    Preventing Windows screen saver and sleep mode during video playback

    It's irritating to change the screen saver and power settings in Vista every time I want to watch a long video. I use Hulu a lot, so it would be a convenience to be able to watch without interruption. How can I prevent screen saver and sleep mode while video is playing?

    Modem + Router Connection Issues

    I'm working with a computer which has recently switched to Comcast cable. The modem which was used before was a Speedstream 5100. The new modem is an Arris TM402P which apparently has no user configurable options. Apparently Comcast restricts access to the interface to combat piracy or...

    Memory Dividers

    As far as I understand, RAM communicates with the CPU through the FSB in most systems (I've heard that is not the case in nForce chipsets). If the FSB is rated at, say, 400MHz (1600MTs effective); then the maximum speed that RAM may be clocked at is 400MHz* (800MTs effective: DDRx-800). When an...

    How does transparency work, scientifically?
