    Part of the photobucket address is IE/FF compatible only. (The few number things in the front). There's a few ways to go about solving it, but read here it'll tell you how to go about solving it: http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Chrome/thread?tid=5a2954220a17a3e1&hl=en
    Re: Ask iMatt, How do you make a virus?
    It depends on the virus. There's tons of different kinds, malware, adaware, trojan horses, worms, keyloggers, registry corrupters.... The answer isn't don't. Nobody likes getting viruses. If you really want to know Google it.

    @Whysosrs I I know I am not iMatt, but I have a suggestion. Try to look through register and try to disable as many unnecessery things as you can (I personally noticed that if you don't do that, quite soon a lot of programs and processes you won't be able to notice, only through Windows Task Manager, are starting up when you turn your PC on. And they keep running, meaning they take lots of RAM.).

    Yeah I use FL Studio too, but how do I customize the key bindings?

  23. iMatt
    Date: Sat, Jun 26 2010 05:19:21

    Open up FL Studio. Then go to “Options” and click “Midi Settings” (or just hit F10). You should see your controller listed under “Output” and under “Input”. Click on the listed midi controller on your output and click “Send master sync”. Also click on the listed midi controller under input and click “Enable”. If you don’t see your midi controller listed anywhere, click “Rescan MIDI devices”, and it should show up. If it does not, make sure you have properly installed the drivers, and that you have correctly plugged in your controller.

    Date: Sat, Jun 26 2010 08:22:20

    OH. Thought you meant a literal keyboard. The keys are already pre-bound in the piano VST plugin. I'm not sure the correspondence, but that should be done automatically.

    1.) Read this article: http://www.microsoft.com/enable/training/windowsxp/keyboardlayout.aspx 2.) I'm not sure what's crashing it. Chrome has some issues with Embedded video and downsized images, asides that I'm not sure what else to tell you 3.) Stability: Firefox. Speed: Chrome. Nerd: Opera. 4.) Stop using rainmeter lol. ...but really there isn't a fix for that. You'd have to write up a tedious script for it to work.

    Probably. There's overwelming amounts of blatant evidence showing that this was a collaborative effort between the larger overseers in this country. What's the best way to subdue a country? Put it into panic mode and control fear. Instant disarray, breaking the Geneva convention, easy legislation,etc. Why do you think we're in a multi-trillion $$$ deficit, the rich got insanely richer and more powerful. The higher ups now control about 70% of all market capital moving through the USA. 911 was just a starting point. Don't get me started on it lol.

Gmail: Wonderful Syncing abilities Native Apps with Android Google Calenders Google Docs ( an online editable .doc not .docx so limited compatibility with the newest office ) Windows Live: More common as an IM Gives access to Sky-Drive ( 25GB of free online storage for any files with a built in gallery feature for pictures ) Office Online (fully usable Word/excel/ppt) integration.

    1.) Regarding the iPod. I'm not sure if iOS 4 implemented an standby WI-FI mode or a Always On WI-FI mode. Stand-by meaning it doesn't search for internet connections until the device is on and being used. Once turned off the Wifi turns off. Always on means you're always hooked up to the net even if the device isn't in use. (The reason for having on standby is for better battery life) I haven't used iOS 4 enough to tell you if it's a software issue (which I'm pretty sure it is already). It takes a few moments to find an internet connection, compare credentials, and then sign on to the router. Personally I think it's something funky in the networking of iOS 4, but as I said, I haven't used it enough to give you a definitive answer, I'll look into it however 2.) Macbooks are great machines, but before you go ahead in buying one understand that on every computer there you're paying around $400.00 or more than a computer of the same specs simply to have the Apple branding on it. OSX Snow Leopard is only $30.00 to buy stand-alone so a $400 premium on a computer that comes with it isn't exactly justified. The other thing is just because you're into art doesn't mean you have to have a Mac. Honestly Windows 7 is a better graphics platform than Mac. I do graphic design work/drawing/writing on here exclusively. Adobe CS5 runs in 64-bit meaning a much faster processing time during in-program renders as well, which Mac does not have either. Anyways, not trying to deter you, just laying some basic stuff to consider. If you still want to go with Mac then have some patients and wait till around November. A new refreshed/updated version of the Macbook Pro line will be coming out this fall. The current specs on the 13" laptops are pretty old by today's standards and you'll pay the same amount for better hardware then too.

When the screen senses two haptic objects at a distance apart, a set of programming rules go into play, which then will correspond those movements into direct input. 2.) The iPhones touchscreen works just as I described above, however they use a very specialized screen with about 60% more sensitivity to haptics along with bleeding edge software. 3.) It won't work. OSX requires a special type of BIOS in the machine before it will even ask to install. There are ways to build your own mac, but it requires specific PC components and doesn't work on normal laptops.

    Just for the record, Mac is a PC. PC = Personal Computer. Man that's annoying...*cough* Anyways.. I'd have to say Windows 7. As it stands it has 100% compatibility with virtually everything out on the software market. I like the interface/window management far more than Mac. I'm a technical user so stuff like Group User Policies/Frameworks/Share and server settings, etc. are a huge plus for me. Also the entire adobe suite runs better on Windows 7 Right now since there's a 64-bit version of each application. Mac doesn't have 64-bit support yet. The only perks in my opinion of having a mac-computer is as follows: + Solid Hardware Design + Easy Warranty System + Access to Final Cut Pro + Access to Logic the rest Windows 7 can do just fine if not better than the Mac platform.

  101. iMatt
    Date: Tue, Jul 6 2010 03:09:40

    Honestly it depends on your Power supply and how much amperage you have available on your 12v rail. Right now 9500 GT is considered Low end on the spectrum of things right now. It also isn't Direct X 11 Compatible so it's not too future proof at the moment. However if you're not too worried about DX11 (bleeding edge graphics software) this is the card I recommend to everyone: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130339 The 9800 GTX+ is an amazing card especially for the value. It'll run everything you can throw at it and then some no problem. for $105.00 it's a pretty small investment for the next few years of solid gaming.

    Don't buy from best Buy. EVER. They don't use the official hardware/parts from companies, everything is 3rd party bought off hand. Nothing goes through the manufacturer.

If the computer is on their warranty it doesn't go anywhere near the manufacturer. It just gets sent in to a refurb plant. If it's off their warranty and the base warranty is still existing then yes it goes through the manufacturer, but for the entirety of the warranty on their terms it doesn't go to manufacturer for repairs.

    HDMI = only good if you have an HDTV and you're not too worried about response time. HDMI tends to carry a bit of lag, it's not too noticeable to the average person, but if you're like me and require 1/60th of a second timings it's a huge deal. If you're not worried about it you'll be just fine. I use a VGA cord with a computer monitor + computer speakers for mine. Instant response and low lag monitors. HDMI carries video and audio...not sure why need a hybrid cable. Going through an HDMI switch though will cause lag/possible distortion since you're splitting the signal.

    See Above
    Favourite Asian food?
    Orange chicken, an egg-roll, and chow mein. I'd dominate that shit.
    Have you ever been to Singapore?
    Only on the Travel Channel.
    Will you come to singapore?
    Someday. I need Chicken Rice.
    What are some free programmes like rocketdock/launchy to customize your desktop?
    I use Rocketdock and Display-Fusion for my Dual monitors. I don't really care for shell replacements. I like how windows 7 is just as is.
    How do you make an iphone app?
    Program it using apples required framework code and then pray to god they don't reject it.
    How do laptop touchpads work? I mean, how are they able to detect your touch?
    Easy. Sensor. Pressure here...activate cursor. When you move a direction it's tied to a cursor input.
    Why won't a stylus work on an iphone? (except the iphone specific ones)
    Because iPhone's require haptics. (Mix of pressure and heat)
    Plasma screen or LCD screen?
    LCD. Cheaper and more energy efficient right now. (Plus plasma is being phased out)
    What's the difference?
    Plasma can display much deeper blacks and richer colors, but there is a small chance of burning the plasma inside. LCD's reproduce colors by manipulating light waves and subtracting colors from white light. (Much more difficult to get right)
    Does bootcamp mean that mac has won over computers because it can now run mac stuff and windows stuff too?
    No. 97% of the world still uses Windows exclusively. Plus it can't run windows efficiently. You can't do cross platform gaming due to compatibility issues.

    1.) No, most viruses bypass that and will still run in the background. Generally what I do is first track down the file using Hijackthis or something else and then force rename it to a txt file. That way it can't execute, then restart into safe mode. Delete and remove it + the traces of it. Then do a restore to the day previous to getting it. 2.) Orbit mist. Much better. 3.) Intrinsic value they associate with comfort. 4.) Most kids start masturbating around 12-13 actually. Once the hormones kick in then it's only natural.

[QUOTE=SJ;8243]but i have windows 7[/QUOTE] Did a bit of research, this is the best solution I've seen to it: http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/w7desktop/thread/429fb2bb-c29a-4da7-97cd-0165a7e25ff1 [QUOTE=Prince wrote: If christians(and other religions) believe god gave everyone free will, why do they think it is wrong to not be a christian(and other religions)
    It's a double edged sword. The whole idea behind it in religious terms is that a higher being gave us the freewill to choose in hope of us making the ideal choice. That's the foundation of what faith is.
    Why do terrorists think their god wants them to kill people? isnt religious meant to be peaceful
    1.) They're not terrorists. America labelled them as terrorists. 2.) They're uninformed misguided and persuaded men/women/children. They may not understand the bigger picture, but they're still people just like us. Anyways, with that said... They don't think their god wants to kill them. They justify killing by doing it in the NAME of a god. Religious reasoning is nothing more than a battle for power just as it has since religion came about. Forcing one's beliefs onto everyone else who's not willing is never going to be peaceful.
    does everything have a reason?
    No. Some things just happen and the best you can do is deal with it when it does.
    how do you want to die
    Happy.
    do blind(from birth) people dream colours
    From what I know they do not, but instead they sense things the same way they would in real life. Strong feelings, sounds, thoughts, conversations. A dream in essence is a memory-dump, I'm guessing they'd have the exact same thing, just simply not visual. Pretty sure they wouldn't dream in color or any other type of visual cue since the brain doesn't know what anything looks like visually.
    what is your ultimate goal
    Find love and die happy.
    what in your opinion is the purpose of life
    "The purpose of finding a purpose is to give us a purpose." It's a cycle, our purpose is to exist through whatever means necessary. That's the how our brains are wired.
    do you think we as humans should analyse why we live or just live it.
    Both. We need to enjoy life as it comes, but sometimes we have to look back on things to learn and grow from experiences.
    describe the way you live in a sentence
    Alone and content for the time being.
    mind over matter?
    Yes.
    if a tree falls over in a forest and no one is there, does it make a noise
    Of course it does. Leaves/needles/wood make sound as it brushes against anything why would it be different with other tree's around it?
    what 'something' (film/person/song/quote etc) has given you the greatest inspiration
    George Carlin.
    what 'something' (film/person/song/quote etc) has given you a new/different look on life?
    1,000,000 combinations of things. That's what growing up is, you can't attribute it to simply one thing.
    is the world beautiful
    Perception is relative.
    is the world a nice place
    See above.
    how would you improve it
    I wouldn't. It's not my place to make others believe what I do. I'd be no different than every religion.
    do you believe in anything other than science
    I believe science is on the correct track however our current logic system doesn't account for the impossible. How to create something from nothing. I follow science aspiring that question might be answered and proven. I believe in my personal thoughts along with science so technically yes.
    what do you think happens when you die
    We stop. The body and mind stop. We don't burn, we don't go on to an overly lit white place, we simply stop.
    how do you deal with grief and suffering
    Give it time.
    is life too short
    It all depends on the person. Some think they've been here too long, some feel like their youth was yesterday.
    who are you thinking of right now
    No one honestly.
    who do you care about most right now
    Honestly no one. I'm better off alone.
    would the world be better if everyone was nice? (think about it carefully)
    No. Being harsh about things can be just as useful as being nice. It's a delicate balance depending on the situation at hand.
    i think youre quite wise (:
    Why thank you.

