I say it's "Legos" when referring to multiple bricks as in: "All of my Legos just fell on the floor!" The collective "Lego" can be used when referring to a group of or set of Lego as a single concept as in "I need more Lego" or "I really enjoy building Lego."

Hey all. I just upgraded my home internet to a fiber optic network through coaxial. I get about 14 to 15 mb down on programs like Amazon Unbox video. So I know that I'm getting at least this usable bandwidth coming in. But my steam download speeds top out at about 2.5 mb/s. Does anyone have an idea of what the problem might be? Does steam not take advantage of all of the bandwidth available? Thanks!

Will mentioned the cum face picture that's floating around, but I happened to screengrab another lovely visage of Will Smith. anyone want to do horrible things with this?

I'm getting close to a new pc build. I'm pretty new to this so I was wondering if I could get som advice on installing windows 7. I'm getting an ssd and I want to make the most of it. How much space should I partition for the OS?

@Mirado: Through the Nvidia control panel, I was able to force it to scale to the monitor by lowering the resolution. But I don't really want a 1920x1080 monitor that has to display at like 1800x1000 as it happened to turn out.

I just bought a new monitor. The Viewsonic  vx2253mh-led. I plugged it in via HDMI into my GeForce Gtx 460. I set the resolution to 1920x1080, which is ostensibly the native resolution. When I did this, the colors immediately became washed out, but more importantly, the screen didn't seem to resize to fit the monitor properly. I can only describe it as being zoomed in so that the edges of the screen didn't fit into the viewable area of the monitor. I have no idea what the issue is. Can anyone help me out? Thanks.

It's that time of year, and I'm looking to beg for a new video card! I'm looking at a budget somewhere around $100-150. What card should give me the best bang for my buck? many thanks!

@Rocketfacepalm:
Thanks very much! I salute you!

Now I'm not very clever when it comes to computers, so please bear with me. Here are pictures of a couple of desktops.

 

 

Both appear to have Vista. I'd really like to organize my icons into some slick toolbars like they have, but I don't know how. I did manage to make a really crappy looking toolbar by dragging a folder to the top of the screen, but nothing nearly as nice as theirs. Does anyone know how they made them? 
 Thanks in advance!

Thanks a lot! That was easy.

How do I set up a PS3 media server? I've got all these handy movie files on my pc now, but I don't know how to stream them to my PS3!
