Did I accidentally break my computer's CPU while dismantling it? I was trying to take out the heat sink and the CPU was stuck to it. I'm guessing that I might have broken off a piece near the center there. :[

[B]It should be fine[/B], but just in case
Search the name of the cpu and pins together on googgle.
For instance "Pentium 4 Pins" and then it would show how it's supposed to look like at the bottom.

How come some HD avi are larger than the source DVD(blulays not released)? What makes it HD and what happened to increase the file size?

If I fly from NY to CA and , do I not gain some hours when I land on CA due to time difference. Flight may took six hours but when I land inCA I would be still in earlier time compared to if I just stayed in NY for six hours. So how many hours can one possibly gain by travelling from zone which time is ahead to zone which time is behind. I guess once u cross certain time zone you would lose the hours gained but my question is what's the maximum hours one could gain before that happens.
 
Anyone here use Rhapsody?

With the Rhapsody software, it lets you import your local drive music into your rhapsody playlist, which I did, and now regret. I can't figure out how to either 1) view Rhapsody bookmarked music separately from my local drive music like you can in virtually any other similar software, or 2) remove my local drive music from the library. Any help?
 
Is there an easy way to stretch a YouTube video from 4:3 to 16:9 during playback? It's not my own.

Well if you fly east from Russia to Alaska, you can gain 20+ hours, depending on the length of the flight. It's like a whole new day.
 
So, there was this story someone posted in creepy GAF a while back, about a logger who took refuge in an old shack with several, weird, menacing paintings on the walls. He woke up and there weren't any pictures - just windows... can anyone find this post for me?

*EDIT*

Fuck, found it. False alarm.

You can arrive before you left if you cross the international dateline going eastward.

Ooh now I'm interested too.
 
When I connect my laptop to a tv with an HDMI cord do I get full range 0-255 pc levels? I'm configuring MadVR and I primarily intend to do my watching through my television. However, I dont know whether to assume my tv will display 0-255 or how to find out if it does.
 
Anyone know of any website that streams Halloween music?

I'd like to stream some on my PC and open my windows so the kids can hear it as I'm passing out candy tonight?

Eh, nevermind I will just create a youtube playlist, dumb question indeed. :P
 
What do people in Japan recommend for a baby's first foods?

Is there a Japanese culture thread (expert) where this question might be appropriate? I know there are lots of gaffers in Japan but couldn't find one.

Probably breast milk/ formula like most cultures.
 
Anybody have any experience with ringing in the ears after concerts/clubs? I went out on Saturday night and I can still hear a slight ringing in my ears now, although it has faded somewhat. Google tells me that it can last for a while, has anybody on GAF experienced this before?

Yeah. It goes away, although it's still pretty bad for you.

Tinnitus is serious shit, bro.

I suggest you take heed of any advice you're given.
 
What's the best way to stay awake? I don't plan on going to sleep tonight to catch up on time but I know I'll feel like absolute shit at work tomorrow.

I've never drunken (is this the right grammar? or is it dranken, or drank) coffee before so maybe that would do me good if I tried some. I've done this times before but always felt like shit so what have you guys done to stay up and not feel so bad.
 
If you don't smoke, cigs will keep you awake, coffee, energy drinks are the easy thing though, kill four red bulls in half an hour, you'll crash eventually, but you can keep going for a couple of days before it'll really slap you around.

N+

Easily one of the best 4 players co-op games out there (no splitcreen though). Get it, it's freaking hilarious when playing with friends.
 
My friend's internet is somewhat fucked up,

-He is saying "This message appears 'DNS 80710102 Error' when trying to connect online on PS3".
-He tried to change the primary and secondary DNS but it didn't work.
-Turned off the firewall.
-The Wireless isn't working, he is connected wirelessly but he can't surf or do anything.

Any solutions !?

You can get the URL of either the FLV or the MP4 with DownloadHelper or similar extensions, then open that URL with VLC. There, you can force any kind of AR.
 
I need help to find a song.

It sounds very similiar to this part of another song, without the singing:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=3Ea63B7eEF0#t=64s
(from 1:08 - 1:22)

I have no idea who the artist is, any names whatsoever, what kind of genre it is specified under. It just really, really, really bugs me that I can't find the song that I'm looking for! I've searched for a few hours + gone through my whole music library. Still, I am clueless.

Does anyone have the slightest of idea? Anything will help!

WOW! Thank you the really quick response! I am really grateful! Yes thats exactly the song I was looking for, almost. There is only one problem remaining. I must have heard some kind of remix of that song. It ever so slightly differs from Röyksopps song. Do you know if this is the original, or if they have worked with another artist when developing this song?

Edit: No this is the right song. I must have heard it as a soundtrack to another video though. Thanks for the help yet again bro!
 
I bought an xbox 360 games on demand game, and I want to play dragon age origins.....but the download stops when i try to play it.

I then try to play soul calibur xbla. The download stops!

what gives? These games don't even have online multiplayer. why would a download stop when trying to play them?

Is there a way to change this?

Downloads stop when any game you're playing tries to connect to a server or download information. So I guess you're connecting to a server or something while playing Dragon Age or Soul Calibur. I saw a video about this on the Xbox dashboard a month ago or so, maybe you can track it down to clarify

hmm. okay. Is there a way to watch a video on your 360 without going to the zune marketplace? I miss being able to watch videos and download stuff in the background.
 
1 - Can anyone recommend a good AV receiver that has 2 HDMI *outputs* so I can run my PS3 on separate settings to my Boxee Box?

2 - Why is it that when I got banned, all my subscribed threads got deleted. That's cold, man :(
