CC Fraud (a sad story) by Flasherly[_2_]
Not sure, bit over my head, how that applies to some of the "other" sites, say, as opposed to Amazon or Ebay. No doubt a real fun job for law enforcement. It appears to look, apart from an acceptable allowance and statistical abstracts for continuing to work within a present state of embezzlement...

BIOS setting for "Boot from CD" by SC Tom
This is kind of a follow-up to "Spontaneous Shutdown/Reboot", but a different subject; hence the new subject line. After still having the reboots about every week to 10 days, and swapping out everything except the MB and APU, I decided to try a new MB. I bought a BioStar A68MD...

troubleshootting question about keyboard by Yes[_2_]
I have a MS ergonomic keyboard (PS/2) I've been using for quite a few years now. Until a few days ago, it worked as expected. However, now the OS (Win 8.1 Pro 64-bit) does not recognize it. I have not changed my hardware nor have I added/removed any software. My USB mouse works. When I enter...

Crown C-D vrs ART C-A/B by Flasherly[_2_]
Difficult to cede the ART the better, although, both with a tube buffer for the input, the differences had me scrambling over rolling what stock I have: GE, one below the 5-star broadcasting standards, and two, circa Soviet military, similar class variants. I went back to the GEs, even though,...

Class ABDH by Flasherly[_2_]
Don't make 'em to last. Supposed studio-grade ART amp, two models, which I'm glad I didn't buy the more powerful of the two. It has a characteristic output heat difference: one channel's output transformers are hotter than the other. I noticed the heat discrepancy from day one, when I first...

Strange new pdf animal? Anyone know how to print it? by John B. Smith
This is a long way from building computers, but I've seen other posts that strayed at least as far, so here goes: New York State is determined to 'encourage' us to file our taxes online to spare them work. The past few years I have been using AARP volunteers to help/check my taxes and then...

The Biggest Mistake in Windows 7 and such, Task manager does notfocus on harddisk performance ! by [email protected]
It's time to discuss and inform you of what has been bothering me for quite some time now. It's how Windows/The Task Manager presents the "performance of the computer". In my daily usage it's not the CPU or the Memory usage which decides the experience. It's mostly the harddisk and the constant...

A legal solution for bitcoin. by [email protected]
English translation (google-translate assisted :)): My fear is that bitcoin will cause global warming and rising electricity costs. A possible solution for bitcoin is to introduce a law that states that a person can only mine bitcoins with only one or a maximum of 5 computers. Such a law could...
