    Why do people wait until the last minute to cut you off so they can exit?

    That's absolutely true. The lane that is not merging has right of way. The merging person takes full responsibility if an accident is caused.

    Why do people wait until the last minute to cut you off so they can exit?

    I drive on the NJ Turnpike quite a lot and the worst-mannered drivers are always New Yorkers. I always cruise at 75 - 80 so I get in the left lane to pass and go as far right to cruise (most of the time I'm in the middle lane). The dick New Yorker will sit in the left lane going 65 or 70 (with...

    Quick Solidworks Question - create separate part from an existing part?

    No. Assemblies are to put together part files. What you should be doing is creating the individual parts. Then use the assembly to put all the parts in and create the mates. Btw, when you create parts, use the natural planes to help with your mates. Center your work and use plane...

    Totally new build - 670 vs. 680 vs. 7970 (which one?)

    Already got the 670 PE (as I said before he was very impatient and wanted everything ordered almost immediately). He also wanted me to get a case, so I was thinking about the Rosewill Thor v2. It got pretty damn good reviews here on anandtech and is decently cheap. What do you guys think...

    Totally new build - 670 vs. 680 vs. 7970 (which one?)

    Should I get two of the MSI 670 PE? Right now he will be running his 22" Samsung Syncmaster. Should he be able to run WoW with the 27" perfectly fine (that is his main concern). If he starts playing more demanding games, I will advise him to purchase another card (glad I got the Gigabyte with...

    Totally new build - 670 vs. 680 vs. 7970 (which one?)

    Thanks for the suggestions guys. I went with the MSI 670 PE for ~$400. I have also successfully convinced him to get a new monitor so I'll try to take him up to the nearest Microcenter (1 hour away) so he can take a look at some of their 27" IPS monitors. The warranty should allay any fears...

    Yamasaki Catleap Q270 27in 2560x1440 IPS LED LCD Monitor

    I've heard some people had issues with one of these monitors displaying the BIOS (the screen will not show the BIOS at all) and that would be totally unacceptable for me. Have any of you guys have that issue, or know which monitor it was that does this?

    Totally new build - 670 vs. 680 vs. 7970 (which one?)

    Yeah, I told him that his monitor wasn't a very good one and I've suggested others (mainly the 27" 2560 x 1440's since I want to see one in action :) ), but I've also asked if he wanted a dual/trip setup and he said no. I think I can get him to upgrade his monitor once I explain more about how...

    Totally new build - 670 vs. 680 vs. 7970 (which one?)

    Hey, I was wondering if you guys could help me out with a new build for my friend. He is currently having bad fps problems with some of his games (he has a 4800 series GPU, Asus Rampage mobo, a Q9650, and 4GB of DDR2 Ram) - mainly WoW after their latest update. I told him that I don't think a...

    Student gets Suspended for taking PIC of napping Teacher!

    There are an infinite amount of weapons at the disposal of students: almost anything can be turned into a lethal object given the right situation. So let's stop talking about guns, plastic forks, etc since they can all be used as a weapon, although some have certain stereotypes that make them...

    RANT: Wear Some Damn Deodorant...

    I'm Indian and I don't smell. Then again, I've been in the USA since I was 2 (I'm 26 now). It's not just the Indians though (although they do have a large precentage of bad-smelling people in the US); I've worked out with Asians, Europeans, Africans, and South Americans that all smell bad (and...

    How successful will Star Wars Episode 1 ***IN 3D!*** be?

    I hope that it will bomb. Not because the movie sucked, which it did so vigorously you think that it intended to do it, but because it wasn't filmed in 3D to begin with. Avatar was the only 3D movie that hasn't given me a headache while watching in 3D, primarily because it was filmed with the...

    What do you guys use to play MP3's on your computer?

    I hate itunes so I use winamp, mostly because, like Anubis, I am too lazy to customize Foobar. I have Foobar, but I don't like using something that I haven't customized yet.

    problem with mp3directcut

    Hey, I was using mp3directcut to cut a single trance mix into tracks. However, the time on mp3directcut is not the same as on the actual mp3 file. For example, I want the track to stop at 2 min 11 sec. On mp3directcut the same exact position is at 2 min 25 sec. Furthermore, when i played the...

    Your Favorite Audio Player?

