Answer» [highlight]MIT-Trained Rocket Scientist Develops Comfortable HIGH Heels[/highlight] Thursday , February 08, 2007 CAMBRIDGE, Mass. — A FIRM is claiming a footwear breakthrough — comfortable high heels. And it only took an MIT-trained rocket scientist to get that done. The so-called Insolia technology, developed by a team of researchers including Brian Hughes, a rocket scientist with a degree from MIT, shifts the body's weight off the ball of the foot by changing the inside of the shoe. The Salem, N.H., company HBN Shore LLC is now SELLING weight shifting inserts in CVS stores. The company says it reduces forefoot and toe pressures and improves ankle stability. Hughes is also a podiatrist. http://www.foxnews.com/printer_friendly_story/0,3566,250913,00.htmlCOL. Now that's funny.COL means? Is it here, http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=col ?COL = Chortle Out Loud, an expression coined by street1 after I introduced him to chortling. I didn't realise it was actually used in that sense, how odd.Wow! So chortling is becoming famous. SNAP! Someone Needs A Psychaiatrist! Maybe that ONES out there.----->POP!

Answer» I own a website, manage another website, (and another website after that), and CREATE various programs in my spare TIME. Most of these things, I mark with (C) 2007 (and then the media name) Questions about this: 1) Does this OFFICIALLY declare me (or the company) owning the media since it has this copyright? 2) What would happen if someone were to take this information? Would legal actions force them to retract any violations they make? 3) What good does registering a copyright do? (Not a patent)Zylstra555...... Do a bit of reading...... it's all spelled out here. Note , this applies to the USA . http://www.copyright.gov/help/faq/ dl65 Thank you for the link, dl65.

Quote Yes, but apparently you have to register to have the copyright count as evidence. Ah, dont need no stinkin' evidence But then again, one of those websites is a buisness website, so I should probably look into that

1906.	Solve : Awesome Canadien research ! ..developing....?
Answer» This is why I love paying taxes !!! I am sure people in Canada appreciate this most wise use of their hard tax paying monies! Ahhh, the liberal arts* [highlight]WASHINGTON (AP) -- Chimpanzees may have been using stone "hammers"[/highlight] as long as 4,300 years ago, an international research team, led by archaeologist Julio Mercader of the [highlight]University of Calgary, Canada,[/highlight] SAID Monday. The researchers uncovered the hammers, in the West African country Ivory Coast. It would be the earliest known use of tools by chimpanzees. The hammers were used to crack nuts, a behavior still seen in chimps in that area, the researchers said in a paper in the online edition of Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. The finding may indicate that a "chimpanzee stone age" began in ancient times, the researchers say. The earliest reports of stone tool use by chimpanzees in this area date to the WRITINGS of Portuguese explorers in the 1600s. The stones were about the size of cantaloupes with patterns of wear indicating use to crack nuts. The rocks would have been too large for human hands, but about right for the larger, stronger hands of chimpanzees, the researchers said. "It's not clear whether we hominins invented this kind of stone technology, or whether both humans and the great apes inherited it from a common forebear," Mercader said in a statement. But, he added, there were not any farmers living in this region 4,300 years ago, so it is unlikely chimpanzees picked it up by imitating villagers. Others are not so sure. The tools may predate farming in the area but not necessarily human contact, said anthropologist Stanley H. Ambrose of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. There were early human hunter-gatherers in the region at the time, he said. If chimps and early humans shared this technology with a common ancestor between 5 million and 7 million years ago, there should be sites with chimp debris going back 5 million years and the earliest human stone tool sites should show the kinds of debris found at the chimp sites, Ambrose said: "They absolutely do not." Some of the hammers also had starch residue on them, mostly from types of nuts that are still eaten by chimpanzees, but not humans. Some of the starch was also associated with tubers but the researchers interpreted that as "background noise" probably picked up in the ground. Skeptical of the starch findings was anthropologist Jeanne Sept, DEAN of faculties at Indiana University. "Their interpretations of the starch grains recovered from the specimens are incomplete, and somewhat circular," she said. "For example, they do not describe which surfaces of the rock fragments the starch grains were obtained from, which makes it difficult to judge whether the grains were left on the tools as a result of tool-use, or if the grains merely naturally stuck to the stones after they became buried in the soil." "They assert that starch grains from nuts were behaviorally significant, while they decide that starch grains identified as yam roots are 'background noise' but give no justification for that," she added. "They may in fact be dismissing or ignoring evidence that does not match their chimp-nut interpretation of the site." "It may be premature to ACCEPT the range of their claims until further evidence is presented," Sept concluded. Mercader's research was funded primarily by the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology, Leipzig, Germany; Canada Research Chairs program, Canada Foundation for Innovation and the University of Calgary. ( Isn't this great to Know, I ALWAYS wondered when they picked up the tools! ) http://www.cnn.com/2007/TECH/science/02/12/chimps.with.hammers.ap/index.html

