Windows XP: WTF is that typing noise?

Every once in a while, I'm just sitting here dicking around on the internet (IE6 on WinXP) and I hear this weird-ass typing/clicking sound come over the speakers. It seems like nothing I did could have triggered it. So I went through the whole sound assignment menu in control panel, and I...

Radeon 7500 and GF2 Ti500 for $129.0: Which would be best?

If you're an image quality freak or you want a dual monitor setup, I would go with the Radeon 7500. If you're more interested in overall speed, the GF2 is probably the better card, and I think the $65 GTS-V with some overclocking would be about 90% as fast as the ti. The 7500 is basically a...

OEM 1ghz athlon $67 @ newegg.com

Guys, take a look at pretty much any vendor on pricewatch and I think you'll see that newegg is probably the least guilty of shipping profits. They charge $7-10 for FedEx for a single item, and always have free shipping specials on many items. I have noticed that when ordering multiple items...

Hostages in Afghanistan

IMO, pushing your religion on someone is just about half as bad as using your religion to justify killing. Those people were stupid, if selfless in their own eyes, and will suffer the conseqeunces of their stupidity. Here's hoping they get out OK and learn some common sense, in that order...

.

My order status says that each bag is $39.99. How the f*ck can they get away with changing the price like that? My $9.00 order is now over $1,000! The worst part is, on my past orders its too late to call and cancel an order even minutes after its been placed, according to the CSRs.

LCD Flat Panel: preserving the backlight

Thanks for the response, that is kind of what I suspected. Its really too bad that flat panels don't handle games better. As it is, I think I'll be switching to a dual monitor setup so I can use my CRT monitor for games.

LCD Flat Panel: preserving the backlight

OK, I recently got a sweet deal on an Iiyama flat panel, which rocks for web browsing and stuff like that but pretty much sucks for most games (not enough contrast and noticable motion blur). Anyway, I was just hoping someone could enlighten me about how to preserve the backlight, since it...

17" Monitor NEC FE700 or Samsung 753DF

Guys, I think you missed the point. I wasn't slamming Samsung as a brand. I nearly bought a Samsung recently to replace my aging Mitsubishi. I was simply comparing the two models in question, the NEC FE700 and the Samsung 753DF. Since tsee was recommending the Samsung even though it was more...

Searching for days, eh? Well I took exactly 7 seconds to find a lower price on this same monitor on pricewatch. Two retailers have it for $121, many others have it for around $125.

Possible to route small ISP through a cable modem w/ limited IPs?

Yeah, the more I think about it, the more it seems like a dumb idea. I guess I'll leave it to the people who can do it properly. It just seems amazing that for $40/month I can get the bandwidth that a small ISP might pay $500-$1000 month for. Anyway...on to more fruitful projects! Thanks for...

Possible to route small ISP through a cable modem w/ limited IPs?

goldboyd, I thought the T1 was for the upstream connection? Anyway, as far as the modems, I have a chance to buy a USR Total Control Enterprise Hub w/ 48 digital 33.6 modems (upgradeable to 56K for $1000) for a decent price. I'm assuming these would be able to send and receive at 56k? Would...

Possible to route small ISP through a cable modem w/ limited IPs?

Shadow07, I had thought that a NAT router would work. AFAIK, there doesn't seem to be any reason why I couldn't get 8-10 phone lines/modems. All it takes is $. I'll get a quote from the phone company before I really do anything with this. I've heard its about $50/month for each business...

Possible to route small ISP through a cable modem w/ limited IPs?

I'm thinking about starting a VERY small ISP. My cable modem provides about the same amount of bandwidth as a T1, but my AT&T @Home service limits me to 3 or 4 IPs. Is it possible to route those IPs to provide access to 8-10 56k connections? Thanks, Chewbacca
