I bought a HTIB that included the Onkyo HT-RC160 (very similar to the 707, I believe). Anyhow, I've got HDMI running from the receiver to my TV, and into the receiver--all via HDMI--are a Blu-Ray player, Xbox 360, Apple TV, and DirecTV receiver. Now, though, I want to hook up the Wii...which...

I'm attempting to use my Linksys WRT54GL with Tomato 1.27 as a wireless bridge, with an Airport Extreme (MB053LL/A) as the main router. Following instructions at http://www.wi-fiplanet.com/tutorials/article.php/3810281 and configuring the Linksys as a wireless client, I can get things working...

As seen in the second example here: http://www.mrexcel.com/tip052.shtml I'm developing what has turned out to be a very large tool to look for patterns of academic dishonesty in some of the online courses my department offers. To that end, I find it useful to look at when a group of...

Let me start off by saying: I suck at arrays. I have a hard time visualizing the intricacies, although I usually end up with a satisfactory result. This time, I'm having a doubly hard time. The goal is this: I want to pull student records for an exam and compare answers among students. The...

We're using the Flash media player solution from jeroenwijering.com (and yes, I could post the problem there, but my boss is convinced that it's not a player-related issue). We use this player for online college exams; in some cases there are just 8 or 10 audio clips, but on one of our exams we...

I've got a complex PHP/Smarty/JavaScript/jQuery setup going on, and it's working pretty well for the most part. I'm experimenting with the Flot plugin for jQuery (it does charting/graphing), and I need a dataset in the form of an array. At present I'm spitting out the string into a hidden...

I've got a MacBook Pro, and my PC's power supply died some time ago. Thus, achin' for some sort of gaming, I bought Railroad Tycoon 3 at Fry's. (Great game, by the way. I enjoyed playing it on the PC so it was nice to get it for the Mac.) I travel with the MacBook Pro pretty frequently--it...

It's been a while since I've been around the forums...life got in the way. :) But I am certain it's still chock full of geniuses, so I'm here looking for help. Backstory: I bought an Xbox (original), and planned to softmod it tonight (Ndure mod). I got my PC next to my Xbox near the TV, and...

A prof in our college wants to include scenes from DVDs in his online lectures. He's on a Windows machine, so I thought that being the only one in our department who uses Windows I could help guide him. I've done plenty of DVD-to-XviD and the like in the past, but never just a scene here or...

I've never been good with power issues on a computer, so I'm really in uncharted territory here. My wife's computer would not start, so I poked around online and came to the conclusion that it was a PSU issue. I replaced it and the machine will still not power on when hitting the power...

I've got an idea for a plug-in for Entourage (something very specific to my office, so nothing I'd release into the massive numbers of pipes of my Internet). Is there documentation somewhere on writing plug-ins for Entourage specifically, or perhaps MS products in general? I'm not a whiz in...

I have a clear plastic hard case, and it cracked when my iPod fell off my desk. It looks rather ugly now and it's time I got a new case. I had an iSkin for my previous 4G iPod, but my wife now has it. I'd like to get a new one but I don't want to wait for shipping/processing from the iSkin...

ALL SOLD! THANK YOU! I'm selling my like-new PSP (Value Pack, including the 32MB stick and whatever else came in the box) so that I can grab a DS Lite when they come out in the US. With it I'm including three games: Syphon Filter: Dark Mirror; Burnout: Legends; and Hot Shots Golf. I also...

After finishing the Thieves Guild and Dark Brotherhood questlines, I decided to take a crack at the Arena. I was shocked that I was able to completely finish this one in the span of an hour or so (including the quasi-side quest for the Arena grand champion, to find out his true heritage). Of...

I have Heatware under carl67lp; there are some glowing reviews there, if I do say so myself! All prices include shipping. For Sale Sony PSP with three games ... I hate to do this. Badly. But I need to put my immediate desires aside and look to my future--and my future needs require...

I'm considering ordering a Memory Stick Pro Duo, but since I don't want to spend a ton of money on it I'd like to get an idea of what my options are. Obviously the included 32MB is fine for my game saves. Right now I have no intention of using the PSP for an audio player--I already have an...

My fiancee's computer died (old Socket A mobo), and we're at the point of possibly replacing it. While my computer setup is relatively new (about a year old), I'm addicted to Oblivion and am considering giving my setup to her and getting a new motherboard and video card (keeping the CPU, RAM...

I received a PS2 yesterday with the knowledge that there was a DRE problem. I assume I can fix it, and that's still my assumption, but I'm running into a couple of walls. First off, I've determined the following: Audio CD playback (on at least one CD) works PS1 game playback works on one...

I've got a dump of my MySQL databases, and since I no longer have a Web host (nor will I be getting one--I need not the expense) I need a way to use some of my database-driven applications in other ways. Primarily I have a bookmarks DB and a product key DB that I need access to. Sure, it's...

