So my Mac Mini is running 10.5 and at some point I was running a 16:10 resolution (my monitors are 16:10 and support up to 1650X1080). I believe I originally ran it with 1280X800 but after I hooked my Mac Mini to my television via DVI to HDMI I've never been able to get my 16:10 resolutions...

So I finally updated my portfolio website. Now I know there are some silly spelling mistakes and some re-wording that needs to happen (most were minor and I didn't have a chance to update them so I just wanted to get it out there) but I'd like to get some feedback on it. One of the items that...

I'm in the market for a good all-in-one solution that will allow me to do the following: Keep track of my personal finances (checking, savings, credit card(s), loan(s), maybe even stocks / 401k)Keep track of my business finances (checking, savings, business credit cards, maybe even...

I'm looking for a Source Control System and I'm having a hard time finding one that will fit my needs. Since most of my own development (which is what I need Source Control for) is amateur / hobbyist (i.e. not largely commercial), I can't afford to go a Visual Source Safe or TFS route. I...

So I've had an ATI TV tuner for quite some time (I don't remember the model number and am not sure how to look it up without trying to rip my card out) and it's worked great. So I've decided to get a second card so I can record two shows at once. I picked up a Hauppauge! WinTV-HVR-1250 and...

I currently own a Netgear FWG114P but I'm worrying it may be going bad. First we had Comcast for quite some time but near the end it started becoming slow and some of our wireless devices wouldn't always connect right away to the router. Now we're on Verizon DSL and occasionally I'll get periods...

So my WD1500ADFD (150GB 10,000 RPM raptor) went up. Long story short, I had to send it in for an RMA. I chose the advanced option which advertised a 3-5 day turn-around. After about 5 business days I sent them an e-mail as its status remained at "processing". About a day later they updated my...

Basically my old Power Supply went up and took my previous motherboard with it. I have now replaced the power supply but need a new motherboard. I was also thinking of upgrading the CPU while I was here. Before my system blew up configuration: CPU: AMD Athlon 64 X2 4600+ Windsor 2.4GHz...

So my desktop has died. I already replaced the power supply (which stopped working) and there is still another problem. So I need a very fast and cheap way to hook some of my SATA hard drives from my desktop into my laptop. They could have been taken out with the previous power supply dying...

So I left my computer on last night as I do every night. This morning I turned the monitor on and wiggled the mouse to turn the screen on. Nothing happened. I continued for a couple of minutes with the keyboard as well but the screens, while on, were not receiving a signal from my computer...

I'm having some major issues with my Asus F3SV notebook utilizing Bluetooth / Wifi. Under Windows Vista and when booting from an Ubuntu live CD, both recognize my wireless adapter (which is a Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 4965 AG) but neither can utilize it. Under Vista when I attempt to...

Hi, I've built several PCs but I haven't built any servers so I was hopping for some advice. I want to build a fairly inexpensive server that contains 2-3 drives in a RAID setup for data redundancy (I'm thinking maybe RAID 1 or RAID 5). It has to run cool (I don't need anything powerful, just...

I hope this is the right forum to put this in. Anyway, I currently have one ATi TV Tuner card in my machine and I use Windows Media Center to watch and record TV. If I purchase a second or possibly even a third TV Tuner card, can I use this in the same way but possibly record 2-3 shows at...

The audio during the first cut scene and on the main menu works perfectly... but after that I get absolutely ZERO sound. Also, with the settings on max at 1680 X 1050 everything is a bit slow as if I'm getting about 10-25 FPS. Is that normal for my rig? Any ideas? Windows Vista Ultimate...

I've never even heard of this game 'The Darkness' for the XBox 360 until a post on Major Nelson's blog mentioned that there was some initial problem with the demo. I downloaded and figured I would check it out and boy am I glad I did. I immediately went out and purchased the same. It reminds me...

I remember reading that they admitted all XBox 360s have a design flaw making them fail at some point. I know Microsoft has extended the hardware warranty to 3 years but I would imagine they are working on actually solving the issue, correct? I've read about the flaw and the warranty but...

While I have a Mac Mini, I'm not primarily an OS X user as my favorite applications and games are in Windows so maybe I'm just not getting this but Leopard is getting some pretty small updates. I don't see how these updates justify the $130 price tag. Am I missing something?

I'm running a 7600GT and I recently saw some folks who were running Windows XP talking about how nVidia's PureVideo upconverts and makes their DVDs look so much nicer on the computer. I attempted to look into it and found that with the 7600GT and Vista, PureVideo HD Support is included in the...