    Skip the SE modded stick, by the time you pay for the buttons and a seimitsu stick (which is garbage imo) you'll be spending around 80-90$ I don't care for the SE form factor, it doesn't give enough room for your wrists.

    Scratches you're SOL unless you're expect with plastic sealant lol. Finger prints you can just wipe down a microfiber cloth and some cleaning fluid.
    Should I be persecuted for watching anime instead of reality shows.
    No. Anime is awesome. Reality shows are fucking terrible...like god awful. TV sucks in general actually.
    Family and friends/Love/Education/Money? Which is the most important?
    Out of those probably love. Makes you think much differently about life than you normally would.
    Does internet speed happen to lie within the internet speed you're given or the signal strength the router gives off?
    Both. There's a handful of different factors that go into internet speed. 1.) How fast your physical connection is (10,15,20mb) etc. 2.) To determine the base speed you're getting take the amount of speed you're paying for, let's say a 15MB connection. You only get about 1/3 of what you pay for(that's simply how it is) so you're getting 5MB of actual data 3.) Then take into account possible pipeline traffic. (Signal being sent to many different places in the same area) and bandwidth throttling (which can happen if you're using too much data or illegal downloads perhaps) 4.) Once you have your base speed that's when you factor in hardware limitations. - Modem that supports a high speed connection past 10mb - Router that can do 10/100/1000 - Support for 802.11 b/g/n (N being the fastest) - Ethernet port speed on the computer - Type of Wireless card from there the rest depends on the speed of the computer. If you're computer is slow you're internet is going to be slow, pretty basic bit of knowledge.
    Dish or DirecTV?
    I had Direct TV growing up, too expensive. I don't watch TV, but my parents have Dish and they say it's a lot cheaper.
    On Lockerz should I get an iMac or get a lot of money on paypal and build my own comp?
    I'd build your own because it'd be far cheaper and trying to get anything through Lockerz is virtually impossible since they raised the point-levels.

    1.) I don't use lockerz. That means nothing to me 2.) Anything good, I just finished Texhnolyze the other week. Quality. 3.) You'd have to play the equivalent of 1hr nonstop to get a workout benefit 4.) External SATA. It gives you an external 3.0gb SATA port for external HDD's. I use it currently for my external. (You can transfer a movie(750mb) in 20 sec. on a standard 7200rpm drive) 5.) That's a terrible idea. You're hotboxing your laptop. Meaning there is NO AIRFLOW WHATSOEVER. Don't do that. 6.) I use a trash-can. Looks less trashy (pun)

    1.) Yeah, some people just need less sleep than others. 2.) No. running your laptop on Power alone is retarded and can damage your laptop 3.) If your power supply can support a newer graphics card then yeah I definitely would. 256 is becoming quickly outdated. 4.) Hersheys. You can make smores. 5.) I hate LG. That is all. 6.) Because most keyboards don't have anti-ghosting technology. Easiest way to get around that is buying a gaming keyboard. Most have support for up to 7+ keys being pressed at once 7.) Razer Arctosa: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16823114010 Good gaming keyboard for a pretty good price. 8.) No not really. 9.) That's what this thread is for.

What's a good laptop I can buy there/[/QUOTE] Minimum specs you'll want a decent laptop: Core i3/i5/i7 Processor (will range from 1.3-1.7ghz) They're quad cores so just do the math. 4GB or More of DDR3 Ram 320GB-500GB HDD 1600x900 Widescreen 512MB Graphics chip. (Usually will be like Nvidia 320m or ATI 4670) 2.) I just looked through the futureshop laptop section and there are no decent deals. Most of the laptops on there you're paying up the ass for outdated hardward and lack of video-card power. You're better off just buying something you like and then scouting around for better deals. [QUOTE=Tetsip wrote: What are good specs in an average desktop computer? I know nothing about specs .__.
    My standards are a tad high compared to most simply because I'm a power user, but it also saves you from having to upgrade every year. If I was buying a machine, this is MY personal spec list: CPU: Intel Core i7 930 (2.8ghz) Memory: 6GB DDR3 1600Mhz HDD: 1TB Graphics: ATI 5970 or Nvidia 460 GTX Power Supply: 700w +
    How could one go about picking up a prostitute, legally/illegally.
    Look up ads for Escort services, they usually offer off the books "sessions" or drive around in a shady neighborhood. Which I highly do not recommend nor having sex with a prostitute lol.
    How do people get into the mafia, triad etc. I here there are hundreds of thousands even millions of people in some of these organizations... ?
    You don't find the mafia's, they find you. It's all about having the right connections. There are tons of people in these organizations...but not millions.
    How could you get some illegal drugs without any connections?
    You Don't. Just go to Amsterdam and talk to some locals, pretty sure they could point you in the right direction.
    can you perform autofellatio?
    No. I had major back surgery in March, last thing I'd want to try lol.
    Would you ever want to?
    See Above.
    Why do people take facebook so seriously like if you dont reply to something?
    Because people are retarded.
    Why do people consider sex as something you have to do in your lifetime?
    It's a coming of age that's been used since man first figured out how to reproduce.
    Do you consider it an important thing? or are you like me and do you just think our hormones drive us to reproduce as much as we can and its not a special thing?
    Sex is just sex if there's nothing driving that besides physical pleasure. Does it feel great? Yes, but does satisfy our long term goals? No. (Well it can if you're a porn star I guess)...I digress...*cough* Sex in a good loving relationship is crucial believe it or not. It's what keeps the physical intimacy close between people. Granted some couples don't need physical closeness, but a vast majority do. Hormones drive us (Men) towards sex because that's what the purpose of men is in the first place, to reproduce with as many women as possible. Not saying to go out and sleep with everyone, but that's how men's brains are wired.
    Do you believe in love or do you just believe in the same as me above ^?
    Of course I believe in love. It's simply a matter of knowing what it is when it's staring at you in the face.

    1.) Stretch less than that. Do static stretches, those are more beneficial for every day activities. The muscles need to be worked to be stretched, just randomly doing stretches won't improve it very fast that's for sure. I'd recommend doing a light yoga session daily. That'll show the right way to be moving. 2.) Well you can, just gravity will be against you. I'm 240, but I look completely normal. It's just our build. Gymnastics you need to be lighter weight otherwise it'd be like hitting the ground with the force of a cement truck. Some people can overcome it and gain some serious strength, but it's an insane regimen to take on. 3.) No. People have gotten too stupid. 4.) Don't even get me started. That man turned a balanced budget into Multi-trillian $$$ deficit, wire-tapped our phones, put no regulations on Wall Street, and most of all WAS HORRIBLY INCOMPETENT 5.) He has the right to blame EVERY FUCKING ONE on him. Bush killed the country. Obama is trying to clean it up, and not even he can punch the amount of bullshit and financial damage Bush stirred up. 6.) No. It's far harder 7.) Oh definitely, you could easily build a solid gaming rig with a GTX 460 for that price

    Ah thanks. I have troubles connecting to the internet on my iPod Touch 2nd Gen. It's out of warrenty, so I can't return it or get it fixed by Apple. This happens once every month. My iPod identifies the network. Connects to it. It even has the little wi fi wave signal to show it, but when I go to the network and click the arrow to the right of the name. It only shows the IP Address and Subnet Mask. The rest are blank. How do I fix this? I can still get internet connection on both my Desktop connected to the same modem. I try forgetting network, renewing lease and it all doesn't work. Most of the time I just unplug the modem, wait a few minutes and then it starts to work. But this is mostly hit and miss and sometimes doesn't work. Also, this started to happen recently. Whenever I turn on my iPod, or wake up from sleep mode, since I rarely "shut down", there is a wifi signal, but only for a few seconds. I have to wait a few minutes and it works perfectly fine. Settings say I'm connected to the network the whole time. It's really annoying when I turn on my iPod to check my mail or weather and have to leave it on for a few minute, if I turn it off, I'll have to repeat. I was in a hotel recently and used thier connection. No problem there, so it might be my connection or modem problem. Argg it's so annoying. I would do anything for you if you fix this.

I simply ride them. ****Ba dum Tiss**** [QUOTE=shoeman6;11236]I have an Ipod Video 4 or 5th gen can't remember Anyways The hold button is not responding, and it isn't recognizing whether or not the headphones are plugged in. I did a test to see what was wrong and it wouldn't detect headphones at all... also, the hold button is not working as I said before, much like the headphone jack. other than that, it is completely fine. How do I fix this? Do I need a new part?... can I just go in and try to put the wires back? Never mind, I opened it up, and a very small ribbon cable was torn... how should I go about fixing this, is it even possible? >.> What should I do with the iPod now? It works for everything except hold and the headphone jack.[/QUOTE] Those tiny ribbon cables you can't replace. It depends on which ribbon cable you ripped. On the newer iPod Classics the headphone jack and hold switch modules are built onto the mainboard. You'll probably have to get a new mainboard for it (which would be around $60 if you go through apple-care). You could probably snag a new one on ebay for like 20-30 if you know your way around electonics and can solder a bit.

    Practice 90* backing and parallel parking. Those are probably the more difficult of what you'll have to do.

    No I mean backing into 90* parking spot. Aka, Go forward, then in reverse turning the 90 to back in.

    Personally I think iPod touches are a waste of money, but there will be new iPods coming out this fall for the same price point probably.

