    What's the worst fragmentation you have seen?

    My work laptop died yesterday, so I was forced to use the backup to the backup. It ran very slow, so I dumped 15GB from the CSC folder and defragged. Upon reboot, Windows would not load. The C: drive was completely blank! Anyway, below is the defrag report. The MFT having 490 fragments is...

    Tire pressure questions

    About six months ago, I got 4 new tires from the tire guy near where I work. In October, my oil change guy said my tires were overinflated by 8 pounds so he let some air out. I might be crazy, but I think I have a vibration that has gotten increasingly worse since then. A couple weeks before...

    HOT!! Super Talent DDR2-800 2GB Single Module (1x2GB) $16.00 + ship

    What would happen if I used 2 of these 2GB sticks in a 32 bit Windows XP machine? I always hear that 32 bit can only handle ~3.6 GB. So would it cause glitches and crashes? Would I lose the minor boost that dual channel provides?

    My Z680 subwoofer blew while watching Transformers

    I do see your point about getting a better sub. My entertainment room is 18' by 11' with the viewing position pretty much in the center of the room. My previous setup had been adequate to my ears. But as I am audio n00bic and you are the Soundman I value your opinion. So if you say I would...

    My Z680 subwoofer blew while watching Transformers

    Well, I checked the fuse on the back of the sub. It was fine. Are there other fuses that can be checked or is the unit likely beyond hope? The sound card in my computer is a DIAMOND XtremeSound XS71DDL. So (correct me if I'm wrong) there should be no issues connecting to any receiver...

    My Z680 subwoofer blew while watching Transformers

    Thanks for the info guys. By blew I mean the sound went snap, crackle, fizzle and the closet where I keep my gear filled with smoke. Also, a very ominous hum began eminating from the sub. I will check the fuse tonight. The system is used primarily for movies and games via computer. If the...

    My Z680 subwoofer blew while watching Transformers

    Are the Z680 speakers worth keeping? If they are, I suppose I could get a receiver and new sub. The other option I am considering is a HTIB. My budget will be ~$500. I would appreciate recommendations from those who know more about audio than I do. Thanks in advance.

    Math/Geometry question

    This seems just like a horizontal curve for a highway alignment. R=(360/(2*pi))*(L/delta) R=(360/(2*3.14159))*(32.5/10)=186.2

    Game is final! Oregon 39 - Michigan 7. Another beating at home for Michigan.

    How has Wisconsin done against Michigan in the last decade? If Ann Harbor is a whore, what's that make Madison? A toothless gimp?

    I'm in for the E4400. Mwave even gave me a $10 renewal discount apparently because I haven't bought anything there in SEVEN years. I guess YMMV would apply.

    4th Annual Tax Thread - 2006

    This is kind of a general question. But, it could be considered state related, so I apologize in advance. Is workplace municipality defined as the A.) mailing address B.)the actual physical location or C.)the address of the employer as shown on a w-2? For instance the office where I work...

    If it's Ohio State vs Flordia Will All the Flordia People Eat Humble Pie When Flordia Gets Slaughtered

    We only know that Michigan is not better than OSU in Columbus. Home field advantage is worth something. Even computer rankings that give score predictions give 3 or 4 points to home team.

    If it's Ohio State vs Flordia Will All the Flordia People Eat Humble Pie When Flordia Gets Slaughtered

    What are these "facts" you speak of? And if UM doesn't go to the title game then they will be in the Rose Bowl versus USC. I would love to play LSU though. Then we could find out who the better conference is. OSU vs Fla. UM vs LSU. Wisc vs Ark. That would be a great slate of games.

    Interesting. I say it f-a-q and would swear I've heard it that way too. I would have never guessed that people say "fack." This thread needs a poll to find out what the consensus is.

    Best.Thread.Ever. I don't know which one I'm more surprised by. The number of people who think the plane won't take off or the number of people who still have preferences set to 20 posts per page. For the people who say the plane will not move what is your response to the roller...

    Watch March Madness free at cbssportsline.com

    Yeah watch the wording of their advertising. You can see all those games but not necessarily live. I tried watching some games at work but the games I wanted to see were blacked out because the local TV affiliate was showing them. After the game is over then you can watch it.
