    Router issues with XBox Live... getting disconnected

    That has not been true for me thus far (other than I haven't updated my router firmware, but it didn't look like anything new had been released since I bought it). I can try and give it another go, though.

    Router issues with XBox Live... getting disconnected

    I am having a bit of a strange issue on my Xbox 360. Whenever I try to play Call of Duty: Black Ops or Forza Motorsports 3, I am kicked off of Xbox Live without explanation. It simply states "Disconnected from Xbox Live". If I go back to the Dashboard, it immediately reconnects without issue...

    forum breach?

    I'm just saying... some people act like this is a service that they are paying for or something. There is no need for professionalism, and if they want to inject a little humor in their announcements, or not give them at all, that's their prerogative on this PRIVATELY OWNED board. Serious...

    The Top 50 Worst Videogame Dialogue/One-liners Ever

    Same here... there are way worse lines they could've used from that game. A lot of it is way worse in context, though. Like, "HEEEELP!! HEEEEELP! HEEELP!" followed by "Thank you for rescuing me!" said in a nonchalant, almost jolly manner.

    How to kill "un-kill-able" processes

    Also, I know the SendKeys commands are getting "sent", because if I open a notepad behind the window and click it to bring it into focus before the alt+space happens, it sends the keys to notepad and the menu comes up.

    How to kill "un-kill-able" processes

    at command does not work... no change. I am currently trying a "SendKeys" solution in my script. I have it make sure the program is open and in focus, and then I'm trying to send an ALT + Spacebar command, at which point I could send an ALT + S command which will "Shutdown Zone Labs...

    How to kill "un-kill-able" processes

    By the way, is there some sort of "now" variable for the AT command? For example, at (NOW) /interactive taskmgr.exe

    How to kill "un-kill-able" processes

    No, I haven't. I assume it's got to do with keeping viruses/malware/spyware from closing the firewall software and sending goodies to an alternate location or something, but I'd think there's gotta be a way... I will look into the link you posted, thanks!

    How to kill "un-kill-able" processes

    No, I have not tried that one yet. I guess in my head I kinda figured that if none of the other methods worked, that one wouldn't either. :) I'll give it a shot though.

    3x Netgear NICs refuse to run at gigabit speed?

    Sorry, I forgot to mention that I have had the same luck with connecting with a straight-thru cable to a gigabit switch. However, there is NO selection to force 1000mbps at all. Only 10 / 100. And as I said, the user replaced the cards with a different brand, working like a champ. Using...

    Why are asian girls so hot

    I did not say that Asian girls were submissive... I said the STEREOTYPICAL Asian girl is submissive. :) I don't think all black people smoke crack and I don't think all white Christians are oppressors either.

    Why are asian girls so hot

    The stereotypical Asian girl, let's say Japanese... - petite - smooth-skinned - submissive if the facial structure is right = uber hawt! It's hit or miss though.... most are meh... but hot Asian girls are REALLY hot. :) IMO.

    Do iPods support long filenames? Special characters?

    I came to the realization that if I bought one of the larger capacity iPods (40 or 60 GB), it would serve just as good as a backup of all my music on my computer (in the event of a hard drive crash) as well as a portable media player. However, I am very picky about the organization and...

    ACK!! When RAID 0 dies....

    ACK!! When RAID 0 dies....

    Currently I'm using a demo of Active@ UNDELETE which is supposed to be able to recover data from lost RAID arrays. I currently have it doing a low-level scan which will probably take ~6 hours. Then it will try and recover anything that is 64kb or smaller (demo limitation, should be enough to...

    Yes, and as I said, I should've known better, but it's too late for that now... any suggestions on recovery without sending to a data recovery business would be very helpful :)

    As a last resort, trying to see if any of my fellow geeks have any ideas on recovering my drive.... Somewhat recently I backed up my boot drive, formatted and reinstalled Windows, and then reconfigured my boot drive to be two 40GB drives in an IDE RAID 0 (striping) configuration. Well...
