What you are trying to do is a much better way to provide "Help and Feedback". They should change the name of this subforum to "We Lock Your Threads With No Responses". Don't get me wrong, I really do appreciate the people who make this forum work. But locking someones thread without a...

Thanks for working on it. We cant see the new sticky when we can't see any posts newer than 3 days old. Thanks for your patience and understanding.

Am I banned or something? IE and firefox show no posts newer that the 7th in the help and feedback. Why was that last post closed with no response?

They were there this morning. Now they are gone again. Nothing newer than the 9th. Even the post in this forum that was locked for no apparent reason, with no reasonable response, is gone. Firefox 2 or 3, both the same.

I just lost 24 hours. Is it me? Was it all a crazy dream and this is the reality? Oh snap. Even this post dosen't exist in real time.

I finally have a dual boot I can live with. My Windows Thunderbird install is backed up and all OK. I configured my other Thunderbird install this morning (gmail.com POP settings already set) and it downloaded the last 3 messages that my Windows Thunderbird had not yet accessed. So I go back...

When I scroll through album covers in Coverflow, one "click" of my wheel will skip over two album covers. I can't find an adjustment in itunes. Has anybody ever been concerned about this enough to fix it so that one click brings up the next album?

At work everyone has a piece of a network drive. It is H:, no matter what workstation you log into. Everyone has their own H:. My H: is "username$ on networkname (networkidsuchandsuch). The data on everyones H: drive is separate form everyone elses. We are not allowed to have an excessive...

Lately when I do a search, I only get a few results. Even when I know that I have posted with the keywords, older post will not come up in the search. I've even gone into advanced search and checked the "search from" settings. Am I doing something wrong? P.S. I don't come in here too often. Why...

Heres my laptop shot with a thermal imaging camera. It's an XPS M170. No programs running for at least an hour before the picture. The last one is the laptop next to an old IBM LCD.

Has anybody had a chance to play with this? Is it an OS or does it run in Windows on a car PC?

I haven't heard any talk or seen any links anywhere about the possibilities of Live Linux Discs on Blue-ray. Seems like it would open up a lot of options. Carrying a large video collection or your entire music collection on one bootable disc? Entire workstations with as many apps as you could...

I'm away at work for a week. My wife called yesterday to tell me there was a package from "Strobe". Inside was a "complimentary" Netgear Skype phone. It was addressed to me. I have no memory of signing up for this. Googling strobe and Skype get me nothing. Does anybody remember this? EDIT: My...

Normally I'd run a search, but it's down so be kind. Whats the most effective way to get video blogs downloaded automatically? I use Miro for rocketboom, diggnation, systm, and some yoga. Cali Lewis (Geekbrief) is the only channel that I can copy straight to my psp. The rest need to be...

Does anyone have any freeware smartphone programs they'd like to recommend? Or any smartphone freeware sites?

I like the Gparted distro. The one where gparted is the only program and it autostarts. Does anyone know of a tutorial to make my own where a media player would be the only program on the disc and i would just autostart? P.S. Sorry for the typos.

It's the only "sims" game that I ever enjoyed. Is there any other golf game that compares?

I watched a new TV show last night called Moonlight. It's about a vampire (who apparently has no problem walking around in daylight) who works as a private investigator for the police dept. First time I saw it. I noticed to things. Instead of having "the news" on TV (in the show), they had news...

I used to have a program that ran in Windows. You told it where your .iso was, selected some customization options and it would burn the distro to CD or USB. I can't even come close to remembering the name. Edit: Nevermind. "Myslax Creator".

Got this from one of my news blogs this morn'. The very first two transistors on a silicon wafer by Fairchild Semiconductor. Look at the center, it kinda rings a bell, don't it?

I have 4 SATA's that I want to put into one external enclosure. I dont want to pay the extra price for a NAS device because I can connect it straight to my HTPC and set the drives as shared. But all of the external enclosures I find are for single drives. Is there a cheap multi drive option...

Slashdot had an article about a $150 laptop. http://linux.slashdot.org/linux/07/07/25/1519256.shtml Heres a link to the site. http://www.medisoncelebrity.com/ With the 4 to 6 week delivery statement, I'm guessing that they are building them as they are ordered. I'm looking for opinions before...

My daughter is 11 going on 16. She will turn 12 later this month. And her most desired birthday present is a laptop. I've been wanting to play with an Apple for a while but won't spend a ton. I just won an auction for a clean (I hope) G3 300 mhz Powerbook Wallstreet with 128mb RAM and a 12 gig...

The search is out, so forgive me. I reassembled a machine with an Asus A8N-SLI Deluxe. I've rebuilt with this mobo several times and never had a problem. This time I installed Ubuntu and couldn't get the drivers to work for crap. No sound at all. I fresh installed XP Home and now the audio...

I've got a Dell M170. I've had Windows MCE running on it for a while. I reinstalled the OS and nVidia drivers when it was new and once more time since then. I recently had a chance to install Vista Business on it. Completely legit. I didn't like it and swapped back to my original MCE...

I gooped up too much solder across 3 points. I don't have access to a sucker or a wick (I'm at a remote work location). Does anyone have any neat tricks to remove solder?

I'm running a 3500+ 2.2 ghz in my HTPC right now and the case is a little too hot for my happiness. Newegg has a special right now on a 3200+ 2.2 ghz. How much cooler do you think that would be...

So far I have tried: Wiisic http://wiisic.max-maurer.de/ Easy to set up but didn't like the navigation options. Ajaxamp http://www.ajaxamp.com/ Super simple Winamp plugin. Interface is default Winamp skin, but just didn't fit my TV's resolution. WiimediacenterX by Red Kawa...

What's the trick to running a .jar file in XP. I'm trying out media servers for my Wii and I found 2 that execute by .jar.

I got a evaluation version (legit) of Windows Homw Server. So far so good but for one flaw. Microsoft touts this as headless, but whenever power cycles, I have to login with my username and password. Kind of a pain in the ass to do with no monitor or keyboard. Does anyone have any experience...

I have 9 joost invites that I'll trade for invites to some HD torrent site invites. I'll check back tomorrow afternoon.

www.woot.com has an HP Media Center PC up today. Refurbished. $380+$5 I could have, but how many of you actually look in the Deals forum.

Bought my case from newegg and a Microsoft MCE Keyboard form eBay. Neither came with an IR reciever. What do I look for to make this work. Will a generic IR device like UIRT or any USB IR reciever work? MCE or Vista solutions will apply.

A friend bought a new Dell Axim. He's not to savvy and asked me to set it up for him. I hard reset it and connected it to my laptop. My user name on my XP account is Chris. I squared away installing all of his software, set up his Owner Information, and synced some mp3's to his storage card...

I was just enuff offended by this to start a poll (but not enuff to respond in the original thread and start problems). So I'd like to get some numbers. Please, PLEASE be totally honest.

It may be a little premature to start shouting about this, but I'm really excited. I've been shopping eBay for a while looking for an antique floor radio that I can turn into a mp3 jukebox. Nowadays it's a joke to think that you can get a good deal on eBay. Reasonable items are so few and far...

There are lots of drive bay devices for 3.5" and 5.25" external bays. There are fan controllers, temperature monitors, card readers, remote controls and various LCD's. What useful things do y'all have (or would like to have) in your drive bays? I ask cuz I just ordered my new case and I'd like...

I just got my first HDTV with my tax return. I could have afforded bigger, but a 37" was the biggest I could fit in my TV cabinet (which I like enough to make the sacrifice). I've got about 3/8ths of an inch gap on either side. My plan was to use my everyday PC and buy a Media Center case. Has...
