Hi everybody, I'm hoping I can find some help here with my problem because I am really stuck. I am pretty new to AS3 and can't figure this out for the life of me! I followed this flash tutorial for creating a photo gallery http://www.flashmagazine.com/Tutoria...photo_gallery/ and am having the...

Does anyone know of a command line utility for windows to convert a date into unixtime? Thanks in advance!

Nevermind! Figured it out

Hey guys, I have very limited experience with VB (only know PERL) so I was wondering if one of you be be so kind as to write a script for me for my herpetology study; or at least point me in the right direction? The sample main data set (much smaller than real one) is to document snakes found...

I have a batch file to run as a macro from my harmony remote to open and close the dvd tray. i pipelined this with exit but it doesn't close out of the terminal window after executing. Is there something else I can do? Thanks in advance!

Hi guys, let me start by saying I am somewhat of a n00b when it comes to networking but I did look around before posting. I am trying to set up a webserver so my brother can access my computer over the internet. I set up "no-ip" as per many peoples' recommendations. I created the hostname...

I recently attempted to setup a pioneer vsx-1019-ah reciever for my HTPC but have had nothing but grief. It seems the reciever won't consistenly talk to my computer properly no matter what I do. I have HDMI out from the comp to the reciever and HDMI to my tv. While connected in this fashion I...

Anyone have any ideas as to why my HTPC won't display anything until the Vista logon screen while connected through my receiver but will when connected directly to my TV? I hooked up my new receiver (Pioneer VSX-1019AH-K) 2 days ago and I have my HTPC running audio and video out of the native...

I've been trying for the past 2 months to successfully replace the small and slow SSD with a 60GB Toshiba 1.8" drive but I just can't do it. I'm referring to tnkgirl's mod of the Acer Aspire One (http://tnkgrl.wordpress.com/2008/08/16/modding-the-acer-aspire-one-hard-drive/) and it's really...

I currently am running the Gigabyte GA-MA78GM-S2HP in my HTPC but was curious if I could benefit from upgrading to a 9 series nVidia card for picture quality? I recently upgraded my TV and just want to make sure I am getting everything out of it. Thanks guys

I bought an Acer Aspire One netbook the other day intentionally with linux so it was cheaper, with the intent on installing my own Windows XP on it. To do this I had to make a bootable USB drive with XP on it. Simple enough. But no matter what I do I always get a hal.dll error trying to boot...

I have been using mp3gain for a while but am not too happy with it. It employs an algorithm to gain audio files to what it thinks it will sound like to you but I have been noticing more and more that my music is not all the same volume and within the tracks there is variance that shouldn't be...

I'm thinking about networking my DVD library and cable service and my questions are: When I stream a movie from my media center through a slingbox (atleast I think that's the route I am going to go) will I be able to watch the movie without it lagging when accessing it wirelessly, say from my...

I can't decide which earbud headphones to buy. I don't want to spend much more than $150 and want good noise isolation, a thick cable so it isn't fragile and wont tangle as easily, and good bass response. Anyone have any suggestions? Thanks in advance!

I was stupid and didn't research it before I bought a 780i board to replace my dead 680i and realized my chipset waterblock isn't compatible. I am planning on OCing my e6600 to 3.3 like I had it...am I going to have to shell out the $$ for a new waterblock or will the stock heatsink work? It...

I want to control my comp via remote control. Does anyone have any experience with this? I did a quick search and found the IRA-3, but I'm curious if there are any more options? Thanks in advance

I recently tried updating my nvidia drivers in windows XP so I went to control panel and unistalled them, then restarted my computer and loaded into safe mode like usual but I had lost all keyboard and mouse functionality. I uninstalled the System Managment Bus, Ethernet and Display Drivers...

Ever since nvidia's new control panel whenever I overclock my video card and apply they always revert back to stock after a reboot. This has been with two separate video cards and motherboards....is anyone else having this problem and how can I fix this? I have not unchecked any nvidia...

