New computer
We don't post or encourage illegal stuff here. Windows 7 is in the list but it's up to the person to buy it or not. The OS is pretty much the only thing that I will willfully pay for when I can have it for free. Or other alternatives, but games work best in Windows, not any Linux distros.

Things that annoy the HELL out of you.
Yeah I know about hidden files, and I've known about them since before I owned my own computers. I just don't like people going on my computers, even when it's an hour after a clean install.

Computer monitor settings
Intel can be just the graphics processor. Did you first upgrade the graphics driver? Usually the screen model is going to be in the back of the screen.

I agree, I never let anyone acound my computers, and probably never will. Public computers are OK with me though.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3
Very few campers in Team Defender, and Kill Confirmed (not sure about the last one, since I don't play it a lot, but I haven't had a game of KC with campers yet.

Cars
Hybrid doesn't necessarily mean less power. Some hybrid cars actually have more power than the basic car of the same model.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3
This game really sucks tonight... Only played 3 matches but every lobby lagged and people were camping their asses off, unlike the usual in Team Defender.. Looks like my friends had the same experience since most of them had already stopped playing, and some of them were just in parties talking, and when I asked it seems they were tired of playing with lag. Is something going on with the internet tonight or something?

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3
Should be in more places to stop thoose drop-shotting [bleep]s. You just need to be able to aim better. The reason we drop-shot as I love to do it myself, is that it makes it easier to not get hit by people that can't aim. I don't drop-shot that often, but it sure helps keeping a killstreak. Also it's pretty rare that drop-shotters are able to kill me as I am getting used to having half the people do that to me.

New computer
But the i7-2600k's hyperthreading is better for video and photo editing, which is what he's looking for too. I agree, but from the post before Askthedude's one, it almost seems like he's going for a gaming computer rather than a computer for editing.

New computer
Then an i5 2500k will still outperform the i7 960 for a similar price iirc. Even if games don't take advantage of the hyperthreading, as you say, from my own and my friend's experience it still outperforms the processors without the hyperthreading.

But you get killed round walls in MW3 now. Much less than in Black Ops.

Ipod screen cracked
See if one of your friends knows someone that repairs them. I have a friend that repairs them for $20 in my class.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3
The best hit detection I've seen so far in the cod franchise was in MW2. MW3's hit detection is good enough that even though, I agree that sometimes you get a headshot when you shouldn't, at least we don't shoot through people like we did in B. O.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3
One way or the other I'm not getting another treyarch CoD, unless they fix their hit detection. It was decent in WaW but very broken in Black Ops.

Undecryptable password?
So I guess I know why so many people are getting their passwords stolen in Rs. Passwords aren't secure. Only way to have a good password would seem to be to add numbers.

Undecryptable password?
That must pretty new since I do have a capital letter and some punctuation in my Rs password.

Computer monitor settings
What's the model of the monitor? Most monitors work correctly under the standard pnp driver, but sometimes there's a driver that comes with them. If you go in the color settings of your computer, can you see if it's set at 32bits?

Is there an adaptor between the computer and the monitor?

hdmi on tv
Imo don't go for a tv through ebay, I'd rather deal with a company like amazon or newegg etc. for buying somthing large and possibly expensive. With Ebay you could wind up with dead pixels or worse and you probably won't get a refund. Remember whenever you are looking for a TV, always check reviews online about it. I literally spent pver an hour at a store Googling the best models and their reviews. I personally like Samsung Tvs but theres a few good name brands out there. Panasonic, Sony, Samsung, Sharp, and Philips are well known. All the Philips TVs I've seen had some kind of delay between the signal and the image, so they're not good TVs for gaming. Checking the reviews is definitely worth it, as apparently a lot of Samsung models have quality problems. Right now I have an LG Tv, and while it is worth checking the reviews, I think it's quite a good brand.

hdmi on tv
A good idea would be to get a TV of a brand that is known for quality. I've never heard of westinghouse, so it's probably one of the smaller and lower quality brands.

Cars
Probably is legit, but when someone sells a car for so low around here, it usually has over $10 000 in repairs to do with it.
