I'll add Psych and Monk to the mix. Jericho is worth Netflix "Watch it Now" if you are a subscriber but the show has been canceled. Another good canceled show is Firefly. Big +1 to previously suggested 30 Rock, House, Scrubs, and My Name is Earl. Also, Gossip Girl is surprisingly addictive...

I just noticed some oddities in the display settings window. It had two monitors listed 1. (Multiple Monitors) on RADEON 9500 2. Something else, I forget what the text read 1 was marked as main and extend. 2 was grayed out and if you right click on the picture, "attached" wasn't checked...

My monitor is a dell 22 e228wfp. I have tried the drivers directly from ATI without luck. I am going to give Driver Sweeper a try in a minute.

I have a Radeon 9500 that recently stopped letting me bump the resolution up to the full 1680x1050. I'm running 32 bit Vista and the slider on Display Settings maxes out at 1024x768. I know for sure I had the video card installed correctly at one point but it hasn't worked ever since either...

I'm using Lifeextender (http://www.lifextender.com/) to cut commercials from my Vista Media Center recordings but sometimes it cuts out parts of the show. Just now it cut out the last 55 minutes of a Dirty Jobs episode and pushed me over the line to seek a solution. Does anyone have custom...

Email your professor.

It is really hard for me to give good feedback without knowing the exact purpose and requirements of this application. Here are some things to consider and hopefully even if they don't apply to your project, they help you to start thinking in another way. Also, I would recommend you get a...

I made a recommender system for a website and I use a stored procedures to get predictions. I use another stored procedure to get recommendations (basically the highest predictions.) However, I can't think of a way to implement the recommendations correctly. First, let me explain how a...

My opinions and I stress opinions... The first one: The main navigation shouldn't look like buttons. I would save buttons for for submit and make the page navigation look different - they should have rollover graphics. Also, the reflection effect doesn't make sense on top of a wood-grain...

I have read through both of those articles several times now (a little difficult with all the new terminology) and wasn't able to think of a way to apply them to my problem. Any suggestions on what I need to look into specifically would help greatly.

Keep in mind that testing is an exhaustive process. You have tested to see if you were cpu-bounded by running top and didn't find anything. Even if it had been a problem with cpu usage and you managed to fix it, there is nothing saying that you still wouldn't be having another bottleneck...

I'm currently displaying a table of items using a repeater and each table row has only a single column or td. I would like to make it a two column table like how the Photos application on Facebook displays albums. Basically what I have right now is <table> <tr><th>Items</th></tr>...

There are a number of reasons that the web hasn't evolved as far as you would have hoped and many of them have been outlined already (easier to develop using standards, no need for additional plug-ins, accessibility, and easier to use) but what hasn't been mentioned yet is that the average user...

Don't make it more complicated than it needs to be. Figure what the minimum you would be willing to part with it for is, then figure an upper limit on what the buyers would be willing to pay and workout a price somewhere in between. Probably not the answer you wanted but there is no magic...

I just received the PVR 500 as a gift and was unable to get my Asus A8V to boot with it. After trying many different PCI slot permutations (with and without my existing PVR 150) I did some research and found that there is a flaw in the Asus A8V that prevents it from working with the PVR 500 (or...

Got my copy in the mail yesterday.

http://www.microsoft.com/business/vb2005upgrade/default.mspx The catch: You pay shipping and handling fees and have to attend attend Visual Basic 2005 Labcasts.

If you want a general overview of cryptography I would highly recommend The Code Book by Simon Singh. It doesn't discuss any computer science but instead the basic process of a number of different methods.

400 locations sounds like a rather large project. I'd get professional advice.

First, I don't care much either way if you are trying to decrypt passwords or go pattern hunting but I could give you better help if I knew what you were doing. It sounds like your goal is to figure out what data was used to create a known hash. If this is the case then your strategy depends...

I would also say you should go for the internship. There is no rush to get a degree but there is a rush to get as much experience as you can. On top of that, an internship is basically an extended interview and as long as you don't do something horribly wrong you should get a full time offering...

Whoops sorry ... My description was originally longer but I hacked it up trying to make it short enough that anyone would read and must have taken out a little too much. I'm trying to start the remote desktop server on boot so that I can remote administrate from various other computers...

