    Any reason NOT to use a computer UPS on HT gear?

    With lightening and other bad weather causing short power spikes and outages lately. I got to thinking about buying a desktop UPS with AVR and plugging the TV and other AV gear into it. Anu thoughts on why this *MIGHT* be a bad idea. I don't have high-end gear or anything with big voltage draws...

    Ghost Rider...can you believe this?

    "So big, in fact, that the actor sports a tattoo of the Ghost Rider's flaming skull on his arm. Makeup artists had to cover it for the film. Says Johnson: "The irony is we had to remove Nic's Ghost Rider so he could play Ghost Rider." :emoji_thumbsup:

    Can you use a Ultra320 SCSI HD with an Adaptec 29160N?

    Ha, I just realized you had 2 questions there...sorry about the ambiguous answer :lol I meant 1. Yes it'll work but.... 2. To get u320 burst speeds you would need specifically a u320 controller and preferrably u320 rated cable since u160 can be shaky. 3.Also, make sure the other drives...

    Can you use a Ultra320 SCSI HD with an Adaptec 29160N?

    Yes. You'll need a cable adapter and the card will only run that drive at it's max speed. It'll work (we do this at work) but you won't take advantage of the drives higher speeds.

    Any fans of 'COYOTE UGLY' here?

    It's a guilty pleasure. :) It's not high art by any stretch but it's one I seem to be able to watch repeatedly. Just a fun, light-hearted movie. My wife enjoys it as much as me for the Aussie dude. ;)

    *** Official CONSTANTINE Discussion Thread

    Was everyones take on Chas was that he was human? I saw it more like he was Constantine's guardian angel (fact somehow hidden from Constantine)....which would put an interesting twist on things in that even God's players were just as capable of breaking the rules as well as God. Puts an...

    ***Official SUPER SIZE ME Discussion Thread

    It isn't the fast food per se....it's the fast food lifestyle. Too easy...high calorie, high sugar, little nutritional value. North America (as one chef put it) is the land of milk and honey. We are a victim of our taste buds. McDonalds is the granddaddy of fast food and a reasonable subject...

    Supid cheap OEM paste wrecks cpu

    Ditto, it winds up insulating rather than transfering. It should always be a fairly thin layer applied evenly with a straight edge and not your finger (a razor blade seems to spread it the easiest). Go to the ArticSilver site...they have picture how to instructions on how to apply paste properly.

    Fast Write on Nvidia FX5 5200

    I believe it's either BIOS supported or it isn't...simple as that. Do you have the latest BIOS update? What Motherboard? revision #? etc... If they don't support, you won't have a way of turning it on.

    Recycle or Not?

    Yes the tax on recycling collection would go into city council coffers but the actual recycling would be done by a plant who tendered the contract with the city (to either do the pickup or purchase the recycled collection or both) and then re-sells the recycled raw material. The recycler would...

    Recycle or Not?

    I actually agree with recycling paper.... I believe in the concept but I won't doubt the possibility that it may spawn more air pollution than it's worth. Not sure if that's been truly measured. I think it's not so much a matter of someone figured it was a good idea but more to the fact that...

    Recycle or Not?

    Interesting thought that it causes more pollution. (Sort of like the old debate that cloth diapers use more water and energy to clean than disposables...I don't buy that because the plastic in disposables never breaks down so that's the worse of 2 evils IMO) The problem could be eliminated if we...

    Need to do some keystroke logging/screen capture

    Not at all...but giving them enough rope to hang themselves won't necessarily solve whatever the problem is either, will it? So, the parents build up lots of evidence, then what? Either way a sit down is coming. One way or another they will have to talk. Treat them with respect and they...

    Need to do some keystroke logging/screen capture

    Not sure what was walked in on....but.... A couple of things to recommend in addition to the software (as the software is easy to find).... a family pc should be in the open a common room with the monitor facing out. Kids (IMO) should not have a personal computer, or laptop for their room...

    So, Does Anyone Want to Talk About the SpongeBob Movie?

    I walked out so dumb I nearly forgot how to drive the car home. Other than a highly creative opening (I was half wishing that the pirates would actually burst into the theater and sit in the front row) the rest was abit of a let down. The Hasslehoff cameo was wasted on the intended age group...

    How to get rid of WinXP login screen?

    The more complex way is to change a registry setting. The easier way is to go to Microsoft's site and download the XP powertoy TweakUI. It will have that option and many others in a nice little GUI tool.

    Free Calendar software recommendations

    Just download the Palmdesktop software....it's free and has a really good calander and contacts section....no big deal that you'll never update a palm. Not sure if you need original software to be installed first....it's worth a try though. http://www.palmone.com/us/support/do...indesk414.html

    Which virus scanner is the best?

    Nod32 is pretty popular (especially with gamers) since it has a very small footprint, it's quick, accurate and resource light. Kaspersky AV http://www.kaspersky.com/ is well regarded as one of the most aggressive and accurate antiviruses out there. You can find their engine in other AV...
