1) What will you be doing with this PC? Gaming? Photoshop? Web browsing? Home business: writing, "extreme" web browsing (70+ Chrome tabs open at a time), 2-3 simultaneous virtual machines, reverse engineering, light programming, and hobbyist password cracking 2) What's your budget? Are tax and...

Resolved. Can't delete on my own though.

I posted this last week in GM, then remembered that there was an appropriate subforum here for it. We're hiring an entry-level video/photo editor person to join us in some new work. We're all a bunch of techies training other techies, but have never gotten into video style work before. We've...

My current computer has: Asus A8N32-SLI Deluxe AMD Socket 939 motherboard Corsair TWINX2048-3200PT 2GB DDR Dual Channel (Memory Type: DDR-400 (XMS-3200C2), Latency: 2-3-3-6-2T, Format 184-pin DIMM) I would like to upgrade to 4GB but, of course, that RAM is no longer available. Is there a...

Fixed it :)

My company is developing online educational videos and guides in-house. We have a Sony HD camcorder and a Canon 40D still camera. Most of our work will be recording live presentations, but there'll be a fair amount of still photography work. We're looking for a set of lighting for around...

I've posted on this in the past, and now all three of my Xbox controllers have deadzone issues. The thumbsticks don't return cleanly back to the deadzone will read a certain direction even when they're untouched. Two controllers have affected left thumbsticks, the third is the right tumbstick...

Picked up a copy of L4D for Xbox from GameStop a few weeks back. They had a case for the Game of the Year edition mixed in with the regulars, so I picked that up. The worker leafed through the dozens of L4D disks she had to find the GotY one, which she said was not labeled but only...

I have a few GBs of Wireshark PCAP log files that are a PITA to read through. I'm basically trying to figure out the traffic usage. Looking at conversations and endpoints, I can see the amount of traffic, but just the IPs involved. I've been manually searching, but at their size, it takes 15...

I've been an iPod Touch user for two years and finally decided to get the iPhone 3G, to avoid carrying my Touch and my phone around separately. I'm still trying to figure out how to get the iPhone to act like the Touch in many ways. The biggest thing for me now is video playback. I have a...

Our administrators recently implemented PKI into our web server for developmental connections. It's a Linux server that we SFTP up content and SSH in to change permissions. With the PKI, I can still SSH in with no issues, but have difficulty with the rest. Since this is totally new to me, I'm...

On the prowl for a new phone now. I've previously had a Nokia 6800 (fold open keyboard) and Audiovox SMT5600. I currently have a RAZR V3 and hate it. I would like to get another smart phone. I don't surf and don't use email on it, but use calendars, photos, videos, and mostly text and...

I'm trying to write an automated script for a custom webapp we're using. It expects content pages to be in sequential order, from p001.htm to p099.htm, etc. Because it's nearly impossible for us to find content, I decided to rename the files based upon their subject, and make a symlink back to...

FYI - SOLD! Price lowered! $6,000 1993 Black Lightning, with all available options from the factory (tow package, rear slider, tube bumper, etc). I bought it in March of 2001 with 164K miles on it. This is the same truck on the Wikipedia Lightning page (which I wrote :)). It had a few cameo...

My company has just finalized a new domain name, on a server running on a dedicated IP. I'm now looking into SSL certificates, but am trying to learn a lot in a short period of time. Our site is HTTPS only, and I believe we have simple self-signed certs, or a generic one used by our...

Not really stuck, but it would be 30 minutes to go out of my way. I just got to Dais (spider cave), but it seems I can't go any further without Komachi in my party to remove the webs. Yet, I can't change my party here. I can't change my party in the woods. Do I have to walk all the way back...

Screenshot shown below. When making a new thread or a reply, the style buttons immediately above the comment box have black backgrounds and are nearly impossible to read. If you hover over them, they get a grey background, but still doesn't look right. I hovered over a few in the middle...

I had an unusual thought today that I ran with, wondering if a person's preference for PC vs. console gaming could be influenced by their relationship status. i.e., are single people more into PC gaming than consoles? Is a married gamer also into PCs for "alone" time. Or, do married couples...

[edit:] Problem fixed We use a proprietary CMS system for a private training site. All content is wrapped in an AJAX environment, and we supply content for a section of the page with XHTML (Traditional) code. For our purposes, I hacked in a quick little forum by putting it into an iframe at...

My company has a small digital sign, based upon IE and HTML pages. For one of the pages I have a straight URL to AccuWeather.com to pull up their forecast for our area. However, we need to change real estate and get the forecast into a small bar at the bottom. The question is.. how? As a...

