    slower browsing

    Personally I use Camino ? has adblock/pop-up blocking, built on the Mozilla codebase. Will try the speeding up browsing to see if it helps, though.

    **OFFICIAL** Assassin's Creed thread

    360 version - my thoughts. Yes, I did get a few freezes (and since apparently there's a limited amount of space available for saving games, I got sent back to the beginning of the mission - not extremely frustrating in the slightest). Sometimes they were straight up freezes, but most of them...

    Watching TV on PC

    Just got a Dazzle USB video adapter and I'm wondering what the best software would be for watching full-screen video? It came with Pinnacle Studio Center but that's not really cutting it. Any good alternatives to look into?

    Dedicated OS "sub-version" or complete distribution for firewall?

    Can anyone point me in the direction of a distro tailored specifically for sharing an internet connection? I'm looking for a firewall, dhcp server and bandwidth management (it's a fraternity, I needs to be able to keep speeds constant across the network so people can still get hw done w/ online...

    Anyone own a Nokia 770 (the Internet tablet device running Linux)?

    Any word on VPN? I can't seem to find a portable wifi device that supports VPN, which is a must for wireless on campus.

    Ugh I just feel bad for that model. Looks like that's a pretty nasty rolled ankle, which I know all-too-well from personal experience

    Is this the fault of the iPhone - With poll!

    Again, why is it ONLY happening on Duke's network? You would think that it might happen somewhere else, and if it did it would be huge news (as the Duke story is) because it's about the iPhone. Read the /. comments for a more in-depth discussion, but I highly doubt a phone is sending out 18K...

    Is this the fault of the iPhone - With poll!

    Yeah, it's highly unlikely that only iPhones at Duke are the ones afflicted by this flaw, if it were a flaw in the iPhone. Chances are it's Duke's network.

    New iPods...WHEN????

    Some rumors have the update pegged sometime Augustish, if not pushed back to Sept. Sane people see this date as pure craziness, since Leopard is dropping in November and Apple does need to at least maintain the illusion that they give a damn about their computers. DonVito's estimation is...

    Bridge to Terabithia

    It's a great movie, for precisely the reason that it's not Narnia. I heard a lot of people complaining that the movie should have had more CGI scenes of Terabithia but that would go against the point of the story: it's all about imagination. It's a story about growing up and dealing with things...

    Customer complaint today

    I've heard worse complaints. One woman wouldn't give us her check number over the phone (we have an electronic check approval service) for fear that we were going to steal it. She had no problem, however, handing over the physical check (with the numbers in plain view).

    Here is an Iphone and ATT question for you guys.

    EDIT: *****, nvm. According to the AT&T return policy (here) you can cancel w/in 30 days and if you keep the equipment you just have to pay full price (and I'm fairly certain the iPhone isn't subsidized, so you shouldn't have to pay any extra). According to Apple, once it's been activated you...

    OSXphone

    Not really. I can't imagine how that would be very useful, especially with cordless landlines as ubiquitous/cheap as they are now. Also, when you factor in that a lot of people are ditching landlines altogether in favor of cell phones, I can't imagine spending time on something with so little...

    After iPhone, what's the next revolutionary gadget from Apple?

    I highly doubt it. There's no room in the digital camera market, and there's really not that much room for innovation/sexy design. I think the next major milestone is a true widescreen iPod w/ touch screen, but not for another year. There does need to be an iPod bump before then though...

    New - Zen Stone Plus

    PM the mods to ask them to delete the dup. But yeah, that looks pretty dang sweet, especially at that price point. Apple's gonna have to drop the price on the Shuffles, even if they don't want to. Superior form factor isn't going to be worth the extra cash. It could even cause drops in Nanos...

    Mouse Cursor Appears In-Game

    It's never a good thing to see a process show up twice unless it's svchost. Check your nHancer.exe. But yeah, I would close all of the extraneous processes before you start a game because it looks like you've got quite a few. It'd be difficult to diagnose based on a list that huge.

    Hard drive making clicking noises

    Uh, there's not really a question there, but rest assured it will crash. Mine clicked for a few months before it finally just died one day without warning. I would suggest replacing it before it has a chance to.

    which notebook would you rather have?

    Why the hell is she getting 2GB of RAM? Is she going to be doing simultaneous photoshopping/video editing on this sucker? Also, I don't know if I'd go for TruLife especially if she's got bad eyesight. The glare off of those can be murder. Seriously, what is she going to be doing with it...

    Best current Verizon cell phone?

    I'm loving my Samsung u740, which is the one that can flip either horizontally to feature a keyboard or vertically for the phone aspect. I do a lot of texting and e-mailing on the go so it's extremely handy, plus it's pretty dang thin (which is why I chose it over the enV, which seemed too...

    getting a new mp3 player

    If you're only listening to 3 gigs currently I would go for the Sandisk Sansa at this point. My brother's got it and while he uses it with with one of the media stores (Real, I think, 'cuz he gets a discount) and it seems like a solid player. As George Powell noted you could go for the HD-based...

    'New' System Build Questions

    Why would you necessarily need to RAID the second 36 gb raptor? If you're looking for more space you could just run it as a second hard drive unless you really need to back up your stuff for WoW and SWG. As for Vista 64-Bit, I don't know that there's anything wrong with using it in general but I...

    Mouse Cursor Appears In-Game

    What other processes are being run in the background? Usually the cursor appearing means that something else has taken attention away from the game (as you thought). Have you tried an anti-virus/malware scan? It could be that a system process/seemingly innocuous process has been co-opted. Also...

    Compaq presario v2000 laptop problem.

    Try disabling/re-enabling the device in the Device Manager and then installing the driver. It could also be that the reader has just malfunctioned and no longer will work properly, but let's leave that until you're sure nothing else could be wrong.

    Played with a 15" MacBook Pro with LED backlight today

    I agree, it really should have more than two USB ports. I use my laptop with an external mouse 75% of the time and have several thumbdrives (one for docs, one for work, one big one for quick file transfers, etc.) and it's a pain to have to keep switching them amongst the 3 USB ports on my...

    clicking my mouse once results in a ?

    Bad mouse perhaps? If it only happens sporadically you could check and see if it might be something like you have the enter key on your keyboard pressed when you click it, but it really just sounds like a bad mouse. Try unplugging your keyboard and clicking. And what do you mean it opens two...