Answer» Hi everybody! I usually SEE the www.rense.com WEB, but from three days ago I can´t go into this web. I don´t KNOW what is happening, if the web is banned, closed or what... Please, could anyone of you try to surf to this web page and say me if it´s possible? If not is possible, could anyone tell me what was happened with this web? Thanks a lot.Tried the page and it was inaccessible. Unfortunately not FAMILIAR with the page so couldn't tell you why it's down and/or when or if it will be back up.Thanks very much for your superfast response. I think it´s possible the web could have been banned... Look at this and see who is Jeff Rense: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeff_Rense Greetings from Spain.Site's down for me too. It's possible it's just gone down for maintenance or they're having problems. Try again in a day or so.Thanks a lot to everybody. I´ll try the next WEEK days. I think is the same happened with CNN Text. I saw it every day here in Spain, World News pages, till one day, my TV teletext showed: "This service is no longer available, Pease visit www.CNN.com/international" And this web pages are not the same that CNNText, they are a practical joke... Greetings from a spanish web surfer. Please if somebody hears something about www.rense.com or Jeff Rense, tell me. Causes of a website down: Problem with website hosting Problem with DNS/Domain Problem with the server Problem with the page language programming (but then again, that would return as 404 or another error) Most likely: Server and Webhosting It will probably be back up as soon as the webmaster notices, and gets it sorted out, which should be under 1 week in most casesThanks to all of you. www.rense.com is accesible now. I was very worried after three days without can go in this web. HARLEQUIN.I hope you rely on other sources of information other than his site. The trick consists of being a information miner. To know how to separate the straw of the grain. Mr. and madam Curie had to sift 10 tons of earth to obtain a gram of the element radio. The important of that web pages it is to interrelate the information obtained and crossing it with other informations to obtain an objective approach to the truth. This is not easy to explain for me, but I have tried to explain the general idea with words. HARLEQUIN.

