Thanks for the reply, Mushkins.
I am only using the uptime monitor as a troubleshooting tool to provide info to my ISP. I know that pinging a DNS consumes some of its resources just like clicking on a new link.
My router is an Asus RT-M66U running Asus firmware. I've previously used Tomato on...
I'm sorry but what is the problem with pinging these addresses frequently. When someone uses the ping command with the -t switch there are continuous pings and I've never read that doing so was undesirable.
I frequently read ISP forums where people report connection issues and I am not aware...
I've been experiencing daily reconnects and needed a simple way to log downtime.
I paid $10 for Net Uptime Monitor recommended by beckerdave. NUM does what I want and it's very simple but can be configured as to sites pinged and time interval for tests. The time of day and length of outages...
I just bought a 2TB WD Green WD20EZRX after which I became concerned about reliability and the LCC and the 8 second head parking. Before initializing and formatting I used WDIDLE3 to set the parking time to 300 seconds. So far there have been no problems and the drive is very quiet though is...
My friend's old 22 inch Samsung monitor went dark while he was killing zombies. I assumed the problem might be bad caps but a teardown revealed no damaged capacitors.
I think the next likely culprit would be the inverter transformer. I found the right part on ebay shown below. If you have...
Please help me make a fan control decision with the NZXT Phantom 820. I'm running only four fans, the included front, top, rear and side. The MB is an Asus P9X79 WS which seems to have very good fan control. Would it be best to let the MB control fans or should I use the Phantom's fan...
I've been using Autopatcher for years with Windows XP machines. AP has been great and it includes many desirable registry tweaks.
As I write this, the Autopatcher site is flagged as an attack site by Google and Firefox. I blocked all scripts prior to going to the site. Reading the Autopatcher...
Use some other computer and install Easeus Todo on it. Put your drive that will not boot in the second computer and run the restore of your backup.
I've used Easeus Todo for over a year without problems.
BTW, It is probably best to stay sober and have a clean mind before proceeding. Good luck.
My choice for the best free DLNA media server is Serviio. I found others to be problematic. With Serviio you can use or disable transcoding. When Serviio is set up the user chooses which folders are monitored and the library automatically updates for additions and deletions. My 2011 Samsung TV...
For a colorful graphic representation of files and folders size install the free utility WinDirStat. Google WinDirStat and you will find all relevant info for this award winning free software.
Edit: I just looked at the app linked to above which appears extremely similar to WinDirStat. Either...
"Layla And Other Assorted Love Songs" by Derek & The Dominos is Clapton's high water mark. Many of the songs feature Duane Allman on slide guitar either as lead or dual lead with Clapton. You've just got to hear Duane's lead on the Dominos version of Jimi Hendrix's "Little Wing".
I do not think there is any legal way to do what you want. For example, if you have a friend who has an OEM Windows XP disk you could make a copy to use on computers with valid licenses but such a practice violates Microsoft's EULA. Sometimes it seems that one can't even breath without breaking...
When Silent PC Review tested an early example of the Enermax Modu82+ 625 watt unit Mike Chin discovered crossed wires leading to the SATA power connectors. I bought a 425 watt Modu82+ and checked for crossed wires before installation. This kind of defect should never happen.
Based on positive reviews of the Modu82+ line of Enermax power supplies I bought the 425 watt model. My unit runs quietly and I could not be more pleased.
Customers do need to be warned against swapping fans in these units however. The reviews initially written by Silent PC Review and...
