    Best circumaural headphones < $200?

    I'm interested in buying a pair of nice headphones to listen to music at work. These are going to plug directly into a Macbook Pro (work laptop). Sound quality is important, but not the only factor - long-term comfort is a must since I intend on using them all day every day. Any suggestions?

    Output to all audio devices in vista?

    I just set up a new computer with Vista. I have headphones hooked up to the computer using an optical SPDIF cable and speakers hooked up using a standard 2-channel plug. If I am playing a game on the speakers and decide to switch to headphones, I need to go to the sound control panel, set my...

    Corsair 620HX + Antec P180 + 8800GTX: will the cables be long enough?

    Title says it all. I'm a bit concerned about cable length since the power supply goes on the bottom of this case and it will need to go around a rather large card. Anyone tried this particular combo? The review says that the ATX, EPS, and AUX cables are all ~22 inches, which seems long enough...

    8 drives in RAID 5 - how much data do I lose?

    Not quite exponential. Let's say the probability that a drive will fail in a given month is 2%. That means that the chance that it won't fail is 98%. So if you have two if them, the chance that neither one will fail is .98 * .98 = 0.9604. In other words, the chance that any of your drives will...

    Good SFF choice for file server?

    I'd like to make a small file server and was wondering if you guys had any recommendations for a SFF computer to base it off of. My ideal system would be (in order of importance): * Able to take 3 or more hard drives * Quiet * Low power consumption * Small I don't really care about...

    New SATA RAID Setup - recommendations please

    You're wrong. Suppose the probability of drive A failing in the first year was 50&#37;. Does that mean that if you have two drives, the probability is 100%? No, of course not. There's a 50% chance that drive A won't fail. There is also a 50% chance that drive B won't fail. That gives you a 25%...

    Quick recommendation for 20 inch LCD?

    Can anyone recommend a good 20 inch LCD? Cost is an important consideration, and it wouldn't be used for games so response time doesn't matter. A widescreen monitor with high resolution (e.g. 1680x1050), good color reproduction and low cost would be ideal. Thanks in advance! =)

    How do I read a text area control in another program?

    Is there a relatively simple way to read the contents of a text area control in another application? Ideally I'd like to hook into the event when the text area gets new text, but I'll settle for just being able to poll it every few seconds and figure out for myself when it's updated. Can anyone...

    Can't hide cursor when recording WoW with FRAPS

    I didn't word my question very clearly, sorry. I still want to be able to see the cursor, but I don't want it to show up in the movie I'm recording with FRAPS.

    Can't hide cursor when recording WoW with FRAPS

    When I record WoW, the cursor shows up in my movie. I've seen WoW movies with no cursor and would like to turn it off in mine as well. Seems to happen whether Hardware Cursor is on or not. Triple Buffering also doesn't seem to affect it. I can't find a setting in FRAPS. Any ideas? I'm using a...

    I need your help

    Can you post a link to the old banner? Or maybe a description of what you'd like the new banner to look like, what size, color scheme, etc? Also, making it a contest with a good prize is a good way to get a lot of people interested in a hurry. ;)

    Interface design:

    Consider using a solid color under the main body of text. If you decide to keep the image under the text, it needs to have less contrast. Also, I think anti-aliased fonts are good for titles but for a large block of text like that I'd use a "pixel font". There are some good free ones at...
