Media Player Classic Home Cinema started out as a fork from Gabest's original MPC project... They are code-alike to the point where both share common bugs. But the Home Cinema version won out because that crew compiled all the codecs into the executable making for a much simpler installation...

What you are describing is a ground fault and it can be potentially very dangerous to both your equipment and you. If you were to touch both computers at the same time you could take up to 220v, hand to hand... right across your heart... See the electrical safety information here The...

Aww GEES... here we go... can't keep nothin' a secret around here...

Who will look up their info? Employers, landlords, banks, ex-spouses, children, parents, inlaws, credit agencies... only the ones that matter. In fact, I know of several companies that ask for websites, facebook etc, right on their job applications. The reason people don't get the...

Did the test... "Your browser fingerprint appears to be unique among the 458,041 tested so far." Wow... now that's a surprise. Especially from a LAN you can't even ping from the internet... Of particular interest, it seems my Font collection (600+) was accessed remotely... Now that I...

Almost 15 years ago when the internet was still in it's infancy and Usenet was the big "social network" of the day, I posted some information that resulted from some activism I conducted with the Canadian Government. It was nothing especially controversial just some essays I'd written to...

LOL ... you back peddle better than anyone I've ever met! I figure it was a typo... an interesting typo to be sure... but a typo none the less.

I've been all over the net looking for a simple way to boot an OS install from a USB flash drive... Most of it was stupidly complicated and/or presented in a totally confusing manner.... Finally I just went my own way and here's what I came up with... 1) Insert the USB flash or hard drive...

Interesting blurb and not a bad idea.... Although I would offer counterpoint to the "Open Source" concept by pointing out that "branches" are often problematic as they lead to a proliferation of "nearly alike" copies of the software that each seem to carry their own set of issues. I think I...

Do they have WallabeeMart... err... sorry... WalMart down there? In Canada they have quite a selection of adaptors in their electronics section.

Hmmmm... obviously I don't find that as funny as you do... :eek: I think he meant "Pip"... which I'd accept as a compliment. :)

Well, this must be your lucky day... I found a picture of the power supply in a review on (ahem) another site... It's clear enough to read the specs.... It's 7.5vdc, 500ma - Center Positive .... (See Below). Head off to Radio Shack, Circuit City, etc. and you're all set ... take the...

1) According to the Turtle Beach website the HPA2 headset is powered from a USB connection. Just plug in the USB and audio cables and you should be good to go. 2) For DC inputs the case is almost always marked with a little symbol like the attached image which tells you which way around.

The short answer... (if you'll forgive me phrasing an answer as a question) Why bother to make any effort to learn when you can simply take advantage of someone else's generosity? As with any other skillset... it is all about attitude. If you go in with the bright idea that it's going to...

Had a look at the other two... the one about tech support is a classic. Of course I have a solution to that problem... Even my family pays me for the work I do. It's bloody amazing how well they can handle stuff on their own when the alternative is forking over a couple of $20.00s.

Another trick for systems before Vista... Go to your task bar, right click, slide over to toolbars, newtoolbar... Click and in the folder picker select one of your disk drives. Your task bar now has a pop up menu that will show you every folder and file on the entire drive, just like it...
