    [C] Output to Separate Terminal

    Hi, I'm writing a program in C on Linux and I need child processes (forked) to send their output to a separate terminal window. I have googled numerous times and cannot figure it out... I've tried opening /dev/pts/1 as a file stream and fprintf(Child_Terminal, "text"); But this does...

    Is there any way to do this?

    Is there any way to make it so that my PS3 does not scale the image up from 720p on my 1440x900 monitor? It looks like poo in that non-native resolution and I was wondering if there was a way to make it just use black bars with the image in the center.

    Don't know if this is a problem or not

    Ok, I was taking off my DuOrb to put on an Accelero S1 (tired of the noisy ass DuOrb). The DuOrb uses hex things with threads in the middle to go around the screws. I couldn't get them off with my hand and didn't have a wrench so i had to use needle nose pliers for some leverage. I accidentally...

    TV Tuner questions

    Hey guys, I have Windows Vista Home Basic and was wondering two things: 1. Can I use a TV tuner and watch TV without the Media Center? 2. If so, what is a good TV tuner in PCI interface (not PCIe x1 please) for $125 or less? Thanks!

    Getting aggravated

    Ok, rig is in sig, E2180 is running at 3.0GHz @ 1.39V, 300FSB (10x multi). RAM is @ 2.1 V (has to be; OCZ XTC) @ 900MHz 5-5-5-15 timings. Here's the stupid problem: No matter WHAT I do, I cannot run the FSB above 300. It's not possible... I have tried: -Raising RAM timing to 6-6-6-18...

    Is it possible

    My friends stepdad somehow nearly torched a surge protector with a multimeter. I don't know how... I wasn't there. So, SSIA I guess.

    New Motherboard

    Well, we put a new motherboard in my friends computer. It's fully functional, except: The mouse and keyboard stop working as soon as Windows loads. The keyboard works fine in the BIOS and boot menus. We would System Restore, except we can't get in even in safe mode because we cannot type in...

    Trying to decide

    Hey guys, I'm about to buy a new guitar. My last three guitars have been humbucking, far away from Stratocaster style. However, I've been eyeing a G&L Tribute Legacy. I know how good G&Ls regular line is, and people seem to like the Tribute series. I'm a bit skeptical. The guitar I'm just...

    Thinking about an HDMI switch

    I'm thinking about getting an HDMI switch in order to use just my PC monitor for my PS3 and PC. Is it acceptable to use an HDMI to DVI adapter from my video card to the switch AND from the switch to my monitor? Neither have an HDMI input.

    Anyone else having issues

    Ok, my DL/UL speeds are totally normal, but lately I have randomly started having huge ping spikes (from 50 to near 300) in games for no reason. I Googled and saw that other people with TWC are having the same issues. Is anyone here having issues that has TWC? I saw that you could do a...

    Speaker Question

    Hi, I recently bought an guitar amp (Crate V18) that I figured out would do well with a speaker replacement. It says it is an 18W amplifier, but the speaker I want to put in is 50W. My question is: If the speaker is the right impedance, does the wattage matter (as long as it's not ridiculous...

    WoW gone too far (W/POLL!!)

    Text Text and Text Ridiculous. I suppose I had already known about the Korean problems in the area of health that were caused by WoW, but I never really thought about realizing it first hand. We don't know who the kid is, but it's just weird (and hilarious) to see someone like this at the...

    Quick Question

    Okay, so I OCed from 3 to 3.2GHz and it wouldn't boot stable. I upped the CPU voltage to 3 different higher settings and still no dice. I upped the memory voltage, fsb, etc and none of them helped in any combination of increases. Then I realized that my northbridge voltage was magically going...

    Question about network speeds

    Ok, I've currently got a Toshiba PCX2500 modem and a D-Link DI-604 router. They both only support up to 100BASE-T Ethernet. Now, I have Time Warner Cable RoadRunner internet, which around here is fiber optic Gb Ethernet. I get D/L speeds of around 600KB/s which translates into around 4.8Mbps...

    OCing Question

    Okay; I've got some OCZ Reaper that runs at 2.1V stock. This had to be set in the BIOS with the RAM out of the computer in order to boot to BIOS. Now, if I get to an unstable OC and have to reset CMOS, will I have to take the RAM out and reset the voltage in the BIOS?

    New TF2 Achievements/Gameplay Elements

    Guitar string buzzing

    I just got a PRS Custom 22 that had a Wilkinson VRS100 2 point bridge installed on it. It plays great, but the strings buzz like crazy. The high E on the 12th fret pretty much just buzzes; it barely makes a noise. None of the frets are loose or anything, and they are a consistent height. The...

    Need some help with a new PC

    Alright, when I first boot it up, it runs POST fine. Then it runs all the stuff after that and asks to boot from the CD. Now, it doesn't matter with CD drive I have the Windows CD in or if I even have it in, it goes to some Novell Firmware thing and starts running tests. Then, it gets stuck on...

    Need for Speeed Pro Street

    Well, actually the only time I have issues is in Drag racing. You have to keep the tachometer in a green area, which is impossible to do with keyboard throttle. If you don't, it doesn't shift up, so I'm kind of stuck on these races until I get something to work. I don't have a steering wheel...

    Linksys Wireless Router Issues

    Who else

    I've begun to notice that I'm pretty bad at every RTS. Excluding C&C3. I can actually hold my own in that game. Usually when I get an RTS, I play in the campaign to get my bearings and then do a few skirmishes against the AI. I can almost always beat a medium AI, but hardly EVER a hard AI...

    So I beat STALKER

    Definitely one of the best games of all time. No matter WHAT ending you get your jaw will drop. When I first did it, I quicksaved before the Wish Granter and talked to him and it said "I want the Zone to disappear." Not quite what I was expecting to happen happened. Then I did the Secret Lab...

    BitTorrent download speeds

    Whenever I begin downloading a torrent (I make sure there are plenty of seeds/low leechers), the dowload speed hits ~250kbps, but then drops down to ~25. I have already forwarded the ports and all that, but that did not remedy the situation. Is there any way someone knows of fixing this?

    Interesting thing I found

    I just found this Powercolor X1950XT and I was like wow a single slot solution. Seeing as I can't run dual slot, I recently purchased a 7950GT over the Christmas holiday. Now, the X1950XT is much better than this card but also costs less/the same than the one I bought. Do you think I should...
