For uniformity's sake, why not place the ad at the bottom of the forum in the same position as the ad on top? The ad on top is above the header of the page, right below the [H] logo--for best uniformity, the ad at the bottom should then be below the footer of the forum as well. Probably right...

Well, this is annoying. I don't have any other issues with Vista, so I guess one was bound to crop up eventually. I understand that several of the built-in sidebar gadgets are RSS-based such as the stock ticker and weather gadget, and all of them have quit updating themselves. My weather gadget...

I was lusting after a ThinkPad ultraportable this afternoon, so I went to configure one and see what the price would be. As to be expected, one of the options is the type of screen that you get. But what confused me was that the options were either a 12.1" XGA TFT or a 12.1" XGA STD... What...

Have an old computer whose Asus A7V8X board just went bad... I'm hoping on the off-chance that I can find one here so I can do a quick swap and not have to reinstall the OS. Let me know if you've got one...

Well, my dad called me the other day and said there was a mysterious smoke coming out of their computer. Apparently, my parents' Asus A7V8X decided to shoot itself in the face via the power supply, so I need a new mobo to replace theirs with. Reliability would be awfully nice, and if it was...

After several delays and almost two months of waiting, as of 2:04 this morning my AppleTV has finally shipped. I admit I'm a package-tracking addict and immediately hopped over to the FedEx site to check the progress even though it's been barely eight hours since it was shipped and I was...

Disclaimer: This is a noob question. I have a BFGTech 7800GT OC that I'm quite satisfied with in every aspect except for the fact that the thing sounds like a hair dryer inside my case and is by far the loudest video card I've ever owned. I'd like to decrease the noise level as much as possible...

I've been approached by a local church about adding a Podcast subscription-esque feature to their website to distribute some of their weekly recordings. I know the rudementary basics of web-design but am pretty clueless about RSS feeds and I've Googled around and have not had much success with...

On my G5 (OS X 10.3.9) the finder hangs every time I open the Documents folder and the only way to get it to respond again is to relaunch the Finder. I think this is being caused by the fact that one of the files in that folder isn't getting along with my computer very well. Is there any way to...

I have several bandwidth-intensive programs I want to run on a computer with several less than stellar connections... Unfortunately, all of my programs try to default to using my best connection and end up overloading it. Is there any way to force certain programs to use a certain connection...

Well, I'm runnning out of options... Regarding the drive referenced here, I'm hoping that maybe replacing the PCB will revive the thing before I send it off to some place that will charge me as much as my first car cost to retrieve my data. So here's where you come in: I need to find an exact...

Simple as that--XP x64 Edition won't read ID3 tags on my MP3s... I've done three or four different installs of this OS and they have all had this same issue; my media player can read the tags, but Windows itself won't. This keeps me from sorting my files by anything but name or date. I can show...

And I thought it had finished. Next step? Reboot. Whoops! It hasn't finished yet... Uh oh. Errors? (I forget what these said...something about data being lost. Bummer.) More errors. Then the computer locks up. Crap. I can't get it to respond, so I use the power button. The system makes it into...

I have been having issues with World of Warcraft hard-locking every time I play ever since I built my new system. I suspected it might be a driver issue, and since I had an extra hard drive laying around I decided to do a fresh install and install each driver one at a time until I started...

--If you just want the specs, skip to the bottom.-- Hello again, folks! Up for grabs today we have a very new, very attractive (but also very opened), high quality monitor! For those that have experience with Samsung's Syncmaster line, you know what I mean when I say these things are...

I was at school the other day--lo and behold--they decided to spend some $12,000 on a new digital SLR; the new Kodak DCS SLR/n. I had a chance to play with the thing, so I pulled out my CF card from my Pocket PC and started shooting. Only when I got home did I realize that the shots were in the...

I'm debating buying a new card this season, but I figure I'll need to buy a new processor and mobo to make it worth the upgrade. I can't decide if I need to wait until there's an AMD PCI Express board. My question is this: What speed/generation/architecture/whatever is the point where PCI...

I have an Asus A7V8x with the VIA KT400 chipset...How do I determine the maximum speed CPU I can use? I currently use an AthlonXP 2100+.

See for yourself, my friends. This one is toasty. http://www.buy.com/retail/product.asp?sku=10356583&dcaid=1688 Update: The price has indeed gone up to $26.08.

Friends, I'm in the middle of writing a huge research paper on videogame violence. I'd like some outside opinions as well--what's your take on the whole debacle (I'm sure you know what I'm talking about)? What do you think would be a wise solution? Do you have any interesting web-links or...

Fresh snowfall this morning. Being my favorite thing to photograph, I'm still looking to improve. Post your recommendations for taking good shots in the snow. I'd love to hear you all share some techniques, descriptions of a great shot, camera settings, etc. or even the pictures...
