    Upgrading to Core i7, need advice

    Pretty much every review I see completely skips the 860 and 870 and only compare the I5 750 to the I7 920. Why are everyone ignoring the I7 8x0 ? Are they worth it in the end? Should I just go for the I5 750 if I plan on getting a 1156 socket and if I really want the I7 experience just grab a...

    Upgrading to Core i7, need advice

    Well, I saw a table with all the "flavors" side by side and saw that the vanilla P7P55D has less of pretty much everything. Less power phase [edit: it's only true for the LE flavor, my mistake], less connectivity, etc. I just wonder if my usage justify the need for more than what the base model...

    Upgrading to Core i7, need advice

    I don't really have the luxury to wait a couple of months. The longuer I wait, the sooner the baby is here and we all know that means the death of whatever budget you had for whatever that is not directly for the baby.

    Upgrading computer - Need graphic card advice

    I just want to point out that my motherboard is dying. I have to change my motherboard. So instead of buying a S939 mobo, I'll get the complete set. It's a shame I have to replace my memory but it's a necessity. And at the moment, WoW is struggling on my PC because I run it at native...

    Upgrading computer - Need graphic card advice

    After reading a couple reviews, I've seen that the X1950XT really is a lot faster. What confuses me is that it's around the same price point at my local store... I thought it was around the same performance. What type of X1950 card would be in the same performance category as the 8600GTS ? X1950...

    Those lovable Confidentiality Footer

    Some people take email VERY seriously. Some people in my organisation use confidentiality footer on all their email to ensure I don't have the "legal right" to forward their email, even those "yea, sushi would be good" ones. I'm looking to play a joke on these guys and include the longest...

    Everywhere I look this is the standard syntax for a loop. Why is it not working?

    Convert bash script to windows

    And to answer your question : 1- Yes the manufacturer knows about this. 2- The official response that I know of is : "Your camera supports up to 1gb cards in TIFF mode". I don't know of any firmware update or software workaround officially supported by Panasonic.

    Convert bash script to windows

    Hi, I have a problem with my FZ20 camera, 2gb SD card and TIFF pictures. Every time I take a TIFF picture with my camera on my 2gb card, it corrupts the file. This guy on Flickr made a bash script that cut out a 16kb block from the picture, "decorrupting" it but it's in bash. Can any of you...

    MAC OSX - Odd little things happening

    And you were helpful! :D I was not really offended, just a bit surprised. No hard feeling mate. I've seen a lot of little things that can't really be fixed in Mac OSX. What I think is a problem is not really the little quirks, it's the way people seem to think that because it's OSX, it's the...

    MAC OSX - Odd little things happening

    And for the record, the "I've not been using OSX for long" part means I used OSX for the past 4 months. A long time means at least a year in my book.
