My grandparents have a wireless network in their house. They use a WRT54GS on the ground floor to transmit signal. However, when they are in the basement, the signal is very poor. They went out and bought another WRT54GS router and figured they could use it to boost the signal. Of course...
I learned Java first, which wasn't too bad. Syntactically, it's not too tough. It's also a good introduction to objective programming (in my opinion). Plus, there's a LOT of free development tools (NetBeans, Eclipse, notepad) and a huge developer base for free tutorials.
I recently started...
Looking into the emerging tablet market, and I want to go Android. Does anyone have an Android-based tablet out there? I'm looking for a slim device that will enable me to be productive on the go and catch movies/games as well.
Looking to get into the bookshelf arena....
I want something under $100 that will pair well with my computer. I listen to music and play the occasional game, but am more interested in something that will sound rich at a reasonable volume (no blasting rap here). As this is an entry level...
I recently purchased an HP DV5Tse, and would like to carry it to class with me. I'm going to put it in my backpack, but im hesitant to put it in there without some sort of hard shell for it. Does anyone know of a good hard and slim laptop sleeve/case? I'd like the new laptop to stay nice for...
I'm in the market for a new laptop, and I get a kickin discount on HP through my work (30%). I currently have the dell in my sig, but it's time for something new.
Things I do:
-Web surfing
-School work
-Video streaming
-Music
-Very light gaming
Heres what I'm going to buy, but I want...
I agree, my old HP felt somewhat cheap. The brushed aluminum makes it feel more substantial while still remaining professional enough. I kinda want one for personal use....
Bought my car (2001 Grand Am) off of craigslist. Things I did to make sure it was ok:
-Met with the guy and test drove it 4 times
-Took it into a mechanic to see what needed to get fixed (turns out a lot, which he ended up fixing for free as part of the deal)
-Ran the VIN
-Checked for...
I used 2 different configurations. Back when it was in Beta, I ran a 16gb partition. I didn't do much with it....just web things and poking around to decide if I liked it and if it was compatible with my laptop.
Now that I have the RC, it is my primary OS. It runs very well on the rig in...
I'm using build 7057 on my side partition for kicks. Frankly I'm too tied up with school and work to worry about re-doing my OS and all that goes with it. So, for the mean time, I'll be using vista business and loving every moment of it. My opinions:
Windows 7 got rid of a lot of little...
I decided to get a GPS for my car, but I am in the dark on GPS's. I do a lot of long drives...3-4+ hours, so it needs to have a good battery life and a cigarette lighter charger. I also want something dash/windshield mountable. I'd prefer to keep it under $200 if possible, and I'm open to any...
Oliver....excellent setup. I enjoy the symmetry as far as the dells go. Where did you find that excellent desk? I've been looking for a good corner/L-shaped desk
I agree, but they shouldn't have let their "bread and butter" go. Half-Life is what made Valve what they are if you ask me, so please throw your resources into your old school fans too. The thing that bothers me the most isn't the fact that its taken so long to get the game, rather the fact...
You know why 2008 was so terrible? Another long year without ANY DAMN NEWS ABOUT HL2 EP3. Seriously Valve, did you go on vacation and forget to tell us? I guess thats what I get for expecting something from someone who treats deadlines like a millionare treats pennies. Dicks.
I tested it today and it works! Turned on and booted properly into 7.1. 160mb hard drive, 5mb RAM, 14.1 inch color display with no flaws, working sound, original keyboard and mouse. The kicker is, I saved a laserwriter printer as well and it WORKS! I printed a page out of clarisworks and it...
Just rescued one of these from the dumpster at a local business:

Going to have to test it and see if it works. Any suggestions? I'm sure theres some vintage buyer who would snap this up.
I was thinking about picking up a subwoofer stand for him, specifically this one:

He's got a set of z-5500's that could probably benefit from this. Any thoughts?
I've got a friend who is big into home theater stuff and I need to locate him a good gift. I'm trying to go <$100. Anyone have any ideas? Whats on your HT xmas list?
wow, very well done. I should mention that I am a college student and my school has a campus agreement, so I can get ahold of any version of Vista for free (32 and 64 bit) so that doesnt need to be included.
I was thinking about getting the MSI Wind. Anyone using one? I figured it would be...
1) What will you be doing with this PC? Gaming? Photoshop? Web browsing? etc
Desktop: Web browsing, gaming, productivity, movie watching. No photoshop/video/sound editing
Laptop: Taking notes, web browsing, music listening
2) What's your budget? Are tax and shipping included?
2k between...
Can it be done?
I have some serious $$ coming my way and need a redo of my computer setup. I want to build a good desktop, lots of space and power, video power not that high up on the list (expandable later). I also want a small portable laptop, something that I can use to take notes on...