    I use Winamp. The thing I loved about winamp was all the different skins to choose from. Are there as many skins for foobar? If so, where (besides deviant)?

    Best Torrent Sites?

    Private trackers are by far the best. Just remember to keep your ratio up and you'll be fine (i keep mine at 4:1). I'm trying to get an invite to TL, SCC, and revtt. I use demonoid, Supertorrents and others.

    SOLVED. PLEASE DELETE: No internet access, but I can connect to the router

    Hey, this problem happened about two or three nights ago when the power went off for a minute or two. I power cycled when I woke up and everything but my desktop was working perfectly. Here is my setup: Buffalo WHR-HP-G54 takes the FIOS signal. It is connected (wired) to my desktop, my...

    Need help Whr-hp-g54 tomato

    Hey, didn't need to do any of that. I rechecked the new router after waiting a while and it was able to connect to the internet (functioning as a modem+router). For the old one, I just disconnected everything, logged into it, changed the ip, powercycled, and then called Verizon to release it...

    Need help Whr-hp-g54 tomato

    Hey, here is what I am trying to do. I have Verizon FIOS, but I do not want to use their router. A couple months ago, I set everything up so that my Buffalo WHR-HP-G54 became the modem/router with the Actiontec behind it (it only broadcasted the guide menu for the TV). All was good. Recent...

    Delete Please

    I purchased a Buffalo WHR-HP-G54 and everything was perfect. Then comes the FIOS people with their own router. Now, I have my router hooked up to the ONT and I have their actiontec behind the buffalo. I had to change the router's IP since the actiontec's address is 192.168.1.1 and I was told...

    Endless Rebooting in Vista

    I hate you. j/k. I was hoping that wasn't the problem. Would I be able to just delete the RAID 0 array, create it again, install the OS on another of my drives (no raid this time), recover the data on the raid array using a program, put the data on my other drives, undo the raid array, and...

    Endless Rebooting in Vista

    Hey, I just came home today and found my computer in the midst of a reboot. I went to the bathroom, came back and it was rebooting again. I tried starting in all of the options (normal, last known good config, safe mod + networking, etc.), but it never gets to the Windows splash screen. I...

    Which router to get?

    Hey, thanks for the info. I looked at another person's thread where he was in the same boat (comparing the Buffalo vs. Asus) and he bought both. I think I will just go with the Buffalo, install tomato, and see how it all goes. My brother recently bought the linksys wrt54gl for his...

    Which router to get?

    So I've read some of the posts here for the past few days and I've limited the choices to the Buffalo WHR-HP-G54, the Asus WL-520gU, the Asus WL-500g Premium v2, and the ZyXEL X550N. Right now I have a Netgear WNR834M. I am running my pc (wired), my bro's pc (wireless on a WN311T), my bro's...

    What's a good program to delete locked files?

    I don't think either of those programs works on xp64 though. Process explorer hasn't found anything using the files or the folder being locked and unlocker just clearly doesn't do anything when prompted to. Are there any file unlocking programs that function not only in 32bit, but also in 64...

    Mobo Recommendation Please

    Hey I've been lurking around on this site (FS/FT thread) and ebay for the past two days or so. The mobo you gave me sounds really good so that has def. become the board I want. I've looked at the EP35-DS3R and the EP35C-DS3R. They are almost identical except for the fact that the "C" version...

    New SATA drive causing problems *Solved was Y cable not SATA*

    haha took me a second to get that :) It made me chuckle. Well after using the "old drive" for a few hours and it working perfectly I have come to the conclusion that it is fine. I also added in the "new drive" and once again, no issues so far. I think the problem lies either with the...

    New SATA drive causing problems *Solved was Y cable not SATA*

    I thought it was the old drive because of the following: 1. The same issue happened previously when I had 2 SATA's in RAID 0 (one of which was the "old drive"). I RMA's the other drive and the "new drive" (the one from Seagate) is the one I just put in. 2. The "new drive" is not even...

    New SATA drive causing problems *Solved was Y cable not SATA*

    I am guessing that you are talking about the old SATA drive. Goddamnit. Would that also explain why it transfers files normally to one of my ide's but can't transfer anything at all to the other ide? would it also explain why its clicking and making the powering on noise every couple of...
