    RANT: I am a Mac User. I am not an Idiot.

    I dualboot Win 7 and Snow Leopard on an Early '08 Macbook Pro I got for $535.00. I still lean towards Windows-based computers in spite of that, and despite Expose I would have to say Win 7 has better Window management than OSX. Again, let it be known that I've only shared my personal...

    Isolated a problem, but don't know how to fix or bypass it

    There's nothing there that will allow me to do what I need. :(

    Isolated a problem, but don't know how to fix or bypass it

    every single one. I've tried going through the sleep/standby/hibernate options as well as the power options in control panel, and looked at the WLAN in device manager. Have I possibly missed something?

    Isolated a problem, but don't know how to fix or bypass it

    ...keep the computer from sending a piece of hardware into standby when I close the lid on my laptop? I'd like to keep this device running, but so far I can't find an option, a hack, or a setting that will allow me to do that. I've done a lot of googling trying to find something, but just...

    Bass Control Software?

    I am afraid not. I know lesser Logitech models do... the volume controller has a sub volume level, and i have it turned the WHOLE way down. The sub is still too dominant...haha

    Bad economy = Eating stray cats + dogs for food

    A lot more than the ecomony would have to go south before no one would complain, and even then there will be some people who would rather die than eat pet animals... Those people are beyond me. I think that if it came down to absolute survival of the human race, it would happen.

    Bass Control Software?

    I have a set of Logitech 5300e speakers, and my desktop recently bit the dust. I've been using them on my laptop, but my laptop is using a Realtek driver that does not offer any control over left/right/treble/sub, etc. Is there something out there that I could use to control the sub? It's a...

    An idea about Projectors and Sunlight

    That is exactly what I mean, and my conceptual use would be to channel that light into a projector for an easily visible outdoor projection.

    An idea about Projectors and Sunlight

    I have been trying to think of a solution that would reduce the amount of power a projector bulb would have to produce to displace sunlight in an open area, when an idea hit me that i would have absolutely no idea how to answer or even begin to research. Would it be possible to concentrate the...

    Owning vs. Renting.

    If you don't pay a prostitute, is that considered shoplifting?

    does driving slower really save you money?

    Same here. Saves on my brakes dramatically I've noticed. I think that the mpg you get makes a bigger difference than the commute time. If you drive a 30 min commute with a 12mpg beast, then I think it would be in your best interest to let off the gas. But, like the OP said, if you make more...

    From Macbook to Dell Latitude D630 - my head hurts . . .

    This is a funny thread to me, because I worked in an IT dept for a while that worked exclusively with the Dell Latitude 600-630 models (servicing about 2200 of them) until we moved to Mac notebooks running parallels/bootcamp with Vista and OSX. I now have my own Mac Pro 15", but I'd have to say...

    Remember OLD Defrag?

    I was defragging a drive at work today, and i started reminiscing about the old, graphically based defragmenter. I think it would be great if we had at least a screensaver of that thing. Seriously, what was more addicting to watch back then besides the little blocks turning color as they were...

    Dies when i let my foot off the gas

    I took a 450 mile trip yesterday, and arrived safely to my destination. But, my problem lies with what seems to be the idle speed. Ok, here's the deal. I checked the oil b4 the trip, and it didn't show on the dipstick. I didn't have access to oil at the time, so i got 150 miles b4 i stopped...

    Has anyone seen a letter UNscrambling program?

    Well, that's kinda what i was looking for, except that you could make a better word with a couple less letters with most of your entries. That web site has to use all the letters and doesn't drop any...

    Has anyone seen a letter UNscrambling program?

    you know...make the best possible word out of the letters tfcwufdpx, or a combination of a few of them. This would be ideal for cheating at scrabble i think, but i just wondered if there's something out there that would do the job. Does anyone know of such a program?

    I want to dye my hair WHITE.

    I have long desired for personal interests to dye my hair white. I have tried this once before, using 2 4oz bottles of 40 power bleach, and it turned out kind of a shimmering lemon yellow. I have dark brown hair, so it's going to take a lot of...whatever it will be...to get my hair white...

    Recovery Console Problem

    Sorry if I wasn't clear. I think i mistook the 'recovery console,' expecting it to be something along the lines of 'system restore.' Thanks for the link. I ended up going into safe mode and running avg and spybot and it seemed to fix the issue. That doesn't mean i know wtf the recovery...

    Recovery Console Problem

    So, my system will not boot because It is missing a .dll file, and it asks me to restart and run the recovery console from the XP disc. I do so, hit 'r' and all that, and it asks me which install of windows i want to log on to. I type '1', and it asks me to "Type the Administrator Password."...

    How to buy a pool cue?

    BF2142 will not connect to 'ea master server'

    I guess the only other odd thing is b4 the driver reinstalls, when BF worked, i had random, rare blue screens. After the driver reinstall, no blue screens.

    IDE devices in SATA system

    I may be misreading this, so I'll share the two things i think you're asking. 1. Yes, there are add-in cards for the grey data cables for your drives, so as long as you have a PCI slot, you should be able to use one of those cards no problem. 2. As far as power goes for your drives...

    Why is this card so darn expensive?

    Well how about that? look guys! an actual non video card for pci-e! is it just me or has pci-e really hit a brick wall? i never see cards for it, they're always in plain old pci format.

    BF2142 will not connect to 'ea master server'

    sorry didn't see the software forum. i'll call IT and see what's going on i guess. i do have a question. does http://www.canyouseeme.org/ check ports reliably? if there's ports open on my laptop using wifi that are not on my desktop (LAN line), can i open them and expect the game to work?

    BF2142 will not connect to 'ea master server'

    I've spent more than enough time with EA technical support, and i'm tired of it. When i first got bf2142 it worked fine on my desktop; i could log in with no problems. But, after spring break, i came back to my dorm and it wouldn't work. I installed it on my laptop, and it works FINE on...