    1.) Follow Gadget blogs a few times a day such as Engadget, Gizmodo, Slashdot, and read comments sections for leaked links. 2.) UPSBv3 didn't work well, but UPSBv4 hasn't given chrome a single issue for me. On v3 it was just how pro board handled attached objects. 3.) Mine are stock palm headphones I got with my PRE. However I'd go with the silicone tip, the only problem is that ear-wax will grease it up if you don't clean your ears daily.

    wtf how did you scratch THE SCREEN. That layer on the faceplate is pretty thick... There are no repairs for scratches on the ACTUAL panel. You'd just need to get a new one. You can prolly find one for 30$ or so. Easy to install yourself.

    iMatt. I want to build my computer, but I haven't kept up with what's new and such, so I don't know which parts to get. I want a desktop computer that's JUST A TAD BIT on the high end side. I will use it for gaming, torrenting (like it matters lol), Photoshop, LP's, and normal computery stuff. And school related stuff as well. May you make some suggestions as to what parts I could get for such a computer? I'm fine with normal air cooling, the water cooling stuff may be a little more expensive and because I'm scared of leakage. If you choose an Intel processor, why not AMD, and vice versa. If you choose a Nvidia graphics card, why not ATI, and vice versa. Oh and the case you decide to go with can be mid tower or full tower, I don't really mind which.

    Question 1: Even though I didn't ask that question THANK YOU IMATT! I was wondering what a good gaming comp for around $1000 would consist of, since in the future (likely, far future) I'd like to be able to play Starcraft 2 on Ultra and not dirt low settings. From what I looked at based on the processor, GPU, etc., this seems more than enough to do so right? Question 2: Now can I have $1000? :D Guestion 3: You seem to get tons of tech support or computer help questions, how come? Are you just savy with that or is it related to your current or future field of interest/education/employment?

    1.) OH YEAH. You'll be able to play all new games for the next year or so on high settings. 2.) Only if you give me $1,000 3.1) I seem to be able to help them lol 3.2) I'm just savvy. Haven't had any formal training lol. My personality fits right in line with computer work. If I don't know how something works I will make it a point to educate myself to know how and I like knowing what makes things tick. I'll take apart hardware just to see what it's like.

    Yeah you can do Raid 0, but you won't get too much performance since you're not using a 10k RPM drive or an SSD as master. Regarding the case, The NZXT Phantom isn't out yet. It'll also cost $140.00 (which to me is a bargain for that kind of a case, but a rip off for most people) when it does come out. What most people do is have all main windows programs on HDD(0) and all storage on HDD(1).

VLC cannot do either of those along with a whole boatload of features I love in KMPlayer, but too niche and nerdy to list.

    1.) Nobody should ever need an 8hr battery unless you're going on a fucking safari LOL. Even in college you won't have 8hrs of battery no outlet classes. 2.) The only computer on the market that can do 6-8hr battery is a Macbook Pro. That's light. However you're gonna pay a stupid amount of money for it.

    The reason they're under $1,000 is because it's a glorified netbook. The stats are garbage. On their highest end model the UL80VT uses this processor: 1.3GHz Intel SU7300 Core 2 Duo Processor aka outdated and slow. Hell the new Atom Dual core's in netbooks could out perform it.

The biggest one I suggest to people for tinkering is python, it's really easy to understand and doesn't take a vast knowledge of syntax. However if you want to learn a SOLID language, start with C++. C++ is very difficult to understand, but once you do it'll make every other language come much easier.

    It's all genetics man. It'll help if you eat right, and sleep lots. No chips + pop playing CoD till 4.

    1.) I do not. I don't. That's like 100$ you can use to buy a new arcade stick 2.)

The bottom row of keys don't work, the enter key doesn't work, and the esc key and others do not work unless I bang my keyboard from the back and hope it starts registering hits. (I typed this with my laptop keyboard, I use a separate because I play stepmania and I do not want to screw my keyboard on that. What are your thoughts on counter insurgency? Is it better to get a job you like doing and is fun, or getting a job that is practical and pays more? You watch porn? O_o

    So I've been considering what you said and I let go of the whole idea of buying a laptop altogether. I was considering some prebuilt PCs, but I just totaled it up and building a PC is much cheaper... Which is exactly what I didn't want to do. When I built my last PC I ran into a shitload of problems: for starters one stick of RAM was faulty, I had an Abit mobo and alternating between SLi and Single GPU was done with a card...witch was held down by flimsy metal clamps = big problem, I also managed to fry a resistor in my power supply later on. What can I do this time around to make sure I don't eff it up? ._. Also, I haven't checked up on the computer hardware market for several years, I'm not exactly sure what is compatible with what...could I email you my Newegg list and you could double check? :innocent:

    1.) Display driver failing means you need to reinstall drivers or update to newest kind. 2.) I'd open it up and check for loose wires before ruling out a dead speaker. If anything, just get a small 2.1 system for your laptop. 3.) Toshiba Satelite http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=5581193&CatId=17 HP ProBook http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=6288531&CatId=17 It doesn't matter, whatever your preferred resolution is.

    If it's a single Core. No. The 2.6ghz Dual core would smoke it.

    So a 3.0ghz quad core would be even better?

    Wah, whenever I open my Macbook Pro from sleep, it has access to my wifi for like 30 sec, then reconnects (1 minute or so), and then says no IP address, wait another minute without doing anything, and it magically works again. I don't want to have to wait 3 mintues everytime I open my Macbook to access the internet. Solution? Would it be the router? Since my iPod has the same problem. Also, sometimes in the middle of surfing the web, the wifi suddenly disappears again! I go to network diagnosis and it says IP address no detected. What the hell? My iMac is connected by wire to the same router, but experiences no problem. Still router problem? Then again, when I was using wifi from a hotel with my iPod, all was peaceful and fine. P.S.

    I don't care for either, but if I had to choose, iPod Touch. Does more shit. You meet someone, you talk, you click, you ask them out, girl-friend. Pretty straight forward. Don't give into the hormones. The amount of things that can go wrong at your age makes it downright retarded. Seriously, pregnancy scares, condoms DO BREAK, following her menstrual cycle, birth-control which in turn can lead to hormone inbalance which leads to moodiness. Not to mention STI's and STD's.

    Yes. It is a good phone. Super AMOLED screen is awesome, and Eclair runs smoothly on it. I have it, and I absolutely love it. You WILL get a data plan however, because it's required for phones like the Vibrant. Sorry to intrude iMatt, but I just had to.

    If by PMP, you mean portable music player, than iPod Touch supports apple lossless files. I can just convert my torrented flac albums to that. Still work right? As for the headphones.

    Sorry iMatt. It will work... but you still wont be able to tell the difference. Plus, ALACs are just as big as normal FLAC's, and that would just fill your iPod up a lot faster. I would recommend going with at least 320 MP3's. It will seriously be the same thing.

    Is there a IEM or earbud good enough to tell the diff? Maybe it's just me, but 320 mp3's sound kind of fuzzy some times.

    to all those asking about headphones and the like, just go into bestbuy or some shop and test them out yourself. thats the most surefire way. however, not all headphones are up for testing...so i suggest you read reviews for those ones. check out headfi.org, amazon.com, google, etc (imatt seems to be biased about sennheiser headphones lol xP theyre legit headphones nonetheless)

    You'd have to physically open and look at the hardware inside. It's not illegal. Some parts are factory, others are custom ordered by best buy that usually have lower quality parts to keep the price lower. It's still made by the manufacturer, but of lesser quality to be sold at best buy at a lower price.

    I can get a pair of dr dre studios for 100 bucks, which they usually go for x3 that price. I know beats are overpriced and marketed to be the best, but for 100 bucks, should I get it? Most of my music are 320kps or lossless files, and would there be a notable difference between the studios and my skullcandy ink'd. I'm really tempted to buy it for 100, but I'm concerned about it's portability, since it's huge and I mainly listen to it on the way to school. Thanks!

    They require batteries just as a heads up and they're not the most comfortable thing that's for sure. For a $100 make absolutely sure it's the real one, there are TONS of fakes out there.

    Yes, a good friend of mines is selling for 100, and I'm pretty sure it's real. I think he bought it from Futureshop. I saw some videos and the fakes are VERY similar. How can a noob like me check for sure? Also, most of my songs are in flac/lossless format on my iPod (Apple lossless since I had to convert from flac to play on iPod), would the sound be more crisp and clear than my skullcandy inkd? P.S. I have this problem on my iPod. It's memory is usually filled up to the rim at 8gb, and it shows on iTunes too. 6.83GB to be exact with 0.18GB of free space. When I want to sync a few photos on there, it never works, even if the photo is less than 0.01GB, it says the album is full. It never lets me fill it up to the rim. Why is that?

    I heard somewhere that even if you have lossless files, some mp3 players can't handle them and would sound like shit. Is my iPod Touch 2gen okay to play lossless files? I'm quite interested in an iPhone because I don't want to bring my phone and my iPod with me everywhere I go. Is there a cheaper option? I'm looking for a phone that can use SIM card, headphone jack, mp3 player, and surf the internet.

    1.) It can only play ALAC files (Apple lossless). You can convert FLAC to ALAC if you have those type of files, but honestly you won't tell much a difference between a 320 bitrate and a lossless file. 2.) If you're on AT&T the iPhone is the only way to go (especially if you want to listen to music and browse the web at the same time)

    If you're going to wear them for jogging everyday, just use Apple headphones. Your music quality will be terrible, but you won't really notice if you're running. The good thing about using Apple ones is that they don't suffer from microphonics. Fold your headphone/earphone wires properly. It'll save them.

    1.) Stop Buying Skull-candy. They are such a terrible brand it's not even funny. 2.) Task Manager of any kind. The rest are personal preference. 3.) I don't live in Canada.

Couldn't Remember. Honestly if you're thinking going the i5 route you can save yourself a couple hundred $$$ going with AMD's new Phenoms (6 core). They're pretty damn competitive. Liquid cooling is only worth it if you plan on overclocking your CPU past 4.0Ghz and your videocard to RIDICULOUS settings. If you're not a computer guru, stay away. They're incredibly expensive systems (never buy premade stuff, always get your own components **radiator/resavoire/pump/tubing/waterblocks/sealant etc.**. They're a bastard to install. I'd say just skip it and go with a good air cooling system. Most people don't need insane overclocks.

