(Insert evil laughter) Interesting.... Good tip. Thanks!

I think I have figured out how to put the connector in just right for it to see it as a "Generic Non-Plug and Play Monitor." Sorry, the first time I saw it I misread it - it actually says Non-Plug and Play. I stick it in with the left side subtly forward, and then when I see the higher res I...

Well, I wanted to get a DVI-to-HDMI converter anyway. I figure, if it works at 1920x1200 over DVI/HDMI, great. If not, I'll be happy with 1680x1050. I figure 1920x1200 would be almost ridiculously small on here anyway, I'd probably have to turn the DPI up to see anything. 1680x1050 seems to be...

Hmm. Good point. So I re-plugged the monitor in, and for some reason it's not seeing it as the SE198WFP that it is, rather as a regular plug and play monitor. Not only can it display at 1280x1024, it can also sync to a (stretched) 1920x1080. I tried to put it at 1920x1200 to even out the...

So for the past couple days I've plugged my SE198WFP monitor into the VGA port on my laptop, and because my wireless keyboard is "Unifying" (I can't believe it actually works...) I have it synced to the receiver that's plugged into my laptop as well. Then I close my laptop and shove it behind...

This is most definitely not my area of expertise, but I'd venture to say that SFP+ is backwards compatible. Seems to me like it'll just run at the slower speed, like using a 10BASE1000 card and cable to talk to a 10BASE100 card. What is the policy on returns for HP? I'd say try it, and if it...

All of it. Getting hosed, then bought out by new guys... the eventual deterioration into purely "What drive do I buy?" threads, as Chewy said....

Huh. A fate worse than death, so it seems.

So I got my first taste of a 1080p display today. Dad let me borrow his monitor (for the computer that he NEVER uses) for a little while today. I am so jealous, but then, my poor little Intel HD can't push anything much more intense than Quake 3 (and probably not even that) at 1080p. I did...

I was reading some old threads, and I saw Santilli mention that he "love[s] most of the people in storage review." This was in the thread "Is this forum going to last?" from 1-30-2002. What exactly is (or was) this Storage Review? Is it still around? Can anyone scrounge together some Wayback...

You can re-enable the start screen - not that you'd want to, but it's there - by going to Taskbar properties, and under the Start Menu tab unchecking the option "Use the Start menu instead of the Start screen". Presumably on touch devices the Start screen stays put. Yeah, funny thing about AVs...

That's true: I was, after all, around for the Xbox 360 and the rise of the iPhone/iPod touch, but I was a lot later to the party. I've always preferred PCs, they can do so much more. An Xbox can play games, and now they can run the "Universal Modern Apps." But a PC can do all of that and then...

I know it isn't meant to be a daily driver, and I said I wouldn't, but to test the upgrade capability I installed it over my copy of 8.1. It only occured after I installed it that I wouldn't be able to revert, but at this point I'm not all that worried. I'm having no issues to speak of, except...

Not terrible, I'll admit, and lag isn't too much of an issue. But when lag does strike, without fail I lag out of the game. Mom keeps telling me that my playing games online is whats driving our limit up. I went the entirety of last month without gaming online at all, just to prove a point. We...

Yargh, mateys! Finished this test, forgot about the day, so here I am now! I am Dirty Jack Rackham. Yeah. Okay. You're the pirate everyone else wants to throw in the ocean -- not to get rid of you, you understand; just to get rid of the smell. You have the good fortune of having a good name...

If you want to use GZDoom or jDoom instead, by all means. Just let me know. Much obliged for the hosting offer - if it turns out to need it, I'll take you up on it. I don't think that HughesNet would appreciate me having more than one connection open at once. Just let me know when you have time...

I don't know what I was expecting, but I do know that it wasn't what I got.

I'm going to be downloading the preview ISO tomorrow while I'm at school, and hope to god that it runs on my Sempron, because I don't really trust it on my laptop and I want to see how well it handles on real hardware. If I can't get it running on the Sempron, I guess I'll have to make do with...

I didn't finish. I was going to add this as an edit, but my five-minute limit is up, so... They shouldn't have to deal with this, especially at their ages, so I definitely agree with your decision to keep the details (very) vague. My advice is to do as the others have said - make the most of...

Oh my god. You have young children. I am literally crying right now.

I'm hoping to see that combination start menu/start screen. In what way will CMD be behaving more like XTerm? I thought it already did, to a certain extent. I hope the upgrade license is free, because even at really cheap I'll end up waiting a couple years at best to use it extensively. And I...

I use Steam for some F2P games (Wakfu recently got a Steam release, I'm going to see about figuring it out soon). I have Quake Live. It's obvious that it's based on the ioquake3 engine. Not that that's necessarily a bad thing: it makes it comfortable to run on an Intel HD chipset, after all. A...

Oh. Wow. Hope everyone gets through everything okay.

I can't edit after more than 5 minutes, otherwise I'd just edit to update. I'm starting to save up to buy an SSD and upgrade the RAM in this. I found another 4gb DDR3L stick on amazon for ~$40. Hoping I have a second DIMM slot, not just for dual channel but so I don't have to spend $30 more on...

Wow, that's tough. Hope you make it okay.

