You definitely don't need to install Zune software, that's for sure. Windows Media Player does the job the same.

gcninja: Well, he's sure clueless about technology AND history. Rotary phones didn't last precisely long either. The world has been changing at a rapid pace for several hundred years. If I had to take a stab at when this started, I'd probably point at Johannes Gutenberg. I made it 3 minutes in, and ...

I'm planning to not have sex. I'm both planning ahead and planning to fail. What now?

Did you keep the Rick Astley tape for a prop?

Because let's face it, it'd fit into a thousand sketches during this internet age, where Rick Astley is suddenly the most respected musician of all time.

Oh, that's normal. These episodes were shot six months ago.

Nothing new much happens in gaming, so it's easy to predict what will happen and write accordingly.

Taza; Yes, of course the fact that we're on the internet makes our advice worthless, and clearly we aren't real people. We totally don't know one another and have never met, and you're really funny and smart. I'm glad we're on the same page; talking to people to clarify their intentions is clearly ...

Lying, you should listen to these absolutely perfect people and substitute wild guesses by strangers for actual communication.

An aberration? To look at history, nuclear weapons are merely a continuation of a trend, and the fact that they haven't been used is the aberration.

Maybe "abomination" would fit your intended meaning better?

Also, the chances of said bombs exploding is... remote at best. In fact, I'd take a guess that a natural nuclear bomb forming and exploding is more likely than those things exploding. MAKING them go boom in the first place is a tricky process, and a hard hit or a lightning strike isn't anywhere clos...

The new iPad... doesn't really interest me. But the larger resolution screen is welcome. I can use that kind of resolution, in web browsing if nothing else. My problem with Retina on my iPhone 4S is it's resolution isn't quite high enough. Also, Apple will NEVER EVER allow running apps from a SD car...

Not enough funny for me, I'm afraid.

I feel like the core joke wasn't quite carrying the entire video.

Feh, liquid cooling. Way too much effort for the benefit. My rules are simple: Buy quality hardware. Buy faster rather than overclocking. Have fans at the front pushing in with a filter, have fans at the back pushing out. Make sure the air has a clear path inside the case, and have heatsinks clip th...

You see the problem there is that is all personal opinion, this is what I was saying about a lack of consensus, that is what you have personally found to work but google around and you will find a lot of dissent, even among professional system builders. You see the problem is that the field is an a...

Removing the side panel *will* reduce temps, unless you run a lot of fans pushing some pretty ridiculous CFM the side panel coming off will increase the amount of fresh air getting to your components. Graphics cards in particular work better with no side panel, even if your case has a fan on the si...

Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't know. The great physics update of 2010 revised the rules for building an effective cooling system.

I doubt it's the vodka at those amounts actually. Or maybe I'm just an absurdly heavy drinker.

Having the side of your PC open generally worsens airflow pretty badly. The proper way is to have a fan blowing in at the front and out at the back, having a filter at the front to catch dust. That way, you get a flow of clean air through the case. The reason it's from front to back is because the P...

That's funny, I've had no such problems. Nor my large army of acquaintances who use Nvidia drivers. Hit download, got new drivers, works smoothly, Skyrim runs better than ever. The uninstallable part is true though - and it's true for every graphics driver ever unless you know how to properly uninst...

You may want to pay more attention. Or use Google.

If UAC asks more than once, you probably have set it up wrong.

UAC is pretty awesome. Keeps idiots from making mistakes.

Also, yeah, you probably had one of the accessibility features on. I turn off the autotoggle (Control Panel > Accessibility) as soon as I install an OS.

Just so you know, it's called a "PC Speaker".

I remember something like this... but I've been awake for far too long, thus cannot really recall what the cause was. Sorry.

A bit of fluctuation is completely normal and it tends to make daily weighing useless for tracking progress. Weight ain't a video game. You need data for two months to have a reliable trend going. I've gained ten pounds in the past few weeks - but overall, I'm down nearly sixty. And hopefully that p...

I like to pair black clothing with black clothing. If I don't look like a cut-out void in the fabric of space, something's wrong. If you're dressing aiming to overdress, looking like you're supposed to be at a funeral is not a bad thing. I recommend either dry wit or a very deadpan delivery of The A...

They won't evolve, learn moves properly, they need to be EV trained first, they gain a level at a time... in general, it's a lot of work, and it only takes a bit more work to make them perfect on the game's side without ever touching the Pokewalker. The Pokewalker is useless for training Pokemon, bu...
