    Diskeeper 10

    The pink files are system's files that are in use, you cannot move files in use by the OS so they don't get moved and end up remaining fragmented. To defrag system files you'll need to schedule a boot time defrag and reboot the PC allowing it to run the boot time defrag. The kernel will still...

    Gas Prices

    I used to live in a refinery town and we were literally surrounded bu refineries on 3 sides and a deep water channel on the fourth. I was talking to a refinery hand one day when he asked me the question I posed here the other day and I was given a much different answer. According to the hand...

    Gas Prices

    I'll give a cookie to whoever can tell me how many gallons of gas you get out of 1 barrel of crude oil. If I've already told you the answer to this question, please don't answer.

    IceMat Black Siberia

    I've got a pair of Koss UR-40 headphones and they do not press your ears into your glasses at all. They're extremely light, have a webbed headband, are foldable, cover your ears rather than set on them and sound simply awesome. The sad part is they have no mic. If you want a great sounding pair...

    Brando USB Sunglasses MP3 Player

    Exactly, they need to be a bit looser and maybe have an adjustment to lower and raise the tension on the earpieces. Greg, I abhor violence and never use it unless it's my only choice :)

    4GB Trials and Tribulations

    It's too bad that SP2 screwed up 4 gigs for XP. It's odd you could get such good results with 4 gigs, the A8N32 won't OC at all with 4 gigs in it.

    The Un-official Jokes Thread

    Get the hint: A distraught senior citizen phoned her doctor's office. "Is it true," she wanted to know, "that the medication you prescribed has to be taken for the rest of my life?" "Yes, I'm afraid so," the doctor told her. There was a moment of silence before the senior lady replied, "I'm...

    The Un-official Jokes Thread

    This is good news?? This guy's at work when he receives a call from the hospital informing him that his wife's been in an accident. He rushes to the emergency room where he's met by the doctor. They sit down in the waiting room and the doctor, with a very solemn look on his face starts to...

    Overclocking my CPU and watercooling.

    The Apex Ultra is an awesome kit but many consider it a bit pricey. With the GPU blocks it tipped the scales at $380 (plus shipping) but the D.D. DIY kit was $326 sans shipping. Now, the D.D. kit did not have Coolsleeves nor a Radbox and the fans for it were an additional $40. So buying an...

    Zalman 9500AT Intel 775 CPU Cooler

    I can understand swapping out the fan for the Intel (since it's 4 pin rather than 3) but I don't see why they couldn't do a 4 pin LED fan so the Intel boys could have some bling like everyone else.
