    Looking for a technically competent person in or near Yonkers NY

    Hello ATers, My cousin who lives in Yonkers had a Windwoes happening - her XP machine has gone out to lunch. Any good samaritan down near Yonkers willing to give her a hand as her regular tech apparently has "gone with the wind" (probably to a less "tax greedy" state). Terms negotiable. She...

    USPS Priority Mail - Signature Confirmation

    Usually the USPS sticky note says you can pick your package up at your PO after x time the following day, so you may have to wait to the day after that to pick it up in the morning. .bh.

    Amazon closes all associate accounts based in Colorado

    Just another "unexpected" (but only to legislators) consequence of tax legislation. As long as there is a choice, folks will choose NOT to pay taxes. .bh.

    USPS Priority Mail - Signature Confirmation

    Post Offices open pretty early in the morning. How about going early? Usually they will leave a yellow Post-It note with a space to sign on it. The USPS.com site may also have some options for you. .bh.

    World may not be warming, say scientists

    One of the three actual rights is the right to "happiness" (generally make choices as to the disposition of my own assets). The fed gov't doesn't have the authority to make choices as to what bulb or toilet or car I buy or choose not to buy. I can throw a dead incandescent into the trash - done...

    The UN has got to go.

    Democracy = two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for dinner... That's why American is a republic and not a pure democracy - the founders almost got it right, but they just weren't cynical enough to foresee the lousy, corrupt political class we've had lately. .bh.

    Could Social Security be declared null & void ?

    At the time SS was perpetrated, the numbers who survived past 65 weren't many. Plan sounded good but really wasn't designed to pay much out - just a slush fund for buying votes and making seniors think they were beholden to (dependent on) the Dem. party or gov't in general. Another stupid...

    Could Social Security be declared null & void ?

    No comprende, gov't theft? People paid taxes into the program for years and still are - that the congresscritters stole from the SS fund for other programs and substituted IOUs is irrelevant. SS is a "Due Bill"... .bh.

    Is there a reason to work beyond "just enough not to get fired?"

    Problem is, the break point of keep/let go, and the conditions that affect it, are always changing. So it is wise to try to stay substantially north of that point. .bh.

    Haiti: Obama's Katrina

    There is nothing in the Constitution about charity - not even for American citizens much less for foreigners.

    What would you guess Saras Palins IQ?

    One shouldn't be commenting if s/he can't (or "doesn't care to") spell well. I thought one had to have around 120 to be accepted at most colleges (at least that was the propaganda issued by my high school counselor in the early '60s) - Palin does have a degree (not that that means all that much...

    Do I need to purchase thermal paste when purchasing an aftermarket cpu cooler

    Most HSFs for the enthusiast market come with very good TIM either pre-applied or in a separate tube or packet. No need to buy any until the first time you need to reapply it. Here's a quote from a recent review at benchmarkreviews.com: "When applying thermal interface material to the Xigmatek...

    GE Reveal CFLs

    The eye is most sensitive in the yellow area of the spectrum, so the warmer phosphors also appear brighter for the same actual lumens. They claim that CFLs only degrade (lumens) about 20-30% over their lifetime (about one f-stop) which is barely noticeable. Most CFL ratings are initial...

    Can't figure out the pun. Help.

    Well then, after you've eaten half, you no longer have all your cake left to eat. It might make more sense if you think of the "cake" as a savings account. You can either have your savings or you can spend some of it. Basically just another way of saying: "You can't have it both ways." Have to...

    Analyzing Mid-tower cases around $100

    Side fans aren't usually of much help and may interfere the flow through many CPU coolers, thus increasing CPU temps. I generally use only front and rear fans (along with whatever comes on the CPU sink, etc.) followed by experimentation with other available mountings to see what actually helps...

    Upgrading a GlobalWin 802 (2001) to a NZXT Tempest - With copious pics!

    I question the utility of blow-hole fans (top mount). Several sites have data showing the lack of significant contribution to cooling. I'd suggest unplugging those and blocking off their openings as an experiment. May cut noise even farther. .bh.

    Deal Over - Newegg special Tt Tsunami - half price w/ free ship

    Zap, Yes, the 6A19 did come first, but the 3000 really popularized the design. Has been until recently still available as the Rosewill R6A series and the same under the Compucase name at the Egg. .bh.

    Deal Over - Newegg special Tt Tsunami - half price w/ free ship

    Aluminum has quite a coefficient of thermal expansion, so it takes special treatment to get any kind of adhesion, but it can be done - I'm pretty sure they manage it on Ferraris, Lambos, Shelby Cobras, etc. .bh.

    Deal Over - Newegg special Tt Tsunami - half price w/ free ship

    Looks like Tt did a sloppy job with the rear fan grill - looks much more restrictive than the original 3000 - I guess they couldn't afford to cut out as much metal as Antec did in their .8mm SECC to still have any strength. So, I'd cut the whole thing out and stiffen with a standard, wire fan...

    What multimeter

    I'd probably get either the Met1015 (temp in C) or the Met1033 (temp in F). I'd probably get the 1033 as the F is in smaller increments and that's what I'm used to. Easy enough to convert F to C. Check the specs that your course recommends - when I went to tech school (mid-'60s), they caused us...