1910.	Solve : For "Dilbert" or egghead now ~ (article)?
Answer» To Add Speed, Chipmakers TUNE Structure IBM, Intel, and AMD are finding ways around the physical problems that have hampered their efforts to make chips faste To understand the quest to build ever faster and more powerful computers, it's helpful to understand the problems that hold them back from getting faster in the first place. While chips themselves are getting faster all the time, faster is a relative term. Even though chipmakers like Intel (INTC) and IBM (IBM) are building more powerful chips every 12 to 18 months, other chips that go inside a computer haven't historically KEPT up in the performance race. If you think of a microprocessor as a fast-talking, fast-moving dynamo that never takes long to get anything done, then a dynamic random access memory (DRAM) chip is a bit more of a loafer, forcing the processor to wait for it before it can get on with the task at hand. Worse, between them lies a narrow hallway that tends to get crowded EASILY, and when it does, work piles up. If it all [highlight]sounds a little like a discarded plot for a Dilbert cartoon[/highlight], you're not very far from the truth. The solution could come STRAIGHT from the playbook of the pointy-headed manager, but with one key difference: It works brilliantly. The solution is to first make the slowpoke move a lot faster, but then to put them both in the same office so they can work more closely together with nothing to get in the way. Combo Chips That's a simple way to describe the disclosure of a new approach to computer chip design unveiled by IBM on Feb. 14 at the International Solid State Circuits Conference, a chip technology event in San Jose, Calif. IBM calls the approach eDRAM—the "e" stands for "embedded"—and says that combining the two types of chip onto a single piece of silicon will substantially improve processor performance. IBM plans to integrate this technique into its chips beginning in 2008. By embedding DRAM DIRECTLY onto the processor, IBM will be able to eliminate another type of memory that's usually embedded onto a processor called SRAM, or static random access memory, which is typically faster than DRAM, and acts as a go-between between the DRAM and the processor. However, SRAM takes up a lot of space on a processor, and with chips getting smaller all the time, the change frees up a lot of valuable space. full article* http://www.businessweek.com/technology/content/feb2007/tc20070215_001491.htm?chan=top+news_top+news+index_technologyeDRAM is already used in some cases. Either the PS3 or the XBox 360 use 10Mb of embedded DRAM for graphics.Cool. Just cool. I love it.

