If the CPU QB's can stop throwing 5 picks a game, I might actually finish a season now.

Well, if you can live with about 3 picks a game from the CPU instead of 5 then you will be OK.

If it wasn't for a few more tipped passes by DB's you couldn't convince me that there was a patch. I still see ...

COD 4 for the PC, $35 shipped.

I also have a Merc Z keyboard. I used it for about a month and like it so much that I "upgraded" for the backlit version. $25 shipped.

Nvidia 8800gt is the "sweet spot" card right now. It retails between $250-300.

The ump called him safe a split second before Barrett tagged him. It's safe to assume Holliday wasn't planning on making any attempt to touch the plate.

Agreed. But you can't make that assumption for every situation in which you would want to use replay for this kind of call. As such, even if MLB ...

The umps whole reaction to the play was one of he didnt touch the plate, and no call would be made until the runner scurried back and touched the plate, safe, or the catcher got the ball and tagged the runner out, out.

It looked like the ump was doing that until the end where I guess he thought to ...

Barrett did tag him after the play at the plate.

http://youtube.com/watch?v=TXdmfcMi4gY

I just watched the video. He wasn't tagged until after the call of safe. Yes, Barrett is heading for him before the call, but doesn't get there until afterward. Yes, it is close, but it still comes after the ...

Wow, poor call to end the game. Holliday never touched the plate.

Yeah no $hit. INSTANT REPLY! INSTANT REPLY! INSTANT REPLY! C'mon, why not??? Such BS. After the way trevor was pitching though I doubt it would've matter if he had been called out.

How would instant replay have helped in this ...

Someone tell me why I drank the kool-aid this year and pulled the trigger on Cardinals season tickets? Granted, they are playing close games, but at the end of the same they are the same ol Cardinals.

Were the wide recieves on Leinert's USC teams only 2 feet tall? I've never seen a quarterback ...

Yeah, I'm actually hoping as many parts as possible are fried, thus forcing them to supply new components. I can't believe I spent $1,400 for this kind of aggrevation.

Aggrevation, yes. Money, I'm not so sure.

I am assuming, of course, that I don't end up with a $1,400 paper weight.

I'm also in the category of thinking I would feck up something by trying to put one together.

I seriously doubt that. Today's PC components are geared for the D.I.Y.'s. There is very little thought required in putting a system together. But if you really feel unnerved by the whole experience then ...

You should seriously tell them to build you a new one. There is no way you'll know in the future if an issue you see is because it's a new symptom or if this beating it is taking now is the cause (long term).

Did anyone hear Charles Barkley on MNF tonight? I know he drives some folks nuts, but I really thought he was really good. Would love to see him in the Monday booth on a regular basis. Would be a definate upgrade over Kornheiser.

This morning the shop couldn't even get to the bios screen. The technician began taking things apart. In the process, he noticed that whoever built the system had not even bothered to remove the protective film from the GTS8800 video card that they installed. Nice. I can't imagine that was helping ...

For some reason Seahawks struggle with Arizona. Poor start and worse finish. Who can figure this team?


Another great performance by B. Favre. He's playing like a kid out there.

Thanks for the condolences.

I seriously thought about finally building my own. I know enough to be able to determine what I want, but am not confident enough to think I could put it together on my own. I am 100% sure, however, that I would have remembered to take the protective sleeve off the ...

Stop running the f'n 3d Mark. Usually components will slow down a bit if they are hot, but won't stay that way if they are properly cooled. They either die or run...you usually don't get partial damage when it comes to heat.

Yes, performance will suffer with extreme heat. If you've got no case fans, you've just got component fans (CPU, VIDEO) that are just cranking hot air into the system. With no exhaust, you're just recycling hot air. Not a recipe for high performance.

Don't know without looking at it myself. The case fans are usually plugged in to either the power supply or the motherboard, so check those connections first. 85 isn't that hot for your CPU...so don't worry about that. I doubt anything is ruined. Just gotta get the cooling situation figured out ...
