    Hacker schools/boot camps?

    What do you guys thinking of "hacker schools" like: Dev Bootcamp App Academy I'm thinking about applying to one of these programs. It would also be helpful to hear feedback about these schools from alumnis/former students.

    Having problems adjusting Dell U2713HM

    I'm not sure if it's normal. First time owning an IPS monitor. Yes my sharpness is set to 50 currently. I wanted to try +/- 5 on that level to see if it'll make a difference.

    Connecting computers over LAN

    I'm trying to connect 2 computers over my network. It worked before when the laptop was using wireless. I decided to connect the laptop to the router because I needed a way to transfer the files, and it was way too on the wireless (2MB/s). I can connect to my laptop to the desktop just fine, but...

    h50 problem?

    @deimos3428: haha yeah that was the plate to hold the cpu down. I'll try mounting the cooler again once I clean up the paste and apply a new batch. @Kenmitch: Yes I did what you did. I could heard the pump running. I felt vibrations from the tubes. The fan for the radiator was also working.

    Time to upgrade?

    On the specs for my mobo, it says it accepts DDR2 1066 with OC in parentheses. Would that mean that if I put this type of RAM on my mobo it will overclock my CPU? I'm new to overclocking. Thanks for all the suggestions that everyone has posted. After thinking about this for awhile, I have...
