    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?

    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...

    Anyone in video production?

    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...

    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...
