Free Battlefield coming summer 2008

If you haven’t played any Battlefield PC game before I highly encourage you to do so. The game is highly addicting. The idea is simple. You start on a base with a flag. You must conquer the remaining territories on the map with flags on them. Then whats so hard about it? You have an opposing team doing the same! Battleheroes is aimed to be a 4 multiplayer game! Sounds promising. Can’t wait until it arrives. Check it out here.

Where can I get a previous title of battlefield to try it out?

You may download a trial version online of the first Battlefield! Don’t worry, its highly addictive! that allows you to play on one map online! Don’t worry, there are plenty of matches to keep you busy! Download here.

Where to buy books

Not at the book store! Books are so overpriced at the bookstore, it isn’t funny. I’ve found books through friends with $100 differences. Heck, some people even let you borrow the book! When no one has the book, I usually go to Amazon, Half.com, Google, and even Ebay!

How do I find people with my book at my school?

Easiest way is to try and post it on the MySpace Forums for your specific university. Same with Facebook. Someone is bound to want to get rid of that book.

Alternatives?

Buy the international edition! Many books offer a cheaper international edition text book, same material, simply distributed in a different country. You may find copies on Amazon, Half, or anywhere else.

iHaveThatBook.com

Clever new website where you sign up, and can see people in your university who want to get rid of their books! Check it out IHaveThatBook!.

NES games playable online!?

Where?

Here!

Excerpt from DistroWatch:

“Linux Mint is one of the surprise packages of the past year. Originally launched as a variant of Ubuntu with integrated media codecs, it has now developed into one of the most user-friendly distributions on the market – complete with a custom desktop and menus, several unique configuration tools, a web-based package installation interface, and a number of different editions. Perhaps most importantly, this is one project where the developers and users are in constant interaction, resulting in dramatic, user-driven improvements with every new release.”

Why is LinuxMint a good alternative?

Where can I get LinuxMint?

Get LinuxMint here.

Is it free?

Of course! Pretty soon I’ll probably right a tutorial on how to install and remove such distros.

Linux running in Windows?

Believe it or not. If you want to avoid making a partition and installing Ubuntu and making a dual boot, here is your alternative. Instead, download andLinux and simply run your Windows and Linux programs side by side!

Where is andLinux?

andLinux is here.

What if I need extra help?

A GREAT article to read on how to set this up is here.

Does this cost anything?

Absolutely not! Donations are welcome though.

No Codecs Found!?

Can’t play your media since the laptop/computer you purchased doesn’t come with the right codecs? Only solution given was to purchase some codecs?

Don’t worry. You may download the K-Lite Codec Pack which will let play about 99% of all media downloaded from the internet as well as DVDs with Windows Media Player and more.

Download the Codecs here.

Free? Good?

Software for free is good? Many people think by a software being free it must be of low quality and are stressed out by trying to find out cheap solutions. Well, think again! Some of this software may be the best on the net since most of these programs such as Winamp are community based. In other words, many of its updated features are from popular demand from the users!

In the following page I posted many essential computer programs that are the equivalent to expensive software on the net! I’m going to make a detailed list of all the following:

What would I post?

Computer Programs

Anti-Virus Protection for Free

This anti-virus is easy to use, and compact. In other words, it doesn’t use up heavy resources as Norton AntiVirus, or those other pesky antivirus that bog down your system. It automatically updates its database whenever you log on to the internet so you are always protected. Highly recommended.