My current rig in my sig just died so this is what Im upgrading to: EVGA 122-CK-NF68-A1 680i OCZ Gold 2GB DDR2 1100 Core 2 Duo E6600 Im going for a fairly top-end gaming rig that is stable and I can OC. The EVGA mobo is the new revision and I havent seen anyone have any problems with...

I havent been following motherboards in the past few months and I dont have time to research everything right now seems as my computer (in sig) died and I need a new one by friday night so which should I buy? Does the 680i still have problems? I just need something stable with decent OCing...

I see a few aluminum keyboards out there...enermax, onkyo, and hiper have some and Im sure there are others but they all seem to have plastic keys. Any idea if there are any completely aluminum keyboards out there? Preferably with backlighting? Thanks

RAMDAC- Random access memory digital/analog converter. As far as i know, at no point is the data ever analog. Source is digital and output is only digital (dvi), no more VGA outs anymore (atleast not on my 7800gts or my 8800gtx). So why are RAMDACs still being put on video cards? There has...

I got an xfx 8800gtx this morning but im pretty sure somethings wrong. 6000 on 3DMark06 is worse than my 7800gt sli setup. I installed the drivers correctly, the only thing i can think is causing a problem is that i put the card in my 2nd pci-e slot (the stock HSF interferes with my chipset...

Just curious but does anyone know if this will ever be done? Im not going to buy vista...ever...so im really hoping ill be able to enjoy dx10 without it. My next OS will probably be linux if i ever do upgrade and I remember seeing an emulator for linux that let you play windows xp games, so i...

Im running 2 7800gts in SLI and ever since nvidia introduced the new control panel I cant see my second video card's temperature...has anyone encountered this? thanks

I was having mobo problems for a while so i RMAed the board and now that i have it back, the CPU temperature is reading -118 degrees on MBM5. Im assuming this is a physical problem with sensor itself and i cant do anything to fix this, but just in case does anyone have any insight or solutions...

So I've always had the impression they were pretty much all the same, so I just went by color scheme and price when choosing between them...is there a difference between them? what do the vendors actually do to the cards? thanks

Ive been browsing for a while now and haven't run across any Halloween themes or wallpapers that were any good. Can anyone recommend some to me? Looking for something more along the lines of creepy or scary...not cartoonish. Thanks in advance!

So back in july my dog drooled all over my video card while it was in my computer (side panel was being machined) and ever since then I have been having some major issues. The card turned out not to be fried after I cleaned it with alcohol so I had been using it for a while. My problem is...

Can anyone recommend a good color laser printer? It doesnt need to have a scanner or anything and I could care less for ppm. Im mainly concerned just about print quality. Thanks in advance!

Im in need of upgrading my keyboard and mouse and Im curious if logitech is coming out with a new gaming mouse or keyboard soon? The MX revolution is really nice but it does not look like a gaming mouse...am i wrong about this? Are they coming out with a new G7 or G15 anytime soon? I would...

Which audio editing software do you use?

So a while back I was having my sidepanel machined for a window and while it was off my dog slobbered all over one of my video cards...crap. It ended up corrupting many files on my comp and I thought my video card was history but I reinstalled everything and I cleaned off the card thoroughly...

I have been using tiny firewall for a while now and it works great but in order for it to work I had to uninstall one of the windows updates and now all the subsequent updates fail on the install. So just wondering if there were any other 64 bit firewalls with good outbound protection or if...

Im trying to make all of my music collection the same volume so I dont have to mess with the volume all the time. I wouldn't think this would be too hard but I can't find a program to do it. Im using winamp pro and I have sony soundforge 8.0 (although Im not experienced at all with it)...

Ok so my friend pointed out that Dell has a sale on the 2007WFP 20.1-inch to me and it got me into thinking about upgrading my 19" Hitachi CM721F that I have had for around 5 years I think. Im still not satisfied with the contrast ratios or refresh rates on LCDs though and got to thinking about...
