    Forget apple and their dual-link DVI adatper, there's now a miniDP to DP cable!

    The reviews on the product page (link here) seem to indicate that the 1.02 firmware is working for most people. That's what I'm hoping is true, since I just ordered a MBP.

    Cheap laptop o' the week Acer $399.99 Best Buy

    Do you know if all or most locations carry them? I can't seem to find any on the site... though it could just be my zip code. The 4420 on BB comes out to $455 after tax for me. Deal breaker :/

    Theoretical question

    A friend and I have been debating this. I think most people (if forced into this situation) would take one route, and he has a differing opinion. I'm curious to see what ATOT would do. Here's the situation: You no longer have any assets or liabilities. You're earning $100,000 a year and...

    Setting up NAS on OSX, and backing up data on XP vs. OSX?

    I'm planning on setting up my Intel Mac Mini + an external HD as a NAS device. In XP, I'd just just have to assign it a drive letter. How would I do this in OSX? I have some valuable data on the external HD that I want backed up to my Mac Mini hard drive. What OS is better for this purpose? I...

    Canadian ID?

    Thanks. I was browsing through the CIC website and saw forms to apply for Temporary Residence but I don't think I get an ID card for that... do I? Yea, I heard you guys don't have a President either. How are things not in chaos over there? (joke, I know Canada has a Prime Minister) Maybe...

    Canadian ID?

    I have several other reasons but poker is the main priority. It's my main source of income and living in Canada will greatly affect how much I will be able to earn.

    Canadian ID?

    Okay, thanks for your help. I don't think that card will be sufficient, and even if it were, I don't know anyone who qualifies as a guarantor. It looks like my only option right now is to apply for a Permanent Resident's card (I think).

    Canadian ID?

    Is the BYID card accepted everywhere in Canada? Is the LCBO a government entity? If so, that just might be what I need.

    Canadian ID?

    I'm in NY now but I'll be in Toronto in a couple of weeks. What's the quickest way to obtain a government-issued ID when I get there? I need one to play on Partypoker while I'm there (they require a scan of a non-American ID). Is anyone familiar with the process of getting a driver's license...

    Shipping a computer system

    Sorry for the thread hijack, but I'm in the same predicament as the OP. Where does one obtain foam padding? Isn't bubble wrap bad because of the static it produces? What about removing the fan/heatsink?

    Hmm, I never thought of that. How much does it typically cost for everything?

    What's a good site to play Poker online?

    Among the poker sites that accept Americans, PokerStars is the biggest and arguably the best right now. They have excellent software and the best customer service in the industry. Be sure to sign up under an affiliate if you're going to, as you would be missing out on free money otherwise. I...

    Anyone in video production?

    I want to throw an event, film it and produce a DVD. I imagine I will have to get the participants of the event to sign something so they don't sue me. I will also have to hire camera/sound crews, an editor, and many other employees to make sure the event runs smoothly. Is anyone familiar...

    Anti-static bag alternative?

    So covering them with newspaper is close to 100% safe? Just want to be sure.

    Sorry if this is slightly OT, but are there alternatives for anti-static bags? For shipping motherboard+processor and memory.

    Complete ignorance

    Recently a long-time poster with over 7000 posts contacted me about my item in the For Sale forum. Although being reasonably close (30-40 min drive), he asked me to ship the item to him. I obliged, but told him that I don't do business on PayPal anymore so he would either have to FedEx me the...

    General question re: form factors

    Take two systems: in one, all components are ATX; in the other, microATX. What's the approximate difference in weight if everything other than form factor is identical?

    How much can I get for this?

    Where can I find a non-profit organization that's willing to come to my apt and pick it up? I posted an ad on Craigslist - what kind of proof should I ask for if someone inquires about it? What kind of paperwork should I receive when they come to pick it up?

    Hard drive problem

    It seems to be a problem only with a Chaintech VNF3-250 motherboard, and not with my Intel D850 motherboard. Windows tells me it wasn't able to boot properly the last time, but even Safe Mode will not work. It gives me a blue screen with a message like, "If this is your first time seeing...

    Best motherboard for a P4 1.6a?

    I'm running a P4 1.6A in an Intel D850MV motherboard, which is having problems now. After reading this thread here and some other reviews (googled), I see that the EPoX 4G4A+ is a big favorite amongst P4 1.6a overclockers. But before I order it, I wanted to see if anyone had more success with...