1912.	Solve : Global warmimg * the BIG LIE?
Answer» I [highlight]hope a lot of younger people read this[/highlight], I know you won't in your ummm schools! Samuelson: The Dirty Secret About Global Warming From politicians to the corporate world, everyone's talking about saving the planet from disastrous climate change. But for now, [highlight]it's just talk[/highlight]. By Robert J. Samuelson Updated: 11:40 a.m. ET Feb 7, 2007 Feb. 7, 2007 - You could be excused for thinking that we'll soon do something serious about global warming. Last Friday, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC)—an international group of scientists—concluded that, to a 90 percent probability, human activity is warming the Earth. Earlier, Democratic congressional leaders made global warming legislation a top priority; and 10 big U.S. companies (including General Electric and DuPont) endorsed federal regulation. Strong action seems at hand. Don't be fooled. The [highlight]dirty secret about global warming is this: We have no solution[/highlight]. About 80 percent of the world's energy comes from fossil fuels (coal, oil, natural gas), the main sources of man-made greenhouse gases. Energy use sustains economic growth, which—in all modern societies—buttresses political and social stability. Until we can replace fossil fuels or find practical ways to capture their emissions, governments will not sanction the deep energy cuts that would truly affect global warming. Considering this reality, you should treat the pious exhortations to "do something" with skepticism, disbelief or contempt. These pronouncements are (take your pick) naive, self-interested, misinformed, stupid or dishonest. Politicians mainly want to be seen as reducing global warming. Companies want to polish their images and exploit markets created by new environmental regulations. As for editorialists and pundits, there's no explanation except superficiality or herd behavior. Anyone who honestly examines global energy trends must reach these harsh conclusions. In 2004, world emissions of CARBON DIOXIDE (CO2, the main greenhouse gas) totaled 26 billion metric tons. Under plausible economic and population assumptions, CO2emissions will grow to 40 billion tons by 2030, projects the International Energy Agency. About three-quarters of the increase is forecast to come from developing countries, two-fifths from China alone. The IEA expects China to pass the United States as the largest source of carbon dioxide by 2009. Poor countries won't sacrifice economic growth—lowering poverty, fostering political stability—to placate the rich world's global warming fears. Why should they? On a per-person basis, their carbon dioxide emissions are only about one-fifth the level of rich countries. In Africa, less than 40 percent of the population even has electricity. Nor will existing technologies, aggressively deployed, rescue us. The IEA studied an "alternative scenario" that simulated the effect of 1,400 policies to reduce fossil fuel use. Fuel economy for new U.S. vehicles was assumed to increase 30 percent by 2030; the global share of energy from "renewables" (solar, wind, hydropower, biomass) would quadruple, to 8 percent. The result: by 2030, annual carbon dioxide emissions would rise 31 percent instead of 55 percent. The concentration levels of emissions in the atmosphere (which presumably cause warming) would rise. Since 1850, global temperatures have increased almost 1 DEGREE Celsius. Sea level has risen about seven inches, though the connection is unclear. So far, , [highlight]global warming has been a change not a[/highlight] calamity. The IPCC projects wide ranges for the next century: temperature increases from 1.1 degrees Celsius to 6.4 degrees; sea level rises from seven inches to almost two feet. People might easily adapt; or there might be costly disruptions (say, frequent flooding of coastal cities resulting from melting polar ice caps). I do not say we should do nothing, but we should not delude ourselves. In the United States, the favored remedy is "cap and trade." It's environmental grandstanding—politicians pretending they're doing something. Companies would receive or buy quotas ("caps") to emit carbon dioxide. To exceed the limits, they'd acquire some other company's unused quotas ("trade"). How simple. Just order companies to cut emissions. Businesses absorb all the costs. But in practice, no plausible "cap and trade" program would significantly curb global warming. To do that, quotas would have to be set so low as to shut down the economy. Or the cost of scarce quotas would skyrocket and be passed along to consumers through much higher energy prices. Neither outcome seems likely. Quotas would be lax. The program would be a regulatory burden with little benefit. It would also be a bonanza for lobbyists, lawyers and consultants, as industries and localities besieged Washington for exceptions and special treatment. Hello, influence-peddling and sleaze. What we really need is a more urgent program of research and development, focusing on nuclear power, electric batteries, alternative fuels and the capture of carbon dioxide. Naturally, there's no guarantee that socially acceptable and cost-competitive technologies will result. But without them, global warming is more or less on automatic pilot. Only new technologies would enable countries—rich and poor—to reconcile the immediate imperative of economic growth with the potential hazards of climate change. URL: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/170I thought that they determined that Global Warming was just caused naturaly, and that through time, it has gone up and down... Rendering the image that our complaints and efforts about it useless...'Dis be true. It's actually a matter of opinion, but I think "global warming" is part of a natural cycle, and here's why: In the mid 1800's, when the pioneers moved to the WEST U.S. (or what is that region now), rivers were known to freeze in winter. This is because then, we were experiencing a mini Ice Age. That period is now over, so naturally, it's warming up a bit. The fact that we entered an Industrial Age about the same time probably contributed, but we really can't possibly be responsible for more than 5% of it. I don't know if anyone else has watched this movie but I saw the movie: The Inconvenient truth which has Al Gore in it. It's an excellent movie, and it sort of opens your eyes more on Global Warming if you don't know much about it. As long as you REALIZE it has it's own bias. Al Gore uses a private jet to get to his engagements, so he must not believe all of it (or it really doesn't matter to him). http://www.usatoday.com/news/opinion/editorials/2006-08-09-gore-green_x.htm http://blogs.wsj.com/dnotebook/2006/06/01/al-gore-envirotechnologist/ Well at least, he is trying."There is no try. Either do or don't do." --------- YodaWell, I guess you beat me there.I don't know about "beating you". You just have to consider many facets in a discussion like this.If Mark will just stop farting, we'll have this problem licked in a millisec.COL!

I have compacted all folders and no, I haven't installed IE7, I like version 6.Keep in mind, I have 13,000 and some emails in my in box and don't want to delete them as I use my address for business purposes. Can you help? Or tell where on this board to go? And, where do you click to start a new thread? Normally that button is very visible . . . please helpYou click "Start New Topic", the button Above "Replies" and "Views". I've taken the liberty of splitting your post into a new thread.Updating Internet Explorer to version 7 has no effect on Outlook Express. You would still have Outlook Express 6; Microsoft did not include an upgrade of Outlook Express with Internet Explorer 7. You're getting an awful lot of mail accumulated in Outlook Express, more than it's really designed to handle. But, you MIGHT see some improvement by creating folders in Outlook Express for mail from certain senders and MOVING a lot of mail out of your Inbox and into these other folders. Why in the world are you holding so many messages in your Inbox? But, you should really be looking at Outlook or some other email client to handle such a high volume of mail. Outlook is not free. You might also look at Thunderbird, which is free. I have not used it but I've seen numerous favorable comments about it. Still, I'm not sure it's designed for this volume of mail, either. Outlook might be your best bet.