    Here's a bit of a conundrum that I've been troubled with for some time. I actually posted this on a supposed computer help forum and couldn't find a fix: Let me first make it clear that I have a mouse that works perfectly fine. People at the other board didn't seem to get that. I've been using my mouse keys for a while for playing certain games and such, but not too recently I've come across a problem. Normally, what I would use the mouse keys for was to do Control+2 to do a "skip" downwards, hit 5 to click, and then repeat as necessary. Before it would only do a jump of one interval at a time per firm key press of 2, but now it seems that unless I use the faintest possible tap of the key, it automatically skips down two jumps instead. This was working perfectly fine for a long time and it just mysteriously decided to stop working one day. These are my current settings: I'm running Win7 64bit Pro and have all the latest updates. I'm on a laptop using an external KB since my laptop didn't come with a numpad. Some additional details from some deliberation:

    Did you mean the distance per interval was too long or that you are actually getting two intervals per key press?
    I'm actually getting two intervals per key press, but only if it's a firm press. If I tap it only ever so slightly, it only goes 1 interval. Before a firm key press would only move it 1 interval. Here is exactly what I'm trying to do: 1. Upon click (numpad 5), it drops the menu 2. While holding control/having sticky keys, pressing 2 lowers the pointer location a fixed amount. 3. Clicking again chooses the option, and conveniently leaves the pointer over the next item. I briefly experimented with these keyboard settings, to no avail:
    How about uninstalling that particular game and just reinstalling it again...? If you say no changes have been made on default settings. Otherwise, wait for another better solution.
    It's a web based game that runs on Java. I've been updating my version of Java so I don't think that would be it.
    Browser?
    FF. Running 3.6.12. I also tried Chrome and it also doesn't work there.
    Does pressing control + 4, 6, or 8 give you a double increment also or is it just "control + 2"?
    All four directions exhibit this behaviour
    If you turn off mouse keys and use the number pad to type numbers, do you get two numbers per press?
    Hmm, an interesting thought, but I just tried it and I get single digits. I pressed the keys pretty firmly too. This is using relatively high repeat delay and acceleration. And that's all I got from the other forum. I'm not sure if you have anything else to try/add, but I'm welcome to any suggestions :)

    1.) iPad is stupidly over-priced. $700.00 for 64GB and a larger screen is NOT worth it--especially if you're just wanting music/games/apps. The new iPod touch will work just fine, far more cost effective as well. 2.) Your cousin is a fan-boy. Tell him to stop. That is all lol.

    Book or the internet. Real life teachers aren't too much a help honestly, the biggest thing is knowing where to start. Majority of what you'll be doing is building muscle memory and finger dexterity. You don't need a teacher to do that. It's not worth it imo.

    Is it really necessary to use an anti-static strap when building my computer? I'm getting a 1 TB HDD for my build, but I want to back everything up just in case. Would this do, or should I settle with less space? What if I were to use an SSD to install Win 7 on? Would it really be worth the faster load times? Suppose I were to somehow run out of space on the 1TB HDD, if I wanted to add more storage (via installing another HDD), do I just go right ahead and connect it, making sure I have the jumpers arranged properly, and we're good to go? I apologize for all my questions.

    1.) Not really. Most people are a bit overly cautious lol. Just make sure you're not like rolling around on carpet before you assemble stuff lol. 2.) I'd keep a backup. That'd be just fine. Long as you have something to keep your important stuff on. 3.) SSD's are awesome if you can afford them. They boost performance pretty high. I would say yes if you can afford one. But even 128GB SSD's are insanely expensive. 4.) You'll be installing SATA drives. You don't have to worry about Master/Slave jumper settings like on PATA (IDE) drives. Those are simply plug and format. No need to worry. 5.) No worries. Gives me something to do.

So I've decided to make a DC and SC mod. What parts do you recommend to buy off Penwish that would be good for modding, just plain modding to create something new? And second, since I read that you make inserts via Photoshop, what exactly do you start with? Do you pick a color scheme, choose a good font for lettering in the insert, or just make a cool abstract design? Thanks, Riley

    Hey iMatt, I'm looking to possibly get a solid desktop/gaming comp for college (not a laptop guy, games are meh on em, and i could always just get a crappy netbook for in class if i needed it). Really, though, I don't game super hardcore stuff, but I would like to have a computer that could handle games on high or the highest settings well for at least a couple years. Specifically, I play Starcraft 2, and would definitely like to be able to play it on Ultra, or at the very least high. But, I don't really wanna have to spend something like $2000 on that.... Is there any comp build that'd be able to get me what i'm looking for for like, $1000-1100 ish (or less if possible ._.)? Or at least around that? Like I said i'm not looking at mega insanely needy games, just like Blizzard games or games with similar graphics/requirements.

I was thinking of getting it for PC, and since I just have Macs, I could get a port, or run boot camp, which would take more work. I don't want to spend any money on console, Xbox, PS3, just for BO.

    1.) Black Ops a bit taxing in terms of hardware requirements. 2.) Running boot-camp doesn't perform all too well with cross-platform graphics. Expect some stuttering issues/patches needed if you want to play it via boot camp. 3.) Black-Ops for the Wii plays nothing like the 360/PS3 counter part. They might as well be different games entirely. I would get a Xbox 360. Shit ton of great games and not shit-online play.

    There's a number of ways. 1.) Realize that a switch is a way to toggle a circuit. 2.) Pen-wise, use it to complete the circuit vs. turn it on and off. 3.) I used a contact strip attached to the cap, that when you twisted it down a bit, the LED would go on, twist up, the contact strip left the top of the battery circuit. You can do the same concept with a retractable clicker. The issue is knowing how to mount your batteries, let alone run the wires

    If you have a smartphone, tether the internet connection and use your phone's internet. Slower, but no limits. The method I used was IP address directions. Start by opening up a terminal/command prompt and pinging the website you want to go to. say: ping www.google.com reply from {IP Address} like http://209.85.225.103/ Type that into the browser bar, that should work most of the time, except DO NOT TELL ANYBODY HOW YOU DO IT otherwise any IT's will see patterns in the server logs.

    I've been out of high school for like 2.5 years. Had no need to be up to date on bypassing programs. However we had USB devices limited to storage and shell programs disabled(so we couldn't run standalone programs) If your school doesn't limit USB devices then give mike's idea a shot

    Headphone wise, like straight from store, I'd probably just go with some mid-range sony's. Like $30.00 . Nothing bank breaking, but still better than average. As dumb as it sounds however, these are what I use now. I've tested this with various iDosers, they can hit a really large spectrum. They're really good quality actually =/ Had mine for 2 years, still going good. Best part, they're cheap as dirt http://www.amazon.com/Palm-Stereo-Headset-Pixi-Pre/dp/B002CMEIW0

    =/ I never understand why people buy expensive earbuds. I have yet to see a pair that last more than a year with regular usage. They're easily breakable and easy to short. (since none use heavy duty wires). If I had to choose I'd opt for the astros. Looks like they used better grade/tangle free. I'd go that route.

    Tripods can vary anywhere from 10-200$. However since it's just for a webcam mount, expect to pay $20-30 for a nice tall tripod. A solid webcam, I'd say around $60-70 for a higher end model. (better image processing)

    @Storm Not to intrude on iMatt's thread, but I personally think virtualdub works quite well, and if you know how to use it you can also do some minor editing to clips (basically just add/remove any sound already associated with the video file, and cutting clips), but it also allows you to record pretty good .avi files with basically any webcam.. Although most all webcams require hardware specific software to change things like exposure, focus, etc.

    I was laughing by line two. Greatest quote right here:
    Phung learned how to “overclock” the CPU, a complicated task to perform for any computer engineer. Overclocking, which can only be done on homemade computer’s, sets the clock in the CPU to a faster speed that allows games and other application to load in less time.
    Yes. It totally takes an experienced computer engineer to press F2/F12 and go into bios. Hell with todays boards you can press a one-touch button and it automatically adjusts voltage. Over-clocking = easy. Liquid nitrogen/Helium cooling cyclings for SUPER-clocking takes engineering skill. Side-Note: Totally kept reading Phung's name as: "Phuck"

    dengtao;44102]For beginning photographers, what are the best things to experiment with taking photos of? i.e. people in certain poses, flowers, bugs, a road, foods, etc.[/QUOTE] First know how cameras work, what every aspect of photography is. You can take photos, but until you know what it is your exactly doing then you're not pushing yourself forward. Understand exposure, ISO, lens types (telephoto/macro/etc.), and all the other things that go with photograpy. Once you understand what you want out of a photograph in terms of personal taste, then you can go and figure out what objects/people/whatever fit into that personal criteria. There is no do this this this and this to make you better. All about developing a personal style and understanding of photography vs. knowing what to take a picture of.

    Not the same specs. The Toshiba has a larger/better screen. Great. The GPU is worse lol. The lenovo rocks a 4250 (that's better than what's in my laptop right now). With a 2.3ghz AMD Turion. The toshiba runs a glorious Intel Media Accelerator HD with shared memory (aka it'll use up all of your ram if you're doing anything video intensive). Not to mention is runs a shit pentium D. Not even a Core 2 solo lol. Let alone at 2.0ghz.

    The cases are seasonal, they'll offer just what's new and what's in stock. It's just out of stock probably. All those systems come prebuilt you know? Like it's just like dell, you customize it, they make it.

    Yes it is. Just make sure you use photo-paper. Neon pink is printable, but you need to have a solid laser printer to get NEON pink. Like even mine is pretty higher end, but it still has issues with super bright colors. Not much you can do settings wise, it all boils down to what the quality of the printer can do. The only way to preview EXACT colors before printing is with an 100% Adobe Gamut RGB display. I have it on my laptop (it's glorious), but normal monitors it's a bit expensive. If you're serious about graphics/photography it's a must. Ink printing is possible, but you won't get the neon color. You'll get a darker shade.

    It all depends on the headset. The astro's use a mixamp which acts as a game/voice ratio adjustment and an external headset amp. (Meaning it acts as a headset booster so the full volume/range of the headset can be used). Most gaming headsets will sound sub-par for music. Since music is played in 2.1 the virtual surround sound (if your headset supports it) won't work. Even the astros will sound subpar since basic use was not what they were designed for. If you want good quality sound, invest into some high quality headphones designed for music (audio-technica's/able-planet)

    Beats by Dre are some of the worst headphones on the market. It's nothing but marketing. They're CHEAP CHEAP plastic, non circum-aural (they're ON ear), non-noise-cancelling, and most of all the sound quality is lousy. It's jammed with premium words. Monster-cabling makes NO difference. The only redeemable part of it is having a built in headset amp, but even then you have to use batteries. If you want GOOD headphones invest into some higher end Able-Planet's: http://www.ableplanet.com/catalog/product_info.php?manufacturers_id=10&products_id=38 You can't match the sound quality.

    stopped reading there. $350? no way Seriously ATH M50s, AKG K701, or even Sennheiser HD600 offer better quality than beats. But then again, I have beats solos and I am fine with them. Unless you're high-end audiophile you won't recognize a huge change in sound. The beats are comfortable as fuck and they have an inline mic which lets you change songs. That and the desing is why I like them kk. Although if you dont care about iPod controls and design, go with others.

    NZXT phantom is a spectacular case. :wub: The Lanboy Air is a very cool design, HOWEVER, that thing will suck more dust than a vacuum. The Antec 1200 is just a waste of case lol. You don't need to have that insane amount of room. That thing is meant to house 3-4 video cards, dual 120 radiators + resovoire + pump for liquid cooling. The NZXT phantom is on sale for $109.99 right now. I'd say save yourself the money. The 1200 just is unnecessary for what you need.

