    New Intel SSD drives are in!!!

    Er, wtf? How did you manage that? It was in stock for about an hour this time (which beats the five minutes of previous rounds), but newegg just bumped the price to 280 once it was OOS again.

    Moving mouse while USB is active causes Windows freeze

    It's an old/board computer, it's not getting replaced for better or worse. PS2 is not really an option either. I'm going to try a PCI USB card. Hopefully that will help. As far as I know the PCI card should take care of everything USB and not involve the motherboard's USB at all.

    Moving mouse while USB is active causes Windows freeze

    Mouse: Logitech MX518 Windows: XP Pro SP3 Motherboard: EPoX 9NPA+ Whenever there is high activity over USB - mainly reading or writing files to USB storage - and I move my mouse, Windows freezes completely. The only recovery is a hard reboot. This has been consistent over three installs...

    Shoudl I go Widescreen?

    An X1950 will be able to handle any of those types of monitors easily. Personally, I'm a fan of widescreen - 16:10 is so much better for movies and games. Almost any modern game supports 16:10 resolutions. Movies/shows still aren't perfect, since they're 16:9... what I really want is a...

    Our 200 employee company goes through 50k sheets of paper a week

    I used to test high-volume production printers. On a good shift, I could get 30,000 sheets through a machine. There were maybe 50 machines in the group. So if you really want to use a bunch of paper, try one of these.

    Is it possible to set hotkeys in the following ways?

    It's absolutely possible. Numerous applications exist that can turn anything you want to do into a keyboard shortcut. I usually write my own with AutoIt.

    A little help with CSS

    That's HTML, not CSS, XNice. There are tons of CSS references on the web, try this one. You should be able to find your answer in a few seconds of googling. I think you are talking about "font-weight: bold". Also, if you are using tables, you are most likely not using CSS correctly...

    Anyone have one of those Braun shavers?

    I have pretty coarse and thick facial hair. I've tried both Braun and Panasonic shavers, and neither cut it (no pun intended). Both left way too much stubble, even after going over the same places many times at different angles. I also wasted about $180 on the Braun/Panasonic "experiment"...

    ZoneAlarm Internet Security Suite for $9.99 OTD @ Best Buy (maybe less w/ an upgrade rebate)

    You install the whole thing, but you can turn off the components you don't want to use. I turn off everything but the firewall - all the other stuff seems useless or poorly done.
