I was subscribed with cable to a large national company (will not be named) and canceled my service when I moved out of my apartment. My service was successfully terminated but the company never notified me that I would have to return my unused equipment (it's since been about 4 months since I...

I am trying to correct some bass distortion with a program called MP3Gain and I think this software resaves my Mp3s once the gain correction has completed. I am trying to figure out if when I sync my iPod with iTunes that the newly corrected files will be loaded onto it? Or only newly added...

An e-commerce company I used to work for and with whose owners I am friendly approached me to perform a complete website critique in addition to some other commissioned design work I am doing for them. I am wondering what would be appropriate to charge for such a critique. The document is in...

Hey, I'm wondering if anyone has any insight on which uses more battery power in a typical cell phone, talking on speakerphone at medium speaker volume or using a bluetooth headset? It would seem like the speakerphone takes up more power, but I don't know how power-intensive the bluetooth...

Hi all, I just purchased a set of low priced Logitech x-240 speakers + sub for my computer. I'm wondering what you guys think is the best volume level configuration to get the richest sound out of these speakers. I can adjust the volume directly on the speakers themselves, the volume in...

Hello all, I'm looking for a device which transfers audio wirelessly from my computer to a home stereo system. I don't need or want any fancy screens or advanced controls. I just want a box with an input from my computer, which transmits audio wirelessly to a receiver with an output to my...

I purchased an HP Media PC that came preloaded with an HP Recovery drive partition (10 GB). I would actually like to delete the file on this drive and install a copy of Windows XP on that partition. I think Windows Vista comes with a pretty sufficient recovery tool. Do you think it's safe to...

Thx!

ASUS (1043), 10DE - 0422. It looks like getting an HDMI-DVI cable will work ok?

ring of steel, I dled and installed gpuz. What do you want to know?

Digital exhaust, this particular card only has DVI-in, HDMI, and TV-out, but no VGA connector. Looking online at other versions of this card (like at Newegg) the card comes with VGA-out, but I think HP modified it slightly (I just bought HP m9000t media PC).

Um, I wish I could, but I can't. I don't know it. Is it listed on the card itself?

Video card is Nvidia GeForce 8400GS (256 mb)

I'm not very experienced with dual monitor setup, so I'll try to be straightforward with my problem. I have a monitor currently with DVI and VGA out. I would like to buy another DVI monitor to have a two-monitor setup. I just purchased a computer with a graphics card that has a DVI input...

I wasn't sure where to put this so I tried to find the most general forum. I submitted some rebates in December 2006 for a Black Friday thanksgiving deal on a portable hard drive. I haven't gotten any of the rebates (1 mfg rebate, 1 circuit city rebate). I'm certain I filled everything out...

My university uses for its webmail system the IMP Webmail client and it created a folder called "sent-mail" for all my sent mail from my webmail and from Eudora. I switched from Eudora and started using Outlook Express a little while ago and imported my IMAP folders from my webmail into...

It's just that I am not really prepared to spend $100 on RAM. I'm more wondering if it's worth it to upgrade to 784 or not upgrade at all.

I have two slots of 256 mb ram for a total of 512 mb. I do a lot of digital photography and so I need more RAM -- I am about to buy a 512 stick ($41) and keep a 256 stick in there for a total of 784 mb. Do you think I'll notice any difference between 512 mb and 784 mb given the amt of money I am...

I am backing up some music files onto a hard drive and it's very likely that I have duplicate instances of the same file in different folders (from making mixes, indexing with iTunes, etc). Is there a program I can download to scan a folder and remove all the duplicate instances of a file? Thanks.

Hi all, I am thinking of buying an NEC 1760V from a friend at what I consider to be a good price -- about 65% less than what this monitor costs at newegg. Everything seems OK except the response time is 16 ms. I am not a gamer -- let me repeat this, I do not play any video games whatsoever...

I thought it was really hard to replace the fan attached to the heat sync?? Thanks

Hi everyone -- I have an OEM HP desktop that's about 3 years old. It has two fans...one is working fine but the other has been making a lot of noise when it spins, as if something's caught in there. A lot of times the noises will come and go, but sometimes they'll persist for hours and become...

If I order Yahoo Mail plus, do I get access to download full size photos from my Yahoo photos page? "Lastly, we maintain a full-size version (high resolution) version of your photos which are used to produce any prints or photo merchandise that you may order. If you are a subscriber of SBC...

Hi all. I have been receiving this error recently when accessing certain websites in IE. Let me give you some background info and the error itself. I am using Windows 98 on a P3 processor. I recently started having the error after trying to unsuccessfully install a linksys wireless-g router...

You are prone to losing small USB card readers, and yet you're not prone to losing small USB cords?

cool

I'm looking to simplify my desktop through these poseur Mac OS programs like Objectdock and Konfabulator widgets. I was wondering if anyone had a suggestion for a small utility that hid all the icons from my desktop until I pressed a function key or something to that effect. Thanks, Scott

Until I can be convinced that Opera is a more powerful browser than IE or Firefox -- 40 dollars more powerful -- then I will reconsider a paid install. I don't believe Linux or BSD is as powerful as Windows or MAC OS, which is why I paid for the latter two OSs. I completely understand people...

That's an interesting opinion with some theoretical substance, but I disagree that there is no need for Symanetec to protect Firefox. I think Symantec came out with the study to try to get people who currently use Firefox to download Symantec products, not to switch back to IE. Whether or not...

I too have many problems reading PDFs with Firefox -- basically the PDF loads fine, but when I go to exit the PDF Firefox freezes for about 2 minutes then lets me go on my way. I will probably reinstall Acrobat reader.

Wow, I just read this entire thread and after hearing the raves about Opera, I went to go download it ... only to find myself inundated with advertisements that I can only get rid of by buying Opera (40 bucks). I'm sorry, but I just uninstalled. When I can get Firefox, Mozilla, or Netscape...

Of COURSE Mozilla/Firefox is more vulnerable to an attack than IE. Someone who wanted to wreak some real havoc would start marking viruses for Firefox, and that would really blindside a lot of people who think that just because they browse without IE, they are protected from all the dangers of...

I saw a good deal on Newegg for a Western Digital Dual-option Combo WDXUB800BBNN 80GB 7200 RPM 2MB Cache USB 2.0 External Hard Drive... not too much of a hardware person so I'm not familiar with all the specs. It sells for $94, one of the cheapest 80 GB external drives on Newegg. Does anyone...

just got back from the alps a couple of week ago .. .they are so beautiful!
