Some hardware might be failing. Have you taken the time to look into the error codes it gives you? I would also guess that it is trying to use a power saving feature which may not be supported by your computer, as another commenter pointed

I think those days ended a long time ago. When did computers become mainstream? the 90's? 80s? Gone are also the days of grunge and being able to perform your own car maintenance. Also gone are the days of subsistence farming. oh well. Adap

I'm kinda old fashioned for my age, but I thought the end of the video where humanity was coerced into cleaning up its act was the scariest part. I disagree with his definition of 'cleaning up its act.' It sounds like he equates 'cleaning

My 1.4ghz Celeron M gets 29fps in both iceweasel and Chrome in debian linux. I'm actually a little surprised at that, but I'll go with it.

In the poll at the end, there are plenty of people who have been through the early stages, but significantly fewer who claim to have been through the guru/veteren stage. I presume that means they are still in the guru/veteren stage? :D

In some ways North Korea is one of the few countries that feels really foreign to me nowadays, but I think that might be because there is so little verifiable information about it. Regardless, looking at these photos I only think: Kim is lo

I don't understand the negative comments towards drm in this thread. I thought the problems with drm were: I can't play the game without the internet, I can't play the game anywhere I want, I can't resell the game and treat it like there wa

I think the author is upset because developers are slowly learning there is this giant demographic of people who like playing games, who aren't 16-30 year old males, and these people have no problem paying for games. I think he's upset beca
