    In device manager, it shows a yellow exclamation mark next to my 2nd 5800 and says device cannot start. What do I do?

    Is there a spiritual movement like agnosticism but that assumes higher intelligence?

    I was raised in a regular family (church once a year kinda thing), but allowed to believe whatever I want to believe, so when I discovered the internet as a kid, within a few years I became an atheist. Subsequently, I spent a good part of a decade walking around and thinking that I know...

    ATOT no likey StrongVPN? :(

    That sucks, considering this is where someone recommended it. I guess it's banned? Who can I switch to? I've also tried HMA but it's slow and overpriced. StrongVPN is fast, but banned. :( Also is there something more secure than just a standard VPN that I can use?

    So.. Chrome (and other browsers) can only translate to English?

    What if I need to translate to a different language? The best I've found is this thing: http://www.microsofttranslator.com/ You put in a url and it translates any language to any other language. But is there a browser, extension or app that does this automatically for all websites, like...

    Is $1k enough for a good projector?

    What do I get for that price vs say $1500 or 2000? I know a good amount about HT, but have never used a projector in my life. Tks! :)

    Arghh, I Lost my TV's power cable and no one carries it!

    Fml. :D Does anyone know how to figure out what type of power cable fits the Samsung PN58C540 plasma? I'd really rather get it somewhere locally, rather than ordering from Samsung and waiting god knows how long. The connector is a bit different than a standard power cable (like for a PC), so...

    Can anyone find the real nanobot video?

    A few months ago I saw an actual video of a prototype nanobot in a dog's blood stream. I don't understand why it's not all over the place, but I just spent 5 minutes searching and found nothing. Can anyone find it? It'll be worth it, I promise.

    Can I install Windows 8 preview on an XP machine?

    This is for someone else, and they only have XP 32bit. They want to try Win 8. Is it possible to upgrade from that to Win 8? If not, can you please tell me how to install Win 8 separately - perhaps on a different partition. But I'd prefer to just upgrade if possible. Thanks!

    Win 8 - wtf is this?

    The area I made darker are my normal icons. The light area are weird empty icons (I think related to Win Explorer) that keep popping up. If you click one, all instantly disappear, and then start appearing one by one again. Insanely annoying - how do I fix?

    Is Obama really a bad president?

    I don't know much about him, but most of what I've heard has been good. And yet a lot of people seem to hate him. What am I missing here? He looks like a godsend compared to the carnival of freaks running for president.

    Website running off iPhone app's backend?

    Well, so to speak. What I mean is that I wanna have an iPhone app (social networking category), so I need to get the app itself and the back-end done, but if I want a website too to work off the same script / database, can I just hook that up to the app's back-end so to speak? I'm just trying to...

    Video glasses - does anyone here use em?

    The new higher end ones (from Vusix, etc) are marketed as being the same as basically having a 75" LCD in front of you, and it's a "private" view with no outside distractions. It sounds really really awesome to be honest. Like playing games on that, wouldn't that be the coolest thing ever? Does...

    Any dog lovers here who like to travel?

    Why does P2P (uTorrent, Steam) cause mouse lag?

    Whenever either of these 2 programs are downloading something, my bluetooth mouse gets lagged to shit: really choppy, etc. The moment they finish downloading (or if I close them), it's instantly 100% fine again. What can it be? It's a fast machine and according to task manager, CPU and RAM are...

    So generally speaking, what's the consensus between you haxors?

    Can you get good security on Win 7? I know "good" is subjective, but... well, let's rephrase the question then: what's the best you can do with Win 7? And aside from using VPN, what, generally are good practices to follow? Aside from the obvious "have updated firewall + antivirus running at all...

    Diablo 3 beta - someone offered to sell me for $125

    I don't mind the price since I've been a die-hard Diablo fan for over a decade, but do you guys think it's legit? He says it's brand new and unused, and I can pay by PayPal so if there's any problem I can get my money back, so I guess it's more or less safe to do? I think I'm gonna take him up...

    Ha! And just like that the Windows Explorer search function breaks!

    All I did was add my whole drive to the index (I need the insta-search), and it worked beautifully and suddenly stopped. Now the search says no matches found no matter what I type in. How the hell do I fix that? o_O

    VOB files freeze after few seconds - any idea why?

    I have a few different ones, but the same problem with all of them: they'll play for a few seconds and then freeze. I can fast forward with the scroll bar to any point, but once again it'll freeze after a few seconds. Downloaded the K-Lite codec pack and VLC problem - same story. Helpz! :)

    Opera - how to autohide address bar & tab list?

Also, in the tab list, what is that annoying little left arrow button that groups tabs when you click it? How do...

    Ok, stupid question time (SSD)

    How do I connect my new SSD drive? The connectors on the drive don't seem to fit those on the laptop (see pic). I have 2 hard drive bays, and it does connect to the first one, but that's where my main hard drive sits. I need the SSD in this 2nd bay. Thanks! :)
