    I will be designing a website...

    for my local bowling alley. I have been making websites of different sorts for 10 years but most have been for different projects for myself or someone I know. This will be the first website I get paid to do, and I quickly realized I have no idea how I plan to go about charging for it. Should...

    Stupid myspace question

    Well, there is a guy on another forum I am on who posted pictures claiming they were his and I, as well as the majority of the forum, are almost certain those pics aren't his. Is there any way to take the image link and find the profile it belongs to? Stupid question I know but it would be...

    Need some advice:Avast Antivirus over Norton?

    I work at a computer shop and I use Avast and AVG for viruses and Ad-aware and Mircrosoft Antispyware for adware and spyware. It does a great job. Every once in a great while I will have to manually remove something but the combination of those things is great and fast. I am not a fan of Norton...

    Frankinstein cooling, odd but affective

    All that for a computer case? No thanks, I will stick to the conventional methods that don't require alterations to my homestead. But interesting nonetheless. Pics would make an interesting addition to this post however.

    illeagal?

    Not sure what the laws are there in the UK but in the US this is not an issue because in all honesty ANY time you use a wireless router you are "publicly" transmitting content. Of course the wise thing to do is to secure your network. The only time you need a license is for broadcasting a...

    Norton AntiVirus Download

    Or save your money and get free software that works even better than Norton.

    Omg!

    I don't. People are so ridiculously greedy these days that it makes me want to puke. People will sue over anything and everything. If my kid died from this I would be taking a long hard look in the mirror and ask myself, "Where did I go wrong? Was there warning signs I ignored? Could I have paid...

    Omg!

    Yeah it's sad how parents of kids like this are always looking for a scapegoat. They always are looking for someone else to blame so to immunize themselves from blame. Music, TV, Movies, Video Games....anything, as long as they aren't seen as part of the problem. Go worthless parents, cash...

    Im Stumped

    I built a computer for my friend with a 3800+ (not OCed) with a 6800GT video card with 1GB of Corsair XMS and I tested Wow, Half Life 2, and Doom 3 on full setting and got no lag! Granted you won't be able to multi-task while playing those games but that doesn't apply to too many people anyway...

    gaming mouse

    Yeah when I build my media PC for my living room I am going to get a cordless rechargeable mouse so when no one is using it, it can just sit on the cradle. :cool: As far as a gaming mouse, well I wouldn't want a cordless one for that. I say Copperhead. I would love one of those and I don't game...

    Radiation emits from the components

    lol....I am going to make labels and stick them everywhere.... "WARNING: Living may be hazardous to your health!" If computers were that dangerous to be around, I would probably be dead by now. In the office I am in now I constantly have at least 3+ computers on everyday, two of which are...

    New Cpu Lineup For Amd

    I don't even wanna know how much those would cost....I am going to go ahead and build a system anyway....I don't want to cash out $1,000+ for a brand new processor...I will wait a year or so after they are around, unless I happen to come across a lot of cash hehe.

    Computer freezing

    You should never use a vacuum to clean a computer as it creates static electricity that will ruin your hardware. If that is your personal practice, do so at your own risk. But you probably shouldn't encourage others to do so. Either buy a can of compressed air or if you have a small air...

    There is 3 computers in this house 2 of which are always on and it hasn't caused our bill to get significantly larger.

    Dell computers - quality

    What exactly do you mean, non-upgradable? The hard drive, Cd drives, and memory...at the least are uprgradable. Unless you mean the mobo can't be upgraded. If anyone wants to know my opinion on Dell, just go to the link someone posted before me. I tend to rant about Dell. I should probably...

    External Hardrives in General, Maxtors in Particular

    I think he is wanting to hook both hard drives to his computer and move files from his to his friends. As long as the computer detects both hard drives then yes, just drag and drop the files into his hard drive and delete them from yours.

    Panda vs Norton

    Neither are that great in my opinion.

    what happens after XP?

    On top of that, its an unreleased OS that was downloaded through the net, who knows if: 1. It's been tampered with or not 2. If it's even the latest beta release.

    xp service pack 2 no good..?!? (oem and other bad stuff)

    Unless of course you activate over the phone, which I have done a few times but of course, do so at your own risk (for what little risk is actually involved) since it's technically "illegal" although, I don't think it should be illegal. I bought the CD I should be able to do with it as I please...
