Verizon/ATT data cap on fast Internet service by [email protected]
Putting an expensive data cap on fast wireless Internet service reminds me of George Carlin's quip about "JUMBO SHRIMP". Besides maybe doctors/lawyers, is that going to appeal to little old ladies from Pasadena? "With our ultra fast Hotspot, reach your data cap in a flash!" I understand limiting...

Laptop memory question by The Seabat
I have an old Dell D600 laptop and was toying with the idea of upgrading the memory in it. Currently has 256mb strip in it. Was thinking of dropping a 1gb strip into it 'cause I can get one for around $20. The problem is the voltage. All the strips I've looked at say the voltage is 2.5v to around...

CHEAP WIRELESS HIGH SPEED INTERNET (USA) by [email protected]
Yeah, I want them to get some business. CLEAR.com offers no contract unlimmited 4G wireless internet service for less than $200 to start plus $45 per month. The same as Sprint, it is slower than Verizon/ATT. But even if it is only 3Mbps, it will be fast as basic DSL for $20 month and will breath...

Quality USB hub? by [email protected]
They use logic to buffer the signal? So the properly buffered cable can be any length? Is 16' too long for one cable segment? Thanks.

Hard drive help needed by Charlie Hoffpauir
My daughter has an old Win 98 computer that she was trying to get some data from. She has no backup (she's a lawyer, so I suspect that's part of the problem) and the computer wouldn't boot up. So I removed the HD. It's an old Seagate, 3 GB, ST33220A. I connected it (PATA interface) and tried to...

Micro-vibrations could lead to file system corruption or harddisk damage. by Skybuck Flying[_7_]
Hello, I have a new hypothesis for you: "Micro-vibration leads to file system corruption or harddisk damage". For example the Antec 1200 case of my DreamPC 2006 has "harddisk bays" which have "cooling fans" connected to them. I notice how these cooling fans start to vibrate/osccilate after a...

monitor versus TV, clarity by [email protected]
Looking at an HD TV in a store, the pixilation is noticeable from a few feet away. But looking at HD TV on my 26" monitor from only inches away, you cannot see pixilation at all. I have never seen a better picture. Ultra crisp and clear broadcast TV is the source.

SATA Boot Drive by [email protected]
I have an XP machine that has 1 IDE drive and 2 SATA drives. I have removed 1 drive or another for different reasons. When I did that, I had to change the boot drive in the BIOS. I learned that if I had the boot drive plugged into SATA 0, I would not have change the BIOS to get it to boot. I...

I thought this was a 2003-4 one-off but we now have 3 Optiplex 745 from 2007 that all exhibits the same capacitor problems. This...
