• Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.

    Auria EQ276W review ($399 27" 2560x1440 IPS)

    Just screwing around this morning, I pulled up the Microcenter page for this monitor and it showed 4 in stock at the Woodridge store. Figured I'd be crazy to pass it up, and got one. From what I've read, I can't get the native resolution off my Mac until I get a Mini DisplayPort to DVI-D...

    How does a USB-->PS/2 adapter work?

    Also, to go the other way (PS/2 devices to a USB port), you can use a chip like the Chesen CSC0101A. It's an ASIC with a 6502 core, RAM, and ROM with a program for doing the conversion.

    How does a USB-->PS/2 adapter work?

    As far as the mouse goes, the conversion is usually done by a chip in the mouse. The green adapter that comes with new mice is just a mechanical adapter, it doesn't do anything to the signals. The mouse is able to autodetect what kind of port it's attached to.

    ipod Stopwatch question

    The built-in stopwatch app is kind of a throwaway thing they did to show the iPod could do more than just play music. Mad_Pyro is right, there's Nike Plus, which is a pedometer that interfaces with the iPod. The "Nike+ Sport Kit" is only $30, but it only works with the Nano. Apple didn't...

    stupid .php question

    You need to set up a mailbox where your boss's replies go. Make this the "from" address on the automated emails, or use a Reply-To header on the email. If you're using PHP5 (and you should be by now), the Zend Framework has classes to access POP3 & MIME mailboxes...

    KWORLD ATSC 340U

    A better antenna might help. The one that came with it isn't very good.

    Yes. They could be louder, but the sound quality is decent.

    How do they do this...

    The process you're looking for is called "geolocating". Google around and you can find databases mapping IP blocks to physical locations.

    Email Form on Website (PHP??)- Suggestions

    I definitely recommend using a library like the Zend framework for dealing with email forms. Spammers have ways of injecting extra CC: or BCC: lines into emails, or even a second message entirely. The major scripts will help you avoid being a spam gateway. Also, check out the June, 2007...

    Dell e1505 Battery Life Sucks!

    Go into the BIOS configuration screen (off the top of my head, I think it's F2 when you first boot it up). There will be a screen with a status on the battery's charge as well as its health.

    Storing delimited data vs. relational databases (PHP/MySQL)

    Assuming a separate vote table is keyed on a user_id and an item_id, then finding out if Bob voted for item #2 is a constant-time operation. The primary key is indexed, so the query just looks up where to find that record in the index. Selecting against a delimited field is a much more...
