From my experience one should definitely consider replacing batteries at around the 3 year mark. Or at least watching for signs that they may need replacement. This, from my experience, would be prime candidate as a sign.

This problem happens on any system that has multiple video cards in a non-SLI output where you're viewing any application that uses Microsoft's GPU Acceleration API that is on a monitor that is the non-primary video card. And unfortunately all browsers use GPU Acceleration. The bug is...

I unfortunately don't have the multiple display ports. Not sure how I missed that when choosing the card beacuse I thought I explicitly checked for multiple display ports. Cards have 2 DVI, 1 HDMI, 1 DisplayPort (regular size) each. I'm pretty sure it's the hub that's doing it. But the...

Correct: I'm using StarTech.com MSTMDP123DP Mini DisplayPort 1.2 to Triple Head DisplayPort Multi Monitor MST Hub 3 DP and 1 DVI. I have to R7 2xx series but I got tired of DWM killing itself The adapter is okay - however it should be noted that it requires a single mDP. My Video Card...

4 Cards off of each video card is usually very easy if the device either has the appropriate ports or you use a MST DisplayPort hub (purchased separately) (and the video card has a DisplayPort). However, since Vista and the architectural changes made under the hood with WDM, DWM and the GPU...

I am curious if anybody knows whether the HDMI 2 on these video cards actually output HDMI 2 at 17.x GBs as opposed to the 10.x GBs that a lot of HDMI 2 solutions that are coming out. It seems like, according to reports that almost everybody that is advertising HDMI 2 solutions are even...

I am curious if anybody knows of anybody that offers pre-built systems on something similar (preferably the same) as A1SRM-2758F with the Atom C2758 that are in a non rack form factor. Semi-attached to the the motherboard due to the Quad Port Ethernet built in and the 2 PCI-E slots. It's...

I am looking for some recommendations for suitable professional graphics quality replacement for 2470WNX. I would not mind 24 or 27". The monitors need to be non-widescreen and should be 1920x1200 native. Primary used for web development, print/photo editing, and looking at lots of...

Google says it can't happen and [H] is saying it can't happen, therefore it can't happen. I say we take the cat into custody for questioning.

Actually no need to hear it from a purported Holiday Inn Express. There's several companies who have publishes their findings on Windows 8's lack of discover-ability, the extra clicks required to do basic tasks, and the effects that Metro has on the users. You also should not and would not...

Not sure if this is a good place to bounce this question, but here goes. Have a Dual Xeon E-5 2643on a SuperMicro motherboard. with an LSI MegaRaid SAS 9260-8i Windows Server 2012 because Standard Edition of Windows 2008 R2 is apparently crippled in it's "licensed" RAM usage)...

Any Process Engineer would tear everything about Windows 8 apart. Process engineers combined with modern technology help identify areas where something like 1/10th of a step shaved off a process can save a company like GM 2.3 Million dollars in a single year. Windows 8 and probably all...

Microsoft is the one who carved the path of a 50,000 year old glacier. You and I, we're just standing in the gaping ravine amongst the rocks and rubble left behind. As my original point was and will continue stand from both a professional and a personal stance. Microsoft has a long history...

I didn't say it couldn't happen.I just s aid that to see it would be quite laughable. And games are so valuable and productive to the humanity moving forward.

Sandboxed is generally not considered native. :)

Hah, A Windows Metro App that takes advantage of 5k in hardware, that will be the day. You are correct, you are way more a MS fanboy than I am. There is a reason why in 1/2 of Microsoft's public dev push for Windows Metro they constantly talk about HTML/Javascript and how everything can be...

Well Gmail exists, so obviously Outlook RT can exist. :p

There's a special place for BEANS because It still actually still has a lot of in-uses today from my understanding. CORBA however is mostly dead. You don't reserve special places for things that actually mostly have died.

Corrected for you. The same exact team that brought you Silverlight brought you Windows Metro, a lateral move edition of Silverlight, lost a bunch of useful features gained some useful features. Not even remotely capable of being compared to WPF, however.