Sorry if this has been covered before (it likely has) ... I tried searching but no direct hits. I just went to install Ubuntu 6.10 server and must have checked the wrong box and formatted a raid that I meant only to specify a mount point for (not format also). It was a raid 5 constructed from...

Like jimmy said, a good hash shouldn't be suceptible to patterns. Changing one bit on the original data should, on average but also not predictablly, result in a change in half of the output. What this means is that the hashing algorithm is a one way street without patterns. You could hash...

I set up remote desktop/terminal services for Windows 2003 Standard Server Edition and it works great except that it doesn't start on boot. Once I reboot my computer, I have to go back into System Properties -> Remote and start Remote Desktop once again. Where can I find the setting that...

Taken any chemistry or physics classes lately? In high school I always found it helpful to program all the formulas we learned so that I could do the tedious homework sets quickly. Not only did this make doing the homeworks very easy but also helped me remember the formulas for the tests...

To get the laptop to boot up from the cd you probably have to go into bios and change the boot order. It is probably just booting from hard drive first by default. Or, some laptops make you press a key during boot up to give you a boot-from menu. Read the screen carefully when you boot it up...

So currently I have 1gb of ram from two 512mb 3200 ddr chips. I'm thinking about upgrading but I'm not sure what the best option for me might be. I have an Asus A8v motherboard (manual: http://dlsvr01.asus.com/pub/ASUS/mb/socket939/a8v/e1994_a8v.pdf) Page 34 of the pdf manual explains the...

My server is a AMD64 3000+ with 2x512mb of 3200 ddr ram. For storage i'm using two 300gb drives (not in any kind of raid.) Its running Gentoo Linux and for the most part sits around doing nothing (it is running apache, samba and an iTunes music share but those are only ever used for personal...

My (big) mistake, I meant 19 million, not thousand. Its at 41 million now after 24 hours of running. This is with mySQL using the MyISAM storage engine. So at this rate I should be done in a few more days. My major concern isn't getting this into the database, but instead, how long the...

First, i'm pretty sure you meant left arithmetic shift, not right (>>). Lets do the example x = 8, so 10 * 8 is the question. By your method: 10 * 8 = (8>>3) + 8 + 8 = 1 + 8 + 8 = 17. Maybe you meant left arithmetic shift instead? 10 * 8 = (8<<3) + 8 + 8 = 64 + 8 + 8 = 80 The pattern is...

Well damn, I've only 1gb (2x512) and inserting everything into the database is taking forever. I'm using scripts I found on a blog here: http://www.igvita.com/blog/2006/12/01/loading-netflix-dataset-into-sql/ . However, I have been running the load script for about 8 hours and it has only...

Just scored 2 of those wireless music systems for the ipod! Next up: Toshiba Qosmio Media Center Notebook $749.99 Features: * Microsoft Windows XP Media Center 2005 pre-installed w/COA * Intel Pentium M processor 745 1.80 GHz processor with Centrino technology * Intel...

I'm looking to get started with the netflix competition (http://www.netflixprize.com) but the size of the data set is scaring me a little. I have several questions that came up while brainstorming about the problem. First let me state that I am not planning on winning or even "doing well" in...

Excuse my newbness but could you point me in the direction of these cheap controllers? I clicked around newegg and was unable to find a PATA controller that would support 5+ drives that was _not_ a raid controller card (and imo expensive.) Maybe I am best off getting...

I'm looking for an affordable raid 5 controller to use with four or five (I would prefer five) 200gb ata/100 hard drives. It also must work in Gentoo linux running on an amd64 system (if that makes any difference.) (I picked up 3 drives on black friday for $20 each and a friend of mine...

Well I don't know about either of the conclusions the last two have drawn. I probably am 'smart' enough to write some software to capture the signal and put it out to my tv, however, I don't have the time to bother with all that -- especially when such software already exists that I can...

Sorry I didn't mean to confuse anyone. The terms I used were at best compleatly wrong. All I meant by floating through the walls was actually referring to all the wiring throughout the building. Despite how I presented my knowledge, I actuall am quite technologically adept. Anyways, I...

The reason I dont have one from my provider (Comcast) is that i'm in a college dorm and the tv we get is included with housing. Actually, I dont even know if there is hd signal in the cable that I could tune in to or if that would be an extra fee. I was hoping that I could pick off some hd...
