  1. liquid cooling isn't that complicated. you just have to keep in mind a few things. the medium you use shouldn't be corrosive, shouldn't be a good conductor and that bnngs up problem number 3. if it isn't a conductor (which it needs to be so you don't short out the whole damned box) then you have to be sure that it can't get into tight spaces like the space between a cards plug and the slot or it will break contact between the card and the board. also some harddrives have openings with filters to allow over/underpressure to equalize.
  2. if you're gonna go and insult people be a little more clear in what the heck you're talking about and most of all be clear in who you're insulting. it may be morning cobwebs but your post makes more or less no sense at all...
  3. well, you know that the copy you are making isn't legal. the problem is all the people using p2p that think copying music is legal, that don't feel it is wrong to copy software. the problem to me is the lack of conscience exhibited on p2p networks, the sense of entitlement to all the stuff that floats around in them. questions like "should you be downloading and sharing a screener of kong 2 days after it came into theaters?" answer:"i have a right to, the mpaa doesn't know shit/is a bunch of moneygrubbing bastards/hates me/is evil, so i have a right to take what i think they shouldn't be involved with." that's the problem.
  4. start / control panel / performance and maintenance / system / advanced / performance options / let windows choose automatically
  5. the difference created by the method is that you make one recording, watch it yourself (maybe) then pass it along to someone else. that alone limits the number of people that get to see that recording. on p2p you let anyone that wants to download part or all of the recording and in part upload the recording to motivate others to share their recordings/copies/whatnots with you. there is also a difference between a taped tv show and commercial software or copies of movies not yet released on dvd or tv. to me at least it does make a difference if you are making one copy of a tv show or taping a cd for a friend or if you prepare a version of the same show or cd that anyone can download from you, without you having to do anything else to get him/her that copy.
  6. so quite different from putting it up on p2p and letting thousands of copies spawn off your one file.
  7. what are the system specs on the slow one. have you defragged the harddrive, made sure there is enough free space, made sure swapfile is ok etc?
  8. how many tapes per episode do you make?
  9. [quote author=TheHalf
  10. the slow comp is tweaked right? and it's too fast to be a bad cable. you prolly checked spy/ad/malware. i didn't check, did you try connecting directly to modem, switching ports on router, connecting only the one to router?
  11. the ps2 being the ethernet for a playstation? shouldn't affect anything. the wan port is the port that the router connects to the modem with. the other ports you use for whatever you need.
  12. right. but if i need 50 patch cables fast, i buy them and pass the cost to the customer.
  13. read the 2 links in my sig. post info. have a nice day.
  14. the requirements they released are worthless. what do i need to run vista? a computer.
  15. done my own, even soldered together a simple circuit with some leds to test them, but it depends on if i'm being lazy or under time pressure wether i buy or not.
  16. if you are running pings, the number should be the same. if you are downloading or uploading, the number will of course lean one way or the other.
  17. if i shlep the laptop around, yeah. on the desk it goes into the docking station. everything wired.
  18. no. those of us that have done it do not go around and boast about it here. at least most of those that have. we like to keep this forum legal because we don't want ca3le to get in trouble, which would shut down the site. and doing it yourself is different from showing others how to.
  19. i remember this old game, battletech, the crescent hawks revenge. a rts based on battletech, that used the pcspeaker for music and speech. the programmers really outdid themselves, the music sounded ok and the speech was actually fairly easy to understand. who needs dolby 7.1 sounblaster?
  20. then they might go and cancel the whole package.
  21. better check that contract to make sure there is no fee per volume after the first 10 gigs. and otherwise you are hurting all the people that use the thing for something other than just brute force dling with essentially empty files and use a little over their ten gigs a month. and doing what you're doing could put you in breach of contract and make them kill the whole package for you. so in effect the joke might just be on you, not them.
  22. no. ok, basics. dsl is a broadband tech that uses higher frequencies on the existing phone line. to have a clear transmission it is imperative that the phones faxes and whatnot in the house are conected to the phone line with a filter (that the isp should have provided) to prevent them from putting signals into the high frequency spectrum on the line. see if she has a manual from the install and some filters they left, that should tell you how to hook up the modem. and the other comp should be hooked up via ethernet to the router, not usb to the modem. (unless your modem is also a router in which case the usp plug you mentioned might not be usb but ethernet? describe the shape of the plug on the cable from the comp to the modem/router, the model and manufacturer of the modem.)
  23. ok, i see your problem. several of them, in fact. since you use a phone line, it's dsl. the connection from the fax machine sounds iffy. you need filters on all phones faxes etc. to prevent them from dirtying up the signal for the dsl. then the dsl needs to be on its own jack. and the connection from modem to pc via usb is bad, bad, bad, bad, bad. or worse. usb slows it down, use a network cable from the router to connect to the pc. and make sure security on the wireless router is enabled so the neighbor doesn't steal bandwidth.
  24. and how would one plot a photon's path? that would mean measuring it in some manner, which means either passing it through a detector, which alters its path, or bouncing something off it to measure it, in both cases invoking the heisenberg uncertainty principle that states you can not know the position and vector of something at the same time. you cannot 'see' the photon in the vacuum (not to mention there is no such thing as a perfect vacuum, regardless of what the orek and dyson salespeople tell you on tv) since it is a particle that while being a bit of 'light' would hae to emit photons to 'shine' and that seems highly unlikely. as for physically detecting it, that will of course change its path. too bad you don't remember the guy doing the experiment.
