Re: Favorite Video Game Generation?

Definitely the current generation. Online gaming kicks so much arse. I think that every generation had its fair share of fun games, but gaming today is awesome. How often could you play a two player campaign with a friend who lives across the nation before this generation?

The Nintendo 64 does ...

Re: Upgrading to SP1 with Boot Camp

Use nLite to slipstream your XP install disc with SP2. Then try reinstalling XP using your new disc.

nLite wikipedia entry

I couldn't find the link to nLite, but it shouldn't be too difficult to find the download on the interwebz.

It's freeware btw.

Re: Dremel Speed Problem

It sounds like you ripped the rubber sleeve that couples the motor to the shaft on the drill. It usually happens if you try to cut through something thick at a really high speed.

It happened to my dremel when one of my friends borrowed it and managed to break it. You could open yours up to see if ...

Re: how can I play consoles on a computer monitor

If you are going to be using your original xbox, then definitely go with Xbox VGA adapter cable that bic suggested. You will be really disappointed with yourself if you shell out $30 bucks for a composite to vga converter box. The quality won't be near as good as the straight VGA from the xbox.

Choosing PCM circuits for Li-ion pack

I have eight 3.7V Li-ion cells that I pulled from a 14.8V 3800mAh battery pack. They are good cylindrical cells and I was thinking about making two seperate 7.4V 3800mAh packs for portables and what not. I was planning on using a simple PCM from batteryspace.com and was hoping I could use it in the ...

Re: Building a Media Center PC

Ok. I want to build a MC pc for watching movies/listening to music.

Oh, ok. Why bother? Just get a huge spindle of DVDs and a DVD player. If you're not going to use it for anything other than that, you need not bother.

That doesn't solve the problem. He still wants to listen to music, and ...

Re: SAT scores

I haven't taken mine yet, but I hope I do well. I did decent on the PSAT (like a 200) but my Reading sucks compared to my Math and Writing scores. I always end up getting like 10 points less on Reading. Like I got 70s Math and Writing, but a 60 on Reading. Makes me rage! Darn vocabulary questions ...
