I have this chassis and it's REALLY NICE. Doesn't make a lot of sense for a a heavy duty workstation (can't use an extended length/high powered power supply, no external bays for optical drives), but it makes the perfect chassis for a small server. The PC-Q08 is a better choice there (and can...

If you give up so easily, why would they want you? (HINT: Perseverance is a quality they also look for)

The main thing the interviewers look at from their perspective is not the answer but how you got there. A good interviewer will know that someone just coming out of school will not be able to get to the final answer of every (or even most) white-board type questions. What they really want to see...

XFX, with their double lifetime warranty, is the easy choice for ATI based video cards. They also make the fastest single slot video card out there (5770). Can't figure out why they're the only ones to achieve this.

If you think Microsoft would rather patent or steal any data and possibly get caught over collecting subscription fees from all these accounts they are signing up (which they wouldn't be able to do if everyone thought they were stealing their data) then you really have no idea how the business...

Hey, So I'm looking to get a keyboard and mouse (don't have to be from the same set even) that will be great to not only browse websites, etc from the couch, but also to do some occasional gaming (CS:S, L4D, etc). The computer will be about 15-20 feet away from where I'll be sitting and...

Great feedback. Thanks!

How is the trackpad? Is it annoying or good to use? How is the multitouch? Any luck using Nvidia's updated Optimus drivers or are you stuck with Asus' old driver? Thanks!

Price not being an issue (the UL80VT-A1 costs less right now), which is the better laptop? Also, can you compare build quality? I have a sneaking suspicion that the UL30 will be a more solid laptop (less flex, etc). I'll be using this primarily at work at meetings for notes, etc but also to...

So I am looking to add wireless capability to my home network that is wired (all gigE), but I don't want to replace my wired router or any of my wired devices. I'd just like to add N wireless capability so that my wireless laptop can connect once in a while when I am on the couch and not at my...

On machines I've built (and also at the OEM I used to work for) we ALWAYS labeled the cables at both ends so that you'd be able to tell what drive was what port (or what controller). So the labels would wrap around the SATA cables and say D0 C0 P0 (Drive 0, Controller 0, Port 0) and so on...

Nuke it from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.

That's the idea (yes, you can).

Is there any single player or is every level at least 2 players+?

I thought it was almost as good as the original with Arnold. Definitely better than the second with Glover. Lots of homages to the original without feeling like it was being ripped off. The tone, grittiness, etc was just like the original. Also, if you loved the original you will have a big...

Believe me, if I can get just your address, name, and phone number, that is enough for me to start making calls pretending to be you and it's enough information to fool people on the other end into giving me more information about you (until I can get an ID, etc). Of course, it's not the high...

I don't think the problem is so much that people are concealing information as much as it is the potential for others to exploit any and all information they can find on you (benign or otherwise) for their own gain. Of course, if you did something stupid and post pictures on Facebook it can...

I'd love to know what this TDSS thing is; I just installed a machine last week from an MSDN .iso, with no extra software installed but the in-box drivers and all Windows updates...it's on a network by itself behind a firewall, and it had the same problem after Tuesdays updates...

I don't know about the Win/Mac version of Chromium, but I know the Linux one is still filled with most of Google-ness aside from auto-updating. As far as I know, there is not a noscript extension out there yet, but any extension that works with Chrome also works with Iron. -S

I've been using SRWares Iron browser for a while now. It's had AdBlock built into the browser itself for quite a while. If you haven't heard of it, it's basically Chromium with all of the Google-ness and/or things that phone home to Google removed. Just the browser. I like Chromium; I don't like...

I have never used a check in my life. Money orders FTW. -S

Yele Haiti (from the CNN link) is also known to be making a profit from the Haitian relief efforts: Wyclef Jean Charity's Funny Money Please don't give that man any more money.

Yeah, he is totally a scumbag. The best part is that tons of his fans are defending him, even though the the records are there for any one to see and clearly he is skimming off the top. Reminds me of that R. Kelly Boondocks episode.

I have data blocked on my smartphone (don't need internet, just use it as a PDA), and the instant the operator disconnected it, the phone can't make a connection via 777, even if it tries to or I hit something accidentally. -S

Fair warning: Unless you speak German, their user forum may be hard to navigate...they have an English section, but its controls are in German. Also, they don't update their news page all the time, but the forum has all the up to date info/downloads. They are doing a good job though; they...

You both need to try "Iron", which is produced by a company called SRWare. Latest is 2.0.168.0. They have a portable version (for USB thumb drives) as well. The purpose of their browser (based on Chromium source) is to strip out all the Google-ness (calling home to google, or anywhere...

Let's face it: If you can afford a hummer, then tickets are probably a minor inconvenience. These people probably don't mind paying the ticket they get for double parking while getting their latte. I wonder if half of them cost as much as the gas they fill up their gas tanks with. -S

I just asked my buddy in Pittsburgh about this and he sent me this link: http://www.post-gazette.com/pg/08317/927167-53.stm -S

Thanks Galaxy and HardOCP.

Looks like all SuperMicro 1Us on the right... -S

You can definitely do it the way described above this post, but the problem is that you will have to reinstall all your applications, move the data over for each application, etc because once you install to a different Windows system folder, you are using a different registry (which has no idea...

Clean install is always the way to go if you want your system to work right. That being said, the SP3 issue that everyone is afraid of is due to two specific issues (neither of which you'll run into unless you have one of these configs): 1. HP software people being super lazy and crossing...

Intel ICH7R Vista 64 Driver floppy This is what you are looking for. We install Vista 64 on Intel RAID enabled boards all the time with Intel's drivers and they work great. Just remember to install the full Intel Matrix Storage utility after the OS is installed so you can monitor your...

Here are the drivers for both Vista OSes NForce 4 - Vista 32 drivers NForce 4 - Vista 64 drivers If you need a RAID driver, use a program like 7-zip to unzip the package you need a driver for (32/64 package above), drill down to the IDE directory, grab the files from the "sata" and...

The problem you are having is due to plugging your drive into a controller that no driver is loaded for in the original OS. The only way to make something like that work is to load the driver FIRST before you move the drive (obviously your original board died so...). You can most definitely...

FYI, no Windows OS can boot from a GPT volume (except IA64 perhaps with EFI). To use a GPT volume you must have a < 2TB MBR volume to start. Some RAID controllers (3Ware, etc) can "carve" out a smaller volume out of a > 2TB volume to use as a boot drive. XP x86 does not support GPT, but...

Fixed that for you. :) -S

FYI, the 316MB DL from MajorGeeks I got yesterday identifies itself as this when installed. I saw nothing about "Pre-Release" or RC, etc. -S
