    Need suggestions for making CD for daughter to wake up to

    I used to listen to Bon Jovi's Blaze of Glory, which starts out "Wake up in the morning and I raise my weary head..." I also hooked up my cassette player/alarm clock to wind a string that would (through a few pulleys) turn my light switch on. I would suggest getting an alarm clock that slowly...

    HASP USB Drive?

    yeah, that was my origianl thought when I saw it and why I wrote down the info and searched it on the internet. Luckily, it does not seem to be a key logger. I guess I will just call IT and and see if I can explain it well enough that they will know what I am talking about and if they want it back.

    HASP USB Drive?

    :) thanks for the offer. I can call, I was just hoping to know whether or not I needed to since I am not looking forward to traking down whoever I need to over at IT only to have them tell me it needs to stay in. So I figured I would post here to see if anyone has dealt with HASP.

    HASP USB Drive?

    Hello, I have a quick question about a HASP USB drive. I was setting up a printer for one of our work computers and noticed a weird USB drive connected to the back. Not knowing what it was I wrote down the lettering on it and did a quick internet search. It turns out it is a HASP USB drive...

    thanks, I will have to see if I can find one or perhaps research getting a new one. If I do, I will let you know if it fixes the problem.

    Static Noise with sound

    Thanks for the replies. Paperdoc, only the speaker input is connected to the input jacks on the back of the case and there are no audio cables connected to the MB from anything except the front panel. Electric Amish, I moved my USB reciever to several different ports (even the front of the...

    Static Noise with sound

    Hey, I am having an issue with my motherboard?s built in audio and I am wondering what I should try to do in order to fix it. I have an IP35 pro motherboard and an Antec 900 case. I have crappy speakers (~$40) but really nice headphones ($299 ? Bose). There is a constant static and when I move...

    $80K Server/PC System

    Hey guys, Thanks for all of the responses. I feel a little better about things, but I will try and get an exact list of what parts are in the server and PCs and how much the software/service contract cost. I am on vacation this week but I will try and get the info when I get back. Cubby...

    $80K Server/PC System

    It bought 8 workstations (the PCs mentioned above) each with a 22" monitor and the server. It is kind of hard to quantify since the companies software and service contract are covered in the $80k (I believe it is a 3 year contract), but it was supposed to be top of the line stuff and it does not...

    $80K Server/PC System

    Ahh crap?I figured. Could you possibly elaborate though? What would a good server consist of? Should we have 4Gb of RAM? Also, would there be a difference using the DVI cables? Thanks Mike

    $80K Server/PC System

    Hi, I have a question regarding the server system our agency just had installed. Here is a bit of the background: I work in a forensic lab and we use a software program that monitors the digital images we capture of evidence, essentially creating a chain of custody for use in court. We just...

    ----------THE OFFICIAL CURRENTLY PLAYING THREAD------------

    Star Wars: Forces Unleashed?I keep playing the new trailer (webdoc3)?does that count? (The crap part is I just spent all of my money on building a PC and now I will be forced to save for a next gen console?I guess I will be able to play Mass Effect then, which I REALLY REALLY want to play.)...

    Ever have one of those "holy sh*t! that scared the hell outta me! moments in a game?

    Wow great thread! I am glad to see I am not the only one who screams like a 10-year-old girl because of a video game. I would have to go with the FEAR Ladder in the demo. I must have shat my pants and unloaded 3 clips into that girl, still shooting after she vanished. I only played the demo...

    e8400 gaming rig help/critique

    It looks like a good build?of course that is almost my exact build (well technically I just got all of the parts, the build will be coming next week). I went with the same CPU, MB, Case, and PSU. I have A-data 4gb (2x2) and the EVGA 8800gts 512mb. I ended up going with the EVGA 8800gts 512mb...
