PC memory has configuration information included on the module. DIMMs have a serial EEPROM, SIMMs have soldered jumpers. That information is lacking when soldering new chips on a video card. . Well, then show me where it is stored and how this stick is different from raw chips: http://www.plex.gr/ …

Those bikes are awesome! Just look at the Sears frame! Here's mine at the start of 300km Audax brevet. That was the ride when I finally accepted that I need a road bike :D https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/99196890/Photo/krCI3RWlH1E.jpg And here's me on 250th kilometer. 100 of them the wind blew …

Nice laptops! How do you like Libretto's joystick? I've been trying to upgrade my 70CT with a 8GB CF card too, no luck so far 🙁 How did you manage to do that?

And how the heck is Win10 going to determine the pirated games? What if Win10 falsely reports legitimate games as pirated? My assumption would be some certificate scheme, where gamedevs would have to buy a permission from Microsoft to run their stuff on Windows 10. So that every now and then it …

Dear forum members who don't approve piracy, please, do not read the next line. What's the point of asking? Download it while you can, grab whatever you find interesting and save it for the future. It might not be available for long.

The S3 version is not very impressive. I actually prefer the Rendition version for this game as it has the original cockpit (which the 3dfx version is missing) and much better framerate than the S3 version. I believe the unofficial 3dfx version can run up to 800x600, also it should be able to …

Tinkering with my bike and long-distance cycling. I've got a rather budget model, GT Aggressor 1.0 2011. This year I adapted it further for long-distance: replaced default flat bar with a butterfly bar, moved to contact pedals, reversed stem and bought an additional set of tyres. Now I have 2.1" …

An optical mouse for COM interface: HI-BON Laser Mouse (NIB)! That is terribly cool. Does it work well? Is it noticeably different from a ball mouse and/or a modern laser? Noticeably different from both! It is very accurate and smooth. Unlike ball mice, it has zero moving resistance and little to …
