[HELP]Car accident

haduken — Fri, 30 Sep 2011 18:29:30 +0900

I just got back from a traffic accident and just want to hear people's thoughts on this. Driving along a main road in rush hour traffic, condition medium rain. As soon as I pass an intersection, I noticed a car at the front stopped but the rain certainly limited my reaction time. Anyway he didn't have any indicator on so I'm assuming that the car in front of him is turning into a side s...

[PICTURES] AMD BUILD

haduken — Sun, 20 Jun 2010 22:58:19 +0900

So yeah, I was reading FragKrag's new computer blog and I thought it would be good idea to share with TL my build as well. I guess this build is very much an impulse buy. I've had an Intel E8400 for a while, it's being great but I really needed a Chip that can do virtual machine well as I use Ubuntu/Linux most of the time but need to do some work on Windows as well and E8400 was a bit slow w...

So I have 30 days to find another key... great, $238 dollars and I have to deal with this shit. Then I tried t...

Tomorrow is the mid autumn festival! If you are Chinese (Or Asian that have this) then prepare for some moon watching and sit down with families and annoying relatives! Idea of the festival is that you and your kinsmen get together and basically just celebrate the fact that your family is intact blah blah and because the moon is suppose to be at its roundest and so it symbolize togethern...

32 bit Computing + 4 GB RAM?

haduken — Mon, 12 May 2008 21:44:06 +0900

This has being bugging me a lot and i need some definite answers and explanations from ppl like BILL, R1CH or headbugger. Ok, the problem is simple. 32 bit computers using Windows XP and Vista can not utilize full 4 GB of RAM. I understand that while you can get at least 3 GB of RAM and the rest can be used for devices, but answers from people are inconsistent. A general philosophy on w...
