    Adding FLAC support to MPClassic....

    I keep getting asked about this so I thought I'd post it here for everyone to try... Installing FLAC support in MPClassic... MPClassic has no internal FLAC audio file support at this time. It's not that hard to install but you do have to do it manually. 1) Download the FLAC codec from...

    Can Gaming Lead You to a Career?

    If gaming translated into real life --and thank god it doesn't-- I would be so screwed. My entire experience at computer games amounts to about 60 games of solitaire before I got bored with it and deleted the program.

    Need to Warm Up? How About a USB Hand-Warmer?

    Oh my... this is one for my "Technology looking for a home" list... If it's so cold you need a hand warmer, you can be sure your computer is also too cold to operate properly. Want to warm your hands? Go inside. Your computer will thank you.

    Running Blu Ray on my Customized Dell Dimension 3000

    Yes your computer should do a fine job with BlueRay. I have several friends who run BlueRay on Atom based machines running 1.6ghz, with the ION video chip and they handle it just fine so given that your system is easily twice as fast, I shouldn't think you'll have a problem. The video card...

    Managing Your Audio to Keep Neighbors Happy

    I'm glad you liked my little "how to". One of the benefits of this setup is that without sacrificing much in the way of dynamics and enjoyment, the movie is actually much louder... Which lets you turn the volume down, reducing the risk of wall penetration and the resulting annoyance to your...

    Apple Patents Forced Advertising

    I on the other hand get calls all the time asking me how to get rid of it. Round here, at least amongst my friends, this stuff is considered a bane on computing and viewed as overtly intrusive... hense totally undesirable.

    Apple Patents Forced Advertising

    This is soooooo very simple... Force me to watch advertising and I will throw your useless product in the garbage. Same thing with "adware" --advertising in software. You put advertising on my desktop and your software is GONE.

    Need advice on choosing a PCI soundcard

    Ok... first I would suggest you go and take a look at Jeff Glatt's MIDI site... it's packed with information about what MIDI is and what it can (and can't) do for you. Now lets turn this around... What exactly do you want this thing to do for you? Ableton and it's kin are not much...

    IDT Audio issues and Windows XP

    This one? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gnXVPwLLXHM You should see the ads on the CTV video site... "I said make it faster and they did. I Rock!" Interesting psychology in those ads. They are using the wild assed complaints about Vista and demands for improvement as a means to...

    SATA GH22NS50 Freezes My Computer

    Ummm... Gees I hate to see you out money for their screwups... I beileve the warranty on that drive is 1 year. The catch is that they may just send you another drive with the exact same problem. Will the store you bought it from exchange it for you? Most stores have a return policy that...

    Setting Up Wireless in Ubuntu is Hit or Miss

    Ok... thanks again... Actually, on that one machine I couldn't even see the icon, just a notice that proprietary drivers were in use. But then, without wireless it was never connected to a network... I probably should have run a hard wire over and let it chunk away at updates for a while...
