Want 20% more bandwith free?
I recently found out that on Windows XP, 20% of your bandwidth is reserved for update downloads. When you're not downloading a Microsoft update, that 20% goes to waste. Now you can reclaim it in 3 steps.
STEP 1: Go to Start > Run > Then type: gpedit.msc

The past week I received and email from SE saying that FFXIV beta is opening soon. Beta testing offers a huge opportunity to those who are set on playing a particular game.

Cool video on games from TED
See how many of the games in the evolution you've played. At the end he has a short clip by someone who says he's addicted to games. I can see many parallels with FFXI as well as other games out there. FFXI is addictive, but imo, not as bad as some of the first person shooters out there. Recently I picked up Call Of Duty 4, which seemed less like a ( Read more... ) -
