I had a flat a couple days ago and I've since patched the tire but I have some concerns over the structural rigidity of it. Today I went to take some pressure readings to make sure that the tire wasn't leaking and the good news is that is isn't. However I did notice that the sidewalls had...
I just picked up an ipod touch second gen but it has ios2 on it. When I choose to upgrade in itunes, the only available option is io4 which I don't really want because of the horror stories about responsiveness/battery life. Is it still possible for me to go from ios2>ios3?
Thanks
Lately, my car has been vibrating if I put moderate-heavy pressure on the brake pedal while on the highway. The steering wheel wiggles back and forth and it feels like I'm driving over cobblestones. I'm also within a couple thousand miles of having to change the brake pads. So my question is, is...
I have a laptop IDE drive which I took out and accidentally realigned the connector incorrectly. I put the drive back in the laptop and booted up but nothing happened. I took a spare drive and booted up from that so its not something thats wrong with the motherboard.
Is there a chance that I...
I'm in possession of two 85w macbook pro chargers, one happens to be bigger than the other. Are there any differences between the two other than size/weight? Will the larger charge any faster than the smaller one?
I highly recommend it and I usually find most shows merely watchable but nothing as enjoyable as Better Off Ted. The Middle and Modern Family aren't anywhere near as fun to watch as this is.
I'm just trying to spread the word as there is a high chance its getting canned and I don't want to...
I've got a Pentium M laptop that maxes out at 1Gb ram and I would like to install RC7 on it but if it runs slowly ala Vista, I don't want to waste the time...
Right now, I'm studying for it and want to take it within a week or two. I've been half ass studying it for the past couple months but I've a few questions to ask for those who have taken it. My main question is how much does the official guide mimic the difficulty of the real GMAT?
A second...
I'm using a friends Macbook running XP though bootcamp and I've noticed that there isn't horizontal scroll on the trackpad. Is this normal? Usually in windows, you run your finger on the bottom of the pad and it will scroll horizontally and in OS X, you swipe two fingers horizontally for...
Right now, I'm interested in two printers. One is the Samsung Ml2510 b/w laser printer and the other is a HP Officejet 8000 inkjet.
The HP takes black cartridges that are "rated" at 2200 while the toner of the Samsung has 3000 page yield. However the toner also costs twice as much as the...
I'm constantly running out of ram and I don't know why. All I'm doing is running Leopard with Firefox with maybe 5 tabs open, iTunes, Word 2004 and Powerpoint 2004 and I'm always reaching page out status according to the activity monitor. I don't actually notice a slow down but its just that the...
I've been keeping track of this laptop since it was first announced a few months back. There are 3 sizes, 13.3, 14.1, 15.6 but they all are among the lightest/thinnest in their respective categories.
This review shows the 13.3" model lasting for ~8 hours!
I love the idea of the netbook...
I've had this experience with OSX on slow and fast hardware so hardware age is not the issue. Every time OSX is restarted, programs like iWork and Office'08 take ages to load. However once you quit and then load then again, its much quicker. Is there any reason for this? I'm not taking about...
I know that they can get pretty hot under load but how is the exterior casing itself? I know unibody models dissipate heat well even if iStat says the processor is running at 60c. They remain cool to touch. I was wondering if this was the case with the older generation design.
I ask as I...
I've yet another question about my PB G4 and its has to do with the processor. With just normal web browsing, it'll easily reach 60C at which point the fans will kick in. It'll reduce the temp to ~54C and it'll warm back up to 60C within a minute or so and then the fans will come back on and so...
I'm looking for a board for my Q6600 which supports underclocking and undervolting but I would like to keep the price as low as possible. Support for 45nm is a plus.
I was just going to recalibrate my battery yesterday so I was using it and when the battery reached 20%, the laptop shut off. Is this normal? I recharged it today and according to istat, it has a 66% health rating but it was up in the 90-100% a couple days ago...
Any recommendations? I'm looking to buy one to use as a "netbook" but the screens on netbooks are just too small for my liking. An optical drive is optional, the main requirements are low weight and large screen size. I'll probably be looking to but one off ebay
I've been reading threads regarding these majors and I'm just interested to see what everybody thinks. Obviously different degrees are more marketable at different times and sometimes a degree doesn't mean jack squat if someone is motivated enough but overall, what do you think is the most...
I recently bought a Powerbook off of ebay expecting it to be pretty snappy but I'm finding this thing to run like molasses. Its the last model G4 with 1.67Ghz and 1gb ram running Leopard. I had Tiger on it but it didn't run too well either so I tried using Leopard and the performance is about...
I never thought of this to be an issue but I recently put together a Q6600 cooled by a Zalman heatsink(the vertical flower ones) and the area around my pc gets noticeably warm. I've got a single 120mm exhaust fan and it runs at ~2k rpm. My Zalman is also running at full speed so the temps on my...
I know that with a faster access time, the faster an OS can get information off of a harddrive. However I'm not entirely sure what transfer speeds do. I'm sure that the higher the transfer speed, the quicker it is to write/copy files but does transfer speed have anything to do with a drive's...
I recently bought new tires and when they were originally installed, I believe they didn't balance them properly. The entire car would shake pretty violently at 70mph so I took it back and they rebalanced the tires. The highway ride is much better now except there is a wiggle back and forth with...
This is my first time building a computer and I'm at wit's end. I've tried everything to get my Samsung screen to show something but nothing happens. All the fans spin up and the leds light up so I"m sure its getting power.
The motherboard I have has integrated graphics and I tried using the...
I'm currently trying to spend as little as possible for my upgrade and definitely would like to use my current hard drives and dvd burners. I know Intel discontinued ide support back when p965 came out but what is the status of ide support nowadays? Can I just plug in my dvd burner and expect it...
I'm currently looking at picking up one of the above from similar time periods and it all boils down to the screen. Yes the MBP is faster and can run Windows but its several hundred dollars more. I already have many Windows machines at home so that isn't really an issue for me as long as a...
I have a leaking driver side rear tire which leaks ~1 psi/day and has been for a few weeks now. Is this something I need to address right now or is it okay to reinflate it whenever the pressure gets low?
I'm currently an undergrad working towards a BSBA in Finance at a big but completely unimpressive college(University of Central Florida). I could've gone to someplace much better but I didn't and I'm seriously regretting my decision but what is past cannot be changed so I must try and move...
I'm thinking of picking up a copy for my pc in the hopes that I can have a more snappy day to day experience. Is there any reason to stay away from it?
I ask this because lots of cars have similar displacement/power and similar gearing but how is it that some engines are much more efficient than others? I mean yes gearing does make a slight difference but if you drive an auto, the difference is even less as every auto will select the tallest...
I don't really know where to put this but I'm ask here since its a pretty general question. I have a Dell E1505 laptop which has an Intel 3950 wireless card, if I swap it out for another type, will i notice a difference in performance?
I ask because I'm interested in making a HackbookPro but...
I have a local BB which sells laptops "preloaded" with Geek Squad's optimization "package." Is it me or is this a bunch of crap? The buyer has no option of buying a laptop without it.
I thought this was commonplace knowledge 4-5 years ago but I thought that Nvidia had "caught" up with the 7x00 series but IMO the disparity still exists at least in my experience.
Granted I'm not using the most up to date technologies but I'm playing around with my pc and I notice a huge...
