By the way I figured out that the polk audio set is really a home theater thing... I need speakers for computer, actually. So scratch the polk. Anyway ... are *computer* 5.1 speakers mountable on walls or something? Particularly the satellite or rear ones, whatever you call them? I've never...

Welcome back :) Traveling, eh? That's cool, I like that (who doesn't?).

Well I sold a book, and i'm getting shipping reimbursement. And next to that there's also some kind of charge, apparently, because the total payment that I will be getting from half.com is lower... You can see in the screenshot... So what the hell is that? What does "Comm." mean, the title of...

Check out this blog entry: The Daily Background Exclusive: Belkin’s Development Rep is Hiring People to Write Fake Positive Amazon Reviews Some tech blogs picked it up like here on engadget Belkingate - as new evidence turns up, the company keeps mum - Engadget The first one is the...

Can anyone explain it to me? I have a SanDisk flash drive, and it always asks me if I want to keep U3 on this drive, and I always click "I'm not sure, please ask me later" because I keep putting off figuring out what it does. So can anyone enlighten me about how it works and what I can do with...

Hey well that cop is now charged with murder. And discharged from the police force, I think? At least he's getting justice now.

Here's one: Logitech Z-5500 Here's the other: Polk Audio RM6750 Which one do you think is better and why? I don't yet really understand what the specs mean, i don't know much about speakers. Thanks

Just an article I thought was a bit of interesting tech news from zdnet: Obama's new BlackBerry: The NSA's secure PDA?

Hey, if you want 4:3 aspect ratio, then I recommend a monitor with 1600x1200 resolution. You are talking about LCD monitors, right? Those are expensive, though, it seems. It might be hard to find one under 350. They're also sort of rare. The other good option would be a 1400x1050 resolution...

Hey, after a bit more digging I found this guide which talks about high and low density RAM. It says that much of the generic ram is high-density ram, which is designed "for used in slower server chipset/segment (Registered) which are not designed for PC chipset/segment (Unbuffered)", and that...

Ah. Okay well I'm not doing any overclocking... I just want to plow a bunch of memory into my old-ish comp so that i can play BF1942 w/o lag and w/o closing other apps. I'm definitely going for 2 sticks at once, as I have 2 dual-channel slots open. Getting 2 x 1GB (in addition to my single 512...

Someone gave me a link to this RAM: http://search.pricewatch.com/system_memory/ddr_pc3200_1gb-0.htm Take, for example, the very first one, for $13.23. That's super cheap! So my question is, is it worth it? Will this ram be worse than a name-brand stick of ram, like from kingston? Will this...

hm your link gives a 404 error

Hm, I just remembered this thread since I recently got a new monitor. You know what else bugs me endlessly about LCD's? The fact that even fully reputable companies like Samsung and every other one on the market, even after all these years since LCD's first came to mass market... STILL CANNOT...

Great, thanks RH. Worked like a charm, was done in like 3 minutes. Heh, Ghostman, maybe I can see why you dislike Nero, but I hardly ever burn things anyway, so I don't really want to bother. This Nero thing that came bundled with my drive seems to get me from point A to B in my burning needs...

I use avast and spybot. Yes, did scans, nothing.

lol, boys don't enjoy reading as much as girls? Haha, I didn't know this. And it says in the article that the "culture is such that it's still okay for boys not to enjoy reading" ... weird. Is this a British phenomenon? Is that British culture they're analyzing in that statement there? I mean I...

I have a .iso file. So, what do I do with it to make it work? I burn it to a CD, correct? I'm using Nero Express. So do I just select the data CD option and then add the .iso file? Like in the screenshot? And is that all?

Hm. Is your router reasonably old? Perhaps your new laptop uses a newer standard of wireless transmission that is not built into your router. You could most likely configure the laptop to use an older standard that would work. Only thing I can think of atm. Post what it says about the wireless...

wait, do you have dial-up or broadband? Also, do you connect to the modem wirelessly? Any wireless connections in your house at all? And also spybot wouldn't really protect against hacking, or not necessarily, it's mostly for adware.
