    Trying to compare 2 PDFs, all tools find no differences... need help

    I second this recommendation, there's a pdftotext Windows executable as part of the Xpdf package: http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/xpdf.htm Then you could use Beyond Compare or some other text diffing tool.

    someones using windows 95?

    Same, though mine's not hooked up because the motherboard died recently. I also have a Win98SE machine that's just sitting somewhere and never gets used anymore.

    FireFox Really Slow

    I usually have anywhere from 5-15 browser windows open, with several tabs open in each (so possibly 100-150 total tabs open). I've noticed that on my 16 GB laptop, whenever the firefox.exe process grows to about 2 GB memory usage, that's when it becomes very slow and sometimes just shows a...

    Some people really need to get a MacBook!

    I cannot buy another MBP after my bad experience with the 2011 model with the GPU problems. Even the replacement logic board had its GPU die after a few days.

    NEC 2490WUXi - The Full Story

    Anyone use this 2490WUXi monitor with a KVM? I have a KVM that looks at the EDID information from the monitor connected to it. Whenever I reboot a laptop that is attached to the KVM, the Windows desktop is shifted to the left by about half an inch. I have to switch to the desktop computer and...

    Do i need a anti-static wrist strap?

    So the consensus seems to be to just touch something that is grounded (like the computer chassis) every so often while you are doing your work. I read some web pages saying you should unplug the computer before doing repairs, but then the computer wouldn't be grounded anymore. Also, what...

    Is having more GPU shaders good for only 3D applications?

    I am getting a new laptop that offers the choice of the Nvidia Quadro K4100M and K5100M GPUs. The K4100M has 1152 shader cores, and the K5100M has 1536 shader cores. I've read that more shaders will improve performance for 3D applications such as games and CAD. But will having more...

    RAID controller isn't rebuilding array

    So the new RAID controller is able to rebuild the array. But there is an issue with Windows detecting it as new hardware even though the driver is already installed. When I booted up the computer after putting in the new RAID controller, the "Found New Hardware" dialog box popped up with the...

    RAID controller isn't rebuilding array

    I just replaced the cables, so it looks like a port is bad, but this is weird. Earlier today I had the good hard drive plugged into port 1 and the OS booted up fine. Then I took out the drive and just now I put it back into port 1 and the computer wouldn't boot up anymore (it said "Disk boot...

    RAID controller isn't rebuilding array

    I have a RAID-1 array on a desktop computer. The RAID controller is a 3ware 7006-2. Recently the controller has been reporting ECC errors from one of the drives. It was able to correct all of those errors, but I figured I better replace the drive before it crashes. I have successfully...

    Backup software

    I've never really used any backup software because I have a RAID setup (yeah, I know RAID isn't a substitute for backing up). But now that I have a few laptops, I want to get into the habit of backing up. Is there any software (preferably free) that has the following features? - Can run as...

    Are my hard drives OK health-wise?

    Is there any way to tell if I lost data? I see one of the SMART attributes is "Uncorrectable Sector Count" and the raw value is 0. Does that mean I haven't lost data? Also, isn't it possible for the drive to try to write data to a sector that was previously unused and find out it's bad and...
