Given how disappointed I was with the first 3 sequals, I'm not about to hold my breath in anticipation. The Fast and the Furious is one of my all time favorite movies. Aside from one extraneous scene where the skid plate blows off the car, I bought into it and enjoyed the whole movie. Too...

DDC/CI is one setting. It's not part of Win7. You will find in your monitor's setup menus. Not all monitors allow you to turn this on and off... Both mine do and I had the problem of the monitor suddenly going dark on one of my computers... That's why I mentioned it. You may want to take...

Ummmm... if gaming affects you to that level....

Far as I know... The boot sector is the same for both 32 and 64 bit installers. Bootsect.exe is a 32 bit program, even on the 64 bit disks. Have you actually tried running the one on the 64 bit disk from a 32 bit system?

Interresting article Rob... I can't disagree with your observations, as far as they went... However, there is another layer to the problem... Quality. I cut my musical teeth setting up and tearing down for a couple of bar bands, got to watch the shows and got a real good look at what...

In your mouse and video drivers you will find a power management tab... Make sure you check the box that says "Allow this device to bring the computer out of standby" (or similar)... There is an activity timer that is continuousely reset by mouse and keyboard activity. Depending on your...

Hope you don't mind if I jump in here... You do pretty much have to test these boards; especially the low end ones. You can filter this down a lot by looking for cards that specifically say they are rated for "1080p" which is 1920 X 1080 resolution at 60 hz vertical refresh. But it's...

Lasers are pretty easy... For the most part you just hook up the printer, install the drivers and use the things. The average "home owner" laser printer is maintenance free and cost has fallen off so dramatically it's actually cheaper to throw them out and get a new one than to service them...

At the risk of saying what everyone else is thinking... Yes... annnnnd????

LOL... thanks to you I don't have to.

And people wonder why I'm not a gamer. If I had to put up with some of the crap my gaming friends do, I'd be setting a world record for the most computers tossed out windows.

It's too bad about that gui crashing flaw, though...

People should be careful to differentiate between uTorrent and BitTorrent... They look a like, the work alike, they have similar features... however the uTorrent client is a small sleek, well written piece of software and BitTorrent is not. I have exactly 0 complaints about the current...

RIP Chris. Rob... you didn't identify which person in the photo is Chris.

Well, if we take my Remote Media project as an example... (and I'm betting you knew I would :cool: )... I'm putting something like 80% of my effort into getting the LAN based remote control server running smooth as silk. The other bits --the remote control itself and the share browser-- are...

I don't know in this particular case... but offten the "fork" comes from the two devolpers getting into a "fork you" kind of disagreement.... :D Really it's as often personality as progress.

60w is a bit high. Most are under 10w in their "off" state. Check it again now that the ground fault is fixed. FWIW, that might also account for the errors you were getting.

There are KVM type switches available for just that purpose... Of course you can move the cables back and forth, but that's going to cause a lot of wear and tear on the connectors... The thing is that by the time you mess with all the switches and fittings, you've pretty much spent the cost of...

To be honest, you should do the power bar thing anyway... Getting all your equipment on a common ground strap is the safest way of all. It doesn't have to be an expensive proposition... You can get a perfectly good 8 outlet bar at Home Hardware for under $30cdn Your power utility isn't...

I did. Thing is that I'm as comfortable in the command line as with most guis and since the gui tool merely invokes the command line tools in the background, I went this way. I put this up here because there are so many sets of instructions out there that require a lot of totally unnecessary...
