Is there a way to pass video from another device through a pc?

Have been doing this for a long time with a receiver that does not have hdmi in or out. I use the Harmony remote to do all the switching for me, never leave the chair to switch from pc to tv to game systems, etc. Works great

Samsung DLP TV Issue (3 flashing LEDs)

I have same exact tv, did same thing when I was out of town. Was not sure if a bulb would fix, ordered one anyway, it fixed it!! Original bulb had over 16000 hours on it. I did not notice a dimming of the bulb over time either, but what a difference with the new bulb. Just checked, the new...

Balls of steel

I got to go for the 100 year anniversary, these guys are amazing!! We were sitting on a church stone wall with the bikes going by 6 feet away at approx 160-170 mph(was the race when McGuiness broke the 130 mph lap barrier). Even crazier, we went to the Southern 100, in Castletown, on Saturday...

:(

On the SOHC 750's, there are tiny oil jets under the cam towers that hold the camshafts. These keep the pressure high enough to run plain bearing cams. I can just about guarantee that the jet under that side of the tower is plugged. If you used silicone sealant on a case cover, instead of...

HP laptop durability?

I have had my Compaq V2000(same as Dv1000 hp) for 3 years. Gets used everyday for business, lives in my Targus backpack. I even carry in the saddlebag of my motorcycle on days when I ride for work. Never a hiccup, have only had to replace battery last month. I have almost worn the touchpad...

Any motorcycle riders?

01 Kawasaki Concours with a TRUNK!! Never thought I'd be the old guy with the hard bags, but once you ride with them, it's hard to go back.

Small Laptop/ultraportable for (motorcycle) travel...

I carry my compaq v2000 14.1" widescreen in a Targus backpack in the saddlebag of my Concours all the time. No issues as long as the laptop is in a proper case. I carried my old IBM240 10" screen all the time in an Axio backpack on the bike. No problems. This Compaq has flown off the seat of...

Refurb 9800 Pro 128mb 256bit From Crucial approx $85 shipped.

I pulled the trigger on this one. Been using a AIW9000 pro for a couple of years, the 9800 pro should be an awesome upgrade. From what I understand on the crucial refurbs, most are bad fan replacements(had to replace fan on my 9000 1 1/2 years ago). Thanks OP

HOT: Avoid Verizon Early Cancelation Fee, get out your contract free

Okay, called back to the family share plan customer service. Lady said I will have to wait until september to get this done. She said no problem, this will work. Also, they are eliminating free holidays. I am able to cancel because of this. We'll see.

HOT: Avoid Verizon Early Cancelation Fee, get out your contract free

Just tried it. Have a 3rd line on a family share plan that doesn't expire until 7/2006 that isn't being used. Wouldn't let me cancel this line because of new charge. Customer agreement allows them to change fees at any time. Let us know if you can get this done and how.

CompUSA in-store sale 02/06-02/12

The AT&T wireless products use an Atheros chipset. I found the following driver on the web that is a generic Atheros driver/utility that came with my wife's Toshiba I bought her for Christmas. Much better than the AT&T utility, and has many more features. Actually works better than WZC in...
