If EA went bankrupt tomorrow due to piracy who would really care? Todays games are so sucky they arent even worth their inflated price. Seriously, can you do anything besides troll? EA has brought us a few good games, and a whole lot of crappy ones. That's generally accepted. Today's games are tomo...

OK, maybe my view of piracy is a bit different because I am a software developer. And the company I work for sells a product that is well over the "outrageous" price of $1300 for Final Cut Pro. There is something magical about this age of digital media, and it's a two-edged sword. It makes it REALLY...

Obviously taking a program (including game) which you did not buy, which the creator charges (or charged for), and using it is "wrong," and if you can't see that you're hopeless. You can't have something that you did not obtain legally - if that's beyond your grasp then your momma raised you wrong. ...

Sorry, have to interject here.... Why would anyone suggest that buying used games for a system out of production is better than d-loading and burning ? Because that's illegal? By downloading and burning, that pretty much confirms that you're not making a "backup copy." There's not fair use in this c...

Indeed, the disk itself isn't the issue - it's the license. As long as it's got the sticker you should be ok as long as you use that license's activation code. Of course make sure you're getting a good disk. It sucks when you download a whole torrent of a Windows disk and all you get is a rip of "Am...

Powerstrip isn't very well documented. You have to do a little searching to figure out how to get past the color correction stuff into the more useful resolution modifying goodness. Also, it doesn't support all video cards, so that might be limiting you as well. I know of HTPC people who use this al...

1. Not likely covered by warranty. Basically almost never unless it is a manufactured flaw. 2. It shouldn't be that bad to replace. Can you move the screen over? YES! Look up a utility called "Powerstrip". 3. LCDs breakage is generally never covered by any warranty. And this is a bit unethical, no? ...

When my fingers get cold when gaming I put a warm towel or blanket over my hands. As in, my hands are holding the controller normally, but there's a cover over everything. Another trick I use is to put a pillow (bed or throw) on my lap and rest my hands on top of it. Not only is it comfortable, but ...
