Lava Hot - $150 Statement Credit for Sony Credit Card Signup

Thanks, signed up, got the card, bought some christmas gifts, but I can't register on the http://www.sonyrewards.com/sonycard site to view my account status. Some nonsense about the email address not matching, even after I copy/paste it into the second field. I called the phone number presented...

Military flip-style switches. $0.53 for the cover.

I don't know how these are constructed, but some AC switches don't work for DC circuits, especially under high currents.

2nd memory failure within a year

Quick update, After 2 days of good running on the spare RAM, the computer completely died, now there's no POST at all, only spinning fans. Clearing the CMOS didn't help, neither did removing all unnecessary components, and replacing the AGP card with a PCI one. I did notice something new...

2nd memory failure within a year

I built a system based around the ECS K7S5a budget board about 4 years ago. One of the DDR slots on the board didn't work new out of the box, but return shipping would have cost more than the board, so I kept it. It ran great with 1 stick of 512 MB PC2100 Kingston ValueRam for 3 years with both...

I want to launch an application when coming out of hibernation

Unfortunatly I'm dealing with an app that detects and exits when I initiate hibernation, thus the need to automatically launch it when the computer wakes up.

Top 10 best hunting guns ever made...(Field and Stream magazine)

Proud owner of an early 60s Winchester Model 12. I'd trust that gun to hell and back. Nothing beats a light pump when you're walking for phesants all day. Carried my step-fathers 1100 for about an hour, a nice gun indeed, but heavier than a SOB.

Firewire PCI card & cable - $8 (free shipping)

There is a power connector on the card. I assume that means the ports are powered? I don't have any devices that would use that functionality though, not to mention the connector from my power supply that fits the card is about 2 inches too short to reach.
