    Bill Gives President Emergency Control of Internet

    I'm an American (US), and haven't figured it out yet, either. My best guess is that, in a Republican administration or in most media outlets, 'conservative' means "you agree with me," while 'liberal' means "you don't agree with me."

    No, the dell is the only desktop in the house.

    PSU Upgrade

    It must have just been two bad Antecs in a row. The 24 pin is plugged in and so is the 4 pin (along with the pci-e). The fans all spin, but the pc won't post. There are no beep codes coming out.

    PSU Upgrade

    I decided to upgrade the video card and psu in my Dell Studio 540. I ordered an Antec TruPower New 650W. I received the first, and the fans all started spinning, but the computer would not post. I tested the new video card with the old psu, and everything booted. I figured that it was just a...

    light video card upgrade suggestions

    I just checked on the 9600gt, and it recommends to have 18a on the +12v rail. My PSU is listed with an 18a max (on the +12vB). I'm guessing that's the second 12v. It also comes with a 6pin PCIE plug. The PSU is a Lite-On 350W. Would that be sufficient for the 9600gt? If so, would it have...

    light video card upgrade suggestions

    I've recently gotten back into light (open source) first person shooters, and want a decent experience. I'd like to upgrade my stock 3450 to something beefier without having to replace my psu (I bought a dell because I'm tired of building my own, and did not have the intention to play video...

    Printer That Uses Coffee Grounds For Ink?

    Anyone else notice that you have to move the cartridge manually? IE your print speed depends on how fast you can move your old grounds from left to right

    Do Humanlike Machines Deserve Human Rights?

    This is Hullian learning theory in a nutshell (it's way more complex than this), and this statement is generalizable to other scientifically valid theories of learning. The only problem with your view is that computers are far too simple to use as analogies to humans (though we are both...

    Router Problems.

    If your router is old/crappy (802.11b), you can try to get a new router. If the new router doesn't work, then use one router as an access point. You'll have to get into the firmware, but there should be a setting that makes the router simply pick up a signal and broadcast it. The idea is that...

    WiFi help

    I'm trying to connect to a belkin g router over Vista SP1 and XP Pro SP2, but neither version of Windows "sees" the connection. I have a Broadcom network utility installed on the Vista computer, and it sees the Belkin connection and shows that it has plenty of signal strength. However, when...

    Upgrade or buy something new?

    I'm about to start grad school, so I'm thinking I should either a) upgrade my computer, or b) buy a new dell I built my own. My comp: Pentium D 805 running slightly above stock 1.5GB hodgepodge ram (1GB rated at 667, 512MB rated at 533...both running @ 533) ATI x800 pro 160 GB WD HDD...

    Odd uses

    Itchy & Danny, thank you both. I'll start pooling my money, but I'll also keep my eyes on how the amd products' bang/buck ratio changes after the price drops take effect. I'll definitely look into the $230 oc bundle once I make sure that I can secure an apartment with air conditioning.
