    What do you do on the computer?

    That button truly works like hc drug :P You find your self thinking "just one more time.. on more wouldn't hurt - right? ...why stop now?" So yes, I do stumble... I do waste my time also reading news (feeds), listening music from Last.fm and inserting product information for price comparison...

    Alternatives for XAMPP?

    Uniform server is also good alternative. I've been using it and it works without problem. What I like most in it, is the virtual disk drive feature. Accessing files gets way more quicker when www-folders are in root of a drive. It's also portable so I tend to carry it on a USB-stick.

    Adobe photoshop cs4 is here!

    This time I really think Adobe has made big changes to the software at core level (64bit support), which isn't something you can just "patch". Security and other little fixes are free, with Adobe updater, which I would call patching. CS4 offers new features and that's a quite normal reason to...

    Adobe photoshop cs4 is here!

    I think CS4 is a major update. The CS family now utilizes 64-bit architecture and ie Photoshop and After Effects have support for display adapter processing. Those changes alone are worth the upgrade..

    Building a computer

    If I had $400 and I just could wait and save some more (which would be very good idea IMHO)... I would buy something like this (from newegg.com): Seagate Barracuda 7200.11 ST3500320AS 500GB 7200 RPM SATA 3.0Gb/s Hard Drive - OEM Item #: N82E16822148288 -$5.00 Instant $74.99 $69.99 G.SKILL...

    Nvidia or ATI

    I picked ATI, but I'm not 100% sure about my answer. I have had mostly ATI cards in all my previous desktops after 3dfx Voodoo2. From Radeon 7000 to current X800XL. So I've been pretty loyal customer. (btw. that Radeon 7000 is still working!) Current choice of desktop GPU would be...

    Anyone tried Google Chrome?

    Chrome is nice browser, and it's indeed very fast and uses less ram than FF. As good as Chrome is, I can't use it due lack of Java (unless you opt to get beta version of Java) and plugin support. There are also FF plugins I just can't live without.

    At what age did you first get a website?

    I made my first website being around age of 11-12. That must've been like 1997-98 or something. The website was for our Quake 1 DM clan called FuNkY cHicKen.. Hah! The whole thing still makes me laugh. I wish I had functional floppy-disk drive, because I still got the disk where I saved...

    What kind of games do you play??

    Pretty much FPS in form of Team Fortress 2 and Quake III since the Live beta invited me to test it. But also RTS (Warcraft III), RPG only with consoles, puzzle and sport games occasionally. Hmmph... I wonder how badly I'll get addicted to Diablo III, when blizzard releases it.

    Rate my computer!

    My brother bought similar rig last christmas. Q6600 is pretty good CPU if it's with G0-stepping. I would have recommended the new 45nm lineup (Q9300..)as it performs better per Ghz and generates less heat - which means less noise in practice. GF8800 GT and variations are ok, but Radeon 4850...
