    Old computer wont turn on

    As stated above, take every component of the computer out, except for the power supply, one stick of RAM, and the processor, of course. The graphics card will need to be taken out, as well, if you have integrated graphics. Then, replace each component until the computer refuses to boot again.

    Buying Advice For Mac?

    Says the guy who's profile and signature is "Mac'd out". I have, just as anybody has, Googled the Mac vs. PC debate, and found nothing that has proven anything. All I find is a ton of arguments against one, or for the other. I've even asked IT guys lolz they give me the answer I figured I would...

    Buying Advice For Mac?

    You know, in your entire last post, you just single handedly solved The Microsoft Problem. We shall soon expect to see the Army, DoD, Microsoft, etc switch to Mac's. Amazing. I've read most of those articles already; however, most articles can be and will be manipulated in a way to favor one...

    Starcraft 2 Thread

    Basically all of what you said I love doing. My friend and I played many 2v2's at first, however, he kept wanting to stay in his base and turtle with Protoss, just macroing tons of Voidrays and photon cannons, hoping the enemy doesn't attack, and hoping to win. He got tired of losing quite fast...

    Starcraft 2 Thread

    You rarely get any info out of scouting from the 2:00 to 5:00 range? For example, if the enemy is building Marines and Marauders, zerglings or roaches, building an early Refinery, expanding, etc, you can't find a good unit combo to build as a way to immediately gain an advantage? For me, I've...

    Rate my new build

    You'll be fine with the Deskstar. I own a few of them, well over 5 years old, work fine for me. Hitachi's are cheap because Hitachi can afford to be. Hitachi's drives are built no less cheaply than Western Digital drives. All brands of HDD's are built on an assembly line. Lolz freaking...

    Buying Advice For Mac?

    How is this so? How, in comparing a mountain (Microsoft) to a hill (Unix), is Unix safer, and Windows a less secure design? Please elaborate on how that is true.

    Starcraft 2 Thread

    To be honest, there is no one strategy to Starcraft. Scouting, and then building and producing according to what you have scouted in your opponents base is the best strategy. Scouting normally being one of your SCV's, drone's, or probe's entering the enemy base to retrieve information. The first...

    Router selection

    Sorry, I know it was a good router, however, I'm not understanding why that router is still being recommended to users. It's very old, is still in the g spec, and is a little bit advanced for people who do not understand how to install or use open source software on a router. The price is the...

    Buying Advice For Mac?

    I'm trying my best not to be rude here, but you're definitely making it more difficult to do so. Sure, it's probably true that Mac's don't get as many viruses as PC's. PROVE IT. Stating that is still an OPINION, until you can PROVE that Mac's don't get as many viruses as PC's. Also, as my buddy...

    Buying Advice For Mac?

    Sorry, but stating that a Mac is safer than a PC is an opinion. Fact: A fact is something that is true about a subject and can be tested or proven. Opinion: An opinion is what someone thinks about that subject. Look for clues such as: "I believe...", "It's obvious...", or "They should..."...

    best dvd drive

    Completely agree. Building a DVD burner these days is like making bread. I realistically only buy Lite-On, well because they always price their drives a few dollars cheaper. Not a lot, but why would I even pay a few dollars more for the same drive?

    Firefox 4. What do you think?

    With default settings, I noticed a vast improvement on my older XP machines, and much less memory being used. Not sure how the new layout is a memory waster as stated above, but w/e. Also runs great on my Windows 7 machine. Got me to switch back from IE9.

    Question about amd athlon 2 processor

    I appreciate your reply. You did strike a nerve by insulting any family who has bought a pre-built computer. I'm sure it's quite easy for you to chastise families behind a computer. As intelligent as you attempt to put yourself off as, it's interesting how you're missing key fundamentals...

    Buying Advice For Mac?

    I would have to disagree. It depends on the PC that you have either built, or you have either bought pre-built. I guarantee you that Dell XPS uses high quality parts. However, if you purchase an Asus, or maybe an eMachines, sure, they use cheaper parts. That doesn't mean they are necessarily...

    Buying Advice For Mac?

    I understand your point. I'm sure your Dell XPS is quite a nice computer. To be honest, I don't consider Mac's luxurious at all, but I would definitely consider your Dell luxurious. Also, I'm sure your IT instructor is an intelligent person, and knows what he's doing better than most anybody...

    Buying Advice For Mac?

    I apologize, however, I could not help but dog you a little here, because there are contradictions, and opinions that you're attempting to pass as facts. First, stating "While the OS on a Mac IS indeed more secure" is an opinion. The only time quoting something is safer is with cars, when we...
