    40' shipping container as a mining shed?

    I'm not sure what you get for snow where you live, but could snow drift blocking the intake become an issue?

    Workstation upgrade from i7-920 feedback

    Thanks for the replies. I spent last weekend getting things up and running and am quite pleased. The 6700k does not come with a heatsink and fan in the box, that's the reason I went with the 212 Evo. It has good reviews and is relatively cheap. I likely would have gone with an i7 6700...

    Workstation upgrade from i7-920 feedback

    My i7-920 is limping along. It has worked well for many years, but lately the motherboard seems to be slowly dying. It can no longer see all attached drives and has lost the C: drive while the machine was running. Rather than spending the money on a used motherboard, I figured this is a good...

    Diablo 3 Discussion Thread

    I was thinking it'd be fun to try some other classes out, but I don't really have the time or the desire to level more characters on my own to 60. Does anyone want to do some runs to level each other's characters? With some +exp gear hopefully it'll be much more efficient.

    Diablo 3 Discussion Thread

    Can someone explain to me why the chipped gems are going for so much gold? Am I missing something? I was looking to free up some space and checked the auction house to see what I could get there and the chipped gems are going for 1,000 gold or more.

    4G Live in New York,Los Angeles and San Francisco,No More Data Charge in non 4G area

    I believe what the article is trying to say is that: 1. People in those locales were paying the extra $10 a month for a service they didn't get 2. They still get to pay that $10 a month, at least now they should get what they pay for I don't think Sprint is dropping the additional fee for...

    Sprint epic 4G impressions

    I was in a Sprint store today checking out the Epic. I was having an issue pressing the back button on the bottom of the phone. I didn't seem to have any issue with the other 3 buttons. It may have been a bad display phone, I'm not sure. Has anyone else experienced this? Any ideas what I...

    My mx518 should arrive on Monday. I ordered it for the same games you are playing. Newegg has a $15 MIR for the mx518 if that helps.

    Starcraft 2 Beta

    Try selecting logout and then exit. I've tried it twice and it worked both times. If I just try to exit, it hangs. Worth a shot.

    Bolt Kit for Cogage True Cooler

    I'm in the same boat, except one of my push pins won't stay down, and I figured the bolt through kit may be a cheaper and better option than an RMA and paying for shipping. Did the bolt through kit work on your Cogage True Spirit?

    Check your local Best Buy ad. Here in MN they have a DI-604 for $4.99 AR and the wireless version for $19.99 AR. I've used both and they've been great.

    Faster: PHP or mySQL

    With such little data in the database my guess is that it'll all be cached in memory and you won't see much if any difference in times. I believe that the "proper" way would be to do as much as you can with SQL.

    I was at Best Buy playing around with a sony 17" notebook and when I changed the resolution it did the exact same thing. I sure didn't see any sort of solution to the problem, if you find anything out please let me know. Hopefully that's not the way it has to be.

    Buy now or wait?

    I've been looking at getting a new laptop, and I think I'm going to hold out at least another month or so. Prices can only come down, so I'd wait unless you really can't wait much longer.

    Pentium M 2.0 vs AMD 3400 64 Mobile

    You might want to wait a month or so for the 533 MHz FSB Pentium M's to hit with the Sonoma chip set and see what their performance is like. If nothing else the prices on the 400 MHz FSB M's should drop.

    Notebook Projected to TV

    If your notebook has an s-video out, then you can run an svideo cable from that to your tv. Then you just need an adapter to split the signal coming from your headphone jack into the rca sized jacks and then just run rca cables from that into the sound for the svideo input on your tv. Hope...

    Problems with D-Link DI-604

    I believe if you hold down the reset button for 10 seconds it will go back to it's initial config and you can see if you set up the router as you previously had it.
