    VUE Debugger Auction

    Also laughed at this, although my translate gave "Medieval (Junk)" instead. Still, really cool to see one of these up for sale.

    Start menu looks different

    As has been said twice, top rows are missing. Specifically, the top on the left side (pinned items). Right click whatever things you want up there and "pin to start menu" should fix it. My pinned crap on the top disappears if I use certain cleaning tools...

    Hacking [Released]Wii U Ancast Keys

    I know we can't modify the SM on vWii, but with a decrypted DOL would the vWii SM run on a normal Wii (in SNEEK)? Also, does anyone have a tool to decrypt the DOL in the vWii SM using a PC? I have a vWii wad that unpacks fine (extracted it from a vWii), but the DOL needs decrypting to try this.

    Been said plenty of times...R-Zone.

    Tiny7 or 7 Home Basic?

    Agreed with the above here. My experience: those custom versions of windows are complete junk, even if they don't show it right away. I used a stripped 7 once. Worked great for a week, then I went to install something to discover the 16-bit support was missing. Decided to put a game on there...

    nds-card.com Caused unauthorized credit card charges?

    Some googling suggests that there's a lot of complaints regarding fashionpay (actually a company called SHT). Most of the scam/fraud sites give them a bad score though. Some are due to people improperly reporting them in place of the bad vendor they bought from (usually obvious, they say they...

    nds-card.com Caused unauthorized credit card charges?

    Might as well add another case. I haven't personally used them, but my friend who doesnt have an account here did (he asked where to buy a flashcart, I mentioned they were one we recommend here) and had something similar happen. About a day after he ordered a flashcart, he got 7 fraudulent...

    Dyndns ending free service

    My "dynamic" IP changes once every 6 months, so I just use A records and standard DNS. I wonder if this will affect the D-link DNS service, which is dyndns rebranded and provided free to D-Link router users. I got an account through that version a little while back when I found a free D-Link...

    7 Promises Made By Oculus After Facebook Buyout

    Like many others, I'm curious to see whether Oculus ends up staying as separate it sounds it will be. As someone who has had the opportunity to try a devkit version of the unit (how close this is to the final unit, I don't know, when I tried it I had some lag but I think that should be blamed...

    thaddius' Console Roast 2014 Edition - Round 8

    Interesting list this time. I'm surprised to see TapWave here. I know a lot of gamers, and all of them have never heard of it. I knew about it before this only because I'd seen the wikipedia page on it. It's a Palm PDA with extra sound and graphics hardware bolted on. It may have had...

    Goodbye Windows XP

    Tried this, except skipped the export part of step 2 since I use FF on that box. She couldn't be bothered to just visit the ISP's website to check her email (I have google as the home page), and complained that her browser history was missing. Ugh. Will need to do try again at some point...

    Goodbye Windows XP

    Still running numerous XP boxes here...and since I do PC support as a side job, I support many other people's XP boxes too. Big thing lately has been Win8 downgrades to 7, but I still get calls from people needing an XP box fixed. It's enough that I'd say 1 in 4. As for big companies and...

    Hardware Tell us your computer's specs

    My current system: * AsRock Extreme4 990FX MoBo * AMD FX-8350 8-core CPU * nVidia GTS450 (defective, needs to be underclocked to eliminate artifacts, I have a 470 in the basement and am too lazy to install it) * 550w PSU * 16GB DDR3 1600 RAM * Two HDDs: 750GB and 500GB, both 7200RPM * DVD-RW...

    Microsoft Bring the Start Menu Back to Windows 8

    That would be fine for tablets, but if you consider that most people with Win8 have a PC, which has no button below the screen, then this is a terrible idea (I don't count the keyboard, since that's not the same). In addition, everyone else in the PC and mobile market already knew what MS is...

    Microsoft Bring the Start Menu Back to Windows 8

    I use the menu 54 times a day based on average (based on a crude program I wrote that counts the number of times it's opened on my Win7 box)...so a lot, and it'd be even more if I didn't use a command prompt for a lot of stuff. Also, the new screen doesn't even support a hierarchy. You can...

    Microsoft Bring the Start Menu Back to Windows 8

    Those of us who do things like development often need to launch programs, sometimes while watching other things run. Hiding everything you're doing just to launch something is absurd. The full-screen aspect is the primary reason I hate modern UI. Because otherwise there's no way to open it with...

    Hacking UNBELIEVABLE!!I DOWNLOADED THE 'WII TRANSFER TOOL'ON WII

    I did this a few days after the Wii U came out...it was one of the first things I tried when I got my hands on a dump. It's possible to install it, but also completely useless. The download assistant that comes on the vWii works, but IIRC the downloaded channel from the shop just gives a black...

    thaddius' Console Roast 2014 Edition - Round 6

    I remember wanting a Nomad. The only home console I had was a Genesis up until someone gave me a PS1. When I was really young, my favorite games were Sonic 2, Sonic 3, Tinhead, and Vectorman. I still play them with an emulator on Wii. A friend of mine had and played Nomad last I talked to...

    Upgrade from Windows 7 to Windows 8?

    Win8 is essentially a slightly faster booting Win7 with a terrible UI attached. The only reason I'd upgrade is if I had to run a program that didn't work on 7. Currently, there are no such programs other than the modern UI apps. As others have said, pass on Win8 and wait for 9. Win7 will be...
