    Digitally signed drivers required under Vista 64-bit?

    How do you know that your 64-bit drivers are unsigned? I can use a VeriSign account to sign a driver and still have Vista give me a message that the driver is unsigned. Signing by the driver provider and signing by Microsoft are not neccessarily the same thing. The driver signing requirement...

    podcasts not on an iPod?

    I've been downloading some Podcasts recently and I've asked the same question since I have an iriver mp3 player. Surprisingly, I was browsing my "My Music" folder when I found some sub-folders for iTunes and Podcasts. mp3 files of each downloaded podcast were in there. I don't know how they...

    How much are u willing to pay for the Optimus KB

    Uh, which part of my post was bullshit? The part where I said they were just for typing? Correct me if I'm wrong but I use my keyboard for pressing keys. Is there some other wonderfully orgasmic function that they can do that I'm not aware of. If the keyboard is critical to the productivity...

    How much are u willing to pay for the Optimus KB

    Here is an alternative: Keyboard Why would anyone spend more than single digits on a keyboard? They're just for typing. I could see spending a few bucks more for one of those old ones with the positive "clicks" but not for something with fancy keys. I'm still using the keyboard that came...

    free x cad software deal

    A parametric solid modeler being given away by a company that doesn't even want to be known. A company that has the resources to write this software but they still need to sell ad space on their web site. Even if this thing is legit, it doesn't sound like this software is going to replace my...

    need help for setting up lan cafe. please help thx

    coolazn, Go to your local library and check out as many books as you can on how to write a business plan. Asking a lot of computer related questions is great but I get the impression that you lack basic management skills. That will torpedo your business faster than anything else. Ask...

    A discussion about buying computer hardware online and identity theft...

    For what it's worth... My wife's credit card company called earlier this year telling us that there were some unusual charges on the card. Turns out someone got the number and bought some crap over the internet. When all was said and done we weren't liable for the costs which were less than...

    The cost of XP Pro.

    Yes. You have listed some good examples of Marxist ideology in our society. But, back to the topic at hand.

    The cost of XP Pro.

    Responding to your tangent, Communism is UNfair because it takes away from those of superior ability and gives to those of inferior ability. There is no personal incentive to work hard under communism because any extra that you produce will be given to those that haven't produced. If human...

    What kind of computer did you have when you were a lil'kid?

    IBM PCjr. The standard one came with 64KB of RAM but this one had been expanded to a whopping 128KB. Since there was no hard drive you had to put in the 5 1/4" floppy with IBM-DOS on it and start the machine. Then I could put in the floppy with my first computer game on it, GATO. The...

    How to do a clean OS install on OEM machine?

    This is just two computers so there would be no need for a multi-license. If the operating system is on it's own CD that's ideal. I was just under the impression that these big OEMs (DELL, Gateway, etc) stuff all their software (including the OS) on to one CD and when you install you get...

    How to do a clean OS install on OEM machine?

    My wife is thinking about buying a couple of DELLs for her business. I could certainly build these things myself but I can't beat the price DELL is offering. Especially with XP and Office. Anyway, I'm assuming that the operating system does not come in a standard OEM CD. It is on a disk with...

    How should I handle operating system on new hard drive?

    I am planning on buying a replacement hard drive for my machine. But, at first, I want to use this new drive simply for data storage. At some future date I will get rid of the original drive and use this new drive as my primary, and only, hard drive. How should I handle this? Should I just...

    Unofficial 2405FPW Thread (Now that its been announced)

    Mine came less than a week after I placed the order. From reading on various forums the expected ship date on the Dell site is quite conservative. FYI, I love mine and am constantly rotating it from landscape to portrait. A very usefull feature.
