    Premium Services on Job Sites

    I'm deciding whether I should give it a try to a premium service on Monster.com or Guru.com, hoping to generate more responses. Monster charges $9/month ($16 the first month), and Guru charges $150/year. Would it be worth it?

    HELP: Recommendation on Standalone VHS to DVD Recorder around $200

    It's about time to do something about my bulky tapes. Picture and sound quality-wise, I'm not sure what I can expect with this kind of money, but I have a few questions about the setup though. A) Would I be able to connect the VCR as well as DVD to TV tuner card through VHF/UHF port? B) A...

    Blogging Tool with the Best Interface

    I once created an account at blogger, but was disappointed at their crude interface, and didn't pursue it. Other ones I visited, myspace looks nice. I'm wondering what your experiences are with different blog sites out there. :)

    HELP! Recommendation on Barebones

    I've just blown up two desktops in a row...can't even upgrade flash bios. I'm thinking of getting a barebone kit. (I don't feel like shelling out major bucks and wasting otherwise functional parts, and I don't feel like building one up from scratch either.) Tigerdirect.com seems to have some...

    Help! Recommendation on Print Server

    I am looking for a print server for my client's home network. I have used an SMC wireless one before, and it had to be physically reconnected to the router every time I rebooted the router, so it wasn't really "wireless" in a true sense. That's not too bad but I'm hoping to find out what options...

    I did try this, and yes, the problem went away. So, do you think it?s probably the router, too? :)

    Bottleneck

    Thank you for sharing your experience, Dragonbate. I just upgraded the firmware, and will see if the problem still persists. If not, I might as well get a LINKSYS wrt54g. I heard good things about that model. :)

    Bottleneck

    I have a broadband cable and a 4-node SMC Barricade router. What's been so frustrating with the setup is the bottleneck issue. The router gets jammed even when I download pdf files sometimes, which makes downloading files of a considerable size like multimedia formats practically impossible. Is...

    Reliable Motherboard

    I have a nonfunctional computer minus a motherboard. The machine started giving me headaches a bit ago, and the replacement motherboard wasn't even posting, and I kind of left it there. Now I'm ready to build it from scratch and get it going again, starting with the motherboard, and take it from...

    Fast Parental Control Software

    Thank you very much, JackMDS. I appreciate your help. I visited the page, and it was saying that it requires a certain router. Would it be possible to use the method of filtering at the router on various models and vendors too?

    Fast Parental Control Software

    One of our clients asked us for a web filtering system to control the porn-browsing situation at work. At first, we went with Net Nanny 5, but the program slowed down the connection to the degree that we had to get rid of it on all the stations. If you happen to know any better product out...
