Found a neat site that can help you find new alternatives to an existing piece of software that doesn't quite meet your needs. For example, type in 'adobe reader' and receive a listing of pdf readers, including foxit. http://alternativeto.net/software/

I was thinking a site was posted within the last 2 months as a source for generic power adapters, but I cannot find it. I'm looking for some (~ 25-50) wall-wort style AC/DC power supplies, 12v 500mA. Right now I'm looking at close to $300 on some sites, if anyone has some suggestions it would...

I manage a domain at work that consists of a win2k AD server, win2k, WinXP, and now Windows Vista clients. There are about 50 PCs. Roaming profiles are enabled only for a couple people. All users have a Y: drive as their home directory mapped to a share on the domain controller. The default...

Some old geezer pointed me to his webpage full of nostalgia here @ http://www.redhill.net.au However, the site appears to be down. Can anyone else (not) access this site?

So it's not really new, I got it about 2 months ago and thought I'd share now that I got a chance to take some pictures of it. http://anime-jennie.com/hdd/ScionTC2/ Price was pretty reasonable, I spec'd out a Corolla with half the options and the Corolla was still more expensive. 16,000 Base...

I've been utterly fixated on this anime Naruto (http://narutofan.com/) since it was in its 1st season. However, being a half hour weekly series I'm looking for something additional to keep my interest. Initially it was Full Metal Alchemist, and then I wandered a round through a few others, but...

Well, Monday I found a very easy way to fry your new $500 industrial PC motherboard, 10k SCSI drive, and an IDE CD-ROM too. If your motherboard comes with a very cheap 4pin molex to 4pin Pentium4 power connector simply connect the molex connector upside down on 1 lead and right side up on the...

A good writeup about some of the more interesting features of XP. Despite the fact that the article is written like that of a high school student I think it covers many of the features that the general masses will be interested in. http://www.arstechnica.com/wankerdesk/04q1/sp2-beta-1.html...

Anybody have an opinion on Asrock mobos? They seem to be a division of Asus targetting the budget market. I was looking at their K7S8XE+ mobo based on the SiS 748. It offers comparable features to many of the nicer VIA/Nforce2 boards, but at a price of only $54. This is a reletively new...

Recently I've been playing some n64 games via an emulator. I've spent most of my time playing an old favorite, Zelda. I've found that things run well on both Nvidia and ATi cards (dispite the fact that you used to have to use a voodoo2 and use glide if you wanted decent emulation for n64) Here...

May I please have a socket A CPU? I guess I chipped the edge of my Duron trying to remove a stubborn HSF clip and now it seems to be really fickle about working correctly. I'm weary about buying any CPU off ebay as most of them are probably dead chips from overheating/overclocking and I'd...