I currently have an XBox 360 Premium edition as well as a Panasonic TC-32LE60 32" LCD HDTV. My TV supports up to 1080i which I can get to via Component cables. The problem is, while my DVDs look great, I hear that due to CSS DVDs cannot be upconverted via component cables and it has to be...

http://www.digg.com/pc_games/Nudity_the_Cause_for_Halo_2_Vista_Delay_2 What the hell....? LOL The first link has a link so you can see the picture (not sure if I could post the URL here). Here is the offical story: http://www.next-gen.biz/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=5757&Itemid=2

Unfortunately you cannot post for at least 24 hours after creating an account on Bungie's forums (lame) so maybe someone here will have an idea as to what I can do. Basically, I can create a character and login via Windows Live with no issue in Halo 2. However, once I am almost finished the...

I currently have an Abit KN9S motherboard and everything works great except that the onboard audio kills many of my games (Oblivion included and I've tested it with the sound disable, which works great... but no sound). Is there a way to make onboard audio play nice with games or do I have no...

I've owned two Linksys routers, one D-Link router and a business grade Netgear router. So far, the first Linksys was rock solid (didn't need a reset for an entire year) but that was only wired. Both the wireless Linksys (WRT54G) and the D-Link both crapped out on my regularlly (especially with...

I am running Vista Ultimate 64-bit and I have IIS7 setup for about 6 sites so far and I can access each one by setting in the hosts file: 127.0.0.1 SiteName This works great on my computer but when I'm in a virtual environment or if my girlfriend needs to access one of my sites...

I bought S.T.A.L.K.E.R. hoping for a really fun and innovative game especially considering the hype behind the game. So far, the game is very dull and it's basically a FPS with... well, nothing but generic FPS features. It's just asking for a mission, going on that mission with the usual guns...

I know how to test memory or possible hardware issues and even seen software applications that can test motherboards but what about hard dirves? The reason I ask is because I have a RAID 1 array consisting of two, WD 250GB drives. It was working fine under Windows XP but when I moved to Vista...

I remember Microsoft demoing Aero a long time ago (before the first public betas were around when they were first creating builds with it enabled) and they had the windows become translucient when you start to drag them and the window kind of "swayed" (for the lack of a better term) when you...

Why is everyone saying Vista 64-bit won't install unsigned drivers? I installed the latest beta driver from nvidia and Vista warned that it was unsigned but gave me an option to install anyway. Am I missing something/misinterpretting this or was this only the case in the Beta/RC verisons of...

I've done some minimal C++ programming (the basics and a little OpenGL) so I don't know too much about 32-bit vs 64-bit development wise. If I develop an application under Vista Ultimate 64-bit, can I compile for both 32-bit and 64-bit? I currently have Visual Studio installed as gcc and g++...

With large websites that allow uploading of images, do they store these images directly into the database or is this not possible? Is it more efficient to upload them to a folder and put the URL in the database or just putting them into the database (if this is at all possible)? My concern...

I have built in RAID on my motherboard (ABIT KN9S AM2 Socket) and have had two 250GB WD Sata drives connected to it for the past several months with no issue. Yesterday I formatted my main drive (my RAID is just a storage drive) which is a 10,000RPM WD Raptor 150GB drive and installed Vista...

I'm thinking about getting Vista 64-bit and I know my graphics card has an appropriate driver but I have no idea if my motherboard board does (ABIT KN9S Socket AM2 NVIDIA nForce 550 MCP). I have been trying abit's website for the past day (on multiple computers and internet connections) and...

I decided to try and play one of my old favorite games, Unreal Tournament and it's extremely slow on my machine. I can run Unreal Tournament 2004 at 1680 X 1050 with max settings on everything and my FPS NEVER drop below 40 yet it's extremely sluggish with Unreal Tournament and I don't know...

I will be upgrading to Vista once it comes out but I am curious as to whether I should go 64Bit or not since I have the hardware. Are there going to be more drivers available for Vista 64Bit than XP 64Bit? I'd need drivers for my nforce board and my 7600GT as well as drivers for my onboard...

I already have Vista RTM on my work computer, however; I cannot get a copy for my home computer and I really want to get Vista Ultimate onto it. When will Vista be available this month? Is Microsoft offering any ways to get it free/discounted? I also want to get office 2007 Professional...

For some reason I cannot use the back button on this mouse when using it with my Mac. There are no drivers for this mouse and I can't figure out why it doesn't work. Any suggestions? I have a Mac Mini running OS X 10.4.8, btw

I am going to be writing an application soon and I want to decide on the appropriate framework to use for the application and was hoping for some advice. Naturally I'll probably have to learn whatever framework/library and probably more of whatever language I choose. I know some C++ and a...

I have a KVM and everytime I switch between my PC and my Mac Mini, the Keryboard Setup Assistant pops up in OS X. How can I prevent this? The only thing I've found online about this is this article. The problem with this fix is that it involves renaming the Keyboard Setup Assistant which, in...

I just purchased a Mac Mini (1.66 GHz Intel Core Duo, 512MB DDR2, 60GB HD, Combo Drive) and I had a few questions as it's been a while since I've done support for Macs and am a little bit out dated on some things. First off, I have taken care of partitioning my hard drive and OS X is...