    If you're gonna be video encoding you're gonna want a better than average machine. Anything with an i7-700-series (not 640 or anything like that) 4GB DDR3 Ram or more Look for nvidia 460M or better, or ATI-wise anything above the 5300 series.

    Ever since I unwrapped my 360 I've been researching this, and I know there has to be a way to do this. I know it is completely possible to hook up your HPA2 to your xbox 360(without using the astro mixamp) and use true 5.1 surround sound not simulated like the astro mixamp gives you. This means all 8 drivers in the headset are functional not just 4. I found this page http://www.competitivegamingaudio.com/CGAHPA2.htm that sells a package, but I don't need the headset with it and it's out of stock, anyways. This is the "surround sound audio decoder" that I need http://www.competitivegamingaudio.com/CGADecoder.htm but it's out of stock once again.

    Ok, 1.) You need a DSS sound box. (Acts as an amplifier and sound processor) : http://www.turtlebeach.com/products/audio-processors/ear-force-dss.aspx 2.) You need an Astro 4 pole 3.5mm Y cable (gives you voice chat) : http://www.astrogaming.com/products/detail/71/Y-Adaptor/ 3.) You also need a mixamp (steel series makes a solid one) : http://steelseries.com/us/products/consoles/steelseries-spectrum-audio-mixer-xb That's a very expensive route btw. You're better off buying a dedicated 360 headset.

    for a full hand grip, i'd probably say the deathadder. The R.A.T. 7 is very cool, but it's very heavy even without weights. If you like featherweight gliding I'd stay away from both. Personally I don't like heavy mice. I use a Razer Salmosa currently. SUPER lightweight so your hand doesn't get tired when doing a ton of FPS. And I'm not really sure. Just an accumulation of working on computers and my love for technology.

    Gmail chat stopped working for me. I get this error message: "Unable to reach Gmail. Please check your internet connection or company's network settings" I'm not sure if you're familiar with the chat. But it's not my firewall nor my antivirus (I turned them both off and refreshed the page) and it's not my ISP because another computer running through a router has no problem with it. The computer that is having problems with it is running XP and the computer that does not have problems is running Vista. I tried going through Google's "helpful" troubleshooting procedure but it didn't alleviate my problem.

    I did some reading into it. It seems to be an issue on Google's side of things. Most theories out there keep trying to say that it's due to the DNS being distributed from the host computer vs. the router itself (which is bullshit since most people don't know how to network out of a paper-bag). In the mean time, the server is working, but your connection to Google is off/on. What you can do is either A.) Forward all incoming Gmail to your secondary email B.) Setup a POP3 connection to outlook for Gmail. That way you can get your mail from the server. Regarding the GChat, try using a non-proprietary chat client (trillian, Digsby, pidgin, etc) and logging in that way. If you can't get in then that means the problem is on Google's side of things--in which case you just have to wait it out.

The Bermuda triangle is just an area with underwater seismic activity and a polar imbalance (best way I can describe it). Meaning the polarity of the area isn't definite since it's right near the equator. Bigfoot =/= Real. However genetic anomalies are still a possibility in terms of a more advanced primate in an unnatural setting. Lockness Monster is potentially real. Honestly it wouldn't be that surprising if a 40ft animal lived in a 23 x 1 mile radius lake that's like 480ft deep (if I remember right). Quantum Theory is just the term given to quantum studies. Aliens in a broad sense are out there. Not the little green men we see. The odds life somewhere else in the universe is humanoid is astronomical. Their form would be dependent on the primordial soup levels of evolution on a said planet. If they're traveling around the universe in a ship, their bodies would have to dramatically differ from ours to withstand interstellar travel conditions. UNLESS they have a stasis technology with allows them to have a controlled particle movement field that is independent from the outside. (*cough* nerd rant over*) A sky-serpent. What like a dragon? If there was a dragon flying around in the atmosphere somewhere control towers would've known about EASILY within a few hours of it being up. Sky Stones? Probably from the Sky-serpent taking a shit. Wormholes, gaps in space time continuum. In theory it's possible, but time is relative. Hard to say how it would exactly happen. The chalk is used to almost grip the cue ball. When you chalk up the stick with make more solid contact. I have not a clue what those are haha. The Bible is a load of Fail. BC and DC refer to a persons death. Not a measurement of years.

It's one of the best out there, not sure why you hate it :p . I use that + KMplayer for absolutely everything video related. I'm guessing you downloaded an DIVX avi file. I believe you didn't convert it correctly. You chose the wrong video format initially to change to iPod or potentially the file got corrupted (since the meta-info didn't come up in the file properties). Make sure you're converting from an .avi / .divx for movies. [QUOTE=Nachoaddict wrote: Yo iMatt. Just checking in on the gmail chat thing.

    Heat describes temperature. Hot is a description of high temperatures. Heat = Temperature Hot = High Amounts of Heat Heat =/= Hot Simply because there is heat does not mean it is hot. Hotness is relative based on what the context is.

    All depends on the CPU cooler you're using. High-end: Idle in the 20-30's Load (High 40's- low 50's) Mid-Range: Idle in 30-40's load (55-mid 60's) Stock: Idle in 50's load (High 60's - Mid 70's) Desktops I try to keep in AT LEAST the mid-range otherwise once you start getting into the 80's/90's you're playing with fire. If you don't have arctic silver on there you could reach failsafe.

My uncle has the second one, and that think looks so nice. The flat black is smooth and not..well, the paint job is great. The interior of the case is black, bottom mounted PSU, and has good airflow. He runs like 30~35 on STOCK CPU cooler, and no additional fans on idle.

    I would opt the HAF. That actually has cable management holes. May not be as good looking, but functionality wise it's definitely better (not to mention space wise)

    Mmkay, this problem has been bugging me for a while and it is most likely not a solvable problem, nor one entertaining for you to solve but... My port is closed and won't open. Specifically port 25565 (I'm sure you can guess why I want this open, hehe...). I have a Netgear WNR1000v2 (Little outdated, I know... but what can I do. It's the family router. ;P). My ISP is Windstream (I hate them so much... =w=;;...). My firewall is Microsoft Security Essentials + Built-In Windows 7 Firewall. I have already: ~Port-Forwarded the port on both UDP and TCP in the router settings. (Of course with this I've already set up a static IP, all that jazz...) ~Added exceptions for both ingoing and outgoing connections for both UDP and TCP for port 25565 in the Windows 7 Firewall. (Allowing "All Computers" to connect, etc.) ~Added exceptions for the Minecraft_Server.exe for both ingoing and outgoing. Now the only thing I think could be wrong is that when I set up my static IP I only put down one DNS Server and it was the default one I found in ipconfig. It's probably not the one's our ISP actually routes us through but I don't feel like calling them since they make me John Madden. Would that be an issue? All my server.properties settings are correct with the server-ip being blank, port number being 25565, etc. It's just that when I test whether the port is open or not on http://www.yougetsignal.com/tools/open-ports/ it keeps saying it's closed, and friends can't connect to the server so...

    Networking =/= for beginners. If you don't know exactly what you're doing just get a simple port forwarding exe like this one: http://www.simpleportforwarding.com/download that will automatically change things for you. You can't screw it up lol. Keep in mind you don't HAVE to use 25565 for minecraft. That's just a default port. Mostly likely you have your static IP going through that port instead of the server going through the port. Just use the program and set the values to w/e you want. Should work fine.

    Once you update firmware you'll lose the themes if I remember correctly. But it should still keep application data. (The update should just be an optional download through Apple, check the support section) regarding the jailbreak: http://tinyurl.com/62ezgsc

    When I jailbroke my iPod I had the MakeItMine app from cydia running, and it had my name inthe top lefthand corner. When I updated from iOS 4.0 --> 4.1, I lost jailbreak, Cydia, but it still had my name in the corner. So I think updating just gets rid of somethings, I don't know.

    This. I updated and restored my iphone from 3.1.2 to 3.1.3, and I had to rejailbreak it all over again. However, beFORE i updated it, I had SB settings--this being, I enabled the battery percentage, cause it isnt available on the iPhone 2g. However, when I finished jailbreaking and unlocking the phone, I did not have Installous or other games that I downloaded; but I still had the battery percentage up there. And as welll as game data. When I downloaded Fruit Ninja, it still had all my unlocked items, as well as the high scores

    k, so with most of my earphones, i can only hear out of one of the earbuds (i have perfect hearing though). Is there anyway i can fix this problem besides buying new earphones?

    Krispy Kreme;58362]When do you think iOS 4.2.1 untethered jailbreak is coming out ? D: Will you ever buy an apple product ?[/QUOTE] No clue. Not sure why an untethered jailbreak is required. Plugging in a USB is hardly a hassle. Honestly I'm not sure why they would bother releasing one for the iPhone 4 if the iPhone 5 is on it's way in the summer. Probably not. The iPad is a cool novelty item. The iPhone still doesn't meet my criteria in terms of functionality (not to mention I hate the iPhone 4 form factor, so f-ing uncomfortable to hold). The iPod touch is useless when you have a smart-phone which syncs over 3G to access your entire home library. (also video). The rest of the iPods are pretty much useless. The iMac desktop is stupidly overpriced. The screen itself is good, but everything else is lackluster. You're putting in the max of an core i5 with lower end graphics cards. Mac OSX isn't intensive, but man it's a waste in terms of price-per-power. The macbook pro line, nice machines, but INSANELY overpriced. Like holy fuck so. I can't justify paying $500 for a laptop that does nothing more than make me a hipster. (Did I mention you need an adapter for fucking everything) Like on top of the insane premiums, you need to pay $20-$30 a cable if you want to run external monitors. Not to mention a HUGE lacking of USB ports.) Just for reference. I paid $1600 for my Dell Studio XPS 16 (2) Years ago. Core 2 Duo 2.67Ghz 4GB DDR3 1066 500 GB HDD 3670 ATI HD 512mb GFX-card 16" 100% Adobe RGB accurate screen. 2 USB, 1 USB/e-Sata (All native imports) (1) VGA (2) Display Port (3) HDMI 5.1 sound card. (Dual headphone jacks and a mic) all of which can be toggled. SD/MMS/Pro Duo Card reader 1394 Firewire port. Slot loading Drive. You can't physically get all of those features on a macbook pro. I use almost EVERY single one of them. Asides having to put on some new thermal paste and my dvd drive failing, this thing has performed like a champ. Even now this thing still has value over a new macbook pro. I have to pay $1600+ to get roughly the same stats except an updated processor and new-ish GPU. Not to mention 90$ in flipping adapters. Seriously if I want a mac, I will build one myself. Not that difficult to rig a hackintosh. [QUOTE=Fresh;58386]True. Don't buy cheap electronics. They will break.

