    I need some help!!!

    The scanned images are supposedly the forthcoming (but officially unreleased) rankings. It looks like that text I saw was bleeding through from other pages after all. Oh well.

    I need some help!!!

    I have a hunch that these images are fake. I need some help from you guys to see if I'm right. http://img6.imageshack.us/gal.php?g=rank1j.gif For example, check out the bottom of 306kb. What is that really light text that is superimposed on the image? It doesn't appear to be from the...

    Stereo input mod

    @Sparky: I've always assumed that a significant amount of quality is lost in the transduction process. Maybe someone here can fill us in on the inherent limitations of cassette tape audio quality?

    Stereo input mod

    @jtv: Exactly right. I just put in a blank tape, and you can probably cut the reel so it never runs out. You could also cut the power to the tape mechanism motors, but then you lose your tape player functionality. The beauty of the closed-circuit stereo jack is that it lets you keep your...

    Stereo input mod

    @Xanth: That's an awesome idea, and I bet it would work well with smaller PMP's like the nano that would fit comfortably in an existing tape slot. Hahaha, imagine turning to your shotgun passenger and telling him to watch closely as you insert your nano into the tape player! The main...

    Stereo input mod

    For the longest time, I was content with burning CD's in order to make use of my fairly extensive music collection in my motorized carriage. But then my car started to look like a CD printing press vomited all over the interior... So, inspired by some fairly elite modders in some car...

    iPhone

    This is for those Apple aficionados out there: I've historically used the "manually manage" mode for my iPhone due to the size of my library. For various reasons, I'm considering switching to "playlist sync" mode. I'm not sure about these questions though: 1. I'd like the songs that...

    XP built-in backup software

    Also, if anyone is itching to tell me about a much better (and preferably free/low cost) backup program, feel free!

    XP built-in backup software

    I set up a daily incremental backup using the built-in XP backup program. It appears to run every day at the set time, but I have observed that the modified-at time-stamp of the destination backup file does not change. So: 1. Does the backup program generate any kind of logs or...

    Ruby on Rails Scalability

    Thanks guys. Crusty--that's what I was thinking as well, which is why I was curious what sites like Twitter that are having scaling issues have done differently. Thanks for the link, trex.

    Ruby on Rails Scalability

    I've heard a good amount about issues with the scalability of websites implemented on Rails. As I understand it, a lot of the scalability problems can be avoided by taking a "shared nothing" approach, which makes intuitive sense. Does anyone have any good input on this? In particular...

    Free note-taking software?

    I'm looking a simple and intuitive program for taking notes in law school classes. The notes will consist mostly of text with simple markup and the occasional chart or diagram. Any favorites?

    Network card resource conflict

    Wanted to update this thread for those interested. So I ended up sending the laptop back to Sony. They replaced a few more things, including the keyboard and the WLAN card (for the 2nd time). When they returned the unit to me, it was still showing the resource conflict. I sent the laptop...

    Network card resource conflict

    I called 'em... turns out it was, in fact, replaced. Still lost here.

    Network card resource conflict

    Yeah, that's it... It's completely possible that they did reuse it, despite the fact that they listed the wireless card as one of the replaced parts. Think the old card is causing problems?

    Network card resource conflict

    Sony Vaio VGN-SZ340P. The motherboard had to be replaced due to liquid damage. The miniPCI wireless card was also replaced.

    Network card resource conflict

    I recently had the motherboard and network card in my Sony Vaio replaced. Sometimes during POST I receive two "Resource Conflict - PCI Network Controller" messages. Why would this happen sometimes and not others? At first I was not able to see a common thread among the occurrences, but...

    Laptop hangs after being on for a while

    Thanks Rad. I'm glad you also think it's a thermal issue. I'll clean out the dust, reseat the CPU, and report back.

    Laptop problems

    Definitely loose connection. I have also seen the constituent wires come lose from the connector so you might want to check that. Good luck!

    Laptop hangs after being on for a while

    It's a VAIO PCG-R505 I opened her up and all fans (including CPU) seem to be working fine. When it hangs, it just freezes up completely--no mouse movement, HDD access light stays on if it was on when freeze occurred. Replaced HDD, but no luck. Again, it hangs even when I let it sit...

    any suggestions about the "insufficient memory" error?

    Backup software?

    I have an external HDD on which I would like to keep a mirrored copy of a folder on my internal HDD. Setting up a nightly batch xcopy produces memory errors (apparently this is a problem with xcopy). Additionally, it seems like a waste to re-copy even the files that have not changed since...

    Generate XML in Ruby on Rails

    I need to dynamically generate an xml file that can be requested by client-side javascript. For some reason, simply using the standard controller action with the template turned off is not working: I can browse to /controller/action to view the xml file, but the client-side javascript does not...

    Ruby on Rails

    Is it possible to render a template for an action not within the current controller? e.g., render :controller => 'different', :action => 'index' If there is both controller_name.rhtml and application.rhtml within the layouts directory, can I specify which layout to use (or alternatively...

    Paper Walls by Yellowcard (album)

    Just briefly it might be worthwhile to remind everyone that one of the great qualities of art and music is that beauty is, in many ways, in the eye of the beholder--it is subjective. Thanks for the input from those of you that don't like Yellowcard, but I don't doubt for a second that many...

    Paper Walls by Yellowcard (album)

    The violin is back--and it's great. This CD is much more like Ocean Avenue. Definitely check it out if you liked Ocean Avenue much better than Lights and Sounds.

    Paper Walls by Yellowcard (album)

    Has anyone heard this album? It's absolutely amazing. It really is the first album in a long time that I really WANT to listen to from start to end. When people ask me which songs are good, I just tell them, "Put it in and press play." You will really enjoy this album if you like: Jimmy...

    Good web developing forum?

    Touchpad Inverted!?

    I have a Sony Vaio SZ340 with an Alps touchpad. Windows XP Pro. Every now and then when I restart the computer or resume from standby (or hibernate), the touchpad is inverted!! A restart usually fixes the problem. There are no settings in the mouse properties for inversion. Any ideas...

    Competing DHCP Servers

    Alright, I can definitely accept that weird stuff will happen... although I have to admit, I don't see any reason right away why it would cause problems. Seems like everyone would just ignore traffic not on their subnet. Actually now that I think about it, it's been working fine for me...

    Competing DHCP Servers

    I know this is hard to explain... but I actually want them to be handing out addresses in different subnets. I don't see why that should cause a problem if the computers on the different subnets are not trying to communicate with each other and are using separate gateways. So from what I can...

    Competing DHCP Servers

    So I set it up... two DHCP servers in the same broadcast domain. One giving out 10.1.10.x Other 192.168.1.x Windows XP machine takes a long period of time to get an address, and 7/10 times it says the operation has failed (computer does not get an address).

    Competing DHCP Servers

    Great, thanks guys--you've conceptually cleared this up for me. Definitely would still like to hear from Spidey.