1918.	Solve : Change your Windows boot screen!?
Answer» For Win2000 and WinXP users only, I'm afraid. Note: NEVER install the Vista Transformation Pack. I've been fighting to GET it uninstalled for months now. Literally FIGHTING. I've got it 99% removed, but the boot screen still says "Windows Vista". Pain in the censored. Rather than reinstall Windows XP, I decided to make the boot screen cooler, since this is getting old: There's a program that lets you change that. Link below. I downloaded a few additional bootskins, because the default sucked too. I like these: http://www.stardock.com/products/bootskin/Problems with the transformation pack? Run the uninstaller There is a command you should run that finds missing windows files, if someone knows the command, please post it. I did. I told it to remove everything. Sadly it didn't, and SFC /scannow wrecked Windows (had to use Last Good Config). So, I am, in classic fashion, ignoring the final problem and making it look cooler. Been using this for a while now. It is a free trial though, not entirely freeware.According to Download.com, BootSkin has "No limitations".that "middle" blue one is freakin AWESOME!!! it's blue right? I'm kinda color blind ;-0I tried WindowBlinds at one TIME...the trial, though. When I went to UNINSTALL it, the taskbar was never the same...no color... Tried to restore, but that didn't work...forget what else I reied to remedy it...to no avail. Ended up having to do a new install to fix the problem WB created...maybe it was just me...nobody's perfect...except for Rob... Window Blinds will create havoc on an XP machine...not that i'm aggravated or upset or thouroughly teed off about it or anything....Face it, any software that modifies these certain files that have to do with the GUI will have a chance of messing something up. Its changing files that Windows automatically knows to protect. (Does that tell you something? )Hey,Dilbert....that last known good configuration works just fine....just used it ..LOL

Answer» Hey everyone, I have a question.... My friend said he was doing something on his computer when an error message popped up saying he needed a new 'graphic drive'. Then i asked him 'did he mean graphic/video card, not drive. What is the difference between a Graphic Card and a Video Card? I looked up 'graphic drive' but i couldn't find ANYTHING. Does that exist?You may want to ask him if he is absoluetly sure about the wording of the error message. This is critcal so we don't post any erroneous information. I've never heard of a "graphic drive". A "graphic(s) card" and "video card" are the same.I thought they were the same. I never heard of a 'graphic drive' and i couldn't find it on the internet either so i just wanted to MAKE sure. Thanks.You're welcome...Perhaps he meant that he needed a driver?THATS what i thought....i guess he misread the message, LOL

1919.	Solve : Graphics don't show/pop up windows blank?
Answer» My system info: MS Win XP; Home EDITION; V2002 sp2; Intel(R) PENTIUM 4CPU, 2.80 GHz, 2.79 GHz, 1.00 GB of RAM; Norton AntiVirus & Spybot run regularly; Verizon DSL shared with roomate -- I have the wireless connection; JAVA; media players; external hard-drive software; Adobe reader; scanner software; Registry Mechanic, etc. If it were not that I really need to see the graphics for a particular three sites (all by the same person, BTW), I would not even be all that concerned. It's a problem that occurs infrequently at other sites. All I see in the pop-up windows are the blank boxes with the filename in the upper left corner, where the graphic should be. Even the initial icon to click on for the pop-up is only a blank box with filename. I can view the initial icon and see the graphics in the pop-up windows on my roommate's computer fine and have heard others view them fine, also :-?. Here's one of the three sites at which the graphics don't load: http://www.notsoswift.com/amindandacard/80starot/ Thanks for any help you can offer. It's very frustrating. When that page finally finished loading in my Firefox browser, it had no graphics. Strangely, before it finished loading, a box appear to the right side of the screen where an image named eightiestarot.jpeg seemed to be intended for loading. But, when the page was finished loading, that box had disappeared and the upper part of space where it had been simply displayed the text name of the image, eightiestarot.jpeg. So, at least concerning that web page, I don't think you're browser is malfunctioning. You're just looking at a weird site. Can you post some other link where you believe your browser is not displaying images that should appear?Thanks, egghead! I was really wondering if it weren't just a weird site. But so many others are ABLE to view those graphics and I can view them on my roommate's computer. STRANGE! It's really only the three sites of that particular person that give me consistent trouble. Any other time has been so infrequent as to make no impression on my (admittedly aging ) memory. Oh, and stranger yet?