[QUOTE=SJ wrote: how can i get rid of this buzzing/static noise coming from my satellites? i have the logitech z2300s...do you think its just the speakers or the brand itself?
    Static is generally from a few things. 1.) Electronic interference. - Make sure they have a dedicated outlet plug or on the surge protector - Potentially Run them on a different circuit if your room supports it. 2.) Speaker Proximity - The z-2300's is a 2.1 system so make sure they have about 2 feet in between them - If there's any magnetized electronics (Guitar amps, HDD arrays etc.) can also cause distortion 3.) Loose wires. - Make sure your terminals are secure. 4.) Could also be how your equalizer is set. - Check under playback device settings that you don't have bass boost or anything on.

    You can just pirate snow leopard. They don't have security on the install. Btw, you can even buy it authentically. It's literally only $30.00. When you update it will update everything and not touch your data.

    Astro Headset + mixamp. That should more than suffice. And right on your $250 budget. or Steel Series Siberia v2 + whatever audio adapter you want. for $140 max. or Psyko 5.1 Headset: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16826705001

[QUOTE=exclusive wrote: why do u hate on beats headphones so much?
    I hate on Beats SOLO. The studios are pretty nice, but paying anything more than $150 for them is a downright sin. The build quality is better on the studios, but it's still just a thin metal slider for reinforcement with plastic housing. The beats SOLO are built of stuff that's made to break lol. I've known countless people who will attest. If you have any bit of a big head, they feel like they're going to snap in half every time you put them on. The beats are for a particular type of person. People who don't know bass. The screaming vast majority of people will say in every headphone review that there isn't enough bass. The thing is that most people don't recognize that every song isn't meant to have so much bass it can induce a migraine. The bass isn't clean. It's just LOUD. It's kind of like cheap car-woofers. People just chuck a box in and just let it chill in the trunk. It doesn't sound good, it's just loud. Do the beats sound relatively good? Yes. But for $150+ price point you're paying PURELY for the Beats branding/style and SUPERBASS. Nothing wrong paying for looks, but just recognize the premium that comes with that. If you're kinda like me where you'd rather just go for RAW specs vs. stylings just go snag a pair of Sony MDR's http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16826159203 or Audio technica's http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16826402012 They both sound better than the beats, but definitely don't look as pretty. However if you like the styling of the beats, for $130 I say go for it.

    These aren't easy fixes. Those kind of errors are generated by InstallShield usually do to a bad windows file. (things can corrupt, just how it goes with computers) So fixing.... Option #1.) http://support.microsoft.com/kb/310747 using the: sfc.exe (system file checker) This will allow you to go in and check particular files to see if they're operating stock as what's mandated by windows. Do this first on the installation file. Then do it on the windows directory Option #2.) Windows Repair installation Pop in the windows XP cd you installed with and boot into it. Then follow it till you get to installation options. Choose Repair on the disk and let it run. That'll reinstall the STOCK files that originally were on XP (without modifying service packs) Option #3.) Re-format If both don't work above this is a last resort option. Sometimes your hdd can do a Bad Format. I've had it happen before. Even with only certain programs. This would require you fully reformatting the hdd with an ACTUAL NTFS format. NOT A QUICK FORMAT. Then reinstall windows. It's a pain, but sometimes it's the only solution. Hope that helps.

    If you had to choose i'd prolly opt the S2. The next iPhone is gonna be released this summer so use getting an iPhone 4. If the iPhone 5 comes out it's probably going to kick ass because it's apple tech. In the mean time just get the S2

    Wrong. In terms of girls, you just have to be patient. I swore off women awhile back after some rough incidents that left me pretty hurt.

    straight from microsoft support: "The "non-commercial use" text is based on the Microsoft Software License Terms for Office Home and Student 2010 or 2007 products.

    Ok then that means the problem lies in the C++ redistributable packages. Make sure you have the latest versions of them. This one being critical: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?familyid=766a6af7-ec73-40ff-b072-9112bab119c2&displaylang=en You can google if you need to, but make sure you have The 2008 C++ redistributables.

    When hard drives say they have a certain amount of storage space, they actually have a bit less. The space that you can't use is there for drivers and formatting stuff, but that shouldn't take up 25 gigabytes. XD

    Let me break it down: 60GB Advertised. Since no HDD can be exactly a GB amount that brings you down to 55GB. 55GB - 20GB of games = 35GB Remember the Operating system itself + all patches and upgrades = Roughly 3-5GB 35GB - 5GB = 30GB Remember to add in any DLC you have for games. Not to mention the save files of those games which are a few hundred MB per file. There's a lot of space that can easily be taken up by DLC. Seriously check that out first. Regarding AVG and windows security. The windows security automatically kicks on after you install an ANTI-VIRUS. If you want to disable it however, do the following: Start > Control Panel > System and Security > Action Center > Change User Account Control (UAC) settings > Drop the bar all the way to the bottom. ./done

    Best screen recorder for video games? I use Fraps and it's really great but it simply doesn't allow me to use multiple cores to record with, only letting me record at an annoyingly low fps or smaller resolution (which is fine but if that was fixed it'd be perfect). Well, perfect aside from the fact that it segments a recording into 3.9 GB "parts," meaning I have to piece them together in external video editing software to spit out a whole video, which gives issues with the software spitting out a video with lower quality because of how it processes it beyond just putting all the videos into one larger one. (Well, Windows Live Movie Maker refuses to make anything other than .wmv... Recommendation on video software that will preserve the quality would be appreciated too... I'm thinking Sony Vegas, but is there anything better for this particular job?) I loved how PlayClaw allowed the use of multiple cores, letting me record at max FPS and resolution when I use enough cores, but it bugs out and once it's done recording spits out an unreadable .avi file. ("corrupted/incomplete") So it's out the window. Plus, whenever my League of Legends game wants to close itself out (happens on Fraps too), it freezes up and closes out by being unresponsive. Not sure if it'd affect my game results but it only happens when Fraps/PlayClaw are recording when it closes. Camstudio doesn't work on Win7 x64 OS which is a shame since I loved it so much on my last computer. Camtasia is terrible and I'm never touching it again, haha. I heard Sony Vegas also screen captures? Would it also be a viable way for me to record my games? While full-screen compatibility isn't required since I use windowed-mode + "shiftwindow," it'd be nice. And if Vegas can record AND publish movies, it'd be a great solution. Fraps can only record game windows which doesn't let me record my regular desktop or anything similar. So being able to do that would be nice too. Best screen recorder (best quality with mic support) and best video editing software to export it with?

I use Fraps and it's really great but it simply doesn't allow me to use multiple cores to record with, only letting me record at an annoyingly low fps or smaller resolution (which is fine but if that was fixed it'd be perfect). Well, perfect aside from the fact that it segments a recording into 3.9 GB "parts," meaning I have to piece them together in external video editing software to spit out a whole video, which gives issues with the software spitting out a video with lower quality because of how it processes it beyond just putting all the videos into one larger one. (Well, Windows Live Movie Maker refuses to make anything other than .wmv... Recommendation on video software that will preserve the quality would be appreciated too... I'm thinking Sony Vegas, but is there anything better for this particular job?) I loved how PlayClaw allowed the use of multiple cores, letting me record at max FPS and resolution when I use enough cores, but it bugs out and once it's done recording spits out an unreadable .avi file. ("corrupted/incomplete") So it's out the window. Plus, whenever my League of Legends game wants to close itself out (happens on Fraps too), it freezes up and closes out by being unresponsive. Not sure if it'd affect my game results but it only happens when Fraps/PlayClaw are recording when it closes. Camstudio doesn't work on Win7 x64 OS which is a shame since I loved it so much on my last computer. Camtasia is terrible and I'm never touching it again, haha. I heard Sony Vegas also screen captures? Would it also be a viable way for me to record my games? While full-screen compatibility isn't required since I use windowed-mode + "shiftwindow," it'd be nice. And if Vegas can record AND publish movies, it'd be a great solution. Fraps can only record game windows which doesn't let me record my regular desktop or anything similar. So being able to do that would be nice too.

    Use the newest version of FRAPS. It has dual core support and it's very very efficient if you want loseless recording

    Hey iMatt, Recently I've noticed that the youtube app on my ipod touch 2nd gen (3.1.1 firmware jailbroken) has been taking a lot longer to load videos than usual. Usually it takes about 5-15 seconds to load any video but now it's taking 1-3 minutes. Also, I have 3 "bars" of wifi when this happens and sometimes the videos do not load at all which result in a "Could not load movie" error message. It just seems like they get "stuck" at the loading window between when you click on a video and when you watch it. Yknow that grey background where it says "Youtube"? Maybe I should start earlier. Today, almost nothing that was connected to the internet was working. My mail app would not update mail (it would get stuck on the loading screen), safari would get stuck loading websites and youtube was the same deal only sometimes it would not even load my subscriptions page saying "Could not connect to Youtube". Facebook however loaded normally. MXtube similarly would not load videos when I tried to search them. I tried rebooting, rebooting into safe mode and then rebooting into regular, turning off wifi and rebooting, respringing, restarting my router, (yeah you get the idea) for the past two hours. Eventually the mail app gave me an error message like, "Could not connect to mail-blahblah" And it started working again. Then safari started to work again and youtube (though it's still super slow/malfunctioning) allowed me to watch a few videos though the loading was painfully slow. I was just wondering if you had any advice you could give on this problem >< Thanks, -Nacho

    For some reason, ONLY on Google Chrome, I can't watch videos on youtube. Right-clicking the box says "Movie not loaded..." Embed videos, such as videos that get posted on Facebook, I can watch just fine. But watching it directly off the site gives me the above error. I've reinstalled Flash Player (which is just reinstalling Chrome), I've reinstalled Java for Chrome, and I've restarted my computer. Youtube works fine in other browsers, just Chrome that has issues. This started happening when I accidentally bumped the power button mid-game of League of Legends. It didn't hard-shut down, but it closed out of everything and did everything it would normally do when you shut down a computer.

    This is a major problem I have now. I installed windows 7 on my pc. I did a clean install. I have already once used windows 7 on the same pc so I know its compatible. After the installation and everything the windows logo comes up and then the monitor says "No Signal" the cpu keeps working but monitor keeps saying no signal. I tried to run it in safe mode, it says I need to restart and run it normally in order for the installation to finish. How do I solve this? everything is connected perfectly. I have searched quite a lot about this, but still nothing worked :/ EDIT: fix'd after 18 hours of working without sleep.

    Nevermind, I just reinstalled Chrome but I wiped my temp/cache after I uninstalled to prevent anything from happening again. I dunno what went wrong but it's fixed now, somehow.

