    USB Bluetooth Adapter for Vista x64

    I'm looking for a USB Bluetooth adapter to sync my pocketpc (htc 8525) with my desktop. What bluetooth adapters are out there that have Vista 64bit drivers? It's easy to find Vista support on Newegg and manufacturers' sites, but the information usually doesn't distinguish between 32 and 64.

    Parkan 2 - any good?

    Parkan 2. I heard about this game on IRC today (from a guy who hopes it will revive his space gaming enthusiasm after he was crushed and disgusted by the horrible voice acting in Darkstar One). From Russia. It's an FPS where you can also pilot ground attack robots and fly spaceships between...

    CSS float in IE - what fixes this?

    I'm updating this site to use CSS for its navigation menu instead of the right frame, because I'm running out of room without scrolling. Here's what I've got so far. Looks good in Firefox, but IE is butchering it because of the floats :( And floating was the best way I could find to get...

    I miss "Chain of Command"

    Free online-only RTS-ish WWII game, USA vs. Germans. Built-in clans (regiments) and rank. Each player controlled a fire team of four men. Emphasized strategy and teamwork. Ran for a couple of years and then shut down, probably because the ad revenue wasn't enough to satisfy the company...

    Why is FF Chopping Off This Left Frame?

    http://www.ccccd.edu/csce/test/ Compare the left frame in IE vs. FF. Firefox loses several pixels, cutting off the period in "Smart Move." from the background image, and making the word "Schedules" wrap to the next line. I've got the width of that frame set to exactly the background...

    We are the Borg..

    Just getting some UD smack-talk going. I obtained permission and borged three Pentium 4 systems at work today. Now I should be able to rise above #22 in points production... put heat on more people, and in particular, smoke adowding sooner :D (Current overtake estimate is 16.4 days...

    Joining UD

    Shark-MegaByte is onboard with [H] UD. I was doing UD a few years ago and founded SysOpt.com's team, but retired when I didn't bother to reinstall the client after a few OS wipes. Just the box in my sig for now. I might be able to borg a machine or two at work though. According to...

    Recommend Replacement for Disappointing Antec TP2 550

    I'm replacing my Antec TruePower2 550w. It doesnt seem to be able to carry the load during gaming - Asus PC Probe gives 12v readings of 11.9 idle, dipping to 11.78 under load. The 'supply is being RMA'ed to Newegg. I know BIOS and software voltage readings are usually not 100% accurate, but...

    Getting the performance out of the Oblivion 'Chuck' patch

    I am testing an x1800xt 512 because I got tired of the problems I was having with my 7900gt and wanted to see if red could do better. My main game is Oblivion. I've got the 6.3 Chuck patch installed with Catalyst 6.3, and I'm not getting AA to work with HDR. When I try in the game's video...

    used 7800gtx vs new 7900gt

    I was going to put an evga 7900gt (newegg, $319+ship) in my new system, but just today I was offered an evga7800gtx that has been used in a demo machine at a local retailer that specializes in gaming systems. They'd let me have the 7800gtx for $300. I haven't looked extensively at 7800s, so...

    A64x2 pci-e gaming desktop - vantec stealth 520w?

    Locking in the final parts list for a new system. Considering Vantec Stealth 520w for the psu. I don't think I'll be needing a lot of power headroom because I'll be staying non-SLI and when upgrading, I don't add drives, only replace them. Is 520w overkill, and what are quiet & reliable...

    7900gt extra cooling solution?

    I'm looking at the eVGA 256-P2-N565-AX Gf 7900GT 256MB PCI-E x16 - this is the one that's 500mhz core / 1580mhz memory. Sounds like it should deliver the performance I want, but some people are saying the factory-oc 7900gt's could use a cooling upgrade - either because they run hot, run loud...

    New Gaming Desktop - parts critique

    I'm ready for a new gaming desktop after using an Inspiron 9100 for the last 2 years. I'm looking forward to picking up Oblivion and want to be able to run games on this system for about 2 years; I don't mind if too much if I have to do some settings tweaking and turn off bells-&-whistles to...

    RAID recovery and odd behavior..

    My friend is running a RAID array, I believe he said it's RAID 5, with five disks. Last night we were doing some updating and installing to clean out spy/adware, and the installer froze in the middle of trying to install WinXP SP2. On restart, a dialog came up that recommended removing the...

    Hiding from the bots

    I would like to know what the best way is to keep bots (spiders, email harvesters, etc) from stumbling across certain directories on a site. It's important that these directories get 0 random hits (or as close to 0 as possible), because those sections will contain php scripts that track and...

    LCD question NOT covered in the FAQ

    I'm looking at buying a small LCD from the FS/FT forum, with the intention of placing it in my Latitude CPx-J laptop. It uses a parallel connection for data, and I don't see a need to change that (I'll just strip the back end down to the wires to make it easier to pass through to the rear of...

    No reasonable offers refused! I'm moving on Sunday and can't take any of this stuff with me. If you want it, make me an offer! I'll accept as long as you make it worth my time to pack it up and ship it! Have a few things to sell or trade, and know what I'm looking for in trade. Getting...
