How much has ATOT activity increased today (8/31/14)?

And countless hours wasted talking on Ventrilo while playing that ridiculous drawing game. Almost a decade ago. (I had to do the forgot password process just to log in and write this post :))

Windows 7 Wireless Card Issue(s)

Moved it from my second PCI slot to my first and that somehow fixed it, for now at least. Thanks for the help.

Windows 7 Wireless Card Issue(s)

Thanks a lot! Through my hours of Googling only once did F8 come into a thread but I didn't understand the context. Annoying, but it'll work for now until I can afford a new card. Edit: Now I have a different problem. Code 12: This device cannot find enough free resources that it can use. If...

Windows 7 Wireless Card Issue(s)

Finally upgraded to Win7 the other day and I must say it has been a complete and total nightmare so far. I'm running Home Premium 64-bit and I've got a Linksys WMP54GS v1.1 wireless card. For the first day and a half the internet worked fine, then after a reboot suddenly the card would no longer...

Games like Chart Wars

Did anyone play the game Chart Wars in any of its incarnations? I remember it was a fairly fun game to play despite its many flaws and was wondering if there was anything out there similar to it these days. A Google search just brought up a failed attempt at creating a new one a little over a...

Windows Vista default programs

Mods: Not sure if this belongs in OS or Software, so feel free to move if necessary. This problem just started popping up within the past 2 months. For some reason my MP3s no longer open with iTunes. For a while they opened with this other program that I used for transcribing files, but I...

Random Powering Off

Out of the blue. System is approximately a year and a half old. I ran Memtest86 and it found nothing wrong. I might try downloading Mobo Monitor and see if I can get some accurate temp readings from that. Any other suggestions?

Random Powering Off

Bought a new PSU today, even jumped from 430w to 500w and went back to the Antec brand. I noticed on my old PSU that one of the molex connectors seemed like it had been shorted out since there was black around one of the pins. I thought all would be fine, wanted to test it out so I went in the...

Random Powering Off

I was fine for another couple weeks and now it's acting up again. I think it's time to do things the right way instead of the cheap way unfortunately. When you say a PSU checker, do you mean something that I wouldn't have to remove the connectors for? Cuz for $20 that'd be awesome.

It's funny this was posted today. I had to post in one of the help forums and thought about how long it'd been since I really participated in OT. Looked it up and since Jan 09, I made 108 posts. Crazy to think how much time I spent on the site and on here 5 years ago. I agree with TallBill...

Random Powering Off

I'd be surprised if it was overheating. I rarely find myself at CPU 100%; mostly when SETI is running at full throttle. Each time it has shut off little to no programs/operations have been running. SETI would only be running off of the GPU. This morning all I had running was Firefox and...

I've noticed within just the past couple days that my computer randomly powers off. I've never been in the room to see it happen (just now I was taking out the garbage and came back to find it off). It's done this 3 times in the past 20ish hours. I'm only inferring here, but I'm fairly sure that...

How in the WORLD could you throw things like this out?

Pretty cool find even if I've moved past listening to a lot of that stuff. Surprises me how many people say they prefer digital completely to CD. I guess I'm old-fashioned. Most of my library (>90%) is digital, but I still keep the CDs. There's something about physically having it. Same...

Moving out guiltiness

How is it not? Even if your parents ARE giving you money, YOU'RE the one choosing what to do with it and how you spend your time. I haven't had the luxury of my parents really paying for much at all so I've had to take out a lot of loans (with some grants/scholarships), and I live 450 miles...

Moving out guiltiness

I've NEVER understood this. Only started running into it when I moved from Northern California to Southern California. I can't believe you've spent your entire adult life to this point at home. I feel like 18-20 are years when you should learn a lot about being independent and there's no way you...

How many CSU students?

I'm just curious as to how many currently enrolled CSU (California) students there are on here. After everything that's gone down this summer (two tuition raises, capping max units at 16, all campus faculty/staff taking 10% cuts, furloughs, etc.) I'm wondering if people are pissed at other...

Psychology of "Waiting 2 minutes for a parking spot"

Do it at school all the time. We don't have enough parking and the odds are great that if you're the first to squat on a row you'll get a parking spot within 5 mins, whereas just driving around aimlessly hoping to catch someone backing out is a lot less likely to be successful.

Diablo 2 Issue

Thanks for the help guys. I know I've got a few +1s from items but I think the problem is stun and concentrate. I focused on leap attack, mace mastery, and iron skin since those are the only three I thought I'd need besides whirlwind.

SETI crunchers

Let's hear it for NOT drinking!

I am so bored tonight. Roommate is gone, didn't hit up any parties, neighbors fell asleep instead of coming over. I might play the college card and take one shot by myself to try this new Italian alcohol I got from Europe, but it just won't feel as awesome. What's everyone's excuse tonight?

I would kill for Kaiser to get off their asses and send my lawyer my records. It's taken 3 phone calls from me, 2 letter from my lawyer, and one phone call from the secretary just to get to the point where they'd tell us why they COULDN'T send them.
