    I can already see a hut called "beer and Rifles" ;)

    Drones Used To Deliver Drugs

    K1pp3r, I think that with today's RC modules, it's fairly easy to assemble a drone with a navpoint enabled gps guiding system :)

    Drones Used To Deliver Drugs

    What's the range of a quad drone, does anyone have an ideia? A battery operated airplane drone can stay aloft for about 20 minutes at a speed of about 50km/h, covering 16km (about 10 miles).

    Optical Mouse not working on white paper...

    Even if it seems odd, yes, for me it matters. I work on a laptop and usually I need to have all my desk filled with huge sheets of paper (large format ploted construction plans), so there is no space for the mouse, and even the computer needs to be put over these sheets from time to time. So...

    Optical Mouse not working on white paper...

    So the mouse supposedly works on everything, and that's the reason I bought it in the first place, but it doesn't work on a white paper. But even if it should work on everything and it doesn't, I should use a mouse pad. So it's my problem really, not the mouse's. Wow... I would expect that...

    Optical Mouse not working on white paper...

    I tryed on the store also, over a wooden counter and with another paper. Same result. Also, at my home the mouse worked on a white table, but not on white paper :confused:

    Optical Mouse not working on white paper...

    I recently bought a logitech M185 wireless mouse. It worked great, even on surfaces where my old crapy LG mouse would struggle. Then I realised that it didn't track at all when I used it on plain white paper. I tryed everything but still no go. I went back to the store and got a new one, same...

    Please help me change dedicated video memory on netbook

    I could try! But the result will be similar to just using a hammer to nail the chip to the mother board :D

    Please help me change dedicated video memory on netbook

    The thing even has a cover underneath with the ram symbol, but when I opened it got quite the disappointment as the ram is soldered and there's no slot :( As for the newer bios, it already has the most recent one. How can they think that it's a good ideia to sell a laptop with 1gb ram and...

    Please help me change dedicated video memory on netbook

    Hi! :) I was recently given an old asus netbook (eee pc 1015bx), it has a dual core C-60 1.0GHz APU, and 1Gb ram. I crammed an ssd and the thing is actually snappy! So for a given computer I'm quite happy with it :) The only problem is that the ram can't be upgraded, and the integrated...

    First SSD [840 EVO] - Am I Missing Something?

    About the cpu upgrade, I really doubt you will see any much difference. You have a 3.0GHz X4, assuming you get a 4ghz model it is only 33% faster... So assuming that something that is cpu bound takes 13 seconds to complete, it will take roughlly 10 seconds with the upgraded 4GHz cpu. Best...

    First SSD [840 EVO] - Am I Missing Something?

    btw: check this thread ;) http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1825117 Lots of happy costumers ;) My guess is that your machine was already very fast to start with. One of the fastest computers I work with is a 2 year old desktop on my parents house. I has a 5000rpm 2TB hdd, and that thing is...