The solution is very simple. If you use Adblock extension, disable the feature “Block ads inside Youtube Videos”. Or you can switch to Adblock plus which is a better option as it is less glitchy and more stable . If you fail to resolve the problem, try updating Java on your system . Clear your cache. This should fix the problem. iMatt: I think the only thing I would add would make sure you delete the Chrome registry entries in REGEDIT so you do a pure fresh install.

    1.) Sandy bridge has a TON of issues right now. There's been numerous boards that require bios updates and other tweaks to fix it. I'd rather go for reliability than TOP OF THE LINE. - You also don't need top of the line. For under $1,000 there's no point in getting anything more. 2.) YOU DON'T NEED IT. If you're gonna be running a stock 900 series i7 and not doing excessive overclocking there is absolutely no point. It's expensive, difficult to install, and won't do ANYTHING if you're not overclocking. On a budget system, this is not for overclocking. If you want that you're gonna have put in some more $$$$ 3.) Because there is no 520 GTX. There is a 550 though. 550 GTX runs at 951mhz on stock with 192 bit core. It's a downgrade from the 460 GTX. Why pay more for less? Higher numbers don't always mean better. Check out any benchmarks out there, the 460 GTX still beats out the 550 easily. 4.) You don't need a full tower. You're not running 2-3-4 SLI or Crossfire. Nor 4+ HDD's. There's no point in buying a giant chassis for basic components and a single video card. Did I mention if you want a good one it'll run you into the $120+ range. 5.) You're friend is an idiot.

    1) Sandy Bridge is just about built-in garphics into the CPU. IIRC, There's like..3 mobos out there that support Sandy Bridge, and theyre hella expensive. 2)Watercooling is overrated. If that shit leaks, youre fucked. Besides, watercooling requires multiple tubes, AND a radiator. With regular cooling, you only need one wire, and it looks more better. Get the Hyper 212+, its a CPU cooler. This gets you the most bang for your buck. 3)GTX520 doesnt exist. GTX570, 580..exists. 4)Full towers are fucking huge. I am not fucking kidding, theyre are so big, its like having a motherfucking oven on your desk. I have a Thermaltake V3 right now. Its a mid-tower case, but it stands at like 20 inches or someshit. Its still fucking huge. You dont want a ridiculously huge case oops, didnt mean to steal iMatt's swag here edit: IF youre willing to spend an extra 4 bucks, spend it on RAM the CAS LAtency timings are better, plus they look better :3 PNY has always been a reliable brand for me

    The latency is one cycle faster, however it doesn't specify the timings. Hard to buy when you don't know the rest of the info. The other issue is I always like to get ram (mushkin most of the time) with varied voltages. If you need to overclock/underclock ram for any reason it's a god send. If you want a CPU cooler, Scythe sleeve cooler. For $5.00 more than the 212+ this thing destroys heat: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835185142

    I'm assuming you have Sprint, since you want to get an Epic. Get the Epic. Also, HTC Sense is HTC's skin that they add to the Android OS. So if you want Sense, get an HTC device. Gingerbread is offically only on the Google Nexus S, and Nexus One.

    So I was playing DiRT 2 and my game kept crashing. My computer told me that it was a display problem so I figured I could go just update my drivers and everything would be cool. I went to the AMD site and downloaded what I thought were my drivers, now I can't remember if I have a 5850 or a 5750, I want to say it's 5850. Anyway I went there, downloaded some new drivers and the first time I attempted to install I got the BSOD. I restarted and attempted to install again, this time it said it was successful but after I restart and attempt to change the resolution to my "optimal" resolution it's not there to be chosen. Also on start up I get a window that says "There are no AMD drivers installed or they are not working properly. Please install the correct drivers." or something like that. This is getting annoying. :/ EDIT: Fixed it, like a boss.

    Swype is just an APK file (Android Package) so it can be installed pretty easily. A Gingerbread ROM however, takes a lot of work to develop, and considering Gingerbread is only on the Nexus devices, it's not built for other devices like the Epic (yet) so it will be VERY buggy.

    There's limits to ghosting. What you're thinking of is that PS/2 keyboards don't use up CPU bandwidth to run so it process more keys. Which is true, but even older keyboards there are limits on how many keys are pressed simultaneously and registered at the same time. It's up to maybe 8 keys max on old keys. You shouldn't more than that lol.

    I'm confused, if you're only using it for casual browsing and studying, why would you ever pay $700? My gaming computer I just bought cost $605 and it can run any game full settings. If you're just browsing and studying then you can get a good comp for like 300 or 400, one with better specs than that. Why were you considering the Mac Mini? @Krispy Kreme

    Seriously just throw down for a Madcatz TE stick. The SE is shit. You will not find a good arcade stick for less than $100. Sticks give you precision. People do play on pad and it works for some. However it's prone to input problems. Especially in move buffering. Vangief (star zangief pad player in SF screws up his inputs from time to time). There's no such thing as an out of box all platform stick. You have to mod/rewire stuff yourself if you want an all console stick.

    The puppy is a Labrador Retriever. Sex was discovered via the following method. I have stick. There is hole. Wonder if fit. TADAH. Getting a visa to the USA is considered one of the most difficult things on the known planet. It's expensive (around $115.00 USD per application + VAT tax for you). You'll need a sponsor (somebody here to vouche for your legitimacy). There is a lot of small aptitude tests you'll be required to take as well. Good luck lol. IQ is subjective. Each IQ test will say differently. Singing lessons. (Helps to have a naturally good voice, some people aren't meant to sing). Learning how to whistle really well helps with tone/pitch too. You don't grow taller. Unless your under 5ft you won't even be considered for limb enlargement devices (Literal brackets that get screwed directly into your legs and are extended slowly over the course of a few years). The american school system. Earliest to latest Pre-school (Tiny children) Kindergarten (5-6 yrs old) Elementary school (6 yrs +) - 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th Grades. Each being one year Middle School/Junior High - 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th Grades. Each being one year High-School - 9th grade (Freshman) - 10th Grade (Sophomore) - 11th Grade (Junior) - 12th Grade (Senior) College/(University as other countries refer to it) - 1st year (freshman) - 2nd year (sophomore) - 3rd year (junior) - 4th year (senior) Macs are affected by malware however it's significantly less than windows machines simply because most viruses are programmed to exploit windows since it has a significantly larger user base. You'd probably only make $4-5 on a $20 book if sold. Majority of the profits go to the publisher, a couple $$ goes to your agent, and the rest are banked back into printing expenses.

    Ubuntu would run fine, but it boils down to how dedicated you are to finding laptop drivers. In terms of modern functionality, keep in mind ubuntu doesn't have photoshop or new versions of word. Personally I'd just upgrade to windows 7 and dual boot with ubuntu. That way you're not committed one way or another.

    If your computer freezes the only thing you can do is force shutdown. A freeze refers to an instance that doesn't respond, but remains visually active. Literally the only way to get past a freeze is force shutdown.

Thoughs about Yun and Yang? Why is Fei Long tier S? is Dan actually "playable" now in SSFIV? PrinceXD[/QUOTE] Guile is still solid. He's the definition of the turtle character. He mainly got damage nerfs and can't build a shit ton of meter with sonic booms. Abel got damage nerfs and his cr. fierce has a smaller hitbox. His mixup game is still evil as hell, but he'll play 90% the same of what he was like in super. If I had to choose I'd probably go with guile. Abel has a lot of one frame links that are crucial to his offensive pressure. Dash kick > s. fierce takes some serious work. If you're not super hardcore you'll struggle with it. Yun is over-powered in the sense that he makes the rest of the cast seem awful. He's not broken. His super high damage combos require full super/ultra so it's not like he can get free 180 damage FADC ultra (sagat in vanilla) combos. What annoys me is that he can option select his target combo in poke battles which can lead to crazy damage if he has super. Those are the most deadly. His dive kicks aren't anything special, it's easy to jab him out of it if you know your spacing. The other huge annoyance is ex-dash punch being Safe on block. Which gives him a 50/50 mixup. If you block you're gonna get more yun pressure, command grab > combo, a throw, or tick throw. All I have to say is DO NOT GET KNOCKED DOWN. If you get knocked by down Yun you lose immediately. His corner pressure game is far better than rufus since he has fake-palm strikes. Yang is a solid pressure character who's more focused on resets using his dive kick as a juggle move and command dash to throw you off. He's not as much of a threat as Yun. Fei-long I don't think is S-tier. He's high end A tier. He's a very very good character, but his damage output isn't anything to write home about. He still has some tough matchups. I don't think he's S-tier from my experience. Dan was playable in super. Honestly, once you get knocked down by dan you can get owned. His 50/50 wake up game is brutal. He's better at poking now, that's really about it. Dan is good if you know how to use him ;) [QUOTE=shoeman6;112313]Do you know what happened to those pen spinning cursors?

    I need some help with the SAT. Basically I did not take SAT subject tests my Junior year, so i have an interesting dilema. I kind of only have the chance to take the SAT in october, november seems a bit late for me, but I also pretty much bombed the SAT the last time I took it, (my sat score has progressively declined since my freshmen year...) But I feel like it might be important to take the SAT subject tests, seeing as the further I get from having finished AP chemistry to worse off I might be in remembering what I learned. What should be a priority? Some schools I want to apply to require sat Subject tests, but they ARE reach schools anyways. Basically are the SAT subject tests worth it? What can I do to improve my SAT 1 scores? And is november too late to take the SAT again, because by that time I might have already applied for some schools... My ACT is a 31 and I plan on taking that again as well in september I thinkl. Some of the reach colleges I want to apply to require both though, and my SAT scores are really bad compared to my ACT scores. Freshman year I scored 680 -750 for my PSAT Sophmore year I scored 650-720 for my PSAT Junior year I got 560-680 on my SAT (1860) Pretty lousy. Also, >.> any tips on applying, or good schools around my level? I'm interested in Biology and sciences but also want a some choices when it comes to majors. Gpa of 3.87 A/B Student Shit, looking at requirements again most of my reach schools require sat 2 subject tests, so it loks like I'm cornered into taking math 2 and chemistry in october with sub par sat 1 scores... :| Which SAT 2 subject tests do you think I should take? Math 2 seems like a given, I could do chemistry or physics, or both, or do chemistry and writing and physics and writing, any three in October Then submit my ACT score along with SAT subject scores, does this seem wise? Also, seeing as my interest in manipulations is such a large part of my life / I dedicate quite a bit of time to learning new manipulations would it be appropriate to mention this in college apps as creating a better picture of my personality/ interests?

