Bugzilla Mozilla... There is no user named '...' by John Doe
That's discouraging, since they are asking for an email address... So of course I enter the email address, and this is the response... There is no user named '...' Either you mis-typed the name or that user has not yet registered for a Bugzilla account. Of course there is no user with my email...

Rhythmic blinking HDD light not caused by Autoplay? by John Doe
I thought the only cause for a perpetual rhythmic blinking HDD light is Autoplay. But all of my Autoplay settings are "Take no action". I would suspect System Monitor, but it's not automatically started and it's not running. It isn't necessarily once per second, but that's the...

new 128G ssd ... is that all? by Flasherly[_2_]
128G Samsung EVO for $70/US. Went in without a hitch, slick as butter. Used to do an occasional cassette, WAV to MP3 conversion, back in the day, but they're all done. I feel like a kid with a new game that can't find anybody that wants to play. Let's play "95G Free On A SSD." Got to be some...

Quickie on W7 by Flasherly[_2_]
If 1) a DVD is limited to standards of 4G, and not one byte more, and 2) MS W7 surely does come, as distributed, on one, within such standards expressed as storage, a DVD well might be expected to comprise, 3) how, perforce, then am I then to account for a standard installation in excess of 20...

At the proverbial feeding-trough by Flasherly[_2_]
Microsoft has been through its heyday(s), sued variously - and successfully, some claim for monopolistic practices that set technological computer advancements back a decade or more. Welcome to the next hegemony. What you paid for your Windows 98/XP/W7 -- albeit, apparently, a tablet, that's what...

Bluetooth headset (speakers and mic) recommendation? by John Doe
Headset microphone must work for speech recognition input. Speakers are for recreational music. Hopefully spend no more than $150 (USD). Thanks.

SSD travails by Cyborg-HAF
I recently finally got an SSD to add to my homebuilt PC running Windows 7 Home Premuim 64-Bit. I unplugged all drives but my opticicles and the Samsung 840 Pro SSD and installed Windows with a clean install on the drive. I started installing all my drivers and set up all my hardware and set my...

who makes cheap tower cases with BLACK bottom? by [email protected]
I inherited a PC in a cheap noname case. The interesting thing is that it is painted black underneath. Every other case I can think of has bare zincanneal or aluminium on the bottom. The only other feature (in otherwise mediocre generic case) is that it has a blue light bar 15 cm wide under the...

OT Anybody have Hotmail? Working? by John Doe
I guess it's called "Outlook.com" but the URL says "live.com". I'm having trouble getting to Sent, Deleted, etc. It shows messages there, but nothing happens when I click on those folder names. Thanks.

Windows 8 is the most vulnerable Windows OS - you can thank Adobe Flashfor that by XP Guy[_2_]
If you are wondering why Windows 8 tops the charts, even though Microsoft touts the platform as more secure than its predecessors (don't they always) - the answer is quite simple; Flash. Because Flash is now baked into the modern instance of IE, any Flash vulnerability can now be tied into Windows...

Very interesting. I didn't realize it until having the thing in front of me, but now it appears obvious that it's easier than typing.

USB external drives and Daemon Tools Lite don't play nicely together by RayLopez99
USB external drives and Daemon Tools Lite don't play nicely together. Daemon Tools Lite problem. This is a workaround I found that's for the web crawler and future reference, to the extent Usenet groups still get indexed by web crawlers and read by the public, which is doubtful it seems. From my...

8 gig RAM on older hardware by Dominique
Hello, is there someone who ever tried to put 8 gig of RAM in an Acer TravelMate 7720 or similar "notebook"? I'm actually running Win7 32bits with 4 gig of RAM, I'd like to go 64bits and it would be great to go 8 gig. All the documentation I've found (old) says 4 gig RAM maximum. It uses DDR2...

OT Can you do this with a tablet? by John Doe
Trying to avoid confusion... I'm sure that you can use a tablet for a virtual keyboard and/or a touchpad component of a desktop computer, but that's not what I'm asking about. What if all you have is a tablet and big monitor. Of course what you see on the tablet screen can be sent to the...
