    I'm getting pretty desperate here... I use Sony Vegas Movie Studio 6 for my video editing. I just got it, and im pretty happy with it.. all except for one thing. It does not read video clips from my digital camera... it only pulls the audio and not the video. therefore, i've been...

    Best way to keep a constant backup.

    if speed is an issue you could look into incrimental backups... where once you do a full backup, the next backup will only backup the files that have been changed/edited or added. hence making the whole process faster.

    Problems with starting up my own build.

    you sure you have the power button wiring set correctly? double check the manual. if so, i agree... doesnt sound like a memory issue, but it is always a good idea to swap memory out for known good memory... and even a power supply, for a known good one, so that you can be sure what your...

    Tiger Woods is a Jackass

    of course it's an option, that's why is tipping. if someone wants to tip they waill. if they don't, they don't. it's always been this way, as far as I can remember. you're wrong. it's not an option. it's an implied rule. why dont you try and serve a month and see how you like people...
