    Anyone here play Assetto Corsa? Shifting problem...

    So I've played a bit and set it up with a wheel, but it shifts automatically instead of waiting for me to press the paddle shifter. I play it on the LR tv from the dining room pc, and the wireless keyboard and mouse hasn't come in yet, so it's difficult to read everything without traveling room...

    Computer makes a sound when I stand up from my chair?

    The only things that come to mind as possibilities are that I have a webcam connected and that there's an Eco Light Sensor on the monitor. It's been doing it once in awhile for quite some time now. I'm using windows 7, if that matters. Can anyone help me figure out how to turn off the...

    Newegg REALLY has stellar service... also Haswell woes

    It all started a few weeks back when I ordered a motherboard from Newegg. It was a Haswell board, so it had pins in the socket instead of on the cpu, which is something I'd never encountered. Because I've built quite a few computers, I decided to install it immediately upon receiving it...

    Would you power a new build with either of these?

    I've got 2 PSU candidates of unknown age, possibly quite old: Power Man FSP300-60BTV (300W) <--Isn't this one an old Sparkle? OR Raidmax RX-380K (380W) I'm looking at a build with a Pentium g3220, Gigabyte mobo, IGP, one hdd, and one stick of ddr3. Would you trust these parts to a random...

    Where is there an online radio station that plays legacy and modern worship?

    I've set my alarm to one I found on Shoutcast, but it gets choppy as if there's more than just me that sets a task on their computer to run it in the early a.m. Anyone?

    WHAT has Newegg done to their searching system?!?!!!!!!!!

    It used to be so nice that you could tick different useful options such as the speed and amount of memory or a particular chipset that you would like to see in different motherboard brands. They have absolutely hamstrung the searching. Is my internet missing some pages?

    I know I'm not legal right now using windows 7, but...

    I bought a copy of windows 7 OEM and if I read the fine print at that time, I did not remember the details. I bought it because it was cheaper than retail and I'd always used OEM versions of windows prior to SeVeN. In order to use the 7 OEM, I'm required to install it using their OEM...

    Is it legal for a judge to command me to quit drinking alcohol?

    I received a "driving under intoxication" citation a few years back and the judge ordered me to quit drinking entirely (in a different state). Can a judge take my freedom in this matter? How about if I move to a different state? Does his jurisdiction extend to the whole country? Thanks!

    Why does my boss call me "sir" sometimes?

    It appears to happen more often when he wants me to work weekends or longer hours. Coincidence?

    What are some possible consequences of contacting the CEO of my company?

    As an employee with a supervisor and district manager directly above me, what could happen if I go around everybody with an idea that would most certainly save the company thousands of dollars? I'm pretty sure I won't get terminated...maybe just a stern talk. Thanks for your opinions!

    Anyone using ddr3 2400 (pc3 19200) with Asrock extreme 3 gen 3?

    I'm wanting to upgrade my ram and give my current ddr3 1600 to my stepson, but I don't know if 2400 will work. It only officially supports up to 2133, but on the asrock site, it lists Geil 2400 as working. Does anyone use Mushkin redline 2400 or G. Skill Trident 2400 (2 x 8 GB)? Thanks!

    What (free) security/antivirus and ad-blocking/anti-popup software do you use?

    Fixed my work laptop, but I'm not sure how...

    I was walking home from work, went in the back door and hit the door frame a little with my laptop. It wouldn't start up after that. I proceeded to ease the frustration and pain with a beer, then decided I should have a few more, call a buddy for advice, and tear it apart. Got it apart...

    My stepson just replaced his acer laptop lcd

    Just wanted to brag on him a little bit even though we don't always get along. He had another broken laptop with a good screen, so he watched some youtube vids and got to work. I was surprised that it actually worked! They're the same size lcd, but I figured the plug would be different...

    Why'd they have to botch it on me?

    I got a vasectomy 2 weeks ago and now one of my testicles is about 5 times too big. Doc said he had to dig around to find the vas on the right side, so it probably caused some swelling/bleeding. I read some stories about hematomas and stuff, but never thought it would happen to me. Why...

    Granger Motors tried to cheat me!

    I'd like to apologize to Granger Motors for any loss of revenue this thread may have caused. I had another dealership look at the car and they said the car needs a lot work done, too. I was upset and rushed to my conclusion. It was wrong to accuse you of being dishonest. I won't hesitate to...

    When did Hulu's commercial break get so long??

    I went to Hulu to check if a new Office was out (it was) and I got the message, "Sorry, we're unable to load a message from our sponsors." I use an ad-blocking hosts file. It seemed like it took a lot longer than it used to, so I checked at the next break exactly how much time it was...

    I don't think I have keystone jacks in my cat6 install...more like cheapstone.

    My electrician has caused me to question the quality of his work, so I took a wall plate off that he installed. He told me his helper wired all the jacks and the coax. He didn't crimp the ends of the coax, but that's a different complaint. So my question is where do I find a wiring diagram of...
