Was I ? Seems there have been quite a few since my past v8sit.

have not seen that, but I saw Black Panther (awesome) yesterday, and the last Maze Runner installment (so-so)

Coco is good

I liked Wonder Woman a lot. Sorry for asking but, your mention of Merc makes me really wonder. a search for his posts .....

In the City I am registered here in my country, one can watch 2 movies a week (on a Monday or a Tuesday) for free. Senior citizen (>60 YO) privilege. I watched "Wonder" and "Coco" yesterday and thoroughly enjoyed both of them.

for camera stuff, I read "theonlinephotographer.com" blog. just last week, he had an article saying Sony and/or Fuji still have the old pentax body which is useless above iso800 for now, the camera I use (not regularly) is an entry-level Panasonic Lumix which falls under this thread's topic

I remember SR. Wasn't logging in very often and lost it when most of you left. Don't remember how, but was glad to find SF after a while. Learned a lot about PCs from this forum. It was a long time Am not too wiggly on my PC hardware now. Last processor upgrade was 4 years (I think) ago...

I was looking for the "like" button

As chapter 2 of my friend's computer woes... Since I was away, I asked his daughter to DL Win10 so I could upgrade his Win7 She SMSs me. How does she recover her files. Seems the download wiped her files from the external drive she downloaded it to. I hope someone has encountered this and made...

Wow, these are ideas, I should have checked right away. 1. Processor heatsinking 2. Yes, if the VRM is iffy, that could explain the different reactions to the assorted PSUs.

Thanks, SD. I've convinced the owner to buy a new PC. It looks like too much trouble to pinpoint the source. He might still shell out for a 2nd hand G31 mobo since these are still available in our market. Then it will be our luck to find out the processor is the cause. Glad to be back on the...

With the old PSU, the machine boots repeatedly (4X at least) before being able to enter OS, whether Windows or the Ubuntu CD With my old Seasonic PSU, the machine boots perfectly and enters OS effortlessly, but after a while, video blanking occurs. With the new Seasonic PSU, the machine boots...

Found a Ubuntu disk and am doing long term (hopefully dig up more symptoms) testing using 3 diff PSUs.

ah, thanks. 63 year old newbie here. =)

how would playing around with the linux live CD bring out the hardware problems?

Sorry, I don't have linux, too complicated for me. =) But I might have an old installer around. The name escapes me now but it was freely distributed a few years back. Would that work? It won't affect the data on the HDDs? It's a concern because it's his livelihood.

Sorry, I don't have linux, too complicated for me. =)

Yes, we blew off the dust of the years from the machine. There are no cards to reseat. The video is built in. Plus, the RAM is essentially newly installed. (I will retest it later) And the symptoms change as the PSU is changed. Thing is, the old PSU (which I expect to be most problematic) is...

Hello, hoping there's a quick explanation for what's happening I built a PC 9 years ago for a friend Gigabyte G31 chipset based motherboard core 2duo E4500 Built in video sharing 9Mb memory (per BIOS) 2x1Gb DDR2 memory No Name (supposedly tru-rated) PSU Initially, I installed 1 Samsung 1Tb HDD...

the waist loss is what I can call miraculous. Of course, there may be objections to the term, but I think it really is a great achievement. I am 5'5" and have had a 34" waist since 15 years ago, maybe longer.

Not a hundred I'm almost sure. My father expired when he was 64. I am hoping to exceed that and reach at least 69 (hoping that the wife reaches 71) when I will have been married for 50 years. Quite a long way off. Maybe with some exercise, I'll get there.

Alive is good. Have been taking meds to control sugar levels and blood pressure since 2000. Turned 60 last month. Of course, there are other things and circumstances which make it worth while. The wife, the kids (all grown up but still fun to be with every now and then) the grand-son, and...

I liked "The Book Thief". I read a lot of nitpicking on IMDB about technicals, but those didn't matter much to me. Enjoyed...

wow!