I've been talking with my boss about the redesign of our site, and we got into a side discussion about fonts. He mentioned that serif fonts are proven to be easier to read. I concurred, but with the qualification that the assumption is based on print media. On the Web, I argued, it's been...

My fiancee has my old Socket A system and lately it's been being a bastard. While I had it, everything ran okay. I put the motherboard/CPU/RAM into a new case for her (with a generic 400W power supply--her choice, not mine) and things were okay. About a month ago the system would hang when...

I'm cancelling my Web hosting service and have found replacement tools for most of what I used it for--Google's personalized home page does my weather/news stuff, and I'll put database things on other platforms. What I'm lacking, though, is a nice bookmark tool like Active PHP Bookmarks...

I just got a new Samsung PM-A840 cell phone, and I noticed that it supports Java. I'd like to figure out how to do some programming on it, and I'm hitting a bit of a wall finding info out online. I've done enough programming in general (C++, Perl, PHP, and the like) to pick up Java again (I...

I've got the DS, now I'd like the gizmos that go with it. The SuperCard looks pretty good, as do a couple of others. I'd like something that can play homebrew stuff, as well as any backups I make so I can safely store away the originals. ;) I don't want to spend a fortune--hence the...

I found a site that talks a bit about doing an NES-to-USB mod, but they mention that a kit must be purchased (for ~$17) to perform the conversion. I suspect I could get the parts from my local Radio Shack and could do things myself, but I haven't found any information on the Web that talks...

As I mentioned in the stickied thread, I bought a Nintendogs DS bundle. Trouble is, my fiancee likes to play it too, and I found I had to "buy" her a dog of her own, lest she mess with the commands I'd taught my own dog. It was then that I realized that, at least as far as I can tell...

The subject is my question. I'm debating getting one of these, and I'd like to find out everyone's opinions. Yup, did the search thing, and didn't see a direct head-to-head comparison; however, I saw a few tangential discussions about the two portables. Seems that the general talk is that...

I use phpMyAdmin to handle data uploads to a MySQL database, mainly when the size of the data is large. In a recent application, I realized I forgot to handle duplicate entries in the original XLS file. It's coming back to bite me in the ass, thankfully not severely, but I'd like to know how...

I was browsing through my local Craig's List site when I came upon a "Power Player" setup. Originally dismissing it as a typical 20-in-1 game system, I ended up doing some research to find out that it instead has dozens, if not hundreds, of games in its memory, including some classic NES games...

Pioneer In-dash CD Player I recently moved over to a new in-dash radio, and no longer have need of my DEH-P4300 player. I loved this thing, and I hated to give it up, but it was time for a change. It works beautifully, and even has a remote control and CD changer input. The detachable...

I just took delivery of my new XFX GeForce 6800, and before I installed it I ran 3dMark05 with my ATI 9600XT so I could find out the improvement. (Incidentally, 2050 with my setup.) I removed the ATI drivers from the system, then the card itself, then installed the XFX card and the 81.84...

I've got a custom-built application for which I'm using LDAP as a login mechanism. Problem is, recently we've been having "outages" where people can't login. I don't really know what the error is either, so I don't know if it's the campus LDAP server that's bombing, or if it's my application...

I'll be leading a training session next week for people new to Web design. The nature of the site is that Dreamweaver and other WYSIWYG editors aren't suitable (PHP template-type design). Thus, I'd like to teach them raw XHTML and CSS. I personally use and like HomeSite, but I don't want to...

Recently I posted about troubles I was having with my reasonably new A64 setup. I ended up purchasing a new PSU (XClio 450W) to try to solve my problems. Alas, I have a new problem. Recently I bought Rise of Nations: Gold Edition (patched to the most recent version). When playing for more...

I recently bought a stick of PQI memory (512MB) from NewEgg for my fiancee's dad's computer, as well as a DVD burner (NEC 3540A). He's got an Abit KG7 motherboard with an Athlon XP 1600+ processor. Apparently, when my fiancee attempted to use the machine, it wouldn't POST--she said it...

I'm a big fan of the Burnout series of games on the consoles, and when my buddy showed me the demo of Burnout: Revenge, I craved more. Unfortunately, I recently sold both my Xbox and my PS2, and I don't intend to get a console again until after the PS3 comes out--and probably longer than that...

It rather pains me to put this up, but I think it's time. I've decided to sell my beloved Meade LX200 8" Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope. It's been a real passion of mine, but of late I haven't had the energy to use it, nor have I really had the time. Telescope The 'scope is a Meade LX200 8"...

http://www.dvdshrink.org/ "The (only) **Official** DVDShrink Site IS NO MORE!" I wonder if maybe the site is gone, but the software remains...? Let us hope!

I've begun ripping all of my audio CDs with EAC + LAME, using the "standards" of the Uberguide, and I've been pleased with the results. However, since I own an iPod, I'm essentially forced to use iTunes as my media player (although I do like iTunes, so it's not that big of a deal). First...
