    Smart Card On OSX

    How can I lock my Mac with a USB pen drive so that I have to have the pen drive to unlock it? Any software programs to do this with? Or any built-in features I have with it that I am unaware of? I have only had a Mac Pro for 1-2 months. Thanks, Jesse

    Lost My Job = Time Available for Modding My PC

    I forgot to take a picture of the box. I've decided that I would try to custom build a case. Is there any grounding needed for it? I would like to make it out of wood, but I'm not sure how that would work. If someone has a better idea I would gladly consider it. I haven't done much modding and...

    Lost My Job = Time Available for Modding My PC

    Haha, yea, I'm hoping it will be worth it! That's why I'm trying to do some modding before I find a new job; time to relax and do stuff I wanted to get done but never had time. As for the pictures of the entertainment center, I'll get those right quick, is a picture of the front of the box of it...

    Lost My Job = Time Available for Modding My PC

    For anyone who says "Sorry you lost your job" or the like, I would like to thank you for your kindness first of all. Second of all, I need ideas on what I should do to my computer to make it look nice. I went out to Meijer a while ago (Only place open at this hour. Thank God they're 24/7! )...

    Earth Rotation

    If a jet is flying 700 miles an hour against the Earth's rotation, would it effectively be flying at approx. 1400 miles an hour? ( earth's rotation = 700mph???? ) Example 2: If I leave in an airplane flying from Detroit to London, how do I arrive at my destination when the plane is flying...

    Computer Slow as Molasses!

    Hey all... I have a weird problem that I really need to fix. I have an AMD Athlon 64 3500+ with 2gb of ram and plenty of hard drive space (4x200gb RAID5 into 1x560gb drive). I download quite a bit of stuff, so my hard drives have a lot of stuff on them, which is why I'm wondering if a good...

    Box to hold PCI cards?

    I like things to be very sorted out and clean looking and wouldn't mind paying or spending time to make a box to hold them, rather than just throw them in a box. I like the way things look when they're all nice and organized.

    Box to hold PCI cards?

    I was gonna do that, but I thought I would take a more careful approach to it so as not to damage them. :)

    Box to hold PCI cards?

    I have probably 10-15 or more PCI slot cards that I want to box up and save for later use, but I came upon this idea..... I wanted to make (or buy) a box with divider slots to separate them so I could fit them all in one place. Has anyone ever tried something like this? Or does everyone just...

    I was thinking about those 2, but nothing is mentioned about whether you can track just paystubs in it, or if you have to download all your data from banksites to it.

    In need of software

    I would like to take all the paystubs I have from work and input them into a database of some sort... I was hoping someone has already developed a software for this, so I don't have to use Excel. I would like to put all my information from my paystubs into it and have it calculate like a running...

    Nuclear reactor hot!

    Stupid Gateway ruined a sale for me too! They charge you tax on the DISCOUNT!!!!! I figured this out when I noticed $62 tax on a $500 system, and at 6% tax, it should be half of that, but with the $499 discount it added tax for it made it $62!!! WTF?!!!! How can a company charge you...

    Need HUGE Case!

    I need a case with like 20 5.25" drive bays.... Long story short, I have a raid array with 4 drives, another with 2 and another with 8, so that alone is 14 and I have a DVD-R, DVD-ROM/CD-R, a few other Misc hard drives, a zip 250, a floppy, and a wattage meter. I'm hoping I can find a good one...

    I want a handgun

    I really like the Beretta 92FS in INOX stainless steel..... I also was thinking about either a 9mm or .45 S&W, but not sure.... I like the 92FS A LOT!! I would like to keep it under $800, meaning that a Desert Eagle or even a Kimber are probably out of my price range. The other question...

    Dual Core, Dual CPU?

    I was wondering if money is no object, is there a place I can get, or is it possible to build myself a dual-core, dual cpu, (effectively 4 cpus) computer???? I just saw on Dell that they have dual-cores now, making it less geeky, but a DC-DCPU would blow everyone away! If I get a dual cpu...

    I have Windows XP Pro and I joined a local domain and ever since ( a few hours ago ), I have not been able to get the damn thing to start up!

    Too Many Bioses?

    The stupid manufacturer does not address this issue. I'm not sure what the problem is, but I can get either one working, just not both at the same time.

    Too Many Bioses?

    Anyone have any ideas an why this would be happening, or what the hell is wrong with the controller? It does not detect both at the same time, but it will detect either one by itself... wtf?

    Too Many Bioses?

    Funny you should ask.... It does make a long beep when the computer turns on, coming from the RAID5 card.

    Too Many Bioses?

    Well I have a RAID5 array running 4 hard drives, a RAID1 array with 2x250 and a bunch other drives not RAIDed, but the problem is, when I have the RocketRaid 1640 by Highpoint Technology installed in ANY pci slot, it makes the other Promise chip on my motherboard not work I'm guessing. There is...

    What .40 S&W Semiauto do I want?

    Warm: Seagate 200GB Serial $113 Tax Included at Dell

    You were getting ripped off because you used your *magic* time machine to go ahead 10 years in the future to buy it. Or wait, maybe you're just retarded and didn't get one for that price? LMFAO Dumba$$!

    SCSI Drive to buy

    Would I be better off going with a SATA Raid card? I wouldn't need that much space on my main drive, but I would want redundancy. My motherboard's (A8V Deluxe) SATA ports are all filled up, plus I got a ATA133 card with like 3 more available connections. I'm sure I could just take out a NIC card...