Kind of off topic, but why would VT-x/VT-d be disabled for the K series? Wouldn't that make it less attractive to end-users? Oh, wait, I get it. They think gamers (or other people who overclock) aren't all that interested in hypervisors. Well then why include it on the Celeron? Mine has it. I...

Looks pretty tasty. I think I have a very similar mouse to that - - but the shaping of the left side of yours is a little more pronounced. Same button to lock/unlock the scroll wheel into smooth scrolling (I always keep it on ratchet scrolling: I don't have anything set to smooth scrolling and...

I managed to get an untouched (REAL) copy of Win8.1 with Bing x64. So that's what I'm using now. It actually grabbed my key from the BIOS and activated this time! I'm legal again! My old Office '07 (I was hoping to use it for real Office compatibility, but nooooo...) license is apparently still...

Huh. Okay. Anyway, I'm not having anymore issues... knock on wood.

Same here. And I mostly fit the stereotype of the quiet, unassuming metalhead. Perhaps because I grew up on it, I can listen to country music without wanting to gouge my ears out with a rusty spoon. Some electronica legitimately sounds rather interesting, but I hate rap music with a passion...

Yeah, there's one device listed under that name, but then there's another device under it labelled "Intel Display Audio." Here, take a look.

Maybe? I don't have a CPU meter running, but I was trying to load three pages at once in Chrome at the time. The fact that it blue-screened is unacceptable, though. I haven't had any other issues, it hasn't skipped at all since I posted. Don't know how it could've fixed itself, but if it did I'm...

The drivers for my audio under Win7 have... issues, put lightly. Occasionally my audio will skip -- and I mean often enough for it to become annoying rather than jarring. I've already had it blue-screen on me once, the first time this one has ever blue-screened me and the second time to my...

That's what I was referring to. Instead of relying on the half-dead Win8/RT/Phone ecosystem, why not integrate with Android? This runtime proves it can be done, the greedy bastards just have to pay Google a hefty-enough sum for them to officially include it. You'd think it'd be less work to...

It'll show up that I have three clients active this month, I figured out how to install 7 x64 on here and I took the opportunity. Thank God for backward-compatible hardware.

That's very interesting. Perhaps now I can ditch my aging Galaxy Tab for Clash of Clans? :) This is the kind of app support MS should be baking into Windows. Instead of creating an entirely new ecosystem, why not run off a more mature and diverse ecosystem that already exists? I know that MS...

So, wait. Does that mean they're skipping the 800 series? ...Why, exactly?

Just installed Xubuntu on the laptop. Didn't register at first that F@H would see it as an entirely different machine now. Oh well. Could be worse. I'm keeping this short because I'm typing a 5-page paper for English. Due tomorrow. About halfway done. No procrastination.

Thanks for the tip! I'm not sure if it's folding with the GPU or not, I'll have to check. I'm shutting the GX270 down when I wake up to give it a break. Then, when I get home I turn it on again and let it run all night. Not sure if the laptop is folding with the (admittedly weak) GPU, I'll have...

Good find, Merc. Wish I had that when I reformatted. Then again, I wish M$ made its special OEM version separately available, but then how will they make you buy the recovery media from your OEM and/or pay $$$ for out of warranty repairs? I'm sure that the fiasco involving a reformat of 8.1...

Surprisingly, setting it up under Xubuntu was easier than it was under Windows. Hm. It even corrected my team 0 issue. Also, apparently, I was running an older version of the client on my laptop. Corrected.

Well, a Celeron N2830 w/ Intel HD GFX (not in GPU folding mode to boot) and Pentium 4 2.8 HT w/ Radeon 9550 blows that out of the water, no question! </s> Currently I am figuring out how to make it run under Xubuntu 24/7. Right now I'm installing the x86 debs. What do you mean by registering...

I've been folding consistently for the past couple days (also, looked at the network meter while it was running, it uses less data than browsing even, so I'll be setting up the GX270 to do it round the clock as soon as I get the time) and I'm about 18% through my first project. One thing: why am...

10GB/mo, after that they throttle us. Dad will get supremely pissed off if that happens, so like I said, I scheduled it to run from 2 to 6 AM (when it doesnt count against our limit, presumably they put that in place to allow people to update. apparently they're not as heartless as previously...

Figured out how to schedule it with task scheduler, that is, to start the client at 2:00 AM and stop it at 6:00 AM on weekdays and start it at 2:00 AM and stop it at 9:45AM (allowing for a buffer so it doesn't bleed into our data) on weekends. When I get home, I'll either figure out how to setup...

Huh. Thought my post didn't come through. That's weird.

I've decided to come back to folding as our internet situation is better than before. If I can figure out how to schedule it to run from 2-6 AM, I will. Otherwise I'll have to manually start and stop it, as we still have a limit on our internet. If I can schedule it, through the program or...

I'm going to re-join now that our internet situation isn't as uncertain. Jacob_Turner is me, because I was a dummy and used my real name instead of my username. Bleh. Deal with it. I'm going to start setting my phone alarm (on vibrate, under my pillow) for 2 am so I can get up and start the...

So in order to get Macrium Reflect Free to backup directly to my other (not connected to the internet, about 5 different kinds of nope with an unpatched sp0 Windows 7...) machine, over a null ethernet cable, I finally had to figure out how to mount a network location as a drive. Not as hard as I...
