This is a bit of a vague thread, and that's because I don't really know what I want. But if you have any type of laptop for sale, that might be good news for you. This process is a bit rough for me. I was a huge computer geek on top of my game back in the mid to late 2000's, but now I'm just a...

Having a problem with my trusty Panasonic TC-P50U1 50" plasma. Wondering if anyone has some tips. It's about 8 years old and kind of out of date, but the picture is (normally) great and I'd hate to replace it if I don't have to. I moved the TV a few months back, and after setting it back up...

Weird problem. Just upgraded my MOBO, CPU, RAM and added an SSD as primary boot (not the problem drive). The drive in question is a secondary 1TB drive for storage. The problem drive (1TB SATA), PSU, and video card are all from my previous build and worked absolutely fine. After making these...

Girlfriend just got a new laptop (entry level Dell Inspiron) and it seems to be picking up a local radio station. This happens regardless of whether it is plugged in to the wall or not, and no other devices are connected. It's really noticeable when using headphones, but you can still sometimes...

Gone!

SOLD After some debate... I'm finally admitting to myself that I have no musical talent and would like to pursue other hobbies. :) As such, must say goodbye to my beautiful guitar. It's an Epiphone Les Paul Standard in Heritage Cherry Sunburst. I purchased it brand new for $369 (plus...

I've got a Sony PRS-505 ebook reader, silver, that I've probably read 7 or 8 books on. It's in mint condition. Comes with a tan cover (to protect the device and make it look more like an actual book when closed). Load it up with books via USB (on internal memory) or slip in a memory card and...

Wondering if any of you guys can help. Been trying to play some games lately, but for the past week I've been getting ""Steam is having trouble connecting to the Steam servers" whenever I try to login to my account. Never had a problem before. It all started after I rebooted one day and it...

Looking for a USB desktop microphone I can use for voice-over work. Looking for something decent quality that will help my voice sound as professional as possible. Hoping to go USB to avoid excess sound card noise, and be able to use it on multiple systems without buying an expensive card for...

Well, lost my job a while back and the job market hates me, so time to convert some of my possessions into something that can pay the bills & buy food. :) I don't sell a lot of things online so no heatware, but my old eBay account is still up with feedback...

Wicked fun game if you like engineering things like I do http://www.freewebarcade.com/game/fantastic-contraption/

Okay, I'm kind of confused here, so I could use some help. Streaming content (namely Pandora, Last.FM, similar apps) is very slow over my home wifi. Takes forever to buffer, and when it starts playing, it takes a break to buffer every 20 seconds or so. Works great over 3G. However, here's the...

First off, I want to say that I know there is a stickied thread at the top of this forum -- I've already looked through it and it doesn't fit the question I'm asking. Anyway, I'm going to be launching a site soon as part of a business project, and the basic $4 a month web hosting plans with...

Hi all! :) Up for sale is an HTC Touch Viva (T2223) with Windows Mobile 6.1. I purchased it brand new in June, and it's in great condition. All of the factory packaging is included, as you can see in the pictures. I've been using it with AT&T, but the phone is unlocked. It's a...

Man, I can't believe I let my computer get so out-of-date. Okay, here's what I'm currently working with: Intel 2.66 ghZ single-core processor from 2003 Abit IS7-E motherboard Radeon 9800 Pro 128MB 1 GB of DDR lol Just ordered this from Newegg: AMD A64 X2 7750 2.7G AM2 Retail...

Wasn't sure where to post this, almost just threw it up in General Mayhem, but figured this section would make more sense. OK, say I would want wire a headphone jack on an electronic device so that when I plug something into it, it still outputs as normal, but does NOT mute the sound from...

Okay, built a system a few months back, then my friends got me hooked on XBox gaming, so I don't really use it... Parting out what's left of it in my v.2 thread I've never used Heatware or anything, so all I can offer is my multi-year [H] status and my 100% positive 289 feedback ebay profile...

Okay, built this system a few months back, then my friends got me hooked on XBox gaming, so I don't really use it... I'll sell you the whole system if you jump on it before people start buying the parts, but chances are someone will buy something before you get the chance. I've never used...

I see this a lot - if I try to log in to the forums but don't check remember me, it simply sends me back to the main page, not logged in. No matter how many times I try to log in again, it just says "You have successfully signed in" or whatever, but then it redirects me, and I'm not logged in...

Got my Q6600 G0 yesterday, I have it prime stable overnight at 3.2 ghZ (356x9) @ 1.5 volts (I'm testing it now with a little less voltage, still seems to be stable). The problem, of course, is I want MOARRRR! Are there any tricks to squeezing more out of it? My temps are actually really good...

I've FINALLY got around to ordering the parts to upgrading my PC. It's overdue. No, I mean, overdue. My current system? Pentium 4 2.66 ghZ (the 533 mhZ FSB one) 1 GB DDR A 9800 pro 74gb raptor Amazingly, I actually downloaded the COD4 demo and it was playable at 1280x1024, and really wasn't...

Is there such a thing as a good IVR system that is freeware or open source? Something like VoiceGuide or Broadcast By Phone or Spitfire X or something? The only catch is I do need it to have an autodialer or work with one somehow. Thanks!

OK, I have a 360 Arcade on the way... I know it has no HD, which means no XBox live or playing the old XBox (non-360) games. However, I know you can just plug an external drive into the USB port (or even a large cap. thumb drive). With one of those, will I be able to play Live or older XBox...

What do you think is a fair price for a basic web design package? It would include: - All design work - Uploading to servers and making it live (hosting / domain extras) - Up to 3 sub pages, each additional subpage $25 - Basic text / image content, contact us forms, etc. - no advanced...

I have a couple PC's that I need to prevent people from downloading (or just from installing) EXE's. No fancy networks, just Windows XP systems behind a Linksys WRT54G & DSL. Is there some way to make a restricted user account that can't download/install?

Notice: I am a Flash newbie. This is my first flash site, and I have no idea what I am doing. OK, with that said, I have a flash template that I am modifying for a website. I found this contact form script: http://www.macromediahelp.com/flash/php_flash_contact_form/ And I'm trying to...

I know everyone in the modern day programs their sites with CSS and intricate programming and all, I'm just wondering why? Ever since like 1997 I've programmed sites using HTML and tables. I usually still do the same - and really, it's very fast and efficient for me to make a page using that...

OK, say you have a wireless router (Linksys WRT54G), and 2 computers configured for wifi. You've set up the router on the default SSID, security disabled, all of that, as simple as can be, broadcast SSID enabled and all, but neither computer will find the signal from the router. The wifi works...

I was wanting to automatically backup a couple of folders to an external hard drive every day, but I don't want to use third party software or anything bulky. So, I typed the DOS commands for copying the folders using XCOPY from my main HD to the external, saved it as a .BAT file and set it...

I just ordered a Super Talent 4GB Thumb Drive from Newegg. I would love to be able to use this on different people's PC's without too much worry of it being taken over by a virus. Is there any simple way to keep a virus on a system from taking over the drive once I put it in? I'd hate to have...

Update on problem: Say I want to browse the "post your workstation" thread, and I get to it by clicking on a link to the thread under "Last Post". Of course, the thread opens with the page scrolled to the last post, because that's what you clicked on. So, you hit the Home key to scroll to...

I just spent several hours playing the NFS:Most Wanted demo. It's an awesome, awesome game idea, and it's tons of fun to play, but there are few things that could make me think twice before buying it. I love the concept - an NFS: Underground type layout, with cops. Nothing could be better...
