    Zuckerberg to Donate $100M to Newark NJ Schools

    What makes you think the guberment would keep funding at the current level if this started happening? The first thing they would do is cut it. Do you think they would then lower taxes? Uh nooo that's not how it works.

    Dell on The Capacitor Issue

    As another poster already mentioned. A lot of manufactures were having capacitor issues during this time frame. I don't remember model numbers but Gateway was another big company having known issues. And this wasn't restricted to Intel boards. Sounds to me like Dell needs a better document...

    Bulletproof Phone?

    I highly recommend any responsible gun owner or non/moron with a gun owning friend stop buy your local computer repair shop and ask for an old dead computer. Find a private range or safe area and take out your aggression. It's tons of fun and an easy way to safely relive pent up technology...

    Bulletproof Phone?

    I think you should stop here. Or we will have to come up with something better to say than "your talking out of your ass without any real world experience" Your talking about the surface area of a .22 vs 9mm. And yes more surface area does allow the bullet to stop faster but the kinetic...

    More GeForce GTS 240 Info

    NOT true. I still have an 8800GT 512 that I would love to be able to purchase a new second card for SLI. 9800GT=8800GT=GTS 240 = no cheap SLI options for the future

    How can I convert from the standard USB header to non-standard? (pic)

    Its hard to understand what you mean by plugging it in backwards but that doesn't matter just make sure you have the correct pins in the correct spots and it will work fine. Match the pins where they are on the standard connector to the other connector. VCC=USBPOWER Data0/1- = USBD-...

    Razer Lycosa usb underpowered?

    LMAO ^^^^ Use either a POWERED usb hub or plug your hard drive directly into the computer. I'm assuming your external is the 2.5" laptop drive type and that your not forgetting to use the power adapter that came with the 3.5" drive types. Still laughing--

    DIY USB to RJ45 cable?

    NO and NO From Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/10P10C Another use is with APC uninterruptible power supplies. In this case, it is a keyed 10P10C plug wit a protrusion on the pin 1 side near the back, it serves only to make the USB connection to the PC incompatible, forcing users...