They've been rolling it out slowly for past couple of weeks. Think mobile users got switched over sooner rather than later.

That's because Microsoft's path "of no backwards compatibility" was to give business who operate on non-touch hardware (for a very good reason) a Touch Optimized / keyboard an afterthought , "barely more powerful than Javascript/jquery/plugins" framework that by default has almost zero user...

WinFS is dead and we will never see it. The developers who developed it were so misguided as Microsoft was quoted saying "There is no need for WinFS because "LINQ" exists. A few ideas regarding "searching applications" showed up in Metro but I'm not sure of the usefulness of that in the real...

Sales tax is coming to everybody very shortly. :p Two bills backed up in White house supported by all the major brick and mortar and by Amazon pending further erosion to the opposition.

Quite possible they've gotten better over the last couple of years. It's been quite a few years since I purchased from them. But with how much bad hardware I was getting from them I just shy away from them.

^^ Hah, yeah what he said. Sorry I wasn't feeling pedantic that day(s)

The registry makes sense for corporate/business users with business software (applications) that quite often times has to cross boundaries/integrate/read/modify other settings. The newish "metro" localized/roaming storage that Microsoft is pushing is great for "apps" and going to the...

A Profiling Application is far better tool at determining actual "CPU cost" because the execution time is not necessarily the most accurate measure. It is capable of monitoring a wide range of things from memory allocations, cpu cost and cpu time spent. The latter which are far more important in...

TigerDirect is horrible. They have an even worse habit of reboxing returned products than Newegg does. Newegg is great for browsing. Their search is prime. However as others have said, sometimes you can go to Amazon and get the same price more or less with (supposedly better C/S). I...

First, Benchmarking applications with a stopwatch and not an actual professional profiling tool running and monitoring the application (for cpu time not actual execution time) is child's play. Second, Using managed code to attemp to measure efficiency of most things very hardware specific...

What do you think they will do when businesses tell Microsoft they can't buy touch screen PCs and that a 100% Touch Screen OS doesn't do very well in a Mouse/Keyboard/Multiple monitor driven business world.

Pro Argument for Microsoft's killing the desktop: Cite smartphone and tablet sales surging Fail to mention Microsoft has never done "well" in either arenas and has long since been considered a major competitor. Winning news article. Print it!

Except we all know Microsoft can't balance two things at one and it's "not your pc", "not your OS" and it's "not your Office" it's Microsoft. And you use it how Microsoft dictates and not how "you who paid the money for it" wishes to. So you will ultimately end up with one version of Office...

Stupid question but have you tried telling your VNC application to force it? Most VNC programs have command line/config parameters for forcing the resolution. I've only ever used this on VMwares so I'm not sure if it's the hardware limitation that is preventing you from doing it.

Short of Microsoft RT/Metro API team putting the pedal to the modal in a manner that they've not done in over a decade+ I doubt there is any way they can make Metro office do much more than what Google's version of Office does. You could make maybe a 5 dollar Spreadsheet App that might be lucky...

I noticed your absence also. I don't think this will help Microsoft much. Come on, you have gotta be kidding me. You see people spending money on a 4th device, in addition to the xbox/sp3/wii they probably already have, the iPhone/Nexus and the iPad they have. No, I don't think this will help...

Pricecuts do not mean failure; in fact if anything it has shown that they sometimes breathe new life into products by lowering entry level. Microsoft losing several of it's major (and arguably one of its best and the other one of its largest) OEM Hardware partners for Windows RT is probably...

Raid is not a backup solution. What happens if an employee steals the whole server/computer? How does the RAID on your hard drive that is now in the possession of said employee remain backed up? Backup should be external device from where the data is stored. And for a business where...

I do not know. I was stating that as a "the hallmark of a good encryptor should do.." I have come across a lot of e-mail encryptors that do not make the link very accessible.

Okay, Thanks for clearing that last bit up.

Why are better chips being fabicrated on 16nm process and it being looked forward that the lower end chips being fabricated at 20nm From my understanding of the fabrication process the more complex the chip is the harder it is to fabricate at a lower end, why our memory/flash fabrication...
