    Laptop info needed

    I don't think he said his brother was a "hard core" gamer. It sounds like he wants a general purpose laptop that can play some games and DVDs, and will probably last awhile. The lowest processor you can get on the zd7000's is a 2.66 GHz. Here is what I spec'd out quick for $1499 after rebate...

    Internet Explorer Won't Submit Forms

    Anyone else notice this with IE? On some web pages, when I click "Submit" to submit a form, Internet Explorer just sits there with the page loading status indicator moving, but nothing happens. It just sits there forever (no timeout). I've had this happen on two different computers (work and...

    Laptop info needed

    He said we was looking for gaming and DVD watching. It seems performance and an internal DVD player are more important than portability. It also depends if you need it for portability or as a desktop replacement. I don't know why everyone likes IBM laptops. I think they are clunky, way...

    Laptop info needed

    Well, everyone has their own opinion of what is the best, but I think the new HP zd7000 series is pretty sweet. They start at $1249, 17" widescreen display (nice for DVDs), and all sorts of other options. You can configure on at hpshopping.com to your liking. Free shipping too. HPs have the...

    Recommend a digital music service?

    I'm looking for a digital music service that has a large selection of music for $1.00 or less per song. I mostly listen to popular music. If I want to purchase a certain song I hear on the radio, I want there to be a decent chance I will be able to find it. Which has the most songs/variety...

    Peripherals

    I love Dell keyboards and bought a couple of them off of eBay for my custom machines. I also have the Logitech trackbacll with the side buttons because of RSI in the wrists. I can't last 5 minutes on a standard mouse without peircing pain shooting through my wrists, but I can mouse all day on...

    Good ASP.NET/C# tutorial book or web site?

    Thank you for the reply. I have tried their site. Unfortunately, their tutorials are in VB.NET, and I hate VB.NET. I'll learn it if I have to, but I much prefer C#. I know, language shouldn't matter, but it does to me. ;) Thanks, Daniel

    Good ASP.NET/C# tutorial book or web site?

    Greetings, Can anyone recommend a good book or web site on beginning ASP.NET using C#? I have Sam's Teach Yourself ASP.NET in 21 days book, but the code appears to be in VB.NET (*cringe*). I've also checkout the tutorials on www.asp.net, but they too seem to be in VB.NET. Yes, I can learn...

    what do you get in early bird sale?

    I got up early and got the $199 eMachine from Best Buy. I was in line or in the store for 5 hours! 80GB, 256MB, DVD, CD-RW. Only problem is our local store bulled a bait n' switch. The opened all the boxes, loaded a $50 Norton AV on them, and the tried to convince you to buy the machine with...

    Official Best Buy Ad is OUT for bf!!!

    I must be missing something, because when I follow the flyer link all the prices don't seem too hot. Like I know this or this can't be right. What am I doing wrong? I saw the leaked info, but I'd like to see the color ones. I don't know why Best Buy hides what they have on sale on BF. I'm...

    Linux-friendly RAID Controller?

    I was wondering if anyone could recommend a good Linux-friendly RAID controller with decent driver support. I'm currently using a Promise FastTrack 133 onboard controller with RedHat. I'd like to give SuSe 9 Pro a try but they do not have a driver for my controller. Does anyone know of a...

    Website with ASP/JavaScript Question

    Well, if you want to display the values from the first page, you can reference them as such: Name: <%=Request.Form("name")%> Address: <%=Request.Form("address")%> etc... Replace Request.Form with Request.QueryString if you're using a GET instead of POST. If you then want to save those...

    Need help with taming Internet Explorer

    Yeah, I'm not getting it in XPsp1+IE6 either, but if the popups are getting to you, you might try the Google Toolbar. It's swell.

    System rebooting instead of shutting down.

    I've seen this problem a fair amount of times in the forums. Often times it is because Windows is getting a blue screen error and 2000/XP are configured by default to reboot on blue screen. If you disable reboot on blue screen, you might be able to see the error message (if that is indeed the...

