    Most evil software company

    Nicely explained Adcadet. Can Influenza lead to other illnesses, such as sinus infections. Everytime I get a cold, I end up with a sinus infection. It's been that way since I was a boy.

    Thermaltake Volcano9

    Coug, The motherboard monitoring software reports the fan speed. The fan has a one-wire connector for the CPU fan header so that the BIOS can read its speed. The speed fluctuated between 1,654-rpm and 1,671-rpm. The case temperature did not exceed 27-degrees Celsius (panels attached) and...

    For Chocolate Lovers

    Chocolate is derived from cocoa beans. Bean = vegetable. Sugar is derived from either sugar cane or sugar BEETS. Both of them are plants, in the vegetable category. Thus, chocolate is a vegetable. To go one step further, chocolate candy bars also contain milk, which is dairy. So, candy...

    Hardware innovations you'd like to see become mainstream

    I suppose insanity comes with experience Tim, I've worked on quite a few Dells recently and have learned a few tricks about replacing products. The fact that you Packard Bell systems easier to disassemble highlights my idea that insanity comes with experience. :D

    Space Shuttle Columbia Lost During Reentry

    Not to minimize the tragic deaths, but I am very interested in the technical aspects of this event - the why, how, and what stuff that went wrong. Although I understand that this will be slow in coming. One moment . . . I need to flip my record. Some of the information presented by NASA up to...

    Hardware innovations you'd like to see become mainstream

    Dell has insulated things quite nicely with a two-layer case. The first layer being metal (beer can thickness) and then molding the outside in plastic. But they also keep things quiet on the cooling end. The CPU uses a heatsink only, and then an airduct creates a tunnel to an opening at the...

    Thermaltake Volcano9

    Has anyone used this product before? I just received a few of these and hooked up one to a Athlon XP2100+. The CPU utilization is at 100% folding@home. I can't get the CPU to go above 55-degrees Celsius with the fan spinng at 1,671-rpm. The fan it supposed to automatically increase as the...

    Space Shuttle Columbia Lost During Reentry

    From what the Nasa Director stated (I think that was him during the press conference), the shuttle was at 200,000 feet above sea-level and traveling at Mach 18 doing scrub turns (helps the shuttle lose momentum and slows its speed) when the problems began.

    AOL - $98.7 Billion Loss

    True to a degree, Office is a beast, and intermingles itself with the OS like Coral Tree roots around your irrigation system. But, for the most part, Office and Windows are what we install and use everyday, and plan on keeping for quite some time. I have customers that regularly cycle through...

    BB SPOT OS Quiz - Which OS are you?

    A bit after RT, I was hooked on Sim City 2000 and then Sim Tower. I remember when I moved SimTower from a 486 DX/2 to a Cyrix PR200 - wow did those days and nights go by quickly. You could find out in a hurry if you had built things correctly.

    Honold made a good point about seeing a single-plug standard for common motherboard headers (led, speaker, etc) as well as usb/usb2. Many of the innovations we desire are basically BIOS upgrades which are being addressed through the BIOS Disk Drive Services, ATA Host Adapter Standards, and of...

    It is becoming more prevelant and is a pain. Standard ATX back planes don't allow for the stacked configuration. So when you're building systems, you need to remove the standard knockout that came with the case and use the one that came with the motherboard. How about making system assembly a...
