If I run disk scan and bad sectors are found where do they get logged?
Second question: if bad sectors get fixed/removed by disk scan but at a later time I delete all partitions on the hard disk and then create a new partition, will the new partition remember the bad sectors and not make...
The first 2 replies are conflicting.
Is super-lcd a technology where touch sensor is integrated onto display or is super-lcd the name of a manufacturing company/venture?
Can someone explain what is the technology behind super-lcd and how it differs from a regular lcd?
HTC phones are super-lcd but i can't find a definition of what 'super' means.
This guy has interesting ideas but I'm not technical enough to comment on how valid they are. Your thoughts?

i'm in the market for a netbook and read about 2nd gen atom coming in jan 2010. i'd be willing to delay purchasing if pineview has 1080p decode acceleration
the problem is some websites say pineview will, some say it won't...
Maybe someone in the field could give a good estimate based on various factors such as:
The contest lasted almost 3 years, although beforehand duration would be unknown. But also these were people with daytime jobs working on the competition.
2 teams collaborated in the end to achieve the...
Last month the Netflix Prize competition ended.
The competition was good for publicity and all, but how much would it have cost Netflix to achieve 10% improvement either internally or hiring a team in traditional sense?

How difficult is it for a rogue hotspot to switch a file a user wants to download? Is it trivial like hacking wep, or does it take some advanced knowledge
Being from a trusted source (like mozilla) doesn't make a difference?
when you use a public untrusted source for wifi, is privacy the only risk? are you only in danger of having all your internet activity looked at?
if someone sets up a router with malicious intent, what is the worst possible thing that can happen?
from reading around it seems the only...
how can you customize the text that shows in windows explorer?
not just the full path of directory you're viewing, but adding "Windows Explorer" to the end of the title bar.
i've searched and found reg edits to customize ie, wmp, and outlook, but nothing windows explorer
note: this is not for simultaneous/multi-monitor. i only use monitor at a time.
i use a laptop and plug it into a desktop monitor when at home. the annoyance is that i have to re-adjust the position/size of windows every time i switch monitors.
is there some software that will remember...
i've been randomly getting the disconnect chime follow immediately by connect chime. since i have many usb devices connected and it's happening randomly (maybe once a week), it'd be easiest to diagnose if i could look at a log.
is there a log in xp of all the usb connects and disconnects...
there seems to be a preference for hardware manufacturers to not use bluetooth. why?
i thought is was to avoid license fees, but then came across this link:
https://www.bluetooth.org/tick...article_comment&aid=47
has logitech/microsoft/etc ever stated why they tend to avoid bluetooth?
i think it would be very interesting move if intel put a reduced larrabbee core on Clarkdale/Arrandale for two reasons:
1) using simple gma variant would be wasted silicon for many sytems that use separate gpu. moreso for desktop than laptops
2) it would be a great way of 'sneaking' in a...
i got a usb hdd and when i boot the hdd power cycles twice before entering windows desktop. the system hangs while waiting for the power cycles to complete. the drive functions fine in windows and is connected directly to computer, no hub.
my previous usb hdd had a ide drive inside which...
i'm trying to decide what size lcd to get. i borrowed a 24" from someone to get a feel for it and i'm finding the screen is just too big for regular desktop usage.
for games and movies the big size is great but for regular usage (office, internet, etc) it feels like wasted space. i imagined...
Even if larrabee performs worse than nvidia at games, intel will win by default.
Intel will eventually add a few larrabee cores to their cpu's, thus they will win market share over cuda, thus they will win developer support for non-game applications, thus they will win mainstream for add-in...
Sony has historically created their own chips for their videogame systems (ps1, ps2, psp). Supposedly ps3 was to be the same way (using 2 cell processors to function as cpu and gpu) but when they were able to test out a 2 cell machine, performance wasn't up to par so they scrambled to get an off...
i have a few computers all networked to same router through wifi. the network uses wpa security with a long random password.

questions about 2g vs 3g talk time:
1) why bother with 3g talk? are there parts of usa that only have 3g?
2) does 3g have a stronger signal? (are there situations where you'd be able to make a 3g call but not 2g)
3) will you be able to set data for 3g but talk for 2g?

the sensor bar only emits ir from its ends, so the wii remote only sees 2 points.
the 2 points alone let you calculate distance of wii remote to sensor bar and roll, but how does the wii determine where you are aiming?

looking at the innards do you think apple had to eliminate ports, slots, speakers to keep its size?

just stay out of this thread
to clarify, i meant reducing power consumption of the same standard over time. so are companies able to make a more power efficient 802.11g wifi adapter today then they could years ago?
when you speak of base power consumption vs rest, roughly...
i'm in the market for a usb flash drive and after reading around it seems that some drives aren't reliable and stop working within weeks/months.

for apple tv to matter it needs to be a compelling alternative to netflix.
the current version of apple tv is not competitive to netflix for many reasons: hardware costs, rental costs, a/v quality, features, time restraints, portability
for both xp 'all programs' list and internet explorer bookmarks you can sort by name but it only applies to current folder and does not include subfolders.
is there a way to sort all folders by name? a special command? delete sorting history so it starts over alphabetically?
fewer versions of vista, new computer (most of vista sales) is likely to be 64bit anyway, vista capable pc is likely to be 64bit anyway, 32bit-basic still exists as choice for older machines, windows7 wouldn't need 32bit version
in trying to understand the memory hole and why memory is mapped from 4gb downward instead of just starting at zero (thread about 4gb in videocard forum if you care), it was explained that this is artifact of history dating back to ibm 16bit cpu's.
the point was made that moving the i/o hole...
you are assuming core2duo needs 10gb bandwidth in the first place. just because it has support for it, doesn't mean it needs all of it. does a mouse perform worse on usb1 instead of usb2?