    I'm bored so i want to respond to this. In this regard, I HIGHLY disagree with Imatt. Like it or not, the top and even semi top/decent colleges will require good scores. I have worked at numerous fortune 500 companies, started numerous companies, have tons of extra curriculars, charitable connections, and top 94% on national standardized tests and I was unable to get into the top grad schools of my choice. In this day and age education matters, private schools matters, test score matters. While they are stupid, they are a simple "standard" test to which intelligence is measured. In all honesty, any big ten school will suit you just fine. Is that 3.87 gpa weighted or unweighted? If that includes weighted courses just stick to big ten schools. I can only imagine the GPAs these days. I pretty much blew off high school and had a 4.25 and i wasn't even top 10% haha sigh. but yeah big ten schools..illinois...purdue...michigan..wisconsin..and northwestern all offer good bang for buck for your performance area. I'd throw in a couple reach schools for fun but i say you should be able to get into one of those, get a decent education, and find employment. If that 3.87 is unweighted, you have a ton of EC, and you actually do better on your tests. you can venture elsewhere

I kind of only have the chance to take the SAT in october, november seems a bit late for me, but I also pretty much bombed the SAT the last time I took it, (my sat score has progressively declined since my freshmen year...) But I feel like it might be important to take the SAT subject tests, seeing as the further I get from having finished AP chemistry to worse off I might be in remembering what I learned. What should be a priority? Some schools I want to apply to require sat Subject tests, but they ARE reach schools anyways. Basically are the SAT subject tests worth it? What can I do to improve my SAT 1 scores? And is november too late to take the SAT again, because by that time I might have already applied for some schools... My ACT is a 31 and I plan on taking that again as well in september I thinkl. Some of the reach colleges I want to apply to require both though, and my SAT scores are really bad compared to my ACT scores. Freshman year I scored 680 -750 for my PSAT Sophmore year I scored 650-720 for my PSAT Junior year I got 560-680 on my SAT (1860) Pretty lousy. Also, >.> any tips on applying, or good schools around my level? I'm interested in Biology and sciences but also want a some choices when it comes to majors. Gpa of 3.87 A/B Student Shit, looking at requirements again most of my reach schools require sat 2 subject tests, so it loks like I'm cornered into taking math 2 and chemistry in october with sub par sat 1 scores... :| Which SAT 2 subject tests do you think I should take? Math 2 seems like a given, I could do chemistry or physics, or both, or do chemistry and writing and physics and writing, any three in October Then submit my ACT score along with SAT subject scores, does this seem wise? Also, seeing as my interest in manipulations is such a large part of my life / I dedicate quite a bit of time to learning new manipulations would it be appropriate to mention this in college apps as creating a better picture of my personality/ interests?

    Paypal is basically a masking service. Instead of your personal information being given to companies, they're given a paypal addressed which funds can be withdrawn from. In order to put funds onto a paypal, 1.) you need to buy a pre-paid paypal card (wal-greens or something) if you don't have a bank account or credit card. 2.) You can link a checking/savings bank account to withdraw from 3.) Link a credit card.

    I bought a prepaid credit card, theres no money left inside it. I used it to verify it. Theyll bill you 2 bucks, look in your purchase history online, and input the code in order to verify. Your account will be verified and your 2 bucks will be given back. However, this way, you cannot withdraw your money. Nor deposit

    Ahh okay, so i can make a paypal. But instead of linking it to a bank account / buying a prepaid card other people such as buyers can still send money into my account ? Sorta like a starting amount if you would say.

Something like the Apple of the headphone world. I wanna' know your opinion. Do you think there are better headphone brands?[/QUOTE] Beats and Bose don't sound bad. Saying that outright. Why they're not recommended by audiophiles is the price to performance ratio and they sound very colored. (colored means distinctive hardware EQ boosts that make certain sounds sound different than what they were originally produced to sound like). Beats and Bose specialize in "perceived premium" products. They sound decent, but they're marketed as the best. You can easily pay $120-$130 for ATH-m50's (audio technica) which produce far more accurate sound that simply sounds cleaner, less distorted, and without frequencies being hardwired recessed or boosted. You can get better performance out of cheaper headphones. That's the reason why most audiophiles scorn beats/bose. To answer the question, there are FAR FAR FAR better options than beats and bose will every hope to achieve sounding like. If you want ear-drum wrecking bass: Ultrasone 580/680/900 or ATH-ProMK2 (AT) Balanced: Roughly anything Denon/Seinheiser/Audiotechnica/Beyerdynamic/Grado Roughly anything audiophilish will sound better than beats/bose.

    Mechanical keyboards are made with the intention of being used through the PS/2 port, which stops the beeping when you hit too many keys at once. Basically, if you hit a bunch of keys, the computer will register all of them. Through USB you don't get that same connection. @iMatt if i buy a mech keyboard, will it still have that function if i use a ps/2 adapter to usb?

    @iMatt if i buy a mech keyboard, will it still have that function if i use a ps/2 adapter to usb?[/QUOTE] Actually the PS/2 adapter on the new mechanical boards is used for the anti-ghosting features. Since USB uses CPU power to actively channel info from the USB buses, the more keys you press at once, the more CPU power it'll take. To prevent that from overloading a system, a USB has a limited amount of lanes it can use in terms of data going to the CPU. The workaround is to actually use 2 usb's. You just get a USB adapter for the PS/2 port and things will be fine and dandy.

    You need to look closer. The 3GB GTX used by MSI is only a 128-bit interface card. Essentially all they did was take the 560 and slap on more memory. More memory doesn't mean better performance. However dropping how many pieces of information can be stored at once, but adding more memory is it's own oxymoron. It's similar to what they did a few years ago in the with the change from DDR2 to DDR3. Where they'd sell the same card, let's say a 8800GT. It'd come in tiered versions. DDR2, 64-bit interface and 128mb of ram, DDR2 128-bit 256mb ram, then DDR3 128-bit 512mb ram. The whole 1.5 vs the 3.0 doesn't make a difference. If you want to benchmark the differences there you'd be better off using a program that uses the GPU to decrypt DVD's. Gaming won't really help you tell the difference between memory differences of roughly the same card.

Start > Control Panel > System and Security > Windows Update . Inside you'll see a little box saying you XXX# of updates available. Click on the optional updates and disable the one for the soundcard. For whatever reason windows will automatically download install drivers for your computer at random. It's rather silly. All you do is un-check the box next to the sound drivers. If you're planning on upgrading vista to win7, I would highly recommend doing a fresh install. When you do the upgrade, it tends to bog down the system with a lot of repeat files, temp files, and a lot of old vista garbage. A side by side will show a fresh install of windows 7 performing better than an upgrade from vista to 7. .....but if you wish to go the upgrade route you won't have to worry about a lot of that. Windows 7 will completely wipe the registry after it transfers the proprietary files it needs to execute your already installed programs. However you won't have the same background/visual styles. In terms of the parts. The core i5 is fine. It's a nice mid-level processor. The motherboard I would change to a 1156 board (sandy-bridge) since that's going to future proof it a little bit. The 1155 boards are gonna be phased out by the beginning of next year. You can get a similar model to it, but just make sure you go 1156. Ram is fine The GPU is good, but it all depends on what type of 6870 you're getting. Some perform better than others. HDD is fine. Personally I try to steer away from 1TB boot drives, but if you do make sure it's a 7200RPM drive. 5400 will bottleneck your CPU/GPU performance. Cheaper/better power supply. On a low end system like this, there is no point in having a GOLD PLUS certified PSU. Especially for $94.

Socket = What type of motherboard a CPU uses.

Crossfire = Dual ATI graphics cards working in parallel SLI = Scale link interface, Dual Nvidia graphics cards working in parallel PCI-E x 1/x4 = Primarily used for sound cards and raid cards(separate hdd controller) North-bridge = Pipelines that transfer CPU/memory information South-bridge = PCI and HDD pipelines. Headers = Small pin connectors that hook up for front panel connectors. (Power button/reset/USB/E-sata, etc). Dual-channel DIMM slots: Uses memory in sets of (2). Triple-channel DIMM Slots: uses memory in sets of (3). RAM: CAS Latency = memory timings, how fast memory can be written/overwritten Frequency (Mhz) = how fast the memory speed itself runs and what speed a motherboard needs. DDR3-1600 = most common type for most motherboards currently Power supply: General Guidelines, Almost every PSU comes with a 20+4 motherboard power connector(just double check), 80PLUS bronze/silver/gold don't really mean anything in terms of reliability (only in power consumption). 500w is more than enough to run a full system build if you're not running a high end graphics card/CPU. if you're getting an i7 system with an ATI 6970 than you'd prolly get a 600-700w psu. If you're running dual 6970's in crossfire than you're probably gonna want to get a 750-800w PSU to make sure you have enough power on the 12v rail (primary power rail) to run them on full load. HDD: SSD = fast and will help unbottleneck high-end systems. Primarily used as boot-drives. No moving parts HDD = used more for storage drives, most come in 500GB + versions, and make sure it's not seagate and it runs at 7200RPM. Graphics: Core clock = the base frequency of the GPU (CPU of graphics).

Does the government care about people using illegal download stuff like youtube to mp3, limewire, etc? 4. Is the ATi Mobility Radeon 5730 any good? 5. Nvidia Geforce vs Ati Radeon?

    5730? Depends on what you're using it for. Laptops, perhaps, depending on which laptop. Desktops, not really lol. I have razer kabuto. Very simple, doesn't do much. Just get the cheaper one imo unless you're a really hardcore gamer and you can feel the split second differences in both the pads it really matters to you. Otherwise if you're just a casual gamer like me, just get whichever is cheaper

    IMO, Tablets are not going to be as good as laptops anytime soon. Just get yourself a lighter laptop with i5, a decent Graphics Card and you'll be set.

    ^can you stop trolling cuz this aint spammers bin anyway, what do you think about Asus transformer prime? I'm debating whether to get that or macbook air...... too poor to get both lol and im planning on getting nexus prime...so maybe itd be more beneficial to get the transformer? and if i get macbook air, maybe its better to get iphone 4s? lol so there will be some unity. i feel like that will matter a lot more in the near future with all this cloud shiz

    I want a new laptop, but dont have much experience with this. I dont want to play games with it, i will use it for browsing the internet, playing music and DVDs, programming a bit and so on, but it should also allow me to work with music sequencers. I don have that much money, so it should be as cheap as possible. How much will i have to pay? Can you recommend me anything? Thanks

    If you hadn't mentioned the part about sequencer programming, I would have said that a small netbook should be more than enough for your needs. Which sequencers do you intend to run, the ones from big DAWs like Reason, Logic, Ableton Live or smaller ones like trackers or other free/open source stuff?

  1410. presidentGPC
    Date: Sun, Dec 25 2011 19:03:34

    Rather smaller ones, I normally create simple stuff only. I used FL studio lately but I'm looking for an other one atm.

    I have my PS2 connected to my big screen "HD Ready" Toshiba from ~2001 with the component cables. Still images look as good as 480p gets, but as soon as there's some sort of movement occurring, pixelation occurs. It's as if it needs AA or something to smooth it out.

    No. Input and output are both progressive so there's no problem there.
