Help with a rotary tool
Hi there chaps I'm shopping for my first rotary tool and I'm not sure what to look for. I've always been a strictly manual work person, but now I've been served a little job that doing by hand is no longer practical. I suppose it would help to list what I'd be using it for: -sanding/cleaning... -
Two years: Questionable editorial neutrality and inconsistent diction
To Hardware Canucks and its readers, Hardware Canucks articles have become considerably... wordy since the smaller days of 2007. These are a handful of examples which have picked out from the beginning of the most recent review. From them, and from some recent articles, I have a suspicion...- Amon

Need for Speed: ProStreet

Hellgate London
I bought the game over the weekend (yeah, I know. I bought a game!) and it's a pretty good game. However, everyone can agree that it lacks a lot of polish and is plagued with an enormous number of bugs and glitches that will often interfere with the experience. It's mostly worth the money, I'd... -
Cannot retrieve work units
It seems like my laptop has suddenly decided to *explicit language* itself up somehow. It may have to do with when I used an ethernet hardline for the first time instead of wireless because Windows' Time and Date tool can no longer connect to the Internet to synchronize; looks like it somehow...- Amon

New mouse recommendations
My Logitech G7--13 months old--is almost bricked at the moment. I will need a new mouse soon to replace it and my criteria will be rather strict this time.

Two folding machines
All, I've installed [email protected] onto my laptop (see signature). I've installed two instances of [email protected] console in separate folders and each console was assigned a unique CPUID (2 and 3) when being configured.

GeForce Go 8600M GT 256MB
I'm curious as to why my laptop's GeForce 8600M GT 256MB is showing me a significant clock frequency disparity. According to nVidia's official 8600M GT web page, the core/memory frequencies should be at 475MHz core and 700MHz memory, per channel, for the GeForce Go mobile video card. According...- Amon

Workstation displat
Hi everyone, I need to replace my current workstation monitor--a gigantic CRT--with an LCD equivalent. After painting my room (desert gold!) and having ordered a glass-surface workdesk, I'm honestly not comfortable with placing the 40kg mini-fridge-sized CRT anywhere on it; it won't fit...- Amon
