    Question about +12VSB

    This is in a Dell OptiPlex 9020 Minitower. My main worry is the +12VSB is doing something with the power to the mobo, and that I won't be able to turn on the machine without it. If it's just powering lights, I don't mind losing it. If anyone can think of a problem with using a boost converter...

    Question about +12VSB

    I have an OEM Dell power supply that I'd like to replace with something stronger. From what I can tell, the power supply has two 12V rails at 14A and 16A, which is fine. The problem is that the supply has a +12VSB at 1.67A, whereas all power supplies I can find online have +5VSBs. Has...

    AMD Delivers Its Most Powerful Professional 3D Graphics Card

    They're just aimed at different audiences. Workstation cards are tested to higher standards of accuracy / perform more stable calculations than their gaming counterparts. Do you care if one pixel of one frame in a 60fps first person shooter is the wrong shade of red? No. Do you care if...

    flash rescale

    Doesn't Flash just . . . do that? I've used Flex a couple of times, and setting an Application's width="100%" and height="100%" makes everything resize just wonderfully. Edit: It'd be helpful if you gave a few more details about what you're trying to do. Edit2: In Flex, is there a way to do...

    Hot or not? Mini 9 32GB, 1GB RAM $334 + tax/ship

    Is this a decent netbook? My ladyfriend is looking for a nice one that can "surf the Internet, do word processing, listen to music, and not weight a lot." How is the battery life on this?

    What brand makes the most impressive notebooks out there?

    Without reading the thread, I'm going to guess that 50%+ of posters have recommended IBM-now-Lenovo ThinkPads. Because they're awesome. They feel solid, they are solid, they're . . . ah, wonderful. But they also tend to be pretty pricey, compared to your Dells and whatnot.

    Creating a multiplayer client/server tic tac toe game

    Who would yell at you for this? Planning out a project before you start hacking classes and packages together is almost always a great idea. Like you said, you don't need to follow exact UML standards, but having some visualization of what depends on what will be very useful. Edit: As for...
