    Anybody have some 2-inch thick, rubber, harddrive packing foam?

    I just got a confirmation to RMA my busted Barracuda to Seagate, which I'm happy about because this 120gb drive has been sitting on my desk for the past 3 months. However, in the confirmation email, it says: I got this drive used off somebody in the Buy/Sell forum and it didn't come with this...

    Windows XP won't display graphic files correctly

    This problem randomly started about a month ago, I've been trying tons of fixes but can't get anything to work. Basically, I used to have it set up so when I view my folders (in list mode), the small icon of all the graphic files is the Firefox logo. That still works, all my images (JPEG/JPGs...

    Do I need to RMA my harddrive?

    I bought a 120gb Seagate Barracuda 7200.7 Plus used from some guy on here a few months ago. He said it's been working fine for him, I got a good deal on it so I didn't look back. It was working perfectly fine for me for about a month before I started having problems. Randomly it'll make...

    Would you ever get a tatoo?

    I'd get a little stick figure riding a skateboard probably on the top of one of my hands. There aren't any other cool spots I could think of getting one. It'd probably be little, maybe 1.5 or 2 square inches. Something like this: http://brian.cancerkills.net/tattoo.gif

    Nope, it's a plain old .pdf file. Nothing hidden. Just tried doing Save As, saved it with a new file name, sent it to an old Yahoo email address of mine and it still says it's infected.

    Constant buzzing coming from my speakers

    I'll try cleaning it out later today, I'm going to get some compressed air and hopefully that will do the trick. If it doesn't work, I'll try to find another set of speakers, worst case scenario I'll buy a cheap set for $5-$10. If I still get issues after cleaning and with other speakers, I'll...
