    Netbooks, typing and their popularity

    I've had an Acer Aspire One 10" for a few weeks, just took the test on www.typingtest.com, got 117 WPM with 95% accuracy. That's probably near what I'd get on a normal keyboard. I don't mind the 10" keyboards at all, then again I'm 21 and have fairly small hands.

    Starting MCSE desktop exam study, do vista or XP?

    As far as value I think the vista cert would be a lot better to have. If you have your vista cert, companies are just going to assume you know what your talking about with XP, however if you have your XP cert companies that are thinking of upgrading (or have already upgraded) might be weary...

    Partition vanished... (sick feeling)

    I'm pretty sure it asked me what I wanted it to be after it erased it. I followed the FAQ and it said to select Mac OS journaled. Also I can see the HDD in disk utility within windows, but the drive itself does not appear in my computer or when booting up from my windows CD. I am looking for a...

    Partition vanished... (sick feeling)

    I have a 250GB HDD and a 500GB HDD. My 250 has 2 partitions, one is 210GB and its where i keep my vista installation with all my data etc. The 40GB partition has an XP installation on it but nothing else. I wanted to put OS X X86 on the 40GB partition and dual boot with vista. I booted from the...

    Correct, however I called AT&T up before I shipped it and had them deactivate that SIM card from my account.

    Used SIM card question

    Guess I didn't clarify. I had the iPhone for 3 months, I already have a contract with AT&T, so technically im paying for nothing right now until the 3G iPhone comes out. I am wondering if I can simply use a phone with a previously used SIM and bind that SIM card to my account. Whether AT&T...

    Used SIM card question

    I sold my iPhone (SIM card included) off ebay just barely to take advantage of high prices and the new 3G iPhone coming out. I found a cheap used phone on craigslist for 10 bucks that has a sim card in it already. Now this sim card has obviously been used with someones account before (and most...

    Think I destroyed both by 3870s

    Had the same rosewill 550W psu die on me last week... luckily nothing else went with it. Decided to order a Corsair 550W. I will never, EVER skimp on the PSU again.

    Are you happy with your GPU vendor's driver support?

    I have owned a 9600XT, X800 Pro, 6600GT, and my current 8800GTS 512MB, and while I haven't ever really had a driver problem persay, I really wish ATI's hardware catches up soon because their monthly release schedule of rock solid drivers is something I really miss =/. ATI even got the naming...

    Weird no post ram issue, IP35-E

    alright this is a strange issue. I've been running 4x1gb for about a month with no problems. Yesterday I got an arctic freezer pro 7 and realized it didnt fit. I unplugged everything and took the motherboard out and took the northbridge heatsink off and sawed off the top blade. The freezer pro 7...

    Weird power on/off problem

    Just pieced together my new computer and I encountered a really weird problem... When I turn it on the fans and everything spin up for about 5 seconds then it powers off, and about 4 seconds later it powers back on by itself and posts and everythings fine. I unplug the power cable and plug it...

    why do so many people have dual monitors?

    The biggest reason for me for using dual monitors is I always keep MSN Messenger on the 2nd monitor, so when I'm gaming etc full screened, I can see whos trying to get a hold of me and whos online etc. The conversation windows popup on the 2nd monitor. Aside from that, the usual temperature...

    Strange power issues

    I turn my computer off during the night when i go to sleep. About 2 weeks ago when i wakeup and turn it on, the LED's on my keyboard flicker on for about 1 second and then no power. I have to manually flip the power switch on the back of the PSU, wait about 5 seconds, then flip it back and then...

    Ugh should I get Vista or XP for a new build?

    I've been running a 32bit XP/64bit Vista dual boot for the past 2 months. Vista is pretty rock solid right now aside from the few software bugs here and there. 2GB of ram seems to be the sweet spot. 4GB is a little overkill unless your doing some RAM intensive app's. I'd probably just say go to...

    Home Premium vs. Ultimate for XPS M1330

    QFTQFTQFTQFT I couldn't have worded that any better. I'm a dell tech support agent (actually at work now waiting for a call) and I've played around w/ their 1210/1330 for about a week here at work and if you're looking for a gaming notebook, look elseware. The only dell notebook I would buy for...

    P1130

    Yea its a sad world atm :( all the CRT's are dieing off slowly, its hit or miss how long buying a used one will last, but hopefully long enough until the next technology becomes standard, SED anyone?

    P1130

    Probably for higher resolutions, better colors/blacks, faster response times, and overall better quality w/o the hassle of dead pixels, banding, or backlight bleeding etc. On a side note, I've been using the p1130 for the past 3 years and I LOVE it. It's one of the higher quality 21" tubes...

    Windows XP / PC does not shutdown / power down - always

    I had the exact same problem start happening to me the past few weeks, I booted up into safemode and ran spybot/adaware and the problem dissapeared, hope that helps. Reasoning why this could cause it is the fact that some spyware apps running in the background may not want to shutdown w/ ur...

    Xbox 360 HD to PC?

    Um.. if by "true HD" you mean 1080i then yes, the VGA cable w/ the xbox 360 will not be "true HD", but 1280*720 (720p) is still HD. And 1280*720 on VGA looks a heck of a lot better then 1280*720 on component, thats a fact.

    I Want to Gouge My Eyes Out With A Spoon

    dunno if uve experimented with it, but if the problem is that bad, one cheap solution that comes to mind is sunglasses, u can get varied strengths so you could get some fairly week sunglasses that might help your eyes. That or one of those screens that go over your monitor to make it darker.