Thanks for the concern, guys. But I'm good. The killer typhoon passed around 00 kms south of where I live. Just so happened I had to initialize my kobo-glo and register from my home and my internet there doesn't work. So I did it from the shop. and the internet was slow. It took me an hour to...

hello, good morning. i am posting from a coin-operated PC and all the kids here are playing some sort of shoot up game with "Fire in the Hole" being shouted out every now and then. the new year celebration was quick. the fireworks audibly went down only 25 minutes after midnight. When I was...

I, too, liked this movie. Have recommended it to others. They have watched it with me, and almost all agree it is wonderful. Uh, OK, the ending is somewhat a given. The fight scenes are great.

Maybe because my mother used to play the piano, I like listening to Piano Music. I dream of coming over (to your side of the ocean) and listening to George Winston play, live.

I watched "The Hunt for Red October" again this morning for probably the third time. Liked it again. Seems I can't get tired of Sean Connery. "Finding Forrester" was also good.

When one packs, It's so hard to unpack. I still have lots of stuff in boxes and we moved back to the house 5 years ago. (we have a house and we rented it out for a while because the kids found it too difficult to commute to school. when they graduated from college we finally had a reason to come...

It is always sad to know that one will not see a person so dear to one's heart and most especially a mother. But there is also a reason to rejoice for one remembers how this person is an integral part of who one is. May thanksgiving for who your mother was, not only to you but also to countless...

Oh, Wow! I will have to find someone to delegate this to or maybe.... Thanks Howell. Ben... Groh...l is someone I know. I will email him. So, the Foundation owns the domain through him and that is a great relief. I think he will be able to support me in what I need to do to rectify the...

ok. it's good to know that my first feeling about changing to a different contractor is correct. my next step would be to tell the current contractor that their services (based on the judgment of my consultants (you guys) leave a lot to be desired and I am terminating their services. I only...

oh boy, I am having to admit, I don't know anything about this. so I can't answer any of your questions. the site is http://www.onesimo.ph/ As you will see, the site loads too slowly. But my greatest peeve is having to go through the contractor to post or change a bit of the site. I may...

the old contractor is hard to talk to, making updates difficult. am thinking of changing contractor. the new contractor says updating the website will be a lot easier. now, there's a lot of info on the old website. is it possible for me to take the info from the old website for use in the new...

Ah so, Merc, it's RAID they are not good for. Thanks much

I would like to ask about Samsung F4 drives. are these all right to put in a NAS?

In my place, July 4th is celebrated (well the past few years, not much of a celebration) as Fil-American Friendship Day. It still is in the calendar. It used to be Independence Day, too. Your people took down their flag formally on July 4, 1946. Then one of our presidents decided to make it June...

Wow, so out of touch. Would like to greet DD and his wife on their baby daughter. That is a wonderful event. 32 hours of labor is a long while to wait.

There was a time long ago when irfanview was highly recommended. i downloaded it once, but could not "catch" it. faststone is truly intuitive. easy. wanna batch process, resize a number of files before uploading to the web? you can use this.

It gets colder here as is usual for February, winds from China blow down from the north. My wife hates it, but I am comfortable at 18deg C., only in the mornings, though. The noon temp is around 26deg C.

I use Fast Stone Image Viewer to crop and edit, resize for the web.

What did you happen to cook, besides the oven itself?

I fiddled around with the settings. It doesn't jump around as much as it did, but still does every now and then.

ah, thank you so much for the quick responses. I will look on the control panel if there is an adjustment for pad sensitivity. no, i don't have a nub joystick. so that's out. :-)

I purchased my first notebook 2 weeks ago, a Lenovo G470 with intel B950 processor. My complaint is that quite often, while I am typing, the cursor will jump to another place on the page and I'll have 3 or four characters somewhere else. I have noticed this behavior on quite a few other...

WoW! went and looked at the pix in the links. One does not even have to play. Just show the video card through the glass on the desk top and you're already an awesome gamer! Plus the assumption would automatically be you've got a massive video card between your thighs, too.

Last Monday, my wife and I were at a mall to while away our time until a later appointment. The mall had 12 theaters and all were showing THE AVENGERS. And everyone of those theaters had long queues. Wow!

Yup, that could have happened to me too. Then again, sometimes life is really like that.
