    Red-light Cameras Increase Crashes

    Traffic light camera's are not there to reduce accidents at all, they are simply a revenue stream for the city. Thats it.

    shut down in the middle of reformat

    The reason i'd start a new thread is because its a different hard drive and a new issue. The laptop is good now. :) I've currently used Handy Recovery v1 (using http://www.ubcd4win.com) - it was able to pull all the available sectors onto the laptops hard drive, but each file is just a...

    shut down in the middle of reformat

    Thanks for the replies. I was going to create a DOS boot CD and use FDISK, but for whatever reason Vista was able to clear/use the partition. Not sure why but whatever. My new problem is idiocity of epic perportions. (and i'll start a new thread on it in due time) But along the way of...

    shut down in the middle of reformat

    Alright, so i was not paying attention, and while my laptop was in the middle of a (quick) reformat, i decided to use a different OS, and held down the power button to shut it off. Yes, idiotic i know. Anyway, now I'm faced with Windows XP Pro saying there is no hard drive. I also booted...

    Cat5e and power-line interference

    just as an update, and sorry about the confusion on aluminum/tin-foil. I found some area's that the guy running the cable tried to hide. I dont feel like this will cause any issues, but there are several key points in the cable run that were very disappointing to discover. I forgot to...

    Cat5e and power-line interference

    wait, what? i cant see where anyone mentioned aluminum... Also as an update, i was just at my house working on this. I kind of got frusterated. I found a few area's where it seemed like the guy who installed it was trying to hide stuff. So it just makes me wonder where else he may have...

    Cat5e and power-line interference

    For the sake of future Googler's, here is what I found. Disclaimer: I am not trying to slander anyone's advice, I usually feel pretty confident in my internet research, but on this subject, I’ve had a very hard time finding solid ground as far as reference material (i.e. research papers...

    $60 WRT54G linksys router to $600 router, Anybody tried?

    I've done the $60 to $600 router conversion and here are my thoughts. it adds a ton of functionality. Much more than i ever used, mostly because i couldn't figure out how to work it. I used the DD-WRT (i think thats it) firmware. However, linksys, in my humble opinion, is a poor nerd...

    Cat5e and power-line interference

    Cat5e and power-line interference

    I'm not really sure how to test the lines though; my computer system is out of commission until I move in (watercooled). And I’m not sure how I could test. I'd want to resolve any issues before I patch up all the drywall just in case I need to pull out a line and run it again. I was going to...

    Cat5e and power-line interference

    If i were to place some sheet metal inbetween the cat5e and the power, would that shield against issues coming from the power? and would grounding that shield to the raft actually ground it or would it need to be tapped into the actual ground on the electctric wire?

    Cat5e and power-line interference

    I just bought a house and while remodeling decided it would be best to get my cat5e put in. Tonight the guy running the cable finally finished up. My goal is to have gigabit speeds on these lines, thus the cat5e. In my previous research I often came across the advice to keep the cat5e...

    team fortress 2 teaser released

    good eyes on that one. I agree. Also, on the cartoon look. I like it, but I don’t want to sacrifice the blood-play in the game (splattered on walls, heads going poof, etc). As blood was one of the most memorable things for me. The first time I saw TFC was walking in on my friends older...

    My own watercooled xbox360!

    As others have answered, and I’d like to reiterate. The Xbox 360 is a freakin wind tunnel. This may not hold true to alot of you, but I’m sound conscious, and watching a DVD on the 360 is out of the question. I'm just a whiney ass when it comes to sound, but i cant stand the stuff less it be...

    pretty [H]ot! a decent radar detector for under $25 at Wally World (YMMV).

    my personal belief on radar detectors is that you're wasting your money if the radar detector is under $450. Because they simply do no not work.
