    Grr. Hard Drive stuck in case!

    I'll try and get a pic posted later; but there's nothing obviously wrong (visually). The drive cage itself obscures the rails inside it, so you can't really tell if their bent or otherwise messed up. At least from the side that I have access to...

    Grr. Hard Drive stuck in case!

    Because I just imaged it onto a new, larger, faster drive. I could just leave it in, but I'm concerned about airflow around the new drive.

    Odd Request

    If it's just a one-time thing, rip a copy of the DVD onto both laptops and let them watch it. Advantage to that is that they can pause/FF/rew independently. I think using VLC or something similar over the network is going to be awkward (don't tangle up that network cable!) or you'll have to...

    Grr. Hard Drive stuck in case!

    I have a Dell Dimension (4300). There's a hard drive in it that I want to replace. Drive is mounted via the usual Dell rails in the bottom slot of the 3.5" cage. It won't budge. Normally, I'd squeeze the rail ends and slide the drive out. Tried that: no worky. Tried prying off the bay...

    And thus closes my home buying experience

    Ok I'll explain how it works. You get a 5 or 7yr ARM (adjustable rate) INTEREST ONLY mortgage combination, that 80-10-10 that people are talking about so you don't have to put any money down. You choose a stated income loan, meaning they go by what you TELL them in terms of your income, and...

    For those who have wired their home with voip..

    Well I haven't tried it, but phone lines are wired in parallel, so theoretically you should be able to 1) disconnect telco service line from house wiring, 2) plug VOIP adapter (phone line) into any wall jack. Watch out if you have older phone wiring, DSL, or a security system. Esp. the...

    so I might be a diabetic *update*

    You aren't going to get diagnosed in a public forum. The reality is that Type 2 diabetes is one of the most rapidly growing diseases in the US. It seems to be more common among some racial communities, such as latino, certain asians, certain SW american indian tribes. The current...

    Gmail vs. Hotmail

    Yahoo is good, particularly with the increased capacity (which is plenty for me); but they took away the ability to edit HTML in email directly, which sux. GMAIL is great if you are unconcerned about personal privacy (i.e. stupid). Hotmail/MSN is pretty good. Interface is ok compared to...

    Free Increased Upload for Verizon DSL

    Okay there are actually two upgrades happening here. One is upload 128 -> 384. Another is they have increased the maximum loop distance for the 1500Kbps download speed to 15,000 ft (768kbps down is now bumped out to 18,000ft). Anyway I've been stuck at 768/128 up until now so I called last...

    CPA- thanks for answering my other question. Now I've thought of a couple more. Sorry a few of them are a bit more complicated... ;-) 1. If I itemize, can I deduct for the following as taxes paid or misc. taxes? - State and Federal taxes on local and LD phone service - State and Federal...

    1000ft CAT5e, 100cat5 connectors, crimper and tester $35.96+S/H

    I bought the 1000' kit a while back. I did have a problem with the tester going bad but CG was kewl about it and sent me a new one. I suck at crimping and wrecked three cables, but it was the user not the equipment. My wife is more patient and now our house is wired. Cable works great with...

    Not Hot: AMEX to discontinue 'Private Payments' on Apr 15

    Newegg: AVB DVD-r and DVD+r's for a good deal.

    I can't find out anything under 'AVB' searching media at DVDRhelp.com. Also the product link takes you to AVB's company page but they don't list any DVD media under products. And the newegg product page doesn't say anything about a warranty or guarantee. It's a nice price but *shudder* not a...

    For those who think a low carb diet will raise your cholesterol

    Actually SWScorch, there is no scientific evidence to support your statement that high fat diets lead to high cholesterol, whereas there are many documented studies that show the opposite; e.g. high fat diets do NOT lead to high cholesterol. But to those of you who think locarbing is the...

    File this lawsuit under bullshit - Home owners please comment

    IANAL but IMO one way in which the buyer might be able to prevail if, on the seller's disclosure, the roof's problem was not disclosed ... esp. if the buyer can prove that either the seller knew about the problem (faulty roof). The company could also have a claim agains the original owner if...

    OMG! I'VE UPGRADED FROM 1.5MB TO 5MB FOR FREE!

    When Verizon did the .768 -> 1.5M thing I got all excited and signed up since DSL was finally available. At about 14K from CO they would only give me .768M. But I stuck with it. Cable was closer to 1M but there were lots of outages and poor service. DSL has been great. Rather have...

    Amex "Blue" Buyer Assurance

    Buyer's Assurance is the reason I keep my Amex. This program is the best. (The best, Jerry, the best!) I've been using the card for about 3 yrs and have had to use the program a couple times. Every time it's been a positive exp. You call the 800 and they start the claim. In most cases...

    [Q] performance of DVD burner in ext. USB2 case?

    I have a Lite-On 4X burner that I am considering putting in an external USB 2.0 case to make it more portable. The enclosure I'm looking at mention supporting speeds up to 480Mbps as well as DVDRW drives. Realistically, how well will this drive perform via USB 2.0? According to some FAQs...

    Dell: Small Business Server Deals

    This is hot if you can combine it with one of those 10% off coupons Dell sometimes mails out (or even the 5% discount available to Amex users -- but that's usually exclusive of other promos). I bought my 400SC over the Summer from a deal similar to this. I had a 10% off coupon that combined...

    What's your little OCD?

    Better Receiver: Yamaha or Onkyo

    Normally I'd recommend Onkyo, but Yamaha is a good brand too (excellent DSP technology for example). In this case the deal-breaker for the Onkyo is only one component video input (the Yamaha has two). Other than that they both are pretty good. I would definitely stay away from H+K. Denon is...

    Real Estate Q - Buyer Backs Out For No Reason *UPDATE*

How good is it going to be if you refuse to give the deposit back and they say, "Ok fine we'll buy the house"...

    Safe to run stock Geforce2MX no fan

    What kind of NVTweak settings would underclock this puppy to minimize trouble w/o the fan? This is going in a server machine that's hardly ever used interactively, so speed is not an issue.

    Safe to run stock Geforce2MX no fan

    I have this GF2MX (Inno3D) on which the fan has become really noisy. Cleaning doesn't help. Can I just run it w/o the fan? I notice the GF4MX I replaced it with doesn't have a fan, only a heatsink.

    16x DVD-ROM for $9 , Olympus 4MP camera $199 at OM

    Toyota passes Ford as No. 2; six-month sales tally signals a new order

    That's right, keep focusing on the unions while the Asian automakers drive the American's right out of business. Doesn't have much to do with it. The reason Toyota is gaining share so rapidly is quality. American autos are, for the most part, crap with a capital K. They are unreliable and...

    win2k server: setting up networked My Documents?

    question for people with 50-60" TV's

    Yeah we've had a 53" HDTV-ready TV for several years now. It was the next thing we bought after buying a house. Basically, the TV kicks as*. I already had a pretty nice Dolby 5.1 sound system and the TV compliments it nicely. Sizewise, I'd say that 53" is good enough for us although nowadays...

    The things Longhorn should fix (A list by AT members)

    One thing that irritates me are the dumb-a$s limitations in XP Home. Like not being able to join a domain. Dumb! And the only reason is so they can force corporate users to pay an extra $50-100 for the XP Pro license. I also dislike the fact that when you join a computer to a domain you have...

    Regardless of what Dell's "policy" is, how in the heck do they get away with this nonsense. How do I, the buyer, know for sure if a price is a mistake or not. Yes, this was an amazingly low price. If the price was advertised on fleabay or something I doubt I would have purchased one. But...
