I decided to upgrade and use my Intel 925 board's SATA connections, and install RAID 1. I'm just not sure if it came out right! I got 2 identical SATA drives and plugged them into (SATA) 0 and 1, and got a 3rd SATA driver (250gig) split it up in halves. (125gig each). Then I ran the setup. I...

I put my 80 gig HDD into a new case and now it is on its end (before it was doing the horizontal). I know that I'm supposed to reformat it because the read heads have a different angle now, but should I remove the partitions too? No big deal either way, but it has been years, nay, decades...

I'm hoping this will catch someone's eye. I'm running XP home w/SP1 - NO SP2 2gig CPU w/512 memory No Network, just a dial-up (like for coming here!) Installed Sept 10, '04 Last item loaded/change made: Sept. 13 Yesterday I turned this off at 3 and went out. When I turned it back on...

I made the mistake of cracking open my PC case today, and noticed (for the first time) that there is a socket on the rear of this board for a mini power plug. But I couldn't find anything in the manuals that even mentioned it. Is that what it is and has anyone hooked it up? (I can see it...

I was hoping someone out there knows where there is a list of the music videos that are extras in movies. There was one tucked away in the Godzilla (US) extras, and Sixpence did 'Kiss Me' for She's All That'. Anyway, I was wondering if anybody has ever put a list together. It should be out...

...goes to... http://www.cnn.com/2003/EDUCATION/04/24/class.movie.ap/ and I am still having a hard time believing this. If you missed it it was because of Martha, but this teacher should be made an example of too. Just had to share Glenn

And I'm still laughing.. Ok, you know when you open up an envelope before you even check to see who it is from? Well, I did that. I now have a mid-term report for a 9th grader at a local school. It has my address on it, but not my name. The last owners didn't have any children, and it...

I decided to tape Jake 2.0 when it was on yesterday afternoon. If it was going to be good, I wanted the pilot. So, I put a new tape in. I always cut the commercials out too, as I have been doing that for well over a decade now. At any rate, about 3/4's of the way through the show the...

I have some questions about this, so feel free to blast away at anything that I say. I have a feeling that some people think they are receiving digital cable, but are not. The 'top of the line' for this would be to have a cable box with a DVI(-D) output that feeds into an HDTV at 1080i. You...

I decided to copy down all of the Stargate codes and which episodes that they are related to, and came up with this gem. In 'There But For The Grace of God' - time 9:02, Daniel states that they were on P3R233. (This is the mirror for the alternate realities). In 'Point of View' - time 7:49...

Outside of the obvious, (like landscaping/noise) what should I look out for? I have a house now but maintaining it is becoming a major pain. Has anybody tried to do something in their condo and then found out that they couldn't? Something that doing it in/to a house would be a no-brainer...

Just so no one will miss this - check you local schedules! Glenn

I am looking into getting a new set and heard that I can get better sound using five identical speakers. If anyone has done this - what are the pros and cons? What about the freq. response for the surrounds? Any trouble placing them? (as a larger surrond speaker might not hang on the wall so...

In keeping with strange questions, does anyone know what this thing does? I got one in a pile of parts and can't figure it out for the life of me. Thanks! Glenn

I have a ton of spec sheets with different percentages on them, but I am having trouble understanding it. Why are there so amny options and what should I look for to get the best return? I had thought that the longer the 'bank' keeps your money and you can't get at it, the higher the return...

A friend of mine got a blank email recently. It was quickly deleated but a few days later got a message saying "Your base belong to me' while surfing. She is using Zone Alarm and I saw part of her log. The first entry had 'distributed COM services' on it, so I ran a search and found that zone...

See, now we're all going to die! http://www.usatoday.com/news/healths...acrylamide.htm Glenn

I have no idea if you can or even want to do this, but adding a line to each memeber' profile asking how many DVD's do you have might be fun?(?) We could just update it as often as we felt like it, but I would like to see how many all of the members have together. Glenn

He doesn't help out at all with this. He gets done eating and puts everything in the sink, while the dishwasher is only a foot away and empty. I need ideas on how to stop this without saying the obvious - could you pleeeesssseeee at least put them in the dishwasher? Glenn

So, I read this in the paper this morning, and I wanted to share it. It woke me up. http://www.oregonlive.com/living/ore....ssf/html_stan At first, I thought this was great, but then it went downhill. I am only the messenger, so don't shoot me, but I thought it would be nice if we could get...

I know that some members have not been able to shop at Fry's, but they have finally gone online through Outpost.Com. (No, I don't work for them). It will be interesting to see if their prices are still competitive. Glenn

Has anyone received either the Jurassic Park extras disk with the case or the 'free' movie yet? I just noticed that my checks have not even cleared the bank yet. Did I make a mistake by not sending them certified mail? Did anyone see anything like - delivery in 4 - 6 weeks? Glenn

I'm sure no one here likes getting this junk, but when I woke up (before I had my coffee fix) I thought that if I could get one legitimate reply address I could just send them ALL of my spam. Then I got carried away and wondered if we could 'publish' the spam address of the week and have all...

I'm getting my bathroom redone in 2 weeks and wanted a pair of speakers mounted for my CD player. I will be running in-wall cables and plan on putting the speakers about 6' away from each other on a wall about 1' down from the ceiling. I'd like recommendation on in-wall approved speaker cable...

I'm planning on dumping my PIII/733mhz board and getting a PIV/2G CPU, but after a little reading, it isn't so easy. I read that there are P4 specific power supplies out. Outside of the ATX power plug and the regular drive plugs, they have added an extra 12v cord and a 3.3v cord that plug into...

I found out that the more books I read, the fewer movies I wanted to see because of the first images that my brain received while reading it. Often they do not come out the way that we interpret them. Thus, I am wondering how many Harry Potter fans are going to shake their heads because the set...

We all know that some of the center hub designs are less than perfect, and when a piece breaks off, it's terrible, so I came up with a crazy idea and would like to hear what everyone else thinks. This is a completely new design. The center hub would have a center lip to hold the DVD in place...

With over 400 DVD's, this is a first for me, but 'Buffy, the Vampire Slayer' (the movie!) stops at chapter 7, time 13:56, and promptly ejects. Anyone else? Glenn

I got this from the morning paper "Woman files lawsuit because CD won't play in computer. SAN FRANCISCO - A woman has sued for unfair business practices over a Charley Pride CD that she says won't play in her home computer because of techhnology to thwart unauthorized copying and sharing of...

Ok, I've never been there, but as I figured, I still have no clue from any TV station as to just how bad it is. They either show it from a mile up or from only ten feet away. I've heard that the rubble is anywhere from 6 - 8 stories high, but they never mention underground. I saw some diagrams...
