Network connection stopped connecting - Win 7

tried the google DNS. Says no internet connection. I restarted the router. Also moved to a different network and router, same problem. I know I could reimage the machine, trying not to because of a lot of custom application setup on there that would be a pain to redo. I can't help but...

Network connection stopped connecting - Win 7

[SOLVED] Uninstalling Avast premier fixed the network connection. I'm trying to help a friend fix his computer and I'm pretty stumped. The machine is a windows 7 box. It stopped connecting to the network. I'm not sure why. No specific event to mention. I'm pretty sure it's a software...

How would you deal with noisy landlord

You should send her a written/printed letter stating the intolerable conditions of the apartment. You may want to state in the letter of your previous verbal conversations too like "As we discussed before..." Then you need to move ASAP. This situation is not going to change until you do...

Final Fantasy XIV online!

Good point Morpheus. I don't know if they can get any major changes in 2 months, but I was thinking more of quest flow, combat targeting and timing, and travel ability (warps, travel). I personally like the game engine but I think tweaking it to flow faster would be a huge improvement. Other...

Final Fantasy XIV online!

This game is very early Beta, IMO it's really Alpha part 2. It has no business being called Beta. As such you can't make judgements on things like content or "grinds". There is nothing to do yet and they are just testing movement and combat systems, of course it's gonna be a grind. Also...

I run a Q6600 - R 4870 recently upgraded to Win 7 Ultimate from XP and FFXIV is stressing my machine. I'm not sure how hard my GPU is being hit but I'm sure its maxing out. The CPU is a constant 40-50% average across all 4 cores spiking to 70-80%. Specs: Q6600 at stock 2.4ghz (used to OC...

Dynex® - 42" Class / 1080p / 60Hz / LCD HDTV

I got this TV almost a year ago As I said in a Previous post, it's a great TV for the money. It has always been a low end cost model but the quality was comparable if not better in my experience to the other low to mid range TVs. I use this every day from normal HD cable, to Blueray, to HDMI...

House electrical questions

I think finding a a proper ground wire is highly unlikely and a cold water pipe is not going to nearby for most outlets. Maybe we can install GFCI's and I can buy a power conditioner for the computers and TV.

House electrical questions

I am going to rent in a space that has old electrical 2 prong plugs. I understand a proper conversion into 3 prong grounded plugs is big deal. How big of a deal is it? The house is a 3 floor house with a single breaker box. What about GFCI options? Would they work here? I have your...

Hot! 12M HD video camera 35.43 freeship

Just because it's joker you can't expect a GL2 for $35. It probably does as much good as a point and shoot or cell phone on video mode which for may people is worth $35. I'm not even sure why it's even in the shape of a video camera. The optics are probably tiny and I doubt it even...

Anti camera laser shield?

Frikkin lazers Anybody know the tech specs behind such a technology? This sounds like a bunch of BS. Hooded lenses, perfect angles to hit the CCD, etc... If lasers are scanning every area wouldn't they also be hitting people's eyes. So many legal ramifications... 1.2-2.4 billion...

1.7 cu ft dorm fridge plus 3 12pks Coke $49

This is not a true refrigerator but more of a cooler. I bought this unit when it was on sale a while ago and had to return it. I dont think the unit ever got below 50 degrees even after 30 hours.

Monster Cable 14ft Super High Performance 24K Gold Plated 1080P Audio/Video HDMI Cable HDMI400-4M

very nice. In for 1. While I get very good cable from monoprice for cheap. This size from monster for this price is too good to pass up. We all know that monster cable is overpriced but at a comparable price to other cables, it's generally the superior product.

Browser compatible/indexable fonts

Since when is script fonts = fail or asshole with shitty taste? Just because the web hasn't caught up to efficiently using fonts doesn't mean we should abandon hundreds of years of typography and page design. We don't want to have to resort to images, download, or sIFR.

Good points. It was going to be used as headlines and pull outs but we will get by on simple common fonts so it is more easily searchable. The Web is not very typography friendly and we don't want to have to use images. Thanks.

YMMV: Sam's Club - Vitamin Water 20 pack for $8.11

lol... feet? Neither of them remotely smell like feet. Something was very wrong with the ones you drank. It's possible they sat in the sun for a long tie and started to get rancid. Dragonfruit has a bright melon berry taste and power C has an acidic citrus taste.
