    Indie 103.1 FM Goes Online Only to Retain Station's Spirit

    Oh, I fully agree with ya, don't get me wrong. I'd rather listen to terrestrial radio as I'm cruising along than internet radio. Just that as you said (and I agreed) there really aren't any real radio stations that're that good. It's a shame it had to come to that for Indie 103.1.

    Anyone using Windows 7?

    The RAID problems were just the showstoppers. This is only some of the RAID problems Vista had Link, and was only a small part of the RAID issues I ran into. In fact I am no longer sure if it isn't the drives... I am not willing to install XP in a RAID 10 setup to figure out if it is the OS or...

    Anyone using Windows 7?

    Considering that an upgrade of XP to Vista, even on clean systems, often resulted in a driver morass, random behavior, and huge performance penalties from stacked/redundant drivers impeding each other, I doubt an upgrade to W7 would be any better. They would need to completely change how the OS...

    Indie 103.1 FM Goes Online Only to Retain Station's Spirit

    Well, that's part of the allure for an internet radio station. Most tend to play songs you've never or only rarely heard of and always mix it up. And for those people that still want to hear the same old hits, there are stations that play just those as well. I also hear the exact same reasons...

    Anyone using Windows 7?

    Is anyone here having problems sending feedback to MS? Every time I try to send feedback it refuses to authenticate my Live ID as having the privilege to use their MS Connect service. I'm finding it sort of ironic, since I use the same Live ID as my Technet Plus account, which is what I used...

    HAF mod Water Cooling

    Glad to hear no leaks so far. Worst case scenarion would if if you add lots of heat to soften the tubes which also increases the loop pressure via water expansion, then set the pump to max... Always use clamps or something substantial to lock your hoses. I've seen people not use anything (or use...

    problem w/bios POST on cold computer....

    Msongs, did you update the BIOS like Rob mentioned? If this is a new board it might be the problem. Also it would help if you can list all of the hardware specs... again if this is an X58 board then it needs a BIOS upgrade. Some X58 boards like Foxconn are having PSU incompatibility problems.

    Anyone using Windows 7?

    Eh, screw public opinion. :) My strong dislike of the OS was well earned by the OS itself. I've had more issues with Vista than I did with XP (although that is partly because I didn't migrate to XP until SP1 was released for it). The more I use Vista the more tarnished I think it is, which is...

    Fall Processor Pricing - Finding the Best Bang for the Buck

    Well then, make a top 3 list of what is the most important for your laptop based around what you plan to use it for. Battery life, weight, portability, durability, and price are some considerations. Mostly, it depends what you plan to do with the laptop... ie gaming, lots of typing, rendering, a...

    Steve Jobs Takes Leave of Absence Until End of June

    Well, it really doesn't help that Steve Jobs IS Apple. Steve nor Apple never made any effort to show the public new faces or new people behind the company while he was running the show... so in effect Steve WAS the company. With him out of the picture there's nothing to fill his shoes or even...

    Palit Radeon HD 4870 Sonic Dual Edition

    Hypermemory is not actualy memory... it's "borrowed" memory from the system ram. Just because the GPU has 512MB doesn't mean it won't use hypermemory as well; GPU's have done this ever since AGP was around. I don't have an ATI card to find out exactly what panel you are looking at, but my...

    HAF mod Water Cooling

    BioHazard probably knows the nuances better, or ya could browse through a few million pages at the XS WC subforum too... Personally I don't think it matters much, as long as the reservoir feeds the pump intake and is placed level with or above the intake. Anything that runs cooler such as a...

    CoD4 Disp Drivers Issues

    If you suspect the RAM is overheating, do a Prime95 Blend run to test the RAM for a bit with the room a bit warm or case fans at a typical speed. If you get any errors then put a fan on your memory and repeat to see if they go away. Those Corsair XMS2 kits WILL overheat easily with 4 modules...

    My First Netbook Experience

    That was one reason I liked the Macbook Air. But there are plenty of laptops that offer 12" or bigger displays with 5 or more hours battery life that cost under $2K. MSI's X-Slim 320, Dell Inspiron Mini 12", Dell Latitude E6400... Gateway had one as well, but as they have much worse build...

    Intel Core i7 - Choosing the Best Memory Kit

    Be careful when taking Wiki information at face value. If you look at their source for this information, it is not the most credible, and also not current. Early motherboard testing showed some BIOS's only were able to run in dual channel mode, it was due to very immature BIOS's. Hence why Intel...

    Skulltrail / Vista 64-Bit problem?

    If this was XP I'd suspect it was because of how the boot.ini file was configured. But because Vista does away with that the only thing I could suggest is to check if the second processor somehow got disabled in the BIOS. Also make sure your motherboard is using the latest BIOS.

    My First Netbook Experience

    Well, all I can say is it is a netbook.. you don't want to be running more than three programs at once on one of those things! :D I will say I'm impressed ya got K-Ubuntu up and running on it so easily! I never got into the small screen craze, 12" is probably as small as I would like. Whether...

    Windows 7 to Bundle Popular Video Codecs

    I had to stop and think on this one, that's a really interesting point. Everything has mostly been positive so far... There have been lots of negative commentary about the completely new taskbar, apparently there isn't a way to tell if the box belongs to an active, running program or a...

    abit to Close its Doors on December 31

    Better products, no. Healthier companies, certainly. The automotive market is very satuated... not oversaturated, but pretty close in my view. The sheer overcapacity and oversupply by all three of the Big 3 was just stupid. There was a very interesting WSJ article... something about GM...
