    Why U.S. Broadband Service Is So Awful

    I live in a town of 12k to 13k people, I have my internet access through the local utility company, they ran fiber to my house and I pay $30 a month for what they claim to be 1.5Mbps, however, I always test out at much more than that. It is by far the most reliable internet access I have ever...

    Problem just dawned on me, I had to copy off the network drive to the local hard disk drive and then "Run As Administrator" It's won't run directly off the network drive (never a issue in XP) So that is all it is, thanks for the help, it wasn't until after I read the last post when the...

    Find the problem with my batch file

    Well I finally got back to this, I keep getting an "Access is Denied" error on each step, yet I am logged in with administrative rights. I guess Microsoft didn't get all the vista fail ironed out of win 7. Windows 7 or vista do not seem to like batch files. This is supposed to take two...

    Will CRT lovers ever be satisfied with LCDs?

    I use both, I have LCDs at work and I like them, but I also like my CRTs at home. I use a pair of Viewsonics and I'm happy with them and I got them for $2 each at an auction. I use CRTs at home because it is what I can afford. I have a friend who constantly gives me sh*t for using them, he...

    Linux - Stop Holding Our Kids Back

    Oddly enough, a friend of mine told me of a school principal wrote M$ and said, "We got a bunch of computers donated and we don't have any licences." M$ responded with giving the school 200+ Win2k licenses (more then they would EVER need). Mind you, this was a special situation, well away...

    4 memory slots must install 2 at a time?

    Budget 2.1 setup

    Take a look at this instead of the T-AMP http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2407171&cp=2032057.2032180&parentPage=family for $20 more, you get more power, AM/FM Tuner, and a source selector and little bookshelf speakers nowadays seem to be a bit on the power hungry side...

    Help, I screwed X on KUbuntu 7.10

    Well I did what you and it told me to do, I get a gray screen with an X for a mouse cursor. The mouse moves the "X" but nothing else, no HDD activity or anything I'm going to leave it up for a bit to see what happens, if nothing happens before bedtime ( <30 min ) I'll turn it off.

    Help, I screwed X on KUbuntu 7.10

    I was trying to setup the TV when the error started, now I can't get into the GUI. Unless a "miracle solution" comes over the weekend, I'm waxing and reloading (which will allow me to take care of some other issues and to kill the windows partition)

    When the Server room A/C Goes down..

    Wow I haven't checked this in awhile, thankfully our part of the high school is always cold for some reason so the fans usually work pretty good. If we ever get into a pinch I do have some high velocity fans here at home I could grab, either that or grab a barrell fan from another building
