    Brix Bricked by BIOS?

    Just checking in if there's anything else I should try for a bricked Gigabyte GB-BXBT-2807? I flashed the F8 BIOS according to the instructions included with the Windows flash utility. Previous BIOS was F2. After restarting the screen just stayed black. After 5 minutes I turned off power via...

    Freeware cyber cafe software

    I'm just looking around for freeware timer or cyber cafe software to use on a handful of public access PCs. I haven't really come across anything which seems a perfect fit outside commercial offerings but noticed Dynasoft Cybercafe SurfShop Free, CCAutoSoft, Cafe Cop (Desktop Edition) all offer...

    Remove CRT rear casing

    Yeah, it has the tabs but I just can't seem to get enough purchase on the case to get it past them.

    Remove CRT rear casing

    If it's in the electronics I won't clean it myself, but I'd like to see if it got that far.

    Remove CRT rear casing

    I've got a Samsung 765MB that's been sitting idle for a couple of months now because a family member managed to spill milk on top of it while it was sitting under a bench. So, now I've made a little time to disassemble the case to ascertain where the milk has managed to get to, I'm stymied by...

    Why Firefox sucks

    You could try using Mozilla instead and see if the UI copes with your language situation better, I've no idea if it will but it's something to try. For the support question, probably ask first at the Firefox Forum, maybe search around there and see if anything similar has come up.

    Mirroring Software?

    Google for man rsync if you're talking about cwRsync, if that's too daunting the SyncBack GUI is probably an easier option. Heaps of other options out there, though many are commercial.

    Mirroring Software?

    I'm assuming you're on Windows? I use cwRsync but I've heard good things about SyncBack (if you use cwRsync you need to use --modify-window=2 to get around inaccurate time keeping).

    Bad blocks - replace drive?

    Yeah, I was assuming the drive was gonna end up toast. One of those annoying occasions when you sink time into hardware only to lose it to the gremlins.

    Bad blocks - replace drive?

    Just reviving an old 'puter and after a day or so of running on a fresh W2K SP4 install it blue screened with an atapi.sys error. On reboot BIOS drive detection couldn't pick up the HDD, couple more warm reboots didn't pick it up either. So I cut power and after a slight delay on cold boot the...

    Bass amp as subwoofer

    While I save for real speakers I'm using a mish mash of older speakers for a surround system at the moment. Was going to grab a 6.5mm-RCA adapter and use my bass amp as a sub in the interim. The little discussion I've found on the topic seems to not have thrown up any technical difficulties with...

    Securely receive credit card details - not payment

    Using SSL to send the form data would mean that information was being submitted securely, what I'm asking is how I then receive that data in a secure manner. Encrypt it somehow and then email it? Send it to a password protected directory? Suggestions welcome . . . Edit: It seems IMAP over SSL...

    Securely receive credit card details - not payment

    Would I just use one of the online secure form services which allow login to retrieve sent data? It would seem insecure to get the data sent to an email address. I'm not really familiar with such outfits, any pointers in that regard?

    Securely receive credit card details - not payment

    How could I go about receiving credit card details for confirmation purposes? We don't need to charge people unless they don't show and we have all the facilities to process the cards onsite. Taking details as confirmation allows more flexibility for our customers as they can change their plans...