    The LAST modem I buy should be a what?

    Yeah, when I worked at Best Buy (sigh) people would constantly return modems of varying manufacturers because they said they couldn't stay connected. Assuming is was due to line noise, I recommended the USR hardware modems. From the little feedback and few returns I got, they seemed to do the...

    Cable modem

    FWIW, I had massive lag issues with my Linksys WAP11 router. Assuming it was a problem with the router (since I had one other Linksys that died about a year earlier), I upgraded to my D-Link 714P+ they seemed to go away. :/ One man's experience, though.

    Microsoft bluetooth keyboard and Mouse

    "Both operate in the 2.4 GHz spectrum and, thus, inevitably interfere with each other when used in the same place at the same time." If they're both on 2.4 I wouldn't be surprised if there are interference issues (not to mention your 2.4 cordless phones).

    Abobe 6 locks up opening web page pdfs

    I've seen a similar problem with new installations. Acrobat Reader likes to pop up a "Would you like to register with Adobe" or some similar message at first install. For some unexplained reason only the developers would know, it likes to change the focus so this popup is in the background, so...

    Original Networking Support thread for the unemployed

    Ok, so the IT industry sucks. I'm considering a change of careers, but I'm not sure what to get into. I know some things that interest me (mostly business related things, possibly accounting, etc, but I'd be open to carpet laying if that's the only good alternative (please let it not be)). I...

    CSS Layering Help!

    Perhaps I should elaborate. I would like to center the table and have the picture be placed over it regardless of the user's screen size. So absolute positioning won't work and I can't get relative to work. Simple example that doesn't work: <style type="text/css"> #one { text-align: center...

    CSS Layering Help!

    I have a project with a fairly complex design and each page is different. The basic design is a grid where the tiles are varying size and in varying locations as determined by the script. I could code it used some nasty tables, but the code would a) be wordy b) be difficult to change and...

    Good bang for your buck: Samsung ML-1750 A little more bang for a little more buck: Brother HL-5040 Cool multifunction: Samsung SCX-4016 I have the Brother HL-5040, and it's a rockstar. The Samsungs and Brothers both have great prices per print, and both have toner at your local office store.

    help me spend my money! poll

    I've found the digital camera to be invaluable for several applications. Do you sell stuff on eBay? If you buy a digital camera, don't settle for less than excellent photos! Otherwise, you might as well get a 35mm and an LCD.

    Need scanner recommendations

    I recommend the Canon LiDE 30 or the HP 3670/3970. Although the LiDE 30 is a convenient, small, and portable size, I've always loved the quality driver support and durability of HP scanners. If you're looking for something you can hide or carry, the LiDE 30 is great.

    IIS or similar with XP home?

    Oktoberfest. Chippewa Falls, WI

    I went to an Oktoberfest in Chippewa Falls, WI yesterday (the same cold arse place mentioned in Titanic). It was Midwestern humanity at its finest, sponsered by Leinenkugels. They had some good beer on tap and the German food was outstanding. When I made it to the "beer tent", which was...

    Shady ebay listing CHECK IT OUT

    Holy lord! Who in their right mind would pay that kind of cabbage with a money order?! I've gotten screwed out of a harmless $30 on eBay the first, and last, time I used a MO on eBay. There's NO way I would pay that kind of money without a way to back out. A credit card might not like such a...

    Alavert- (allergys)

    Where is Allegra? I've found that it works excellent, but I don't like paying for it. As an alternative, I've found if you take two tablets of Walmart's Equate Dayhist Allergy (Clemastine Fumerate) it works about as well and is a lot cheaper. I've heard Claritin is pretty good and Walmart...

    Which wireless router and NIC?

    I'd also recommend D-Link. Linksys sucks (I've owned two different Linksys routers that have flaked out over time, not to mention they're owned by Cisco which is bad in itself). D-Link gives good bang for the buck and their wireless routers with built in print server are invaluable. Also, if...
