That's awesome. I wonder how far we are from the space age...

Zantor

That's plenty. Who's the manufacturer?

Both were extracted from machines that either got an upgrade or had died and I pulled spare parts from them. HYNIX is made by Hyundai. Dells have HYNIX RAM in them.

Hey folks. I'm clearing out excess items that are in my possession in preparation for leaving town for college. I have several items for sale of all sorts. Take a look and PM or post if you are interested, but don't waste my time if you aren't serious. More items will be added as I find them. The li...

I took a look at the Droid on Verizon and Motorola's site, and it looks like it's going to be a sweet smart phone. If and when I do get a smart phone I would get the Droid.

Beautiful image. Here is mine (large image; click to view):

When you go into the organize bookmarks window, click on the section in the tree to the left titled \"Unsorted Bookmarks\". There you will find bookmarks that aren't in the menu or the toolbar.

I would rather have a phone with a connection to a GSM or CDMA network rather than have my phone tied to 802.11b/g/n with VoIP. There is much more range and reliability.

I agree.

I don't know anything about the Droid, but I know about Motorola's products. I have owned nothing but a Motorola since I got my first phone in 2007. They are excellent products, and in the last year they have significantly improved the quality of their manufacturing. I have the Krave and it is a ver...

Firefox has a feature called Caret Browsing; push F7 to activate it. It makes navigating pages with the keyboard easier. I have a Toshiba Satellite and I use the touchpad, even when browsing the web. I think you will just have to adjust to using a touchpad or a mouse thumbstick (the thing Thinkpads ...

Zantor

I think you can adjust to using a touchpad, but it's your call. I own a Logitech VX Nano and it's one of the best mice I've ever owned.

Isaac, I strongly suggest you buy it from Newegg. Often their prices beat that of retail brick and mortar stores, and they have an excellent reputation. I have been a consistent Newegg customer for 3 years.

Zantor

here is an excellent solution to your dilemma.

An Acer laptop, a 15.6\" screen, and Windows 7, on sale for $399.

Zantor

To get a laptop with a full size keyboard, you will have to get one with a 17\" screen, which probably isn't practical. I would suggest any well built laptop with a 14.1\" or 15.4\" screen made by anyone good, and NOT Dell, HP, or Compaq. Get an MSI, ASUS, Acer, Sony, Toshiba, or Leno...

What is it you are looking for, Isaac? Are you looking for something basic, sophisticed, or business grade? Do you want a netbook or something bigger?

Zantor

I watched the first two videos on Free Video on Demand. It looks to be very interesting, and I look forward to the next episode.

If you want to stick with the high end business-grade processors, take a look at a dual core Opteron for socket AM2 or AM2+. Opterons are of the best out there, and are used in render farms and high load servers nationwide and worldwide. Dreamworks's render farm uses Opterons, and Cray uses them in ...

I have Koss (the $30 ones) headphones and a Labtec microphone. It's not USB, it's not fancy, but it does the job fine. Yes, I'm cheap when it comes to chat gear because I don't use it often enough to justify $50 for headphones and $20 for a microphone. Try a Turtle Beach or other quality headset. Br...

Gateway Electronics is a local, small St. Louis business that specializes in DIY electronics and gadgets. They have a lot of raw parts like capacitors, resistors, transistors, voltage regulators, inverters, and so on, and they have kits, batteries, tools, cables, and more. They do sell online, as t...

I suggest the new Saitek Cyborg X or the older Saitek Cyborg Evo. I have the plain version of the Evo but it seems all that's for sale right now is the force feedback model . Given the reputation for the Evo to be a strong, sturdy, reliable stick with plenty of buttons an an 8-direction hat, the Cyb...

Is it a special mouse like a gaming mouse or a [generic] mouse that runs fine with a generic driver, like an ordinary Logitech?

The GIMP or Photoshop would be excellent for photo retouching and resizing. Windows seems to do a decent job but I'd rather get a program made to do it rather than use a feature of an OS.

Fall has arrived in the Midwest. Highs rarely go above 75 yet are consistently in the 60s, and it's rained off and on for the last two weeks.

Though it's very expensive because it's an enterprise-grade software program, I like (but don't use) NX , the CAD software my dad's employer makes. It is very high end and very powerful, yet I haven't worked with a recent version. My dad's employer has many big name customers, namely GM, Nissan, and...

I have used several LCD monitors in the last few years and the graininess isn't a problem unless you get a really cheap monitor. Dot pitch of 0.26mm or narrower would give you something nice and crisp at the monitor's native resolution. I still use CRTs and they suit me fine, and I do occasional pho...

I agree with Krom and fliptw regarding Internet speed constraints and input lag. Those are huge obstacles and still not able to be completely overcome. I would much rather get a PS3 or build a new PC to take advantage of new games, rather than trust a cloud server and a lightning fast Internet line....

Glad to have helped.

If you open up the system restore tab in the system properties, it will show it for all the drives it's monitoring. If your 'slave' drive is listed in there, then it will delete the data when you turn it off. You could also use system restore to delete all but the most recent restore point, or use a...

I'm not sure what gave you the impression that people do not want to help. Things can be a little slow around here, especially with the laggy site.

The closest thing I can think of is Google Analytics. I do not know of any other monitoring or tracking services that would meet your need.

Two words: Google Analytics.

System restore data is drive-specific. This means that you cannot transfer restore data between drives. I don't use system restore because it's a safe haven for malware.

The probability is low. Interplay is not doing so hot.

Growing up and in school? I'm glad I figured it out so I wasn't permanently caught up in it. Kudos to me being raised in a conservative family so I could see the bias, and teaching myself to look at both sides.

Greed and passion. I agree with Spaceboy's statements on passion.

Greed is an opposite of sorts. Greed is selfish, not selfless, and has led to some very infamous schemes and conspiracies--confirmed and unconfirmed--in human history.

Zantor

Oh, lovely. The libs take over yet more of our educational system, now teaching them which celebrities and famous people to admire, rather than letting the kids think for themselves.
