WTF @ Best Buy?

Posted by Ryudo on 07/23/2008 at 06:15:50 pm in Tekzilla

If you live in an apt with 4 people in a crappy place wouldn't just be better for now to stick with a cheap wired keyboard?
You can get some nice ones still.

Registry repair for OS X??

Posted by burkhartmj on 07/23/2008 at 04:13:08 pm in Tekzilla

The registry was fine in the days of simple computing, it's just suffering from old age. Things won't end well if any version after Windows 7 still has it, though of course killing it in that version would be awesometastic.

This is what you miss when don't watch live

Btw any screen capture tool (like CamStudio) also works for capturing it, since it is a flash player. I tried to record the 16th show but my system was too low-end (1,3 GHz and 512 MB memory) so fps was 1-6 fps :(

Crysis Control

Posted by bigshotprof on 07/23/2008 at 06:42:07 am in Tekzilla

Oh . . . okay. Thanks. Did solve the problem though, I had never spent anytime in vista before installing it in this machine. Turns out I just had to go around '"autoinstall" to the discs setup file and it did the trick. Thanks again for your help.

P&S Camera Advice (was: reaching patrick norton)

I have a G9 and it is really great. No problem taking pictures of my nephew (1 year).

WiFi connection question, please help!

Posted by tehBoris on 07/22/2008 at 01:11:19 am in Tekzilla

Ideally you would use a ethernet cable, that will give the the best results. Providing there isn't any thing interfering with the wireless signal (2.4Ghz videos senders, cordless phones, other APs), the difference between the Ethernet cable and wireless connections won't be major or, probably, humanly noticeable.

Veronica on TWiT

Posted by Ryudo on 07/22/2008 at 07:38:18 pm in Tekzilla

It was a good twit but I do hope this was the last e3 ever,e3 is terrible anymore.
Was surprised Major Nelson did not bring up that this gen Xbox 360 is also the #1 console for RPGS.(something surprisingly PS3 seriously lacks)

Also Wii has actually sold the most software,it broke PS2's record of first year software sales where PS2 had 42 million and Wii sold 50 million.(setting a record,and they left out the Wii series games.)
As to women being gamers,that is no surprise I think.

I often go to video game themed parties and many women show up as well as guys and play.
We usually play games like Halo3 Cod4 Guitar Hero and various Wii games.

happy birthday veronicazilla!

Happy birthday, Veronica/Bearonica! Go and enjoy it. So... do stuff.

Firefox addres bar keybord short-cut in Linux and Windows.

Posted by sal-e on 07/21/2008 at 05:29:27 am in Tekzilla

Hi Patrick,

I don't have a Mac, but in Windows and Linux the short-cuts for going to address bar is
Ctrl+L.
The Ctrl+O will open the "Open" dialog and that way you can open a locally saved file.

In today's Tekzilla you showed the "Alt+O" to be the short-cut, but It does not work for me.

Thank you,
SAL-e

Love the show - How about more on making a gaming rig

Posted by bman on 07/20/2008 at 10:09:23 pm in Tekzilla

Those are great ideas and I would love to see them.

Though, the is 260 cards better then SLI is a quick answer really. They couldn't do much with it. From my experience one higherend card is usually better. Though many say otherwise.
