"Free" itself is not a good enough justification. :) From a trading perspective I would definitely want to contemplate it if there are trading apps that support Linux. You certainly had a great suggestion. An alternative operating system environment. If nothing else you can use it to...

A dumb question: What is Linux? j/k :D Years ago I moved away from the unix environment. My throat got held by Microsoft: Office. Word Excel Powerpoint Outlook. Basically. I tried to figure out if there is any good justifications for maintaining some linux environments. The key...

Congrats Sam! But your unborn desktop child is also important too! :D j/k I will be enjoying some nature walks this weekend while you work hard... no cell phone, no wire. I guess it's hard for them to put a cell tower at over 10,000 ft, LOL. Besides, they can't really put a fake cell...

Fiber is definitely the best. Way into the future. Unfortunately where I live, an older community (e.g. telephone line and cable coaxial are run up to the telephone poles from my house... the old way)... fiber would be like "ur... not in this life time"... asked AT&T. Yap. Others can have...

Isn't the Xeon W3503 @2.40GHz processor, passmark score only 1869, a little bit underweight in what today's dollar can buy? http://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu.php?cpu=Intel+Xeon+W3503+%40+2.40GHz By comparison, an i7-2600 or i7-2600k are around 9000 to 10000 mark.

What? You are a Mac guy??? I will take back all the advices I had given you!!! LOL :D I haven't used those wall-wire Ethernet gadget before. I don't have any first hand experience. Years ago I had tried those for telephone extensions over the power lines. It seemed they got a lot of...

Of course I can't trade! I am just a troll with lots of computer monitors living in my parents' basement! :D Hey if you decide to kidnap me, would you please send in the lady in the Corona ad? With some supply of Corona of course. I am very willing to cooperate. :D RE: 2. The...

That's why they sell wifi equipment. :) Not having to deal with pulling wires and punching walls and jack-hammering concrete floor... And I thought hiding the CAT 5 wire under the carpet is already too much work! :D

I had pulled the tech specs on your ASUS P5N32 board. http://www.asus.com/Motherboards/Intel_Socket_775/P5N32E_SLI/#specifications You have 3 choices: 1. Maintain the good PCI video card. Buy another (probably used one) PCI video card replacement. If you pick EVGA products, and...

The PCIe 2.0 x16 video cards will be compatible with the motherboard that has PCIe 1.1. Read more: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20080116135601AAvoy70 See my next post on replacement suggestions.

Well... if you take this approach... You don't exactly use the coupler. The coupler is for connecting 2 segments of RJ45 cables. If you are running Cat5/5e/6 cables through the wall, and want to have a Keystone wall plate, you should get 2 of these...

You have subscribed to a 10Mbps internet speed. Your test showed a download of 9.58Mbps. That's pretty darn good! If I were you, I wouldn't worry about going hardwired. Reasons: 1. You said the wireless router, in the laundry room, is just next to your home office. So your wifi router...

I might have misunderstood about high temp being the cause. Read up on wiki if you are interested in the cause of capacitor pops: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capacitor_plague

A picture of my popped capacitors:

They are capacitors. They pop like popcorns when the temperature gets really hot. EVGA is a good brand. That's one of the two I use. Is this PCI base? 4 year old it probably is. It may be difficult to find brand new PCI video card these days. I use EVGA 8400 GS. It's a low end...

I am not clear on your situation and what you want to do. How is your desktop connected to the router now? When you said "modem", is it a cable modem? DSL modem? (God fobidden...) 56k modem over a phone line? The best is hard-wired connection with RJ-45 cables. But with today's...

That was a really good deal... I was too late. = = = = = We're sorry, the product you have searched for is no longer available for sale. However, product information for this product is still available by clicking on the link below. Corsair CMV4GX3M1A1333C9 4GB DDR3 RAM - PC10666...

Band of Corona Brothers! LOL :D And you need to receive credits too Sam... helping our readers save money buying components!
