Most of you have already hit on reasons not to use Chrome. Let me add a couple I didn't see. HUGE memory hog. About double Footprint that IE 7 has (which isn't exactly slim and trim). Each tab launches in it's own process. This can be good since one site cant lockup or crash the entire...

I use IE and ask myself the opposite question daily. Why would anyone ever use anything else? IE just works and always has (since version 5.5). You never come across a site that looks bad in IE and as long as you aren't stupid enough to click on the occasional popup that comes through, it...

Just to offer one more "geek" opinion to this post. Stay away from Linksys/Cisco. Contrary to popular belief, they are not "kings of networking". Cisco has great marketing and will work for 90% of the population but if reliability is what you need, then stay away. At work, we have...

I'm not at all surprised by the price difference in the cables. But I am hugely surprised that BestBuy was willing to compete with an online company. That is amazing.

as for the asians....as I mentioned, they are (were?) having some issues with thier safe search filter earlier... I've been using it all day and can honestly say that it is getting better and better by the hour.... Heck, they've even replaced the bad search results (which they explained in...

I'm not sure about the rest of you guys but I kinda like it... I've changed my homepage for now and I guess I'll see how long it takes me to get fed up with not having all the greatness that google does besides search (which IMO, they have started sucking at). Also IMO, cuil is cool, it's...

Also doesn't necessarily mean anything. It is a good indication that there might be a problem but nothing concrete. Almost every router that comprises major hops on the net will be configured to prioritize all other trafic over ICMP (ping) packets. This means that if a route gets "busy", it...

The only specs I found says it doesn't yet support 64bit OS. Unfortunately, that will keep me from buying

depending on how much you want to spend and if you plan on needing more space in the future, the most reliable would be a external raid enclosure similar to something produced by www.drobo.com or www.buffalotech.com However, we are then talking between $350-1000 for the enclosure and then you...

Best Quote Ever! (note: I removed the name of the person who said this in this thread simply because I didn't want it to look like I was poking fun at him. I simply got a good laugh outta the line and wanted to reiterate it :))

XP and Vista operate differently. In my experience (using Vista on 3 different machines - 2 x64 and 1 x86 - since beta right alongside XP and XP64). Vista is much faster in day to day operations. Sure it uses CPU cycles when idle (I'm not using them anyway so why would I care?) and it...

my personal feeling is that the fact that it is a separate piece of software is not a "benefit". Why download more software when what you get in windows always works and requires no extra effort to install?

Ashley, if you are gonna quote/reference "studies", you should really link whatever you are referencing. I am not disputing your claims, I am just pointing out common courtesy. As for my personal experience, I have used IE as a primary browser for the past 10 years (average 8-10hrs per day...

IMO, L2 Cache is the #1 decision factor (with clock speed a close second) when it comes to buying a new processor. You will notice a HUGE difference in those two processors running side by side. Especially in a laptop. I would also recommend the upgrade (if available) to a 7200rpm hard...

My personal feelings is that a ADD/ADHD diagnosis is usually driven by the american school system. Kid has problems paying attention in class (normal). Teacher complains (since they can no longer discipline). School forwards the complaint to the parents in the form of a threat ("Control your...

How can this not make the list? http://bleacherreport.com/articles/30264-babe-ruth-leads-list-of-worst-trades-in-mlb-history it doesn't get any worse than that throughout history...trading or otherwise

best suggestion thus far. Heck, if you use VNC you can set it up so that both people can even be logged in at the same time. However, VNC is a lot more CPU intensive than Remote Desktop in my experience.

as the previous poster suggested, synergy probably won't work for this situation. The purpose of a KVM is to make a single mouse/KB control multiple computers. The OP is trying to do just the opposite i.e. controling one computer with multiple mouse/KB. If it is a small number of people...

yep....only 140 million copies sold thus far.... sure sounds like never....

http://www.betanews.com/article/Intel_isnt_saying_no_or_yes_to_Vista_completely/1214499814 It isn't that they aren't going to upgrade... They are simply going to upgrade when it makes sense...just like the rest of us.
