    Gateway E-295C/C-140X Replacement Battery Voltage

    I got a Gateway E-295C laptop for school and the battery is nearly completely dead. Windows no longer tells me the battery life, only the percentage of charge and that it should be replaced. Also, I used the BIOS battery recalibration and it showed a charge level of ~2400 mAh while the battery...

    Diversity!!!

    pc propaganda? Oh, and by the way, this is not for school. I do learn math and science in school, but a topic like diversity in class would be cool... I think.

    Diversity!!!

    Whoever wants it can get it, so the age barrier is off (thought that it counteracts the idea of diversity). I am not asking for these as soon as possible, only if you could do them in your free time, so put this below the urgent stuff. How would I send it through a PM; would it be okay to just...

    Diversity!!!

    I am talking about the new generation. For example, I am planning on interviewing my cousin who is out of college, so probably anyone under 30 would work just fine. Thanks. Edit: I was looking at the wooden ship thing, so I found it on Wikipedia. I never saw Anchorman, but that is funny.

    Hello. I am part of this thing called the McLean County Diversity Project. Basically it is this group of students in McLean County (Illinois) that try to understand diversity and implement it in places. Anyways, we have this community project that we have to do about diversity, and mine was to...

    Windows Media Player 11 Install Error

    I recently tried to install Windows Media Player 11 (I know that there are better players, I use VLC but it isn't even 1.0 yet). Anyways, when I run the install file, everything goes great until the actual install process. When it is installing the Windows Media Format Runtime, it will stop at a...

    O&O Boot-Time Defragmentation

    I was a Diskeeper user for a few years until I heard about O&O Defragmenting. It supposedly was better, so I tried it and I use it right now. I saw that my pagefile was fragmented, so I enabled boot-time defragmentation to defrag all of the locked files. Every time, though, the last file won't...

    I HATE my job!!

    Life is difficult. Life also sucks and is unfair. The large amount of foreigners in your company is not their fault, partly because they do not hire themselves for a job. If you really hate your job, do something else that you actually enjoy. The funny thing is, imagine if you went to India to...

    hard drives vs flash drives vs hybrid

    Well if you look at NAND drives, the transfer rate is 62 Mb/s, which is a little less than a Raptor. Also, they are a fraction of the size of a normal drive (1.8 in) and have no moving parts, greatly reducing power consumption and heat. They are really expensive right now, but they would be...

    AMD Athlon XP 2200+ too hot?

    It's probably nothing, so I will run all of the recommended programs and decide on a course of action after that. Thanks!

    AMD Athlon XP 2200+ too hot?

    okay. So I have SpeedFan installed, but I can't really tell what temperatures are important, so should I install cpu-z and memtest86 to pinpoint the problem, if there is any? Also, if indeed the problem lies within my processor, could I buy a new heatsink and fix the problem, or would an upgrade...

    ATI Radeon 9600 Pro too hot?

    I have an ATI Radeon 9600 Pro AGP video card. I can play Command and Conquer Generals and Zero Hour, Guild Wars, Anno 1701, Sid Meier's Pirates!, Battlefield 2142 Demo and Deus Ex at the levels I know my PC can support. When I try to play Counter-Strike Source, a game that I was able to play a...

    AMD Athlon XP 2200+ too hot?

    My computer is not left on for a long time, but when it is, most programs become very buggy after 12+ hours. I read that a CPU overheating can cause this to happen, but I'm not really sure. On SpeedFan, my temperatures (I'm not sure which one is CPU) are under 50 C if I'm not using many...

    xp 2200 downgrade

    thanks man. My dxdiag recognizes my 2200 and so does my BIOS. Can you put an FSB higher than the regular, because I wanted to know if I could push it up higher to 200 Mhz or something. Thanks.

    xp 2200 downgrade

    So a few days ago I reinstalled Windows Xp after formatting both of my hard drives. I have a n AMD Athlon XP 2200+ with a speed of ~1800 Mhz. In my BIOS, however (my mobo is ecs elitegroup n2u400-a) it lists my processor speed as 1350 Mhz and in dxdiag, it also lists my processor speed as ~1.3...

    Where should the volume be turned up?

    Is there a guide where I can learn about all of this stuff? Thanks in advance. Edit: I guess my sound is good. Thanks for the advice.

    Hey dittoheads your god does it again....

    why would one encourage this type of "a**-clown" behavior? By posting his quotes, people will listen to him, and so the exact oppostie of the goal to stop this guy would be overruled. It's almost as if someone posted a picture of a guy doing really idiotic stuff, kind of like the parody of...

    I kinda skimmed throught this, but it got me thinking. My parents keep on pushing for me to be a leader and I really want to be one now. The fear that most people are talking about is the fear that has lived for a long time. So much stuff has happened during my relatively short lifespan that...

    Muslim Cab Driver runs over his fare.

    This kind of stuff makes the religion debate worse. It seems that when people are already apprehensive towards Muslim people due to recent disputes, some idiot has to stoke the fire and make it worse.

    Simpletech External Hard Drive

    So my dad went shopping at Office Depot yesterday for an MP3 player. We found this external hard drive for $50 and we decided to pick it up. We already sent the rebate, so we cannot return it, but if anyone has any experience or adive with external hard drives in general, that would be awesome...

    Where should the volume be turned up?

    I don't really know where this goes, but I'll put it here because it has to do with pc audio. I keep my speakers (Creative Itrigue 3800) as high as I want, the pc volume at very low and the program I'm using's audio levels down. My friend has his pc turned up all of the way. I think that I get...

    Anyone in here have Verizon DSL for their ISP?

    I have the actiontec bundle. The computer with the DSL is downstairs and two rooms to the right of the other computer in our house. I use the bottom one for getting demos and playing games, so I convinced my dad to switch the router and my brother has to use the extremely slow computer upstairs...

    How often do you have nightmares?

    Edit: I remember once I had this nightmare. After I had played Serious Sam: The Second Encounter for a while, I got used to the huge arenas with constant monster spawning. I had this dream where I was in a mall and outside was a barren desert, from which thousands of monsters were coming towards...

    Science Finding Ways to Regrow Fingers

    we talked about this in biology. Pretty cool stuff. What about the after effects, though? Imagine if the pig liver has a bad reaction with the stub and so not only are you in the hole one finger, but your nub smells like pig. That would stink pretty bad.

    Windows XP Professional Reinstall + 2 Hard Drive Backup

    I just bought a new external hard drive, on which the first application is to backup my files and to reinstall my operating system (Windows XP Professional OEM). I have two questions about those procedures. The first is that I do not have the CD that we used to install Windows XP on my computer...
