FYI: The Gamestop buy online and pick up in-store option from the website lists the price at $49.99 but the actual in-store price if you just drive over and buy it there was $29.99 +tax, at least in the Phoenix metro area. I would just use the site to check if it's in stock and call the store...

I just started using the front audio jacks on my Antec 900 and noticed this same thing. Poking around with it today I noticed that as well as the individual ground wires in the audio, USB and firewire jacks there is a case ground as well. Disconnecting the front panel case ground (single black...

This is still valid if anyone was wondering. I had accepted a free one month trial back in December that expired yesterday. Used this today to get another 3 months free. Awesome. Thanks OP!

I got one of these last night in store. They have the same deal but it is with coupon so ask at the door if you need the latest coupon pack (I had to as we originally set our membership up to opt out of mailings). No dead/stuck pixels on the one I picked up and it looks amazing. I had purchased...

-1 Just picked one of these up from this deal on Sunday. It's great! Everything fits well, installation was pretty simple, the included fans are all adjustable and pretty quiet even on medium. Don't just call it a piece of shit without giving some examples of why you feel it's that way. It's...

It looks like Microsoft has mostly unhosed the Technet site now. The Win7 DVD Images are up on the Top Downloads page and are coming in at a much higher speed than the download from the normal Technet software page. If you are currently getting shitty speeds you might want to cancel your current...

It's not about being uncomfortable with Starforce. It's about the fact that the version of Starforce in this game is not compatible with Win7 32 or 64 bit. Starforce also causes all kinds of hell with things like NERO, Daemon Tools or Alcohol virtual drives. If I don't have to uninstall my disc...

To throw in my $0.02: This keyboard has a short physical key height and low top cup (like a laptop). This makes it hard to feel, at least for me, where your fingers are positioned key wise. I didn't/don't have this problem with my normal laptop keyboard, only with this Logitech illuminated...

So much for sleep...

http://mediacoder.sourceforge.net/index.htm Converts from pretty much anything to pretty much anything as long as it isn't DRM protected. Has easy bake profiles for transcoding videos for iPod, Zune and several others.

From the nVidia forums (this worked for me on my 7950GT with ForceWare v162.18 and VA1912WB on DVI): Original posting: http://forums.nvidia.com/index.php?showtopic=21993&st=0

Got a spare bit o' change? I mean, got a second mortgage or personal loan to cover this? Damn, I wanted one too but not for 1000$: http://www.lynxmotion.com/Category.aspx?CategoryID=91 Neat but definitely an ice cold deal. And from the videos the robot pole dancer looks pretty lame. Not worth...

<insert any MMO*G here> is just level/stuff/random crap grinding because the developers/publishers have figured out that they can milk hundreds or thousands of dollars per consumer over the life of the MMO project for mind numbing JUNK as long as they can get them started on the grind...

Pretty cold actually, maybe only even close to a deal if you need it right away. Monoprice is much cheaper: http://www.monoprice.com/products/subdepartment.asp?c_id=102&cp_id=10229&style=

Maybe I am just getting old but who cares how the games look as long as they are fun? I got over the "Oooooh, Shiny!" aspect of video game graphics a long time ago and I wish developers would too. Creating fun and inventive game-play to me is a much better area to spend time in then using...

http://www.netstumbler.com/downloads/ works for diagnosing wireless issues but you have to have a supported wireless card in your PC and I don't know if the Nintendo Wi-Fi adapter qualifies. ThinkGeek also has a USB 2.4Ghz spectrum analyzer that can give you a break down of the actual signals...

Make sure that your flow control on your console connection is set to NONE. If it is set to anything other than none you will get exactly what you are seeing. You can see all input from the device but can't send it any output.

Finally got a shipping notice for my backorder. FexEx shows the package as being in Indianapolis, IN at the moment. Should be on my doorstep tomorrow afternoon.

Bump for YGPM.

Got a notice this morning that the card is on backorder. Woohoo, really glad I paid for next day shipping now. Still a good deal though. I just wonder how long it will take for them to fill the order.

Got mine ordered with no problem. Probably won't get a confirmation or a shipping notice until tomorrow since I assume they are closed by now. $261.98 with next day shipping and no tax. Already have the rebate form printed out and ready to go. This is a really good deal as Circuit Shitty is...

Good luck with that Frys/Outpost rebate. The last couple from them that I have applied for have come back with "Store not authorized for that rebate"... YMMV. Don't buy anything with a rebate that you would be unhappy paying the non-rebate price for.

As long as they access the files that are synched offline from their original path (IE: network drive letter under "My Computer" or redirected "My Documents" folder on desktop) the folder(s) should maintain all directory structure. Only when accessed from the "Offline Files" shortcut on the...

Why go with transparent? Let the employees know what is being changed and tell them how it is going to be. If they don't like it they can find employment elsewhere. Trying to be sneaky about monitoring is just dumb and hurts morale when employees do find out. It's the business owners network...

I have used Gruber in the past for cables without any problems. Gray Bar is another decent distributor to look at.

See signature. Finally lost power long enough to drain the 5KVA UPS we had at the site (8+ hours) due to a forest fire interrupting high voltage transmission lines in the area. It's working on another 4+ years now... It's a Cisco 2621 router running IOS v12.0(16), soon to be upgraded to...

As long as it is the same type (IE: DDR, NOT DDR2) it should work no problem. PC3200 (DDR400Mhz) is the max speed it will utilize the RAM at at stock speeds. The PC4000 should get you a bit more overclocking room if this is what you are shooting for, otherwise it should run no problems at PC3200...

The probability of identity theft from someone stealing your fingerprints/thumbprint is going to be extremely low. More likely if someone was to break into the computing systems at your workplace they would be looking for the employee databases containing useful identity information, such as...

I just told you how to troubleshoot your problem. Contacting the manufacturer isn't going to get you squat. Most likely they'll just tell you the same thing I did. Try following the advice you came here seeking, instead of just reading and ignoring... I'm done trying to help you now. Try some...

One or more of the many things in the front bezel of your case is grounding out against the metal frame of the case or the metal of the bezel. Remove and/or insulate all exposed metal connections and wires and see if the problem continues. In fact, I would remove everything but the LEDs and case...

Another tool to add to that list is Webroot Spysweeper. While not free you can download a 30 day trial to clean her PC up with. Make sure you update it in regular mode and then reboot into safe mode to run it.

Try "arp -a [IP]" from a command line after pinging the IP address you want to RARP. Be aware that if the address is outside of your broadcast domain (subnet, usually divided at a router) you won't be able to do anything with ARP/RARP. The router handles all of that.

The Kermit scripting language is made for exactly what you are trying to do. They have parsers that run on just about every OS out there too... http://www.columbia.edu/kermit/

Lock ups and video distortion are a sign of many potential issues. Things to check (do them one at a time to isolate the problem): CPU: STOP OVERCLOCKING. This should be the first thing you do when you are having stability issues with anything. Video Card: Stop any GPU/VidMem overclocking...

Yes, I mean Windows Update. Go ahead and load SP2, then load the 4-5 patches that have been released since it was. Also consider loading and using FireFox or something other than Internet Explorer if you do a lot of web surfing. This should help avoid Spyware and the like.
