I'm currently in need of a niche program here, wondering if anyone has some ideas.
I have seen a few programs such as MouseJail that traps your mouse to one display or program when you want, in a dual monitor situation. Useful for gaming so it doesn't go all over the screen.
Anyone know of...
My 2TB hard drive has been hiccuping lately and I am getting a little concerned it may be dying. Video playback was starting to get choppy and just freezing with any video I played with that drive. (Seatools seems unreliable, the short DST's fail but the Generic tests pass for two of my drives?)...
Hello everyone, it's been a while since I built a new machine and have overclocked (from the first Core 2 Duo).
I recently bought an Intel i5 3570k along with an Asrock Z77 Extreme 4 motherboard. I also bought an aftermarket HSF for it, the COOLER MASTER Hyper 212 EVO, which seems to be...
Hello everyone, not sure if this is the right place but, I am trying to think of a way to turn my old monitor into a sort of media center for some of my devices. Basically the big thing is looking to hook my monitor for cable TV, however it does not have any coaxial input.
First let me clarify...
I am looking to pick up a new sound card to replace my Audigy 2ZS. I've had a few problems with it before and am looking to replace it now that I am getting some better headphones.
I have searched quite a bit and have seen two sound cards that people give high praise about: X-FI Titanium HD...
I am currently looking for some new headphones. My HD555's left ear went out and I'm looking for a new pair. I thought about getting another pair or maybe the HD558's but I wondered about going to the next series HD600. They are quite a bit more expensive but if they last a while I would...
I recently spilled some soda on my keyboard and have got it back up and working EXCEPT the space bar. There is a U shaped bar for certain keys such as shift, enter, backspace. All of them are the same EXCEPT the spacebar. (The U-bar is at the bottom instead of top like the others).
Yes, I've...
I recently got a new LG phone (Optimus) and am trying to find a good screen protector. They threw in some basic screen protectors (Writeright?) I find them to be a pain in the ass to apply properly. I went through 3 before realizing I was getting nowhere. A piece of dust getting stuck to the...
I have a friend currently developing an application. Currently she is using UDP and using the socket to identify what data belongs to who. However she is very paranoid about security. Since UDP is connectionless, the source address can be manipulated (if the ISP even allows it). So she is afraid...

Honestly, wtf.
TLDR version:
Pressured to accept plea deal
Two/four rapists go free on good behavior
Father gets longer probation than the rapists...
Microsoft Natural Ergonomic Keyboard 4000 (OEM)
If you missed the deal a few days ago at another place (like me) then this is definitely the next best thing. Usually is like $50-70, so get it while it lasts.
So after spending 4 hours trying to get a DVD made on Windows 7, I give up on finding a single program to do the job. I tried over 5 different programs, all either didn't work properly or didn't do what I want. Basically I just want to take any movie, whether it's DIVX, XVID, H264, or whatever...
I am wondering if there is a way to get whatever class created the instance.
Example:
How do I derive the class instance (or name) that created the x instance? In other words, if I was given the instance x, how do I get the name 'class1'. Using x.__class__.__name__ will obviously only give...
I have been using the Microsoft Ergonomic Keyboard 4000 for the past couple years and found it to be one of the best keyboards I have used. Unfortunately I spilled watermelon juice inside and need a new one. I really can't go back to the regular keyboards as it's more stressful on the wrist. The...

You know it's bad when the companies can't even pinpoint what is going on. Is it just me or has food gotten way out of control in this country? So many additives, preservatives, chemicals, and replacements it's a question as to some of...
I recently got a WD 1.5TB drive and it has been great so far. However recently there is a problem with videos where if I play them for extended periods (usually every 10-15 minutes) the video will just lockup for around 6-7 seconds and then it will fast forward and play catch up. I never had any...
This is getting really annoying. Basically what happens is randomly I open a game, or some program that puts load on the CPU, my microphone input gets completely jacked.
It sounds like there is massive static in it or choppiness. People will either call me fanman or robotman. It's just really...

I'll keep this short, went to the hospital back in November. While there they took blood. I got my bill a while ago and have been trying to get information on it. Basically there are two charges on the Pathology bill for the same thing (the most expensive thing). Now it's the same blood so why...
Been trying to figure this out, but for some reason my FPS is terrible when I play in Windowed mode. The only reason I can think of is because it's not switching to 3D mode. Full screen the FPS is great, otherwise no. Anyways, the core clock shows 600 in EVGA Precision and RivaTuner (for both 2D...

I have seen this being mentioned more and more in the news recently. About how we need a new world bank, or that a global currency is needed. If something like this were to happen, would anyone be against it or for it? If you are against...

I guess these are memos to the Pentagon from 2001 released recently. Although this is nice in that it helps us catch those pesky 'terrorists', I hope there is someone with me in thinking this sets a bad precedent. Kind of scary when this...

For those who missed it, it was discovered that the CIA deliberately destroyed 92 terrorist interrogation tapes. How fortunate for them no one will be prosecuted for it. Meh not like it matters, who cares about accountability or...

I'm surprised no one has been talking about this issue at all. It's turning into a huge crisis and only looks to get worse. For those who don't know, Mexico is basically at war with the drug cartels. You also know it's bad when a US...

Let's keep throwing money at it to fix our problems! What's a trillion every few months? This isn't even a plan, sounds more like delaying the inevitable. We'll need bailouts for the bailouts soon, and so on and...

I understand that Brazil is becoming a big car market, but isn't money being funneled out of the country a big problem? Outsourcing and so forth. I honestly would of thought a stipulation of the bailout would be to use and spend the...

$40.8 billion for assets valued at $14.8 billion? Someone made off like a bandit. I guess overpaying $78 billion more than their worth (in only 10 instances) will help prop them up to make them 'too big to fail'.... again.

IIRC 10,000 IndyMac depositors were told their funds were safe just before it went under. Some peoples life savings were lost. Talk about being lied to, I'd be furious and wanting these people to burn.
So... why has this not been posted anywhere?

All this from the New York Times is insufficient evidence (some 8000 pages) and warrants no further investigation? Nice. http://www.dod.mil/pubs/foi/milanalysts/

Lol. I hope they aren't talking about mass communication blocking, but due to them talking about a terrorist attack, I am inclined to think so (as they might not know the scope of where they all are). How does that even make any sense...

I am currently wondering what I should do lately. I have a 7600GS currently and am looking to upgrade to a newer card. I upgraded monitors last year to a 24" (1920x1200) and it makes me reluctant to try new games with this card. Because of the holiday season I'd figure I'd look into a GTX 260 or...

Funny how they failed to make a report within 4 years, and then removed the claims of safety on their website when they get slapped with a lawsuit. Is it just me or recently it just seems like the FDA is just useless and/or corrupt? It seems they are more...
