    Any handgun owners? Help, I gotta pick one...

    It's a Glock 18. Hard to find in the US. Shoots 9mm and is the same size as the Glock 17. Full auto capability with a selector switch on the left side of the slide. It takes Glock 17 magazines, but the slide on a G18 will not fit on a G17 receiver. Naturally, it's covered under the National...

    Need for Speed2 Xbox A Sloppy Excuse

    Okay, I'm impatient. I went and bought the PC version. I've been playing it for a few days (maybe a week) and I can say this: WOOOHAA!!! I will say this: the replay system sucks, and it apparently is just like the XBox version is reported to be. Hopefully, it will be fixed with a patch (hey...

    Need for Speed2 Xbox A Sloppy Excuse

    Okay, I must be in the minority here since I don't own an XBox or PS2. I'm a PC gamer and I loved NFS3:HP when it came out. However, after upgrading to Win2k, I have not been able to get the old version to run on my system. So I'm debating getting the sequel for my computer. Has anyone picked...

    Question to Nero users

    You guys may want to make sure that you have disabled Nero's song & CD databases. It may be trying to look up the song & artist information.

    How to determine if someone is using my connection.

    My wireless router has a couple features to prevent this. The first is the 128 bit encryption key. The second is a MAC-level access control. The third is that it lists the MAC address of every card that has ever successfully accessed the system. If I were you... I would change my encryption...

    Here goes sono.....

    Tommy, I can't help with all of your questions, but one I can definitely answer: The 250 watt plate amp works very well with the Shiva. I have just such a set up myself.

    Help! Anyone have a Sidewinder ForceFeedback 2?

    I have a Microsoft Sidewinder Force Feedback 2 joystick. Nice joystick. Happy joystick. However, I just rebuilt my system and I can't find the software CD. The download from Microsoft's website doesn't install at all and I can't get it to work without the software. Does anyone out there...

    Mafia is AMAZING!

    On the basis of this thread, I went out and bought the game. THANKS, GUYS!! Damn, I love this game! I finally finished everything. I don't know what your tactics were for the final shootout, but this is what I did: On the final one-on-one battle, I would run around the corner of the...

    Hardest /Most Frustrating Task to Accomplish In Video Games?

    Gaaah... I suck, so there are so many to list. The car race in Mafiaj. That took forever to win on those slippery tires... Likewise the restaurant shootout. The final dude in Crusader:No Remorse. I think I took the easy way out and let him die on the station when it self-destructed. The...

    Bell Labs Scientist Accused Of Fraud

    It occasionally happens, although I'm surprised it occurs in a field where it is easy to replicate the data. Anyone remember Michael Bellesiles? The Emory University professor who falsified his research on colonial gun culture? He's currently taking a semester off while Emory investigates his...

    Cat Lovers Please Help

    I've grown up with cats and I recently had the joy of being owned by a little bundle of joy, named "Five". First, Five is about 12 weeks old and the latest game is the ongoing tactic and counter-tactic of How Do I Get Out Today? At the moment, I'm winning because he hasn't learned from the...

    Setting up a network for Xbox Live...a little help?

    Evan, It has been my experience that the cable modem will pay attention to the Ethernet jack or the USB port, but not both. Switching from one to the other required unplugging the cable modem and letting it think for a second with one or the other installed. I would go with the router...

    Microsoft Is Teh Funy

    I can't believe some of you actually think that Microsoft sent out such a thing... It's two guys with a laser printer and a label maker, for nog's sake!

    OpenGL subsystem error

    Shawn, I just saw a Radeon 8500 for $99 linked on the [H]ard OCP site. I have one of these and it looooooves Jedi Knight II.

    Any handgun owners? Help, I gotta pick one...

    I'm sorry Roland, I made the stereotypical Amercian assumption and assumed that you were in the USA. My apologies. In your case, I would have no reservations about getting a Walther. Glocks, Sigs, Beretta, Walther, H&K, Steyr... these are all good brands. Several analogies to Home Theater...

    Any handgun owners? Help, I gotta pick one...

    [Btw. has anybody any thoughts on the WALTER P-99?] Several. Which ones do you want? :) I've shot one a few times and it has a lot going for it. The decocker on the top of the frame is pretty nifty. It points very well and the adjustable grip is a definite plus. It's not overly large, so if...

    Any handgun owners? Help, I gotta pick one...

    Phillip - Not at all. I have an ex-GF with a Browning HP and she loves it. I can't shoot with her too often or I'll start getting the bug to buy one, too. Danny R - To add another opinion to the mix on which gun to get... the problem is that there are no easy answers. It's like asking what...

    Any handgun owners? Help, I gotta pick one...

    [The others are an older model Smith and wesson 357 revolver, a skeet shotgun, a 22 rifle, and another deer rifle 3-hundred something model (I think). I'm not interested in the shotgun or rifles though.] It seems as if you have a problem. If you're not interested in the rifles and shotgun, and...

    IR via Remote to HTPC

    I use a device called the IRman to receive signals from my Pronto sent to my MP3 jukebox (laptop). Signals from the Pronto go to the IRMan, which in turn activates WinAmp to play MP3s through my HT. It works, more or less. The computer is pretty slow and taxed relatively hard by the various bits...
