    My sister has a question for the ones who are knowledgable within the technological world

    She wants to know where she should look to find out about technology that hasn't come out yet, mostly in the fields of computers and cell phones. I reccomended Anandtech for computers, but I'm not really into that scene anymore (I come here for OT sometimes). Thanks to anyone who can help.

    Just broke my Mom's nano, I fear.

    Put it back in the case but it fell out :-X Trying to install the software, but the Nano won't format, nor will it turn off. Damn. She just got it today.

    Any truth to that "Mars Closer Than Ever" claim?

    My Dad got an e-mail that said Mars would reach its peak proximity to the Earth around August 13th. We're pretty close to that, and yet I notice nothing. Especially weary because the e-mail said Mars would become as visible and as large as the moon. It just doesn't make sense in my head...

    Friend Has Strange Medical Problem, Can't Diagnose With WebMD

    My friend started complaining of this a few days ago. He could barely sit on his bike, but it's progressed to the point where he can't even do that now. He walks with a limp. They hurt at the slightest movement. I haven't seen them personally, but he says that they aren't directly on the...

    In the really old days, how did shipbuilders bend the wood for the hull of their boat?

    I know today you can bend wood for a hull by steaming it or dousing it with harmful chemicals, but how did they do it in the days of, say, the 15th Century or earlier?

    I'm looking for the name of an old game.

    Sorry for the no-text before I used to play this game in 5th grade. It was incredibly fun, and I got really far, further than anybody in the whole entire class. I was just thinking about it today, and since I can't play modern games at the moment, I was looking for the game in question. As...

    Can't copy music files from old computer that are on a CD to new computer.

    I'm trying to move my old Shareaza downloads from my old computer to my new computer. I burned them to a CD, and popped the CD into my new computer. However, when I try to cut the files from the CD and move them to the Shareaza Downloads folder, it says that access is denied and that the files...

    I'm sorry to post like this, but I'm ready to explode.

    About a year and a half ago, I took up interest in building a computer. I was very serious about it. My current computer is eight years old, so I wanted to replace it for HL2, etc. I was ignored. My Dad said we would, but I suppose my Mom chewed him out for it, and I never heard of it again. I...

    Does anyone know when 3/18's BSG and SG:A will re-run?

    It's a tragic story. I got on the couch at 8 for the only TV I ever watch to a schedule(Well, 24 as well). The evening starts off decently, with a "decent" SG-1. I'm ready for SG:A and BSG, but somehow, I fall asleep. I wake up at 11:39. I fear the worst until I realize that it actually is...

    Socket 939, NF4, PCI-E 6800, or Socket 754, NF3 250, AGP 6800GT?

    Hello. I was planning on building a 754/NF3 250/AGP 6800GT system, but I was just over at NewEgg when Socket 939 and NF4 gained my interest. I've already done the calculations price-wise, and I was wondering if you could answer me one question. I believe tha you hate these kinds of topics, so...

    Trillian text-log issues.

    Hi. I've recently switched to using Trillian for all my IM needs. I have it set up so that all my text conversations, as well as other things, are logged in a specific section of my Trillian folder. Everything was working fine, but one conversation I had today abruptly stops in the logs. I would...

    The Millrose Games at MSG.

    I'm on a competitive track team, and I really wanted to attend the Millrose Games today, but I sadly could not. First off, my friend from the girls' track team could not go, and three other people from the boys' track team couldn't go either. Second, I came home to see my cousin who is from...

    Unsure of the quality of these two 19 inch LCD monitors. Also, a question about viewing angles.

    I've been dabbling around in the LCD market for the past week or so. I don't know what sparked my interest, but I would like to have a LCD as my monitor in my next rig, which could be built x years from now, where x equals a very large number. Anyway, after finishing looking at 17 inch LCDs...

    How would i go about burning a file, which is too big for a CD, onto a CD?

    Hey guys. I have a file on my computer that I would like to burn onto a CD. However, the file is too big and returns an error that the CD is too small when I try to burn it. There are only a few files that could be that big, so you probably know what it is. Is there any way to break the file...

    Simple question about LCD monitors with built-in speakers.

