I'm looking at buying one of the current-gen Intel Core2Duo iMacs pretty soon. I'm thinking of getting a very low-end CPU in it and just manually upgrading it myself.
Has anyone replaced the CPU in their current-gen iMac? How easy was it to get to the CPU socket? I've build PCs for 8 years...
I found this little freeware app that is really straight-forward. It's called FileCheckMD5. It creates an MD5 sum for each file from a selected folder/drive. It's a stand-alone EXE and at 289K is small enough to fit on a USB drive or burn to a CD with the MD5 to use for later verification...
I actually found that my Nero Burning ROM 6 package had Nero BackItUp which appears to work to at least copy the files I tell it to and verify them after copying.
I couldn't find an application that would correctly calculate checksums for an SFV file to verify the integrity of all the files...
I recently bought an external hard drive dedicated to making manual backups of my data. As part of my monthly backup routine, I want to run a verification that checks that all files on the backup drive are the same as they were when I originally copied them to the drive the previous month. I...
I think I'll try and ask really technical questions to baffle the sales person, and then try and talk them down as low as I can, then to just say no, I changed my mind. Although my wife can hardly keep a straight face while I try and heckle normal sales-people, so hopefully she doesn't ruin the...
I hope you have more skills. If you go for a film major, do production, and find something you like to do in it. Get to know as many people as you can, and bust your ass to work for people while in school so they know you can do what it takes to do good work.
In film school, there are...
I can fully second this rant. I have a client that loves to call me multiple times per day, and calls right after she sends an e-mail to me about some issue she's having. Her project is over-hours because she's "a visual person" and can't make a decision until she sees it. And she is...
My wife received a random call from somebody saying that we had won a digital camera and a 8-day Caribbean vacation. All we had to do was go to this local hotel tonight to pick it up and, in so many words, watch some sales pitch.
If you've ever gone to one of these, you'll know that it's...
What freeware application reads C source code? I have the compiled .com file and what I believe to be the source code. I guess this kind of stuff can't be displayed in Dreamweaver. I also do not have access to Visual Studio.
The script talks to a database (I think) to display search...
Are you needing to manage a database list of ID numbers on the admin-side, and then a little script that randomly plucks one from the database on page-load and drops it into your code? That's not exactly something you could just write out here in a thread...
I can code something like this...
They did, but we spent a good few hours deep cleaning the layer of grease all over everything else in their kitchen. Maybe our expectations were too high for the condition we thought the place would be left in. But I do agree it could have been a lot worse.
Thanks for the quick responses everybody, will see what can be done about this. Here's to hoping the seller may offer to fix it, or help pay for it up to the point that the contract said he would pay for damages found as a result of the inspection... although he's legally not obligated to anything.
We recently moved into the house we bought from the seller who did FSBO and we did not have an agent. The previous occupants had put down some type of cabinet liner that was in really nasty condition by the time they moved out, so we pulled it up. Not only did it leave a HORRIBLY sticky...
Try it for yourself. Type into the search box: 802.11g
My guess is it has to do with the board parsing the the string as a number, then being thrown off because of the g after the decimal.
EDIT:
I see #1 on the issues thread is Search is flaky, but thought this might help with one of...
I designed a business card in Photoshop that I want to get printed. But when I submit it to the company, they're saying its coming out looking gray when really it should be brown-ish tints. Obviously they're printing in CMYK color space.
So I figured, ok, can't I just set Image > Mode >...
I've had a design for a business card drawn up and would like to have an online service print them (since they seem to be the cheapest.) The foreground is light colored text and the background is a dark brown. I would like the dark brown to just be the color of the cardstock, and have the...
He had his home appraised and put it on the market for what it was appraised at...
We're also first time buyers and aren't really fully sure on how things are supposed to proceed. Should we maybe hire a buyer's agent to represent us and attempt to get a CMA in the area?
The market actually isn't all that great here right now, but we really need more space (moving from an apartment.) It went on the market Thursday, actually, which makes me think he will be even more reluctent to come down... not to mention he has his first open house this weekend and will...
I'm scheduled to set down with the owner of an FSBO house tomorrow. I've met him once when viewing the home before, and he seemed like a nice enough guy. When I told some people the owner was originally from India, they said I probably wouldn't be able to talk him down in price much... is...
Not even that. Hell, if this were PHP I'd be doing if(in_array($testval, $safevals)), or a foreach() or something of the 20 different ways you could do it, but lack of how to do those iin Java results in:
So I'm trying to do some work on another site that uses JSP... and while I could do all of this 100x faster in PHP, they insist it stays JSP because "that's what our guys know" so whatever. Could somebody tell me why this causes my script to error?
It's supposed to bring in the GET variable...

I think this one is pretty wide open given the look on his face and the smiling, insisting face of the soldier infront of him.
"... You call them there potatoes?"
I'm wanting to play my Wii on my 20.1" widescreen LCD computer monitor that hooks to my video card through DVI. Does anybody know how I would do this?
Not only that but I want to record the footage of me playing at the same time. Any ideas on what hardware I need to do this?
EDIT: I...
Selling things on the interwebs has become a joke. It's too easy for people to lie about receiving a package or for things to end up missing. Sorry you got ripped.
Damn, earliest flight out to Phoenix is Wednesday the 27th, which was the day we were supposed to come back--BAH. Guess it's time to break the news to my wife that we won't be visiting her family for Christmas :(
Flight from KC to Denver is cancelled. Going to see if they'll route me through Oklahoma City or Dallas to get to Phoenix. "Your call will be answered in, 3, minutes..." So we'll see.
Damn finally got into the queue for Frontier saying hold time is 51 minutes awesome :|. Just now seeing that my flight tomorrow morning is indeed cancelled.
I'm flying from Kansas City to Denver tomorrow at 6:30am, but it will probably be cancelled. We were going to catch a flight from Denver to Phoenix as our connecting flight, but I doubt we ever get there. Since my flight from KC to Denver will be cancelled, what are my options for getting to...
FLAC > foobar 0.8.3 Kernel Steaming > kX Audio Driver > ASIO 48k > Sound Blaster Audigy Platinum Front-Panel > HD570
The drivers really open the high-end of the dark HD570s. Nice punchy, full bass from these headphones. Doesn't rattle your head with really low-end extension but is sweet for...
