    License Plate ID Help

    This morning a box flew out of a pickup truck's bed and damaged my front bumper. I have a dashcam and the incident was recorded, however, I did not get close enough to get his license plate number clearly and I didn't think to read it so the dashcam could record my voice. So far I've loaded the...

    Fish tank woes

    I'm at my wits end here. First I need to explain the back story: Back in August or September 2012 I purchased a 29-gallon fish tank from Petco. This isn't my first time with a fish tank, as I have been successfully running a small 10-gallon tank with two goldfish in it for nearly four years...

    Ashampoo Burning Studio 7.32 and Vista 64-bit

    Hey all, I've been having an issue with Ashampoo Burning Studio 7 ever since I installed Vista Business SP1 64-bit. I attempted to burn a video DVD (with prepared VIDEO_TS/AUDIO_TS folders) and it resulted in two coasters. ImgBurn 2.4.2.0 burned the DVD perfectly. I compared the two discs and it...

    Job/Career for a History Major

    I finally finished college this past June. I've been going to school off and on but for the past 4.5 years I cracked down and got my B.A. in History. When I first graduated from high school (back in 1998) I planned on getting a degree in Computer Science. After my first programming class I...

    Sonata I, meet Sonata III

    I'm not sure if this is the appropriate forum to post this, but I'm so freaking excited I had to share my joy with all of you! My last computer I built was back in April 2004, which I named Sonata (after the Antec case). It has undergone various upgrades since then, and at its final...

    Arctic Cooling RMA problems

    Let me give you guys a bit of history here before I explain my situation: I've purchased three Arctic Cooling products within the last couple of years. All of them have had fan bearing problems that developed about a year after use. The first was the ATI Silencer, don't remember which model...

    wash/clay bar/polish/wax

    My friend and I cleaned up my car this morning/afternoon, I think it took us about four hours to finish it. We started with a regular wash, used a clay bar on the hood, roof, and rear hatch, then used a two-stage polish/wax (AutoGlym). I brought my camera along to take some photos of the final...

    Canon SX100IS

    I'm looking to replace my Canon SD100 (yeah, old school) and I don't want to spend more than $250, so I was looking at the new Canon SX100IS. I can't find too many reviews on this camera so that's why I'm asking the experts about it. Lowest price I found was $239 at Amazon. What do you guys...

    I like boxes

    Boxy car, boxy phone! Well, my two-year contract was up with Sprint so it was time to get a new phone. I canceled my family plan (under my mom) and got a brand-new phone/service through my friend, who coincidently works for Sprint. He was kind enough to add me to his employee-liable account...

    CPU/GPU Bottlenecks

    I currently have the following setup: 2.6GHz P4 Northwood 2x512MB DDR400 Radeon 9800XT I'm about to get a 3.4GHz P4 Prescott (not ready to upgrade the mobo yet) and I want to know what's the best video card that won't be CPU-bound. Any ideas?
