Hitachi Deskstar HD32000 IDK/7K 2TB I'm looking at the drive linked above, much cheaper than other options; however, apparently doesn't have the cache. Is this guy any good / worth buying? How severely would the performance be affected? I'm just looking at this for additional storage on an...

Hey guys, I'm looking at buying a cell booster for our basement as Rogers doesn't seem to do too well down there. Anyway, so Rogers uses 850MHz for their 3G network. The tech specs for the booster I'm looking at says it covers 1850-1910MHz and 824-849MHz (Up) and 1930-1990Mhz and 869-894MHz...

If you don't follow to closely: Also check the site, http://www.endian.com/products/features/release/. Personally, I'm happy.

Alright, I'm working on Project Euler Problem 234. I read it over, thought - well that's easy, and set to it. My code works for the two test cases (n <= 15 and n <= 1000) however upon trying to do the full, large number, its seemingly just sitting there. Now, is my code just incredibly...

Alright, I'm finally getting around to attempting to resolve this issue. My laptop, which I use for programming, has had a few bumps and bruises in it's lifetime. Most recently, my cat knocked it off my end table which just about destroyed my wireless card (landed on it) and killed the hard...

Hey guys, I'm having a slight issue with my loginscript (the second part of it). This was based off of some stuff I found on the net (haven't worked with VBScript before, but I do know VB). Anyway, I'm hoping somebody can point out the problem in this. The network drive gets mapped no...

Hey, We're working with a Windows 2000 Server environment, computers are running Windows XP Professional, there are ~30 of them. Okay, I haven't had a chance to look into this yet, but figure I'll take a shot here ahead of time anyway. We want roaming profiles in the sense that each user...

Hey, has anyone worked with this tool? Know of any better forums where I can ask this question? I've got a map, where you can visit two locations in any order you choose. I also want a specific event to at the first one you visit, and an event to occur at the second one you visit. This...

Hey, Okay so someone has brought a Compaq Presario F700 to me. It came with Windows Vista, but was downgraded to XP. He apparently liked the look of Vista however, and has themes installed (the loader, and login screen included). So, on a normal boot, it will go through the loading bar...

Okay, I've tried just about every trick that I can think of right now, so I'm coming to you. Apparently this is(was) a very common problem. So, my question is, what can I do to get this going? I'm sure there is someone here with experience in the matter. If you need more details just ask...

I'm currently working on Project Euler Problem 25. I'm having problems dealing with the larger numbers (1000 digits is big). I realize I don't really have to store each of these numbers, and if you think it'll help I'll check create a temp variable and switch them around. The problem I'm...

Hey everyone, We're working with Turing in Computer Engineering and in order to clean up some of the code to make it more readable / shorter I'd like to move some of the operations into procedures. One of these operations is to increase each value in an array by i. So is this possible? This...

Okay so, as the title may suggest, I'm trying my hand at using the MooTools 1.2 framework. What I want to do: Fade out the content div Use an ajax request to put in new content Fade the content div back in What happens instead Pretty much skips to the request, putting in the new...

Ok well I had some time today and was doing some planning for if our little LAN party were to get bigger. So here's the diagram i put together (sorry about not having a thumbnail): The 4Gb trunks on the servers are probably overkill unless I were to do some trunking with the 24 Port...

Alrighty, I'm working on this theme and the problem I'm having is in IE 6. You can view the site here: www.lannedandgaming.com/blog It works in Firefox 3 (probably 2 as well), IE7, Opera and Safari. Here's the problem with IE6: (ignore the scrollbars, its just two images put together)...

Hey guys, It seems I've run into a bit of a snag. I'm using the SQL Server ODBC Driver that's available on most windows systems. Now I'll say straight away, that I'm able to connect if I configure a DSN because I can configure which port to use before connecting. However, I don't want...

Ok, some background. Last night this computer was working perfectly fine, noone has used it since then, I came home over school today and it's a blank screen. Rebooting it resulted in the computer restarting once it reached the logon screen (in Safe Mode as well). I've run CHKDSK on the system...

