    Software Makers Threaten to Sue eBay Over Counterfeits

    I'm not a big Ebayer by any measure of the word, but I was wondering how difficult it was for Ebay to actually know if a piece of software being sold was counterfeit, without asking the seller. Correct me if I'm wrong, surely sellers aren't listing them as such, nor are they posting images of...

    Easy breezy: - Create the HourlyEmployee class with the assigned instance variables and methods. You're defining characteristics of an HourlyEmployee and actions thereof. - Import the class into your main class (the 'second' one [which should be created first anyway]). - Instantiate those...

    I've already had a 1530 for a month now; I'll upgrade to Penryn just prior to Nehalem's launch. My T7700 is so totally holding me up. ;)

    Dell 1705 GPU upgrade

    You could hit up Ebay for a used 7900GTX. It involves slightly modding the E1705 case, but should work well.

    Buying advise Dell for gaming

    The 7900 is a great card, but I'd avoid it in an E1705 if at all possible since it uses a single heat pipe (this lead to a lot of burnouts of GPUs) as opposed to the dual pipe of the M1710.

    Turbo Memory Address Space?

    The pagefile is stil used with that amount of RAM; would it not still be beneficial, regardless of the usage, to have lesser consumption of power for the same task? Not to mention the hibernate state. I was hoping you'd see my qualifier 'in some circumstances.' ;)

    Turbo Memory Address Space?

    Turbo Memory can also increase battery life by up to 30 minutes in some circumstances.

    Problem with Inspiron 1720 startup

    My girlfriend's computer went through a big spill once. After all dried out, the one thing not working was the keyboard. This is probably going to be your quickest route to a new one.

    Intel Turbo Memory Controller: This device cannot start. (Code 10)

    Check for a Gateway BIOS update; it may address this. EDIT: Just looked myself, haven't found it yet. Perhaps it's simply a faulty Turbo Memory card?

    Dell 1530 vs 1330?

    For gaming, 1530 > 1330 in graphic-intensive games. Although, I personally would stick with a 1440x900 resolution.
