    System clock is missing time

    The system clock on my machine seems to keep setting itself back a few hours here and a few hours there. It seems to happen when the computer goes into the power save mode where the monitor turns off but the computer stays on. The clock seems to freeze then, like if it goes into that mode at...

    Have you ever made it into the news on TV or in the paper? The best I've done is really short clips on the local news station, I had a 2 second close-up of me in a fishing tournament when I was like 10. I think I still have the tape we recorded it on.

    Freaking cough syrup companies

    I mean honestly, how much money would it cost to put a third letter in your expiry dates? I had some Dayquil today and the expiry date said JN/06. I mean, that's probably June, but still. JUN and JAN would make things a lot less ambiguous. Same thing with May and March. Not cool.

    What's the minimum space I need to install XP home?

    Ok, sound that used to work on my system now does not, and I think(hope) it's a software issue. Instead of reformatting my main 120GB drive, I just want to unhook it and install on my 8GB drive to see if that fixes the problem. Will that be enough room for just the OS? And would it even let...

    Onboard audio woes

    Excuse the non-technical talk, I'm not good with sound. So with the Asus board there are 6 audio connectors, 2 sets of three. The line out, line in and mic work just fine with everything, and are detected by the Realtek audio config program. The other 3 (for surround) used to work fine...

    Question about the year of the long ball a couple years back

    Remember that one year in baseball where the ball just wouldn't stay in the park? It was a huge deal and everybody was saying that the league was juicing the balls to draw a bigger crowd?