Hi there, I often host a small LAN party with about 6 or 7 of my friends in the basement. Every time we do this I must take our modem and router downstairs, and run a cable to the top floor for computers there that are on a hub. This is well, a pain. I was wondering if its possible to...

Well, I was bored today and had some lego bins sitting in my room, so I made myself a nice case, took a couple of hours: Back: Left: Overview: Don't have any of the front, since right now it's facing the wall. Anyway, that's it!

Catching up on my Security Now! Podcasts I found out about an open-source program called TrueCrypt. I am simply amazed by this program so far. TrueCrypt has to ways to create an encrypted volume: A) File-based: TrueCrypt creates a file which is stored on your harddrive, you can mount...

I think this sounds like a bit of a weird question, but I'll ask anyway. A game I just recently began playing with some friends, requires atleast a P4 1.2Ghz CPU. At my one house I can run this no problem, however at the other, I only have a 1Ghz CPU. Now I'm pretty positive I can run this...

Now, I know my chances are really low of finding any info on this, but thought I'd try. Anyway, we have a Data General Aviion 3650, which is pretty old, and we're looking to just top it up with parts. Problem is, we can't really find anything until we go hunting for 'bulk stores'. We were...

This was the forum where I felt we would get the most answers. We are looking into buying a UPS or replacing the battery in one of our dead ones, so we are trying to figure out the power consumption of our home theater system. There are two key things I am missing and am having trouble...

Hey there, It's time for my brother to upgrade his video card and I'm curious which would be the better choice. I would think the X1600 Pro would last him longer due to the amount of RAM, even though the 6600GT has higher stock speeds (please correct me on this if I'm wrong.) Anyway...

Ok this is on a Asus A8V-E Deluxe, on Windows XP Professional. Suddenly on my computer only, the network has stopped functioning properly. Pinging the router fails 50% of the time. After reloading CMOS defaults, and resettings the rotuer i had it working. SO i went back in and put my clock...

Hi My new motherboard (A8V-E Deluxe) has this extremely little chipset fan on it. According to Asus Probe its going at 9121rpm right now. Anyway my concern is the noise, I swear at times this sounds like the sound played when dialing with the internet on dial-up... just alot worse. Q...

I'm getting a new monitor which has DVI-D and D-Sub inputs. Since you are able to switch between these i figure might as well take advantage. I would like to hook my NES up to the monitor, but I can't find an RCA/Composite > D-Sub/VGA adaptor. I've looked for about half an hour (yeh I'm...

Ok, here's the scoop. Local computer store has some really nice prices on some PC3200 RAM, but all but one of our systems use PC100/133. PC3200 is really the crappiest we can find anywhere, and the prices are too good to pass up compared to normal prices. It's like $60 cheaper. Anyway...

Hey I originally posted this on the Rivatuner Section on Guru3d forums, but am posting here to so i can get twice the input. If anyone can help me with this, id appreciate it.

Ok I just went through tweaking ffdshow, but im having a few probs. I have quite a few media players on my hands, some of which dont work with ffdshow's video capabilites. Windows Media Player (Only uses audio i believe) Intervideo WinDVD 6 Plat (Doesn't use any as far as i know, and cant...

I need a program that can edit and encode a dvr-ms file to avi (or the sort). I've tried Intervideo DVD Creator 2, but the output file isnt actually that smaller, and the sound is off. It uses its own encodes dor divx, so i had the Divx pro codec installed, it came up on the type options, but...

Ok I just hooked up the video-out of my vcr to the s-video in on my tv tuner card. Now im wondering what program should i use to view the tv using the S-Video port, i dont thing media center supports it and ive tried InterVideo WinDVD Recorder, but it doesn't want to show anything, even...

Ok im using MCE 2005, everything works fine, but on Live TV the audio doesn't seem to play, and the video stutters a bit. I installed a better video card and made some changes and it helped majorly, but we still seem to have the live tv problem. The video almost will always studder, and the...
