Mystery Surrounds Cyber Missile That Crippled Iran's Nuclear Weapons Ambitions By Ed Barnes Published November 26, 2010 | FoxNews.com AP In the 20th century this would have been a job for James Bond. The mission: Infiltrate the highly advanced, securely guarded enemy headquarters where...

Hi I realize Microsoft writing software to stop virus' is sort of an oxymoron. That said, is their product as good, or better, then AVAST?

Hi Anyone have any suggestions for a lower priced laptop that would take a Vertex Turbo to work at full speed?

Hi I'm really sick of Adobe being 'the' player for web browsers. Even using Fedora, I need an Adobe plug for Flash, or Player stuff. To be honest, I would really like my computers to be Adobe free. I'm sick of the auto up dates, security threats, needing to download a download manager before...

Too funny not to share! Sometimes it DOES take a Rocket Scientist!! Scientists at NASA built a gun specifically to launch standard 4 pound dead chickens at the windshields of airliners, military jets and the space shuttle, all traveling at maximum velocity. The idea is to simulate the frequent...

Hi I just had a fun experience with W02007. I was screwing around installing a ram disk, and put the IE 8 cache folder on the Ram drive. As close as I can tell, WO uses that same folder for storing temp files. The drive filed up, and I was unable to save anything in WO. I had to go into the...

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822152245 Not bad for 109 dollars. Transfering large files getting around 60 MB/sec, with 40 being the lowside for some transfers. Nice to have a lot of room, and just plug in to the tray, no caddie for 30 bucks. I will say the caddies do a...

HI Trying to get a bunch of stuff from CD onto my phone. Any favorite programs to do this? Does NERO do it?

Cost was 89 plus 20 shipping. Add 44 dollars for 2 Gig 5300 ram, dual channel, add an old SSD, from Kingspec, and up and running. The Kingspec runs at 75 MB/sec in the Mark III vs. less then 50 MB/sec in the Cf-51 1.6 GHZ Penitum M. Overall, one of the better buys I've made. Great for under...

Hi I was wondering what traveling pros use for mileage log, income, etc. all the stuff you may not need next year for taxes? Is there any online solution that allows road access, with a server backup that isn't your own, so if your mobile phone, computer, whatever is stolen, you still have the...

Costco: Samsung 27" 300 bucks Samsung 23" 180.00 dollars Samsung 24" 200 dollars. That's a HUGE price cut, from 21.5" for 289.00. Looks like the anti-trust stuff, and the economy, not to mention TV's are finally forcing them to quit price fixing.

http://crystalmark.info/software/CrystalDiskMark/index-e.html Anyone used this? Opinions? Observations? Seems a new benchmark is needed for SSD's.

Hi I've managed to finally get a phone I can tether to a laptop. The connection is VERY slow, but, it works for mobile stuff, and, it's ten bucks a month, got to like that part. So, I was thinking I might get a little netbook, throw a SSD in it I happen to have laying around, and tether it to...

Anyone played with one of these? How do they compare to the 285-295? Card you've used?

DD had a real nice, Startech removeable drive setup last time I was down. I bought the Esata card, and the toaster. Esata card was defective. One of the ports didn't work, and, the toaster ran at USB speeds, not SATA. Newegg replaced the card free, and, I just threw the old one away, with their...

Recommendations? Zonet? Hi I've got the server going 24/7, so I was wondering how you setup a camera, and, what other hardware I would need to for instance, watch the door in my room, or my room. Also, perhaps a carport camera, since my car seems to be a popular target. Anyone set these up...

Hi I'm wondering if it's really worth the time, and effort to use a VM version of 2003 Server for my web browsing? With Nod 32, I've yet to have more then one or two trojans get in, and, figured those out, quick. Still, loosing this install would be a major pain, plenty of time, and a trip...

Hi I've been moving some data between hard drives. They are large, relatively slow SATA drives, and, I'm getting about 95-110 MB/sec file transfer rates, if I transfer one at a time. I recently tried 5 different file transfers at the same time, and, the transfer rates got REALLY low, like...

