To get a pixel perfect display on your flat screen TV, there are two options. One is if it has a regular VGA PC input. You use a regular VGA cable and you just set the graphics settings/resolution correctly on the PC's graphics card. The lower res TV s are 1360x768. The full HD 1080p type are...

The arrangement with Bob is like a simple Power of Attorney available through most offshore and I think even onshore banks and brokers. You had better trust Bob 100% and he had better have a non OECD passport if offshore. It's similar also to nominee directors for trusts and corporations - which...

I'm using a 37" Samsung TV 1920x1080 and it's a perfect monitor - just had to get the 1:1 pixel mapping right, a simple setting in the TV menus.

The Samsung 37" TV I have can map pixels perfectly 1:1 - so it is also a monitor using DVI or HDMI cables - and way better than the two 22" 1680x1050 monitors I also have. Frankly when you can sit comfortably four feet away, with a wireless keyboard and your boots up on the desk as I am now...

P.S. I've checked and the above registry files should work with any flavour of Windows inc Win 7, 32 or 64 bit.

Any main brand Core2Quad or Core2Duo (avoid Celerons, CoreDuo and Dual Cores), Windows 7 32 bit, 4Gb memory - just plug in an extra pci (not pci-express) graphics card. The biggest thing performance-wise is to dump bloated security suites and get rid of useless background helpers etc, just...

Ok, If you go to this site, they have preset ".reg" files and custom registry tools for various services of the various Windows versions: http://www.blackviper.com/WinXP/customREG.htm You can easily create a reg file with only Updates disabled and a default reg file with updates...

Here is a test for Java IP address leaks: http://www.stayinvisible.com/cgi-bin/iptest.cgi But there are also Java/Flash cookies and web bugs that linger as well as ordinary cookies. Use CCleaner to get rid of them. Google "Practical Internet Privacy" for more. - and there are no viruses...

Charlie, The only thing about Windows Updates is when they start installing in the middle of trading, causing the system to hesitate, slow down and then maybe demand a restart. You can do as you have mentioned, or you can go to Start and then either Run (for XP) or use the Vista/Win7...

Cryptohippie is one of the best VPN services, but my favourite is www.perfect-privacy.com The trouble with proxies is that they do not encrypt all of your internet activity and your real IP address can leak through Java and other browser plugins. They are also slow.

Welcome to the real world Asusilovic - governments are criminal by nature. You have just noticed the camoflauge being briefly removed. To become a government you have to claim moral exemption so you can legally kill or steal. They just forgot to legalize it first. Anyway, there has been some...

I'm currently looking at this forum on a massive 37" Samsung TV. It works perfectly as a monitor - pixel perfect and puts my other dedicated monitors to shame. To get it right, you have to go for a 1080p screen ie the resolution is 1920 x1080. You need to use the HDMI in for best results. On...

Don't forget in a torrent program like utorrent, you can specify the maximum upload and download bandwidth speeds, so it would not then affect anything else.

Sorry Charlie - I haven't checked back here for a while. Probably you no longer need an answer..... For the benefit of others anyway - I would say just leave the settings as standard. One more thing, the only downside of Avira Free is the occasional popup. I'm attaching a fix for that -...

FHL, Sorry for late reply, I haven't checked ET in a few days... Eset NOD is one of the better and leaner paid antiviruses, I believe. But still, last time I checked Antivir was leaner (uses maybe 10 MB of memory, one or two background processes), free, and has the best detection rates. Don't...
