    Thank you for the writeup. I came in wondering how the computer uses power when sleeping, and left educated. Much appreciated.

    Patch Your PC

    I think I might have seen this in action already. A bunch of random nonsense i.e. asfdash.blogspot.in loading a hidden frame from another blogspot.de address. They can't "force" you, but they can lure you in with a facebook link that spreads virally.

    Thermal Adhesive For Older Computer?

    Hi all, I have an older AM2 based motherboard (ABIT AN9-32X) where the plastic mount "ears" for the heatsink have sheared off on one side. I'm just using a stock heatsink without too much weight to it, and I'm thinking I'll probably never replace the 4600+ currently mounted on the board. To...

    Corsair Giveaway - Force Series™ GT 180GB Solid-State Hard Drive

    I have a need for speed, and my 10k raptors are dying! Online backups saved the day, but I really need something a little less twitchy.

    Facebook Sucks For Marketing Your Company

    I'll admit to using the "like" button for local businesses, but forget it for national chains. They have enough exposure already. I suspect the research done here only looked at "big" players, hence the idea that it stinks. I'm pretty sure it rocks for small players that need exposure.

    Corsair Vengeance RAM Giveaway! 5 12GB Kits!

    Corsair kicks ass for the styling, which screams "HEY, YOU CAN OPEN BOTTLES WITH ME" - also, the electronics ain't half bad either.

    Sprint SERO - last chance.

    I think I'm going to wait and see what happens to the SERO plan after the cutover date. Maybe the added features will still add up to a pretty sweet deal. :)

    Apple WWDC '08 Discussion Thread

    The new iPhone looks really great, and I love the feature set. The $60.00 (+eleventy billion dollars in fees) per month minimum is kind of killer, though. Also, you have to sign up for a 2 year contract with AT&T despite the lack of rebate or anything indebting you to them. Sprint SERO +...

    Recommendations for DTV converter box?

    Great, thanks for the response. That gives me an idea of what to look for, especially since my older Sanyo does have s-video. Is there a site somewhere that tracks the release of these things? Where did you learn about the upcoming boxes? Thanks!

    [H]ot! Linksys Wireless-N Laptop Adapter WPC300N $15 (55 dollars off) @ CC

    My nearest CC is 40 miles away, meaning more than 12 bucks in gas for me. :( And the price went up as well...so I guess I'm stuck for now.

    Recommendations for DTV converter box?

    Hey all, (Mods, I think this is the right forum, if not, move me please.) I recently got reminded that I should be thinking about a DTV converter box for my older TVs/receivers. I was waiting up until this point to see what the manufacturers put out. What's the general opinion here...

    Does Vista really need this much pagefile?

    You can indeed turn off your pagefile completely, just you might run out of memory if you don't have enough physical memory to suit your needs. (Obvious.) The non-obvious thing about your pagefile (separate from your hibernation file) is that it should be at least as large as your physical...

    Best way to do remote IOS upgrades?

    I noticed you said 60+ locations. We use CiscoWorks where I am, and it (so far) has worked pretty well for managing a lot of network gear. It also takes care of inserting the right boot line, ordering, etc. (And clearing the old image, among other things it does.) Are you a Cisco shop? Is...

    Hot: OCZ 4GB PC2-8500 (DDR2-1066) Reapers $96.80 (MIR) Free Shipping

    I've gotten burned on the MIR once before, but I noticed a thread in [H]'s memory section where a company rep is overriding the stupid rebate house and making sure people get them. This convinced me to try them again.

    Vista x64 SP1 + Geforce 9600GT Failure

    Azhar, Thanks for the links. I'm thinking what I might try is just installing the whole service pack while in safe mode, since it only happens while installing the SP anyway. In theory, it would not bluescreen after the full installation would be done. (Or I could use driver cleaner at...

    Vista x64 SP1 + Geforce 9600GT Failure

    Hi all, I've been trying to install SP1 on my Vista Home Premium machine for the past 4 days now, and have been totally failing every time. I downloaded the latest WQHL drivers from nVidia released at the beginning of the month and installed those, but x74.74 doesn't seem to be doing much...

    Sprint Launches Revolutionary $99.99 "Simply Everything" Plan

    I looked at the fine print, and for both the SERO and "everything" plans, phone as modem is NOT included. However...SERO is hard to beat on the price for voice service.
