    Issues reading an SD HC card

    Got a 16GB card with pictures from a friend that needs some TLC. Tried two readers but neither will access the card, Win7 freezes when trying to access the card and Image Rescue 3 does not recognize it as a memory card. After a while, the menu pops up but the card is inaccessible. Tried using a...

    Is it worth replacing two Radeon 4850 video cards right now?

    My roommate wants to upgrade but I've told him there really isn't a compelling reason right now unless he wants DX11. He drives three monitors, one at 1920x1080 and two at 1680x1050. Currently he has a Core 2 Quad at 3.0 GHz at 8GB of RAM so those really don't need help. I told him if he isn't...

    Figured I might as well since I wasn't on any team. And considering my Core 2 Duo has already done 14% of the work in 1 month that my Athlon 3000+ had done over 1 year, I should go ahead and contribute the output somewhere!

    Storing a partially used inkjet cartridge?

    I want to switch out my black cartridge for a second color cartridge for photos so I can do 6 color printing, but should I do anything with the cartridge that isn't in the printer, other than keep it out of dust and high temps, ie. the normal stuff? Should I vacu seal it or something?

    USB cable modem and ICS to the wireless router

    I'm trying to help a friend with sharing the internet through the cable modem. Problem is, they have a USB cable modem. So I figure I should be able to turn on WinXPs internet connection sharing and hook the wireless router up to that system and it should still work fine, right? Obviously, the...

    Looking for a floor/desk lamp, geeky/cool/blue?

    After my old desk was infested with termites and mold... I now have a new desk with bluish glass and a blue LED computer case and would like a lamp of some sort to go along with it. Sure, the Dell LCD monitor is bright and all, but I need some light when it is off too! So, under $70 preferred...