Answer» i heard you can change hard DISK space to ram, anyone know if this is true, and if so how do i do it? :-?You can allocate space from your hard disk as virtual memory, which Windows will use as RAM, albeit much slower, if that's what you mean. What OS are you using? Windows automatically allocates a certain AMOUNT of space, this can be changed if you want.im using XP, but have about 256mb of ram or soGo to Control Panel --> System --> Advanced --> Settings (under Performance) --> Advanced -> Change. You can change the size of the paging file (virtual memory) there. I'd advise setting either the default of Windows managing it, or the initial and maximum sizes to the same value, maybe around 640Mb. Virtual memory is not usually the answer to increasing performance dramatically if that's what you're asking. I'd advise a RAM upgrade myself if you're after better performance, 256Mb is not ideal for XP.They are at initial size 390mb and maximum is 774mb, wich shall i change?If I were you I'd SET them both to 640Mb. This prevents the paging file getting fragmented and can boost performance a little.ok THANKS mate! will do. and when i get some money together i will get a ram upgrade for sure. thanks for the helpOK, you're welcome. Belated greetings and welcome to the forum, lol. Stop by any time.

1926.	Solve : recent places folder?
Answer» HI, I think someone copied a file from my laptop ONTO their USB stick while I was at work. I got home and started to work on the file, then when I pressed save it SAID 'cannot find location, please insert removable storage device into drive d' (or something like that) so I 'saved as' in another location, then checked my 'recent places' folder. SURE enough there was evidence of a removable disk being modified on my laptop whilst I was at work. I confided this to my house mate, checked my laptop again later that night and it had been deleted from the recent places folder. I now want to confront that person about what happened as it is now obvious to me that they had copied my file, but wondered if there's any way I can GET the evidence back. I have tried the undo button, but to no avail. This happened on Tuesday (8th). Can anybody help me? Thanks

1930.	Solve : how to Estimate the improvement resulting from the use of the cache.?
Answer» Hello, could any one help me in how to solve this PROBLEM ? A computer system CONTAINS a main memory of 32 K 16-bit words. It also has a 4K-word cache divided into eight-line sets with 32 words PER line. Assume that the cache is initially empty. The processor fetches words from locations 0, 1, 2,…,4351 in that order. It then repeats this fetch sequence nine more TIMES. The cache is 10 times faster than the main memory. Estimate the improvement RESULTING from the use of the cache. Assume and LRU policy for block replacement. ThanksSorry, we don't do homework.

1931.	Solve : Hotkeys not working with some AT computers?
Answer» I have a program that runs out of DOS and after the program starts it requires that the hotkeys be used. I've sucessfully run the program on some older AT machines in the past. On NEWER PS2 style COMPUTERS the program starts but using the hotkeys causes the screen to go BLANK. I can USE ctrl break to stop the program and return to DOS after that happens. I thought that maybe it was something to do with the AT style keyboard vs the PS2 style however I just rebuilt an older AT MACHINE and the hotkeys do the same thing. I'm beginning to think it may be something in the video card or video setup that doesn't recognize the hotkey function and causes the screen to go blank. Does anyone have any experience with this? No need for multiple Posts of the same issue...Topic Closed.

