Apparently, Tommy Lee Jones and Hugo Weaving are both confirmed for the move.  And public opinion seems to be leaning toward Jones likely playing the Red Skull.

Well the title is self-explainitory for i've got my hands on a iPad. So far I'm rather liking it....two hours into having it in my hands that is. I can see where some who are complaining about the lack of a true keyboard are coming from though. As the touchscreen keyboard takes some getting used to. Still it's loads better to use than that kludge of a interface the psp has for it's text entry system. As for missing flash things on webpages....meh! If it's on YouTube the internal parser works fine. Just not for all youtube videos as there's some in the music thread which aren't available.

Now all I need to test is how it handles the documents I get sent to tell me how to do my work. Which most of the time I only need to read once & add or subtract to from previous work. IT installations, the paperwork never ends!

Hey all, sorry if those of you playing coh waited for me for too long.

But my graphics card (nvidia geforce 8800 gt) has apparently given up the ghost. Windows froze mid game with some strange graphical artifacts and when i rebooted Windows was running in the generic graphics card mode. Looking at the device manager said the card was failing due to an "error (code 43)".

Google has turned up a few threads which all seem to point towards a physical problem (maybe bad capacitors).

Anyone have any suggestions? I do have access to soldering equipment and it doesn't look like it's going to get much worse.

I'm off to dig up receipts and see I'm still in warranty. If not, and I can't fix it myself, anyone have a suggestion as to what to get as a replacement?

edit: and it's out of warranty *grumble*

Most of you are probably going "who", either because you're younger than me, not from the US, or both.  Early TV personality who grew famous partly for the "Kids Say The Darnedest Things" segment on his show House Party, where he'd gently quiz a group of kids and elicit all kinds of outrageous responses.  Anyway, this news surprised me because I hadn't realized he was still alive at all.
