Jacques99, I agree completely but am as optimistic as yakovitch. I actually have a minor in environmental science from back in the 80's and remember having high hopes people would finally get the idea we cannot continue down this path which will lead to human (and possibly all life)...

jannasvensonuk, I used to do a lot of gaming but not so much anymore. We used to have a saying that if you wanted to be a really good gamer, and keep up with the newest games, you could expect to replace your machine about every two years. You should probably check the requirements for the...

cmfriend, Just about any external HD can be taken apart. Look for some small screws on either end, take them out, and then gently pull the carriage (if there is one) out. Take a look at the connections and make sure they're tight and then try the drive again. If it works then your OK. If...

This maybe the saddest thing I have ever seen: http://www.youtube.com/user/hccreekkeeper#p/a/u/1/pxDf-KkMCKQ It looks like BP may have killed the Gulf for a long time to come.

blondie32, Basically, that means that Win 7 recognizes the drive but not the partition. So it wants to know if you want to make the partition usable. To make it usable you would have to format it (probably NTFS). My guess is that there is something intermittently wrong with either the...

Hobbam, Quit using IE (whatever version). There are too many security holes in it. I only use IE for Windows Update. Nothing more as its just too dangerous. Do a Google search on the trojan. There's a lot of info out there on it and it seems to not be too difficult to get rid of. Here's...

hobbam, NLite is part of the slipstreaming process. If you did the google search you will have found that its not the easiest process. But it can be done. I seem to remember there were some pretty good explanations and procedures on some of the sites. It would be best to find and SP2 or SP3...

Hobbam, Do a Google search on slipstreaming windows xp with SATA drivers. Its not the easiest process but you should be able to do it. You'll need the XP disk plus you'll need to download SP2 or SP3. Might as well go with SP3. The reason that your SP1 disk won't work is that SATA was...

phynix, This is usually a pretty simple problem to fix. Did you drop the machine last night? This error message usually comes from a loose or ill fitted RAM card. The solution is to turn the computer off, turn it over and find where the RAM chips are located, unscrew the cover and then make...

KABOOM, Whatever you do, don't tell them you opened the laptop. That will probably void the warranty (depending on what you opened). Am I correct in that you said this machine is less than a year old? If so, then it should be fully covered under warranty. Don't let them get away with that...

KABOOM, Heh, heh. I remember that. You REALLY went off the deep end for a while. If I remember correctly, you really had CMan's panties in a twist for some reason. I wonder if those threads and posts are still around here somewhere? Those would probably be interesting reading again. And...

Just saw the news on CNN. She gave it her best shot but cancer can be damn unforgiving and intractable. People magazine has a pretty good article: http://www.people.com/people/package/article/0,,20240623_20240288,00.html Good luck girl. We'll miss you.

Ugh, well, its called cancer. Something you want to stay well away from. If possible.

Ain't that the truth! I did a brief google search last night about her and was interested to find that this picture is, to this day, the most sold poster of all time: Good luck girl.

R.I.P. - Farrah Some really sad, sad news to impart. It appears (according to Ryan O'Neal) that Farrah doesn't have much time left here in this world. I just ran across this article...