1932.	Solve : Having problem with my pc?
Answer» Good day, I have a tricky problem with my computer, and would appreciate some help. Now what it does is the following, As soon as I start my pc, it does the tests checkups and all that jazz, but when it gets to my windows7 ULTIMATE startup, before the login page, my pc switches itself off, note, it does not restart. I thought that it might be windows7 so I backed up my files onto my other hdd, and reinstalled windows7 ultimate. And at random points, my pc just switches off again. next i took out my recently installed ram, and left the old ram in, and it did the same, tried that same thing with leaving in the new ram, and taking out the old ram, still the same problem. Next, i swopped my power supply with another ONE i have, same thing. tried another hdd i have, same deal. thought it may be a cooling issue like i had with previous pc, installed a cooler master jet, same problem but my pc now runs on 20 degrees and my mobo on 30. I checked my pc for burn marks, no burn marks. checked my cpu, none either, I changed my bios to the fail safe settings, and it still does the same, to rule out the disc i tried installing windows 7 ultimate from a friend's disc, still the same, to rule out windows 7 all in all, i tried installing xp, still the same. ok, so, my stats ae the following, AMD K8 dual core, nvidia geforce 6100 pm-m2 v2.0 mobo 4gb ddr 2 (800) ram, Seagate 500gb 7200rpm, samsung 160gb 7200 rpm, nvidia px8400gs tdx 600watt BAOBAB psu newly installed, and a standard dvd rw sony any help would be appreciatedThats an ECS MBoard.....it's either the board or the PSU. Borrow a known working PSU of the same or greater wattage and swap it in there to see if it's the culprit. If it is i'd invest a bit more in the next one as it's an important component.Actually I replaced my psu with another one, a gigabyte of equivalent size and wattage, still doing the same. Its doing the same no matter what os I TRY, busy formatting again not the quick format the proper one. Then i'm afraid it's the MBoard.Is it Repairable? I saw on another forum the same problem, same pc funny enough, and they SAID it could be a capacitor, and i checked all mine and they are fine. Ok i got xp to run to the desktop after installation, and it did the same nowI would take it to a local PC shop to have them confirm it's the MBoard...alright i build pc's, and such and a friend of mine also advised me to flush the bios and get an update, currently sitting with my laptop. waiting on a solution to this, my friend the IT tech also said the mobo looks fine, settings are fine, no clue what to do now oh it started about two or so days ago, and the more i started it the worse it got, it wont even read from my 500gb now, only the 160 thought that might be usefull to know oh and also has not gone off for a while now that i am running it in safe modeWhen you re-installed did you also remember to re-install all drivers starting with the MBoard chipset drivers ? ? Not sure how he can just look at a MBoard and determine it's OK... P.S. If it ran before this started i seriously doubt it's a BIOS issue...

1935.	Solve : "Can I Delete This?"?
Answer» Is there a central forum location for "can I delete this?" questions? If not, could one be started?Is there some specific file or folder about which you are asking? Ugggh! I meant to say "Can I Delete This From My Hard Drive?" In my case I need to delete things because no matter what I take off my hard drive it is still choked full. Also, the central location could answer the question, "can I move this from laptop's hard drive to my external hard drive?" I need to ask the question of just about everything listed in my C drive.If you're running out of space it's unlikely that deleting specific files or uninstalling programs will help much unless they are video files, AUDIO files, or large database files. More likely you need to: 1) DISABLE system restore (or use DISK cleanup to delete all but the most recent restore point). This will immediately free up a huge amount of space. 2) Reduce the space allotted to System Restore 3) Reduce the space allotted to Temporary Internet Files 4) Disable hibernation 5) Check the size of your pagefile. If you have a lot of ram it will be set too high. 6) Empty your Temp folder & empty the recycle bin 7) GET a larger hard driveAll my files are fairly small. I've taken off photos, and starting installing my games on the G drive and uninstalling them from the C once I've made SURE they run on G. Pretty much all that's left is things that I have no idea of what they are, hence the need to ask. I think I need more information on how to do the things on your list. I have Windows XP, Service Pack 3. Should this conversation be moved to the Windows section of the forum? Adding: Wow, I disabled Hibernation and it did make a significant difference.

