    Looking to learn HTML formatting

    ActiveState's Komodo IDE has options to reformat code. I imagine one could paste in a blob of text and it would accurately reformat the HTML and any Javascript to expected standards. Komodo IDE: Professional IDE for Python, PHP, Ruby, Perl, HTML, CSS, JavaScript

    Need advice for creating Usenet indexer site

    After thinking some more, I believe what I truly want to do just simply query sites for the data. Nzbs.org, for example, has an API for getting NZB data so I'd actually do that rather than indexing Usenet newsgroups myself (not to mention the storage requirements for such thing is massive from...

    Need advice for creating Usenet indexer site

    I want to create a website that's essentially a usenet indexer for movies. As an example, most movie and TV-show sites (like Nzbs.org and others) have Title, Actor, Director, Genre, etc. etc. filters. Plus, nice little coverart and scene clips. My question is, which technologies do I need...

    Bioshock Infinite

    Just finished Infinite earlier today. I'm a sucker for time-travel/alternate universe stuff, so I genuinely enjoyed the story. Like others have said, though, the gameplay was mediocre at best. I barely used the powers. Pretty much stuck to Possession, Crows, and Bronco-whatever. Since you...

    I agree. They need to go back to their "roots". Unfortunately they made Fitz into a murderer which they conveniently forgot.

    should we remove nets

    How about just a "Like" system like Facebook (can't "Dislike" only "Like")? You can do one Like per person'spost. But the Likes will tally a total under the person's account. Sure, people could Like every single post of an individual to inflate their numbers, but eh, who cares.

    Computer Issues

    I just built a computer for a family member. Got Windows 7 loaded, all the drivers, etc. Working great EXCEPT the front USB ports are slow as shit. I'm talking like ~512KB/sec slow. Any clue what could cause this? I can't find any BIOS settings that could possibly limit it. Rear ports are...

    should we remove nets

    I honestly don't give a shit either way. BUT I will say that the whole +/- 'nets thing creates a psychological fear of posting. I've been neg'd on plenty of occasions because someone simply had a differing opinion (wasn't like I posted scat porn or something).

    SteamOS

    I guess the question is, can Steam make a case for studios to produce Linux (or, rather, SteamOS) versions of their games? If they can and SteamOS builds up momentum, then I can certainly see it becoming the new standard platform for PC gaming. But, in order to do this, it HAS to offer some...

    What vehicle do you drive?

    A 2011+ Mustang V6 with the Performance Pack is very respectable. In a recent comparison it outperformed a Subaru BRZ at the track. I've owned a WRX (not the STI, mind you) and, while I enjoyed the car, the lack of torque killed it for me.

    A screechy-like noise? Man, I had that once with motherboard ages ago. Annoying as shit.

    Maybe check the video card's fans themselves. One could be off-kilter, or actually rubbing against an internal wire to the card itself (I've actually had this happen before).

    Desktop Computers

    That's strange. To me, it sounds like a fan is spinning up and there's perhaps a wire/cord rubbing against the fan blades. Why the fan wouldn't be spinning with other games I don't know (unless they are less taxing graphically?). As a test, try taking the side panel off if it has a fan...

    Desktop Computers

    Granted, I don't do a lot of gaming on my PC anymore, but the games I have played support 16:10 just fine (I can confirm Guild Wars 2 and WoW). I really can't imagine a game strictly forcing 1920x1080 on you.

    Dell UltraSharp U2412M IPSmonitors are amazing. Plus they have a 1920x1200 resolution. I can't recommend them enough.

    I don't expect the card to be completely silent but not a jet turbine either. I bought an HIS Ice-Q Radeon card a couple years ago and it's been great. Sure you can kinda hear it at full load, but with other background noise going on you wouldn't notice it. That's what I'm looking for. I...

    Can anyone make a recommendation on a ~$200 Nvidia card that isquiet? And I don't mean quiet when idle. I'm talking about when playing a game I don't want to hear shit (and no jokes about wearing headphones).

    What's also amazing is how a massive star will spend millions of years burning hydrogen into helium. But each step up the elemental ladder the burn process gets shorter. Once a star hits silicon it will burn it's entire silicon store in a matter of hours.

    It's because VY Canis Majoris has an extremely low density. It's a star that's at the end of its life and has swollen up to an extreme size. Something similar will happen to our sun -- it'll puff up multiple times it's current size but it's mass will be (about) the same.
