gamers by

half households own a game-only machine
but there's lots of pc's intermixed ... bound to be
like all kinds of things to play a game on (other than a PC)
females and males both like games. equally.
Women, of course, "start earlier" (twice as often as young boys)

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...

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...

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...

Athlon 5350
Athlon 5150
Sempron 3850

All except the 2650 quad cored.
Not sure the differences on AMD onchip vid.
Gigabyte MB is $35.

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.

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...

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...
