Entry #1: "How do I put more text after the footer?"

I haven't had any installs of .NET go wrong yet?

It could be on-board, but not integrated?

ugh. How expensive can it be to simply add 20 more PCIe lanes on a northbridge? This seems to be a problem all over the place.

You may need to go into the BIOS and change the integrated GPU setting. Make sure it is set to "onboard" even if a card is detected. Sometimes it will disable the onboard if a card is detected.

Under the "desktops & displays" menu in the Catalyst Control Center, click the down arrow next to the display in question at the bottom of the screen and choose "configure". The far-right tab is called "Pixel Format". Make sure is is in the correct mode for your display. This plus ClearType can...

You guys clearly don't appreciate the longer battery life. An Atom CPU is just fine for 90% of what I do. The rest should have an i7...

Lost, good to see you back. I hope whatever kept you away wasn't too bad.

Slightly more. Everyone has it, the numbers are fairly consistent, and do seem to be meaningful in the 1.0-4.0 range (appreciable difference).

In MS' special "performance" units. ;)

It is, and I'm wondering what it takes.

And how does this machine rate according to 7? 7.6 - Proc 7.8 - RAM 7.8 - Graphics 7.8 - Gaming 7.9 - HDD WTF?

That is great. The first useful thing from twitter.

Don't worry about the virtualization, it is future-proofing, and if you already have the CPU, you don't need to sweat it. Make sure the SATA ports are set to AHCI or RAID mode, then it should support hot-swapping. In IDE mode you can't.

I don't like them. The batteries run out quite often on the mice, though the keyboards are fine on that front. The main issue I have is lag. If you haven't typed anything in a minute or so, it goes to sleep, and the next key you press takes a LONG time to take effect. Bluetooth devices in...

Just reworked the office system with some bits I had sitting around. Installing the OS now.

It takes more work to put them elsewhere. That is why I only use one large drive on my workstations, but it comes at quite a cost.

Gigabyte ATI Radeon 4670

I actually prefer it this way, it allows both OSes to act completely independently. No change or consideration is required when taking one of them out.

What OS is your primary, and what is the secondary?

$24k when I stopped looking, about a day after posting here.

I stopped watching, it was too painful. I can't buy a car until we buy a house, and we're just getting pre-approved now.

Good at the moment, though there was some time in-between that I'm still cleaning up after.

My question was actually based on a true story. At one point (and only one point), I was dating a fairly religious girl. At the time I was a very good, upstanding, and law-abiding individual. She was obsessed with "saving" me, yet the only thing she wanted to do was get me to church.

For the record, the onboard video on my ASUS board was unable to drive the DVI and HDMI ports simultaneously, so it now has an ATI video card in it that can.

Mainly QuickBooks, but VPN to work and PowerPoint would also be appreciated.

uda, I'm not sure if you've noticed, but there is a remarkable signal/noise ratio in other people's posts here. Have you noticed that yours are a serious outlier? I'm not saying there aren't tidbits of useful information in there; you've brought bits of knowledge on SSDs and cameras to the...

At the moment I'm looking into a dual-boot XP/Ubuntu setup.

I actually think that that is too integrated. I'd bet that a virus could infect 7 though the VM.

Nothing. It just means that they move all their other activities to another computer. It's already what I've told them, I was just looking for easier choices.

So sandboxie and the like aren't up for it? I already told them I would be taking them to Linux as a worst-case.

I think the shackles are the "or else" part of any structured religion. It's the part you have to do for no other reason then belief in their claims. If I am a good person, always acting generously, etc, basically doing everything that the christian religions ask except believing in god or...

This is someone's home computer. They have teenagers that do the myspace / facebook thing. As unfortunate a situation as it is, a presence on those sites is more important than having a phone number for that age group, and denying them access really would be a "punishment". These places are also...

I have some users that insist on browsing unsafe sites. They know the problems, and are looking for a way to do what they want without getting hurt. My backup plan is running a VM with Firefox, but are there better tools out there? Are they effective? Sandboxie? What is the least-intrusive...

UT and Quake3. Specifically that space map from the demo where the railgun is out on the platform....ducks in a barrel.

Mercedes Benz SLS is making speed runs past my office all morning. Sweet.

Assassins Creed was actually really good. I should replay that at some point. I still have a 295GTX sitting on a shelf here...

Looks like a very useful tool indeed ;)

In case you like it, World at War was more fun than Modern Warfare, IMHO.

Sweet. Thanks Handruin!

I use them regularly, even on my higher-end builds. If the motherboard supports smart fan speed control, I wouldn't think twice. The copper-bottomed ones are better, so if you have one of those, use it.

The retail one is actually really good. Are you looking for better cooling or lower noise? Do you think the cooler also needs to cool other motherboard components?

I did enjoy that game, though certain sections were frustrating, with luck being the deciding factor. My favorite was the bonus scenario you get to play after you beat the game, played that many times.

A high failure rate was my experience with the original raptors, but the VRs seem to be OK.

Err....no. Not in my case anyway. Having to worry about what software in what configuration is on which machine does my head in. I regularly ghost the machine at home from the machine at the office just to maintain some consistency.

I've always found more real-estate on one screen better than two...

Dell 2209WA looks good.

I think I would take too big a hit repurchasing all my glass if I went Nikon...

RAW, uncorrected. 1600 looked better on the 7D, 3200 was not good but break-even. Everything above that was too bad to use, so I stopped looking.

An interesting idea, though I am nervous about buying used camera gear...anyone have any experience?