While good with networking, I've always been weak on name servers and their role in making new domain names. My company is looking to get a .EDU domain name, but the .EDU registrars do not have internal name servers. We don't have any locally. So, I would assume then that we would have to...

We have a server on a co-loc, but have a need to throw a really quick and dirty forum app to test a new theory. Instead of going through a few weeks of working through on-site admins to set things up and work into a database, I'm looking for a quick and dirty file-based forum program, such as...

In my line of work I write a lot. Much of this goes into training manuals which I offer to clients for use in training courses. This is currently done by just keeping Word documents for each chapter and topic. At times, information is shared between multiple courses, so I just copy a document...

My company has a few hours of training videos that we want to post onto our training site. To be sure we follow ADA policies, etc, we want to supply transcriptions of the audio for those who need them. Does anyone have any experience with good transcription software for this? We're not...

We just had an HP Z3100 plotter installed and ran through the trial photo paper in doing driver tests. Now, we need more paper. The plotter is primarily for printing out large database schemes and MS Project Gantt charts. The printer supports up to 44" wide paper, but does that also mean I...

Some time back, while rewiring my network, I was changing settings on my XP personal box. Can't remember why, but it was a year ago. The sum effect is that it's pissing me off. I have a public share of videos and music that I share to my HTPC. However, anytime I add a new file or folder to...

This is driving me up the wall. There are times when I just want to switch controllers, but the Xbox 360 won't let you. My son has a blue controller, and it's HIS ONLY. OK, fine. But, if we want to switch so that I get first player and he gets second, we can't do that. Even if you turn...

Short question: Why doesn't OpenOffice 3 associate document files with the app? I just walked my parents through an install over the phone the other week, but am now fielding daily questions on "Why won't my file open?" "What do you mean by associate?" "Shift click what?" A purely inane...

I just picked up Oblivion this week and chugging through it. It was on for about 8 hours today when I started having issues (8 hours of on-time, only 4-5 hours of that actually playing). I saved my game while sneaking through a boat, got spotted, and reloaded the save. The game instantly...

Here's the situation: 100 Workstations, each using a sysprepped XP The build on each workstation is re-imaged every 4-5 weeks. The users of the workstations will sometimes need to use Vista to process data, but only for a few hours at a time. This processing MUST be done on that...

First off, I'm not an Outlook user. At home and abroad I use The Bat!, but at work it's Outlook only. I've been using it off and on for 8 years here but still can't figure these things out. For all of my inboxes, the columns shown are wrong. The sorting columns shown are: Importance |...

I currently have my Xbox Live account tied to my Comcast email address. I would like to be able to change it away to my own domain name for when I switch ISPs. I see a function that sort of allows this within the Xbox interface, allowing you to switch to another "Microsoft Live" email...

All those years in IT and they were right - as soon as you go into management you lose it all :) Trying to re-setup my home network, a basic one. Modem<--->D-Link MTA<---->Linksys WRT54G<----->Linksys livingroom D-Link MTA has LAN set to: 192.168.15.1 (this, and all others use netmask...

This is not to discuss good or bad, or why people pirate; that's been done in to death. But, I'm a bit shocked over all of the piracy-related threads that have popped up in the recent past. Why is piracy suddenly a hot topic? As an age-old gamer, there has been piracy from the very...

After my old Audiovix SMT5600 died I stuck with an Cingular RAZR V3r. Just recently I picked up a Motorola bluetooth headset for use when driving. However, the voice setup is just plain horrible on this phone. Every online set of instructions seems to suggest options that aren't available...

Question for a Mac Book friend. Is there any software integrated to record audio from the microphone to WAV/MP3/etc? He just needs to record some voicemails from his phone to the system, without having to buy more software.

Not sure where best to ask, so why not the [H]orde. A few questions: If I take a GPL'd product, make modifications geared towards a small audience base, can I release it solely towards that base and no one else? IE, take a GPL program and make it non-sharable outside NASA, Law Enforcement...

I've got 55hrs logged into GTA4 already on my Xbox (open NAT). 92% done and hunting pigeons now. I decided to give multiplayer a shot this morning... and I'm sort of lost. I went through the tutorial, then went on. I choose Ranked Race... and I'm the only one there. I set up a game and...

I've always been a one-finger person on top of the controller, even when the PS2 put two buttons up there. I've run into an increasing number of games lately where you really need two fingers working simultaneously on each side of the top of the controller. This piqued my interest into how...

This is for my HTPC: Gigabyte GA-8IRXP Intel P4 1.8Ghz Crucial 512MB (2x256) PVR-150MCE Various NVidia cards I've been using this box for nearly two years now. After some software updates of my DVR software (SageTV), 512MB wasn't enough. I couldn't watch shows while it was recording...
