hard by all accounts. Very unique approach to things though, people tend to love it or hate it.

You might want to try booting up in safe mode with networking. Since that uses a minimal set of drivers, it should help you isolate if it's a driver issue or not.

Getting the SLI graphics cards has nothing to do with if the MB is SLI/Crossfire (the ATI version) capable. That's purely a function of the MB. Pretty much any MB used in a gaming system is going to be capable of at least one, though not necessarily both. Getting an SLI/Crossfire capable MB is...

The PS3 uses a standard 2.5" (notebook) SATA HD. So if you really need more space, you can just buy one. Put it in an external USB case and the PS3 can backup it's self up to the external HD. Then swap the drives (a fairly simple operation) and SHAZAM you've got a much larger HD. So I'd just get...

Yes the OEM is either or, not both. However at this point in time, unless you have some specific reason for doing so, there is no good reason not to go with the 64 bit version. The OEM version vs Full Retail, is also tied to the hardware on the first machine you installed it on. Where as the...

Just because there is a newer version of DX, does not mean that a game will use it. There are lots of cards that don't support even DX10 out there, never mind DX11. So Batman is probably just using DX9. It generally takes a couple of years for a new version of DX to become widely supported, as...

Another vote here for Glen Cook's Garret books. Terrific books. There's Diskworld of course. David Webber's "Blahzell" series is terrific for the first two books ("Oath of Swords" and "War God's Own"), third one is merely okay.

You can also get the OEM version of windows home premium for about $105 (on newegg) which is about $80 less than the "full" retail version. There's no difference, it's just supposed to be sold to be people who are building a computer, but there's nothing in there that checks this or prevents you...

If it's an IDE drive, I definitely wouldn't bother. I haven't seen any situations where I needed multiple disks in at a time in years. The stutter could just have been the result of a limitation in the game engine and nothing to do with your hardware. Direct X 11 is actually the "latest"...

I'd agree. It's not quite so wuxia in most of the original story arc, but when you get to the "Last Order" portion of things, it become almost pure Wuxia. Parts of Vampire Hunter D might qualify as well. Since a lot of the characters tend to have specific fighting styles/powers, that may fit...

Of course if there's that many ships, they may be on the loosing end of some war and fleeing for their lives. They might need a new home. Which would give them a motivation to make it a "soft" take over, rather than provoke a MAD response from humanity.

Yes, but it's only about 15 meters. So it's easier to fit in, if you use metric.

The FN P90 that they primarily use in SG1, is designed as a personal defense weapon. Something that is designed to be very easy to use and controllable in autofire (with good armor penetration), for support personnel and other non-frontline troops. Plus, you gotta figure with all the times he's...

What do you mean by "ideal"? For what purposes do you want the computer? How much money do you want to spend? If you mean gaming. Most reasonable "gaming" video cards paired with a decent processor and sufficient ram will do 1080p resolutions. If you mean play back videos, pretty much any...

The faster i7 chips are considerably more expensive for little more gain. The i7 920s are generally excellent overclockers, if you wish to give that a try. Though one feature of the i7 chips is basically a dynamic overclocking feature (turbo something or other), where it will crank up the...

The core i7 (socket 1366) and the newer core i5/i7 (socket 1156) are so much superior to the core 2s, that it doesn't make sense to go with something lesser in a reasonably expensive gaming machine. They finally replace the biggest bottleneck on the intel systems, the front side bus, with what...
