    50pk DVD+R DL Memorex $29.99 + Free Shipping (Buy.com)

    It's hard to deny a good deal when it comes to DL discs but Memorex is simply junk. Low quality dye's = low quality disc. DO NOT use these to backup any of your critical data.

    DIR-655: widely different user experiences?

    I've had mine for about a year now and haven't run into a single issue. The only time I've had to reboot it was for firmware upgrades or router settings changes. * Using both wired and wireless with WPA2 enabled * 4-10 hours of use a day * Monthly bandwidth use (internet only): 200-250 GB...

    Possible to make keyboard macros on windows?

    It sounds like you're looking for something really simple so I have no suggestions there. I would however checkout AutoHotKey: http://www.autohotkey.com/ Take a look at their forums, you'll be amazed at the number of scripts out there etc.

    Home security/surveillance - best software?

    WebcamXP is excellent overall. You're right, the newer versions are full of issues. I had been using a previous version (4.7?) for some time and never ran into any issues. I upgraded and immediately went back for the reasons you listed among other things. Search the net for 4.7 or send me a PM...

    Need File Hosting Service Recommandation

    If you're uploading files to access at another location yourself, it's perfect. if you're sharing files with another person, they'd have to have premium services, otherwise there's a 'wait time'. There is no additional software required. Everything can be directly linked.

    Cable modems that support DOCSIS 3.0?

    With Cox being mentioned, I did some poking around on the Motorola 6120 and found: "I'm sure this is a very good product, but neither Motorola or Cox Phoenix are willing to help actually use the product, so unfortunately this review cannot be better. The Issue - This modem is not...

    Need help Purchasing a Modem for my 655

    I'm running the same router with the SB5120, never had an issue. I do recommend purchasing your own modem as Comcast will charge you monthly to 'rent' their modem ($6.00-8.00 I believe?). I'd recommend checking e-Bay.

    Small Footprint Antivirus

    As much as i hate to say it, Symantec's Norton Antivirus 2009 is great. They completely redeveloped it from the ground up and it shows. I guess customer feedback does eventually reach exec's.

    Best way to check for viruses/spyware

    You could take any suspected application and run it in a virtual machine first to see what damage it may do, if any. Be aware though as some of the new malware can detect the presence of a virtual machine and will seem harmless initially.

    How do I remove these files?

    Check out Autoruns or Process Explorer from Microsoft (previously Sysinternals). From what I recall one of them will allow you to disable to DLL from being put into memory on boot or remove the DLL from memory there by allowing you to delete it. As for the context menu, check out...

    Does NovaBackup encrypt the disc or what? It sounds as though it would just create it's own file and burn it to disk, no? What manufacturer made the DVD media? Things to consider: > Switch the DVD-ROM or DVD-RW to an older model > The dye in the burned DVD may have degraded to a point...

    Can two modems and two routers be used on one cable connection to your house?

    Sometime in early 2007 I ran into a very similar problem. I had Comcast at the time and didn't see a reason as to why they couldn't let me run a second modem with a seperate IP on the same service. After being told, "No, we can't do that." by 4-5 reps at Comcast, I called back and got another...

    [HOT[ 50 PK Memorex 8x DVD+R Double Layer Media $32.79 FREE SHIPPING!

    Joe Average gave facts in regard to these discs. Bottom line, these are junk. It's not so much whether they burn without failing, it's also about how long the data will remain readable on the disc itself. Memorex's manufacturer uses lower quality dye's which means shorter disc life. If you're...

    If you purchased it with a credit card, you have billing dispute rights. Contact your card issuer (bank) and ask for their 'billing disputes department'.