1937.	Solve : Where facebook accounts hacked??
Answer» First off, I am not a facebook use-- but I do have an account made years ago because my kids thought I should. I most likely will delete the account but before I do, I am getting an unusual amount of 'likes' or 'friends' (WHATEVER it is) by the same few people. My young DAUGHTER, her young friends, her young friends parents etc. I'm not soliciting these requests and they have no reason to request a response from me. And if they did it wouldn't be multiple times. Everytime I OPEN my hotmail account to view email, I have facebook requests to LIKE or friend. Could their accounts be hacked like an email account and sending off dangerous requests from their contacts list to 'like'? Tom. I hope I opened this discussion in the correct section. FEEL free to move it to the correct category as required. This seems like normal facebook behaviour. You can disable email notifications from your facebook privacy settings. http://computer.howstuffworks.com/internet/tips/how-to-update-your-facebook-privacy-settings.htmThanks, that ought to do it.

1943.	Solve : People come into our lives....?
Answer» i had to share this with u guys too.....something to think about People come into your life for a reason, a season or a lifetime. When you know which one it is, you will know what to do for that person. When someone is in your life for a REASON, it is usually to meet a need you have expressed. They are there for the reason you need them to be. Then, without any wrongdoing on your PART or at an inconvenient time, this person will say or do something to bring the relationship to an end. Sometimes they walk away. Sometimes they ACT up and force you to take a stand. What we MUST realize is that our need has been met, our desire fulfilled, their work is done. The prayer you sent up has been answered and now it is time to move on. Some people come into your life for a SEASON, because your turn has come to share, GROW or learn. They bring you an experience of peace or make you laugh. They may teach you something you have never done. They usually give you an unbelievable amount of joy. But only for a season. LIFETIME relationships teach you lifetime lessons, things you must build upon in order to have a solid emotional foundation. Your job is to accept the lesson, love the person and put what you have learned to use in all other relationships and areas of your life.

1946.	Solve : Help with Computer Gaming Setup?
Answer» Now I actually do not know much about computers but I have recently been reading a website about the different essential components for a PC setup and so I only know the very basics. Anyway, one example of a good gaming setup around $1,000 was this: http://www.gamingpcbuilds.com/build-a-custom-gaming-pc-1000/ I was wondering if the parts mentioned in this setup are compatible with each other and would you recommend any upgrades provided the cost remains around $1,100 - $1,150 no more? Also with regards to the case, how do I know what size case to buy to 'contain' the computer (I know there are examples offered on the web page but I might want to look at different ones, ones with a window in them like the Antec DF-85) Finally, how would I be able to insert neon lightings inside the computer case so that it can be seen through the window of the computer case? Thank you very much (Y)There are still a LOT of unknowns here. What is your budget too work with? Is that the unit you want to build or did you have parts in mind? What OS? What will you use the machine for in addition to games? YES, you can get all most like a tube shaped neon light for around $30. I think you Velcro it in. Stuff like that generally, makes the inside of the case warmer so you need a good cooling system too.Budget - £1,150 ($1767) According to the website, the cost of all the parts costs about $964 when buying used but I will be buying new parts so it'll probably cost around $1,150 with the new parts Unit - Well thats the first unit I saw that actually looked nice but of course, i'm unsure whether more improved parts would be needed OS - Windows 7 but i can buy a different operating system if need be Purpose - Mostly playing games but I will also be using it for facebook, email, youtube (just GENERAL internet browsing) And with the cooling system what would you recommend?with ur budget, i think this sysytem will suite u. it was a giveaway reveiw but the spec are awesome. all INFO have in the LINK below n i think this monster will enough for beginner like u. enjoy http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/cyberpowerpc-gamer-xtreme-gxi220-review-and-giveaway/