Hi Seems Cyberlink is trying to sell PowerDVD 10. Mainly with the 3D stuff. Since a couple other threads indicate prolonged exposure might diminish your brains ability to determine depth perception, I'm not really jumping on that part of the sales pitch. Anyone looked at it, or used it...

Hi I'm wondering what folks are using for silent fans? I've been using Vantec Stealths, but, some are wearing out, after all, it's only been 11 years.... Scythes any good? comments? After reading about the Silenx, please consider proven longevity in your comments...

Taking the advice of a few folks here, I bought an Intel Pro gigabyte card, connected that to the Beast, Gigabyte only ports, with a Crossover Cat 6 cable, and was getting 10 mb/sec throughput on data transfers???? First I tried a straight cat5 cable. Same result. Connected the Cat6 crossover...

Hi D What was that toaster, and what drives are you using? gs

I was looking at laptops and came across this system: Pretty amazing setup for the money. Heck, water cooling alone is about 500 dollars...

I can't get XP Pro, or 2003 to install on my new box. I'm currently running 5 different mem tests, and, that's actually running 65-80 percent of the processors, with nearly 90% of the ram.

Any quick way to tell if the SATA on a laptop is 2 or 3? Would be nice to get max throughput out of an SSD...

Hi I got a chance to look at a Virtual server setup that was REALLY cool. I'm just wondering why one would do it, and how? Power savings is the first and foremost... Thanks Greg Santilli

Power Supply blew. Seasonic 650, replaced with another one. Time to reconfigure. Drive down to David's. I now have a 'brick' of Vertex Turbos, 3 of em, that do max about 280mb/sec on the 9550SUX. SCSI data was backed up, and, the Gem 318 removed, along with 5 scsi drives. Stopped at...

Hi Has anyone used the new i7 laptops? Experiences? Opinions? Suggestions? Recommendations?

Have to post this. "Friend" sold a 1500 dollar DD computer setup for about 1000 bucks. "f" went psycho, and threatened to throw the monitor through the window. Just offered him 500 cash to for the computer, to never deal with him again. We'll see how this plays out.

Anyone tried this stuff? http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=4386904&CatId=4231

Hi I'm using my old box as a server. Problem is, I loaded 2003 Server on it, and, most of the free virus stuff, AVAST, and a few others don't work with it. Any suggestions?

HTPC upgrade: Considering the following: Here's what I've got so far: Intel Core i5 750 @ 2.67 ghz. 4,216 Passmark. That's about 8-9 times faster then my Athlon 3200+. I've noticed with this setup a number of programs take advantage of the massive amount of ram, so at least 4 GB of memory...

Doing some benchmarking of this beast. DVD Decrypter on the 940: 10:12 to rip a DVD. 1-2% of processor, 1.8 GB of Ram used. DVD Shrink to backup. 45% processor 15% memory 1.9 GB rate 42,152 kb/sec 3:15 minutes/sec

Hi Getting the bug. What motherboard would you suggest, considering I have a PCI-X raid card, actually two, and a scsi box I like for storage, and, what OS do you use, XP Pro? I didn't think it would support 4 cores, and 4 more virtual cores? Also, do these numbers reflect actual speed results...

Hi I've been trying to open a port in the current trial version of eset. No joy. Is this feature avaliable, and just not useable in the trial version? If not, any other suggestions for AV, that allows using Vuze?

Hi I just got a note from Vonage for 25 bucks, and a service agreement, 60 countries, and free local and long distance. Anyone using this? Comments, hidden costs? I've got Astound unlimited for US and it's due to double in price this month. Thanks GS

Hi Strange stuff here. On my prior install of XP PRO, I used a HIS 4670 video card. http://www.hisdigital.com/un/product2-448.shtml The drivers support HDMI, and, it will in fact output to the TV's rather cheezy speakers through that HDMI connection. I'm using a HDMI cable to connect the TV...

Hi I'm looking at moving up to a TV as my main monitor from the 2233 Samsung. I'm finding the 32" TV's are much bigger then the monitors, appear to be better quality, and Costco has em. Is 37 or 40" too much for a desktop? Thanks GS
