SirNitram was a dick in the best possible way and he went far before his time. ast seven years...? Huh. Well, on a personal level my father, two nephews, and my husband died and I l...

However, prepare for more River Song. As she said, how was she able to keep the connection if Clara was dead? That means she has figured out how to transpose her essence out of the mainframe and across space and time. No, she kept the connection because Clara was still alive somewhere. I'm pretty s...

It could, horrificly, have been worse - the last time the shooter was arrested the police found multiple machine guns and RPG's in his home. He was currently released under supervision following time in prison for operating a weed plantation and the guns, after getting a probational sentence for rap...

Re: Gearbox immortalizes deceased Borderlands fan
It'd be cynical if they were the ones to come up with the idea, but it was a friend of the deceased kid who called them. So yea, it's free publicity, but that doesn't make it less nice.

I first ran Windows 7 on a P4 with 768MB RAM, and it was a definite upgrade over XP. If you turn off the visual doodads it'll run smooth as butter.

Re: Oh god what have I done(PC issues)
What's the 'fix'?
Does your PC also run slow in safe mode?
Anything fishy under Services or in your startup items?
Is everything on the PC backed up in case you need to do a format and reinstall?

Star Trek: Online goes free-to-play
In a move that nobody didn't see coming, STO will be going free-to-play 'later this year'. I really enjoyed the beta but didn't feel the game was worth the money of a subscription; but if it's free I'm definitely going back in. It's a nice timewaster, especially if you have a group to play with.

LEGO Star Wars: The Padawan Menace
Has anyone watched this? It's a CN special, a CGI cartoon à la the Lego Star Wars cutscenes, and it's freakin' hilarious. Whoever made this is clearly a Star Wars nut because it's chock full of blink-and you'll-miss-it gags that'd fly right over a kid's head. Animation and voice acting is pretty swe...

Re: Saab is bankrupt
I don't know what are they counting on. Their only chance is to find a company like GM. Or produce a car that will literally sell like fresh cookies. They just have a GM-based SUV out, one that didn't get hit by the production shutdown since it's made in Mexico, so they may be counting on that to p...

Re: Saab is bankrupt
Since there seems to be money in premium superminis, I was thinking it could be very cool if someone bought the Saab brand, licenses the Panda platform and the TwinAir, then brings back a two-door, two-cylinder, FWD Saab sedan à la the 92.
Too bad it won't happen now.

Yeah, Spyker got in way over their heads. They should have stuck with making cool sportscars rather than try to break into the mainstream market. And this is a damn shame for Saab, both as a company and for its employees. A manufacturer with such a great history and back catalog shouldn't rot away l...

Re: Microsoft lied, the horror
I'm not really seeing "the horror" here, or the lies. Microsoft is still offering oodles of support to PC gaming even if they're not developing the games themselves, and it doesn't make any sense for them to port their titles to the PC when they're pushing the 360 as the go-to platform for...

Re: Doctor Who S32E4, "The Doctor's Wife" [spoilers]
Great episode. Funny, cool villain, neat concept and so full of continuity porn it ached without becoming obnoxiously self-referential. I wish they'd been able to keep 'Idris' - maybe as a hologram? - because the dialog would've been golde, but I suppose the ending with the lever worked just as well.

Right so we're supposed to think the Doctor knocked up Amy under the silences orders. Only eventually it'll turn out to be for some other reason. This is getting worse and worse. Doctor/Amy/Rory triangle was always the worst part of last season. And you know this how? I thought the episode was awes...
