    Tonight's 24 ep. **Spoilers**

    I remember Mandy's friend getting killed cause they wanted Mandy to help with the next project and she wasn't too keen on it. My feeling is we won't see her friend who I think really is dead. Mandy we might see again. RishiS, when I said "the cop," I meant the black female officer who helped...

    Tonight's 24 ep. **Spoilers**

    Well it seems that most things have been taken care of, but there are still a few loose ends. I'm wondering what will happen to Kevin and any other remaining bad guys from the compound. CTU sent 3 helicopters, but we only saw one of them. The other 2 teams may have caught more of the bad...

    any ways to repair scratched crt monitor glass??

    Well, something similar happened to me. In my case though, it seems like the only thing scratched was the anti-glare coating. I can can feel the scratch on mine too, but I don't think the glass was scratched. I looked around but I never found anything that would work to fix the coating...

    Anyone have SyncMaster 950B or 955DF 19" Monitor ?

    I too have the 955df, and lately I haven't been so hapy with it. Initailly I found it very good as the text and images are sharp in comparison to my old monitor. How they compare to other monitors like sonys I don't know. I run in 16x12 albeit at 60 Hz. This doesn't bother me, but it might...

    MP3 encoding, how lossy is it?

    I hope this is technical enough. Ok, lets say you have a WAV file, We'll say it's at 100% quality. You encode it to MP3 (192k CBR, lets say). Now it's at say 90% quality (I'm just making these numbers up). If you convert this MP3 to WAV it will still be 90% quality. Now, what happens when...

    Printing PDF documents

    Keep in mind that the author of the PDF file can choose to lock the file so you can't print it. Personally, I don't see why you can't print up a copy under fair use ideas, but legally, you might not be covered. That's another debate. If the PDF is locked, PrintScreen is your friend, thought...

    Encryption resources

    I'm looking for websites that have information on how encryption works, specifically, the stuff in RC5-64. I need details on the algorithms used, reasons why brute force approaches take a long time to crack, some details on how quantum computers can break encryption faster than regular...

    I am a multitasking feind!

    << ...SNIP...#1: Excel, internet explorer, windows explorer, sound mixer, sound recorder >> You're using sound recorder? For some kind of professional level sound processing project? Why not a better brogram, like Sound Forge? Back to the OT, I do like to multitask too. 16x12 makes it...

    Spoil D2:LOD for me

    I don't have the time or the money to play Diablo 2 LOD, so I've decided to skip it and wait for a while before picking up any new games. I'd like you guys to spoil the story and ending of LOD for me, so I can keep up with the story line (in case there's a D3).

    Tactical Ops PLUG (UT)

    I must say that I agree. I have UT, but never got HL, so I never got into the whole CS thing, but now that I can play TO, I've been addicted to it for the last few weeks.

    1 volume mp3 question

    When encoding your own MP3s some programs allow you the option of normalizing the MP3 so that all the songs will have the same volume. If you're playing back MP3s, you'll have to either reencode them or look to apps like RockSteady, but I'm not usre how those affect sound quality, if they do at...

    IIS concurrent user limit/timeout issues

    I Installed IIS, patched it, blah blah, everything works, I can get to my website. After a while, though I start getting 403.9 forbidden errors cause too many people are accessing the site, even though I'm the only one accessing it. Apparently it's not closing the connections that I make. I...
