    Can you post some pictures of the laptop? It might get the girlfriend to shut up for a while if I like it.

    Issue with Opera Browser

    Hey guys, I'm just newly trying the Opera browser as I want a little diversity from even Firefox. Although I'm curious to anyone that commonly uses this program, how can you alter video files being opened through different programs? I looked up under "Preferences" and "Video", even changing...

    Firefox Memory Optimizer

    What browser has a better coding scheme then, Ghost? Maxthon? Opera? I'm morbidly curious if a better alternative exists because I could assume most of us share in the thought that a more efficient system is a better system.

    Possible to transfer OS and files to another HD?

    Question is though, does Acronis clone partitions through the operating system or outside of it? I have a RAID volume which is fairly fluttery right now and I'd like to back up a few files.

    RAID Completely Fried?

    I've had 2 Maxtor 6YM0120 hard drives in RAID-0 over the last 4 years without so much as a hitch, but just a few days again, my world came crashing down upon me. Even further, I have this RAID volume partitioned a few different ways, to entice some organization. I came home to an error...

    Networking a Printer Across 2 Different OS'es

    Thanks for your input guys, I'll try them. The printer is definitely hooked up to the router though.

    Networking a Printer Across 2 Different OS'es

    Hey guys, a friend of mine is trying to create the possibility of a desktop PC and a laptop PC being able to share a printer that is connected to a router and the desktop PC. The desktop PC is currently running Windows Vista and I'm suspicious that it remains the culprit. The laptop is...

    The definitive (ish) video watching/editing/encoding thread.

    Nazo, I can't thank you enough for your valuable insight. Yes, I too despise a proprietary player being required for certain codecs. Personally, I have grown far too attached to VLC in the last 3 years to want to use anything else. I'll certainly give your suggestions a trial, although I'd...

    The definitive (ish) video watching/editing/encoding thread.

    Given that I simply don't keep up with codecs and the like, I'm trying to view two odd file formats known as .nsv and .mkv. Any thoughts on how I can get these to play? Usually, VLC has all the support that I need, but I'm afraid this isn't the case and most of the early posts in this thread...

    Remote Printing Question

    Currently, my roommate and I share a single broadband connection via a Linksys BEFW1154 router. He just hooked up his father's old HP OfficeJet G85xi all-in-one machine. The issue is, I can't even see the printer over the network, despite him currently sharing it. My guess is only because...

    Benefits of Dual Monitors

    I'm not even in the business currently of needing more than a single monitor, but after picking up a Dell 2407 WFP just a few months ago to complement my former primary Samsung 710T, I don't think that I can return to a single monitor. Regrettably, our day and age focuses so much on convenience...

    Am I The Only One Concerned?

    I just received my March edition of Game Informer (stupid impulse subscription purchase when I picked up my 360), and within a preview for Guitar Hero II, which arrives on Xbox 360 next month, apparently, the included guitar controller will NOT be wireless as otherwise thought, due to Microsoft...

    360 HD VGA Cable

    I must disagree with this because I've tested this with many DVD's that I own and between viewing movies on the Xbox 360 as opposed to my PC on the same monitor (Dell 2407WFP), the quality is immeasurably better on the PC. To the original poster: Purchase the cable. It's definitely worth...

    Nintendo not allowing online play for wii...

    I'm not one to just jump in on topics and completely include something off topic, but the additions of the NBC Dateline specials and other online predator investigations has forced my hand. Everyone needs to watch "Bro Rape" on YouTube. It's hilarious. On topic though, given that the Wii...

    12 Month xbox live subscription questions

    Lord knows that I would want the terminator on my team. Personally, I just bought the Live Gold Vision pack off Ebay for around $62 with shipping. I'm rather happy about that. I wish I would have had the extra month that I've seen offered, but heck, I think the entirety of the package...
