Re: Comic for Thursday, March 18th, 2016
Last panel. All the other trees in the surrounding area are green, so that stuff definitely isn't a tree.. houses on weirdly drawn fire?

Re: Comic for Wednesday, March 2 2016
Okay, this whole 'young girl being a blind seeress with her eyes tied off' thing is just far too reminiscent of Fable: The Lost Chapters. I love the striking similarities

Re: Linux
Plenty of ways available to kill all of the spying crap, though. Personally, I like to use Linux for the things it's good at, Windows for the rest. I do think many people who use any form of Linux do it the same way. The official way is to buy the enterprise edition and disabling it using the group...

Re: What kind of Furry are you?
I am not a furry. I just like all sorts of art, especially if it comes with a good story!
Anthropomorphic art has a long history with mankind; the 'furry' fandom is something more recent though, in the way it exists now. Not interested at all in such activities, thank you very much.

Re: What made you smile today? Round 2!
Yes, you got all of the duds. snip Although I do get what you mean with some of them lasting unnaturally long. I think it has something to do with garages to be quite honest. We have a CFL in a back corner area of our garage that I'm pretty sure is older than myself. My grandmother has an incandesc...

Re: What made you smile today? Round 2!
I smiled today when one of the most renowned Dutch (automotive) car tuning shops allowed me to try out a new ECU (engine computer) for my MX-5. Not only was I highly satisfied by its performance and ease of use, but the lead engineer wanted to take my car for a quick spin after we did some baseline ...

Re: BIOS updates
Since my passion lies in cars, I'll try explaining it like this: You shouldn't consider CPU clock speed to be the top speed of a car, but the power it produces. As such, a theoretical 150 horsepower 1991 Mazda MX-5 will be a lot faster than a 175 horsepower 2006 Ford Fusion, simply because there are...

Re: BIOS updates
1: Clock speed says nothing because CPU designs vary immensely in instruction pipeline length, caches, instruction sets, number of physical and/or logical cores and other factors which greatly affect the actual I/O rate of the unit. 2: If you give your partitions custom names, you can safely install...

Re: BIOS updates
the HAL is directly tied to the Windows driver frameworks, so in a way you're correct in that it is related to drivers. It is however not the drivers themselves causing this, but the fact that you've made an 'illegal' modification to the system compared to when it was installed, which upsets the pro...

Re: Graphics card for my computer
750, not 750Ti. Also, haven't looked into it yet but is the 750Ti even available as a low-profile (and slot-powered only) card? Point still stands. Both the non-Ti 750 and the R9 250 cost relatively little and are decent enough to be considered a useful upgrade. EDIT: oh, right, as above. It doesn't...

Re: Graphics card for my computer
Given your PC model and installed CPU, you're most likely using your CPU's internal graphics processor, the Intel HD2500. It is simply abysmal. If you want roughly a 7x increase in raw graphics processing power at a decent enough price (given the fact that you have to get a low profile card) I'd rec...

Re: Copying drivers across machines
If it's the same exact type of Windows (for instance an edition of Windows 7, both 64-bit or both 32-bit) you can share the Windows driver store folder (%windir%\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository) as a public folder and then point your dysfunctional PC at the share on the other PC. This will most ...

Re: BIOS updates
First of all, what kind of problems are your Vista and 10 installs even experiencing? You'd have to have some kind of error for it to be attributable to any external cause. If it's an instant-reboot loop without any specific error code: that's something which is usually caused by a HAL breach, meani...
