Is there anyway to stop firefox from constantly writing to the hard drive while browsing to different pages? On some sites it's so bad that there is hard drive activity for up to 10 or 15 seconds. A file monitor says its the cookies.sqlite and cookies.sqlite-journal file that are writing.
I...
I'm trying to find a case that will house the following, full sizes atx motherboard with a large heat sink, normal psu, one optical drive and up to four hard drives and it should use 120mm fans. I'd also like to see the psu at the front where there is usually unused external bays. Then there...
I'm with Bell in Canada and trying to decide which new phone to get. Last month I signed a contract and got the 3gs, then two weeks later found out the iphone 4 was coming mid july (I assumed it would be coming to canada late like the 3gs took til the end of 09). So I returned the 3gs inside the...
I tried searching for some answers but most of the results ended up explaining how to bypass smart phone security or some other hacks.
My question though is how safe is it using passwords or sending other sensitive info over 3G? What little I did find in my search said that 3G data has some...
I did a fresh install of win7 a few months ago to my c: with all three of my hard drives in the system. But now when you go through computer management to disk management, the c: shows as boot, page, crash, primary, and the d: shows as system, primary. How do I make the c: include the system...
Last week I was watching a southpark episode from their site and my screen artifacted and locked the computer. It continued to do this while posting and the card is now pretty much dead.
I got a replacement hd4850 this week and last night while watching streaming flash tv my monitor went into...
So last night my screen covered itself in artifacts and then windows shut my computer down with a bluescreen though I couldn't make out what it said. Restarting the computer showed the same artifacts plus random characters in different colours while booting up. I'm pretty sure that this is just...
I was rearranging some cables in my case today and when I booted the system up windows is now saying I need to format one of my secondary drives? It looks like it can't read the file system on the drive anymore. Is there any way to recover my files?
When thnderbird starts up and when I click the get mail button thunderbird only get mail from my gmail and hotmail accounts. I have to click the arrow and get all new messages for it to check my ISP email accounts. Is there a way for the button to check every account?
The sensor that detects whether the unit is horizontal or vertical is weird on my new 360 as it keeps changing the light position on the ring for controller 1. If the unit is vertical is will switch between the top left which is correct and the top right which would be correct for the horizontal...
I just got a message on steam saying that someone else has logged into the account and then I got kicked to the login and my password no longer worked. I went to recover the password and got the email with the new temp one but the secret question asked for what the password was reset to the last...
I've just finished formatting and reinstalling the windows 7 beta. Now I'd like to dual boot into xp for game compatibility. Never dual booted before so how would I go about this?
I think step one is going to be to shrink the windows 7 partition on my c drive to make room for xp. I can just...
Will I run into any problems with the following if I install the 64bit beta?
NOD32
GIMP
Firefox, Thunderbird

COD4 through steam
I've read PB isnt supporting the beta so COD4 could be a problem. Do any of the fixes out there that...
I really don't know too much about laptops, but I do know what I'm looking for.
I'd like it to be around a 15" screen, so no 10" netbooks.
But super thin and light, under 1" and 5lbs.
Good build quality, so no flimsy plastic.
And performance is not important as it wont be used for games or...
I'm making a new site and on a few of the pages I have thumbnails and a main image display but you have to scroll down to see them. Currently clicking the thumbnail changes the main images but has to refresh the page and it is reset to the top. So the person viewing can no longer see the gallery...
I've created a website for a family business. What type of copyright information should I put at the bottom of the page? And what does it really mean legally?

I installed a stripped down version of xp but now I need to add support for a german keyboard. The stripped down version cut all of the extra languages apparently, so the other keyboard options arn't under the language settings. I found a multi language pack or some such that you can get. Is...
When a hard drive crashes or is inaccessible, how much on average would it take to send it out to a place that would crack open the drive to try and retrieve data?
It's currently an xp2200 system, with 512 or 1gig ram and a 9800pro (I'm not there to check for sure). They need to upgrade so that vista will run smoothly, and it will mainly be an internet/email machine only. What I've got so far:

How would I go about getting started making websites on the side for some pocket change and experience. I know enough about actually making the sites, the question is more of getting the word out to smaller clients. I'm talking about the small businesses or personal websites for people and not...
How can I turn off the 'intelligent' highlighting found in all of the office programs, and a few others for that matter. I'm talking about what happens if you go to highlight a sentance of text and only catch the first half of the first word, it will automatically highlight the whole word for...
Is it possible to test php websites on my computer without having to setup and run apache (or any similar always on program)? I'm thinking a program like dreamweaver might do this, but I've always just coded my sites in a text editor, so I'm not sure. I think the best solution would be some...
Been playing grid on the pc with the keyboard and its obviously a little challenging. Wondering if it's worth it to pick up a 360 controller to play the game with. I will probably be getting a 360 next year anyways, so it's not a waste in that respect, and I'm sure theres other games I could use...
Today the right channel on my headphones totally died. I know it because of the repeated movement around the jack because it would cut in and out as i moved only that area. So I cut it open thinking it would just be normal wires and I would be able to solder a new jack on the end. Inside I found...
I've been organizing my mp3s with mp3tag, adding cover art, track numbers etc. Starting switching to autopilot and not really paying attention. Well I had an error come up while trying to write filenames from tag data, ignored it and continued with other albums. I'm positive this is because I...
What is the smallest case available that will support standard sized parts? So it would need to fit a full sized motherboard, video card and power supply, 2 hard drives and an optical drive. I have a Scythe ninja heat sink right now but I would be willing to change that out if needed. 120mm fans...
I had checked the box while in a store a couple weeks ago and it said it was completely in German. And checking online I can not find a definitive answer. Assuming it does have an English install option, am I going to be playing the same game as the North American release? I've read before that...
Just before I left home I installed vista on my parents aging AXP 2200+ with 1gig ram. It runs ok but isn't the quickest. Now after using it for 4 months want to make it a little faster. I've got the following picked out already, note this is going to all be bought in canada.

I'm moving to Germany next week, which company is probably best to ship with. Also, what should I do to protect the computer during transport. I have a scythe ninja and was going to take that off and put it back in the box but I figured everything else is screwed down and should be fine, no?

I'm moving to europe for a couple years and I'd like to bring my whole computer setup instead of buying all new stuff over there. Presumably my power supply is fine and will switch voltages automatically (corsair hx520), but I dont think the rest of my stuff will, monitor, speakers and printer...
Sometimes (very rarely) my new computer will restart itself. It just happened 5 min ago when I attempted to start up a game. The games splash screen displayed and then the computer restarted. The problem is not this game specifically because after rebooting the game started up fine 5 times in a...
I did a search but didn't come up with anything aftermarket for cooling an x1950. The stock cooling on the card is very loud and I'd like to replace it with something fanless if possible. Is this a good option? I didn't see it listed in the air cooling sticky though.

Quick background first. I have a 40gig operating/programs hard drive and a 160gig for everything else. I just bought a 80gig to replace the 40. Early I swapped the two and installed xp. When it loaded into windows the 160gig was set as c: and the 80 as e: when I tried to change the drive letters...
