    PC for Gaming?

    Here are a couple of guides that will give a decent idea of what to look for at different price levels. Guide 1 - Seems to be updated monthly. Prices don't include optical drive or additional cooler. Guide 2 - Tom's Hardware builder marathon for September. Updates quarterly. I tend to like...

    Is this a good mouse? Can you recommend me a better one?

    Just as Propkid mentioned, your grip style will play a large part in deciding which type of mouse you will want to use. Razer has an illustration of grips here. Determine your grip style then research which mice are recommended for that grip. Also, try out mice at a store like Seymour...

    Colleges

    From what I remember in reading interviews with developers, the school you go to matters less than internships and your portfolio of work, as long as you have a computer science degree or similar. Tons of schools have decent computer science programs. However, all of the universities with...

    Any final fantasy fans

    My favorite is also FF6. I've been wanting to play the FF4 sequel as well. Btw, if you haven't tried it, the FF4 remake on DS was actually pretty nice (and it settled some arguments over name pronunciations since it had voice acting, haha). FF7 was good, but, I agree, very over-hyped. Whenever...

    Net Neutrality

    I haven't been keeping up on net neutrality news, but all sorts of things can happen if companies can prioritize traffic in any way they see fit. From initial thinking, the good that can come from it is if certain types of time-sensitive traffic (games and voip for example) had higher priority...

    Nerds rejoice! Math thread.

    48/2(9+3) The answer depends on if you strictly follow the order of operations or if you take the 2(9+3) as an implied multiplication. As it is, I interpret it as (48/2)(9+3). Following the order of operations, the answer is 288. However, if you had something like 48/2x, most people would...

    Laptop keyboard+trackpad with Desktop

    I haven't actually used that software before, but from a quick read of the guides that seems right.

    Laptop keyboard+trackpad with Desktop

    I used to have an unorthodox control scheme back in my Quake 2 days. Until switching to keyboard + mouse, it was difficult to see the limitations of my old scheme. However, if you really want to stick with your laptop's keyboard + trackpad, this might work for you: http://synergy-foss.org/ It...

    FPS limit

    Something to note about vsync: From my understanding, it adds a slight input lag (the time between input, such as a mouse click, and seeing a reaction on the screen). This is because double (or triple) buffering is used. With double buffering, you are essentially seeing one frame behind. For 60...
