    Decent scanning software for Windows?

    We have an HP LaserJet Pro at home and the HP program on Windows 11 sucks compared to my much cheaper Brother dedicated document scanner I have in the office. Lack of QOL features like auto-deskew, blank page removal, OCR… I’ve tried the HP software and the built-in scanning programs in Windows...

    Gigabit ethernet wireless router with DD-WRT?

    Not to be TOO specific... :D But I currently have a Linksys E3200 I bought in a moment of weakness after an evening of being pissed off at bricking my old WRT610N. (soft bricked, but I'm beyond screwing with it) There's nothing *wrong* with it, but I am interested in something that either...

    Toshiba laptop power adapters: quick release adapter?

    So I have a Portege Z835. The power adapter plugs into the rear of the laptop and sticks straight out. It scares me. I'm afraid something is some day going to happen that causes it to get ripped out and take the little pin inside the laptop end with it. Or something. I know I can't have a...

The wife fell in love with it at Best Buy, since we were looking for one anyway (previous laptop died a few weeks ago), picked it up. -Only an i3.

    Incredible has been rooted

    ##IncredibleRoot on freenode is where this happened, a forum thread on xda (with pics), and instructions here. It's not too hard but it involves a lot of luck and patience. As the instructions say, this is for lucky power users. Emphasis on lucky. This was only achieved within the last 12...

    How can I rename a network location in Windows 7?

    In Windows 7, in the Network and Sharing Center, there's the three icons at the top showing your computer, the network location, and the internet. In Vista, it's possible to rename the network location via the "Manage network connections" option on the tasks menu on the left. In 7, that...

    Subdued but classy cases?

    G'morning all, I have a Lian Li PC-B25B. (stock photo) When I got it, I wasn't sold on the door, but over time it's grown on me. I like how it makes the case look so very clean. The ring has a nice soft glow, and I hooked it up to a rheobus so I can dim it if I want to. Lian Li updated the...

    FS: Blue 8GB Zune - $65

    Hey all, I have a blue 8GB Zune I'm looking to sell for $65 plus shipping (only a few dollars). The buttons feel kind of funny, there isn't very much feedback all the time when you push certain directions. They function fine. I have all of the accessories included except for the colored...

    FS: 2 Blue 8GB Zunes, $100 ea

    EDIT: Due to the silver-colored ring around the squircle on the Zune I use coming loose, I will drop the price on that Zune to $90. It's just a cosmetic thing, you can probably use a little dab of super glue or something to get it back in place. :) If you look at the last picture, you'll see it...

    Wireless media mouse?

    G'morning all, I picked up a Logitech MediaPlay last year and while it's REALLY nice, the range is like six feet. Which is not enough to reach from my bed to my computer. I have the Windows MCE remote, and while nice, I can't really watch Hulu with it. :p So does BlueTooth have long...

    High capacity drag-and-drop MP3 player?

    G'morning all, I'm looking for a drag-and-drop DAP with a minimum of 30GB storage. 40GB+ would be better. Currently I have an iRiver H360 with Rockbox and I love it to death, but I've gone through three of them and I'm tired of buying used. I would much rather prefer to buy something new...

    Why does my Westy have a bruise? (pics)

    G'morning all, For several months, maybe even pushing a year?, now, my Westinghouse 37" LVM-37W3 has shown something that I call a bruise on the right half of the monitor. It's most noticeable on shades of grey, such as on [H] or Steam, but it does show up less strongly on some other colors...

    Win 7: Why are my taskbar buttons over here?

    And when I try to drag them over to the left next to the Start Orb, they just slide back to the right there. WTF? I can't find any options or anything I did that changed it.

    G'morning all, I have a Logitech G13 Advanced Gameboard that I'd like to sell for $70 shipped. I got it for the hell of it because I've always been curious about these "gameboards", and while I love the quality of construction and REALLY love the customizable backlight color, it just doesn't...

    Start Steam offline without being online first?

    Sure, Steam has an offline mode. But you have to be online first. What happens if Steam is closed, and I lose my internet connection for whatever reason. Now I can't open Steam because it wasn't put in Offline mode first. Am I wrong? Is there any way around this without putting Steam...

    Will 3GHz C2Qs ever come down to $250 or $200?

    G'morning all, Will we ever see $250 or $200 for a ~3GHz Core 2 Quad? I see the Q9550 at 2.83GHz is at $315 right now on Newegg, but will we get better pricing closer to EOL, now that Core i7 is out, or no change, or... what? Reason is, I'd eventually like to upgrade my 3GHz C2D to a 3GHz...

    Logitech G15 v1 randomly dies for a few seconds

    G'morning all, My G15 will randomly turn off for 10-15 seconds and then turn back on. I thought it might be a problem with the USB ports on my mobo, because this didn't occur on my previous ASUS A8N-SLI Premium, but maybe the timing is just coincidence? I've never noticed this happening...

    HP Officejet Pro L7680 doesn't work as network printer

    G'morning all, This is on XP computers through a Linksys WRT610N router and some Netgear switch. We got an HP Officejet Pro L7680 AIO that I'd much prefer to hook up via ethernet rather than USB due to location. When we first got it, ~10 days ago, it worked fine. After I set it up I left...

    Anyone gotten this error message with FEAR?

    Can download gigabytes from the internet, can't copy worth a darn on the LAN

    So yeah. I can download gigabytes upon gigabytes with Firefox, IE, uTorrent, what the hell ever. But as soon as I try to copy files from my computer onto the LAN, it's impossible? I know why, it's because I'm on a wireless network a couple hundred feet from the router (with a repeater in...

    Excel file size increasing for no apparent reason? (from 15MB to 500MB+)

    G'morning all, We're all using Excel 2003 and Windows XP. I have a shared Excel file that's been about 15MB. It's accessed daily by three computers. We recycle it every week, so data basically only gets replaced, never added. Since Monday, the file size has increased to 700MB. I have no...

    G'morning all, I have a 37" Westy and it's got a few burn-in issues, to the point where I forgot and I left WiC running during supper last night and when I got back it had burnt some images into the screen. It seems like they're gone now... But I still have some vague burning issues that are...