    I was taking a look at a few LCD monitors on NewEgg. There were a few monitors with great reviews, but they had built-in speakers. I don't mind the look of the built-in speakers, but I would mind it if you had to use them. So, that is my question. Is it possible not to use the speakers that come...

    Honestly, what is the better deal?

    A few questions about private travel.

    I've always thought of skipping countries when I grow up, just to see the world. Of course, while thinking that, I thought of ways one might get out of the USA to other countries. I probably will never do any of these things, but I figured I would ask. 1. Say I own my own plane and I have the...

    Looking for some a good band.

    Hey. I'm tired of most of my CDs, and I would like to buy some more. All I own is Dashboard Confessional and some Gaelic music, so I was wondering if anyone of you guys listen to music that is Dashboard Confessional like. All I'm looking for are some good acoustic guitar songs.

    Help with Shareaza.

    I'm pissed right now, so expect a cliffnotes like post. I decide to get rid of Kazaa, so I download Shareaza. The installation goes fine. I go to My Library and find out that I have nothing there. I expected that, because I just set it up. I look for the folder in which to put my music(Kind...

    Kazaa won't boot up.

    Hi. Sorry if this is the wrong forum, but I figured this qualified as technical support. Anyway, Kazaa won't load up for me. I don't use it much(Once or twice a month), but I wanted to use it today. It returns this error: Couldn't load library TopSearch.dll I searched with AVG and it found...

    Silver Praetorian vs. Black/Blue Cavalier 3. Now With Poll.

    Which do you think would be better, or which do you prefer? The Silver Praetorian or the Black/Blue Cavalier 3. The Praetorian has 4 fans and nice clean look. The Cavalier just looks damn good but only has 2 fans. I was leaning toward the Praetorian until I found out the price...

    Who won the team-of-five volleyball game last night?

    Last thing I saw of the match was the United States winning their second game(The fourth), and Brazil also having two. Obviously, the next game would have ended it(Best 3 out of 5). I was just wondering which country won the 5th game. Also, was that semifinals or for the gold?

    CoD freezes everytime I try to play. Never used to happen.

    I'm tired, so there is not going to be any structure in this post. I haven't played CoD in months and went to start it up a week ago. I play for about 3 kills worth and it freezes. I see it as an isolated incident and reboot. I start playing again a few days later and don't get past the 'Choose...

    That's weird...when did they change the nickel?

    Instead of the Jefferson Memorial(I think that's it), it shows a picture of two hands firmly grasped together(French and American), with the year 1803 over it and the words 'The Louisiana Purchase' over that. When did this happen?

    Lost confidence in building. Need some things cleared up to get me back on track.

    For the system I am going to build in 2 weeks(Maybe, I lost all confidence), I'm going to be using a Soltek SL-K8AN2E-GR mainboard. It has a nForce 3 250Gb chipset. I'm going to have an AMD 64 3000+, also. While reading the manual online, however, some questions arose. For one, I plan on...

    Kingmax HardCore PC-4000 DDR-500 RAM

    I've really been looking for this RAM, but only NewEgg seems to carry it and it's been OOS for the longest time, though. Do you know any places where it is available? I checked the Kingmax site and it said it is in mass production. I checked their official vendors, and like I said, only NewEgg...

    Can I use the MS-DOS shortcut that was in 98 in XP?

    On my sister's laptop, when I go into C\\:Windows and double click on the DOS .exe or whatever it is, the DOS won't work. It says my PIF file is wrong or something. Is it fixable? I thought I read something about XP not being based on DOS, but does that mean it can't use the shortcut for...

    Windows XP OEM - Would MS give me a hard time if I had to reinstall?

    Who had the worse(Or better, depending on how you look at it) paper launch?

    Who do you think had more of a paper launch, nVidia or ATI? I chose ATI just because you can't find any of their cards anywhere, and even on the main ATI site they are out of stock without an ETA. Edited with when we'll see release.

    How do I find out my Athlon 64's revision?

    Just wondering what a revision is and how I can tell which one I'm getting on my A64 when I buy it from NewEgg. Thanks. I think it may have to do with comparing product numbers, but even if that is true, I have no idea how to and no idea what revision is better. So, thank to anyone who helps.
