  1. First use smooth scrolling in your browser.. If you are using Firefox... Tool | Options | Advanced.. Then check the smooth scrolling option..  The other thing would be to download the drivers for your mouse.  The only "Program" that I know of would be logitech's SetPoint or Microsoft intellitype application.

  2. As far as the Blackjack goes...  I would not be shocked about ahigh return rate.  I am currently answering this on a Cingular blackjack.. It is not the simplest phone on the face of the planet.

    Just to add something to the iPhone madness.. There was an ebay auction for a 30GB version that, when pulled, was sitting at $800.

  3. I would agree with a hardware failure or some other hardware issue.  If it is passing the memory test the it is looking for a boot device.  Try downloading a Linux live-cd and see id you place that into the cd rom drive if the computer will boot.  I guess a Windows xd would also work just as well. 

    Did you heard any type of clicking sounds when you turned the computer on?

    Introduction:

    For this guide we are going to be taking a look at many of systems that are involved in Linux.  The end result will be, of course, DVD playback of movies on your openSuSE 10.2 machine.  However, at the same time you should be more familiar with the update, installation sources, and installing software using RPMs.

    What will be covered in this guide:

    • Adding additional installation source
    • Installing VLC
    • Updating

    A few notes before we begin

  5. Welcome to the forum..  Could you post a tracert for me?  Start | Run | type cmd press enter | type tracert testmy.net..  Then paste those results back into here. 

    I check the Comcast support forums to see if anyone in CA is having issues.. Like always San Francisco is having issues, but the rest of the state looks pretty clean.  Which would bring it down to a signal issue, routing issue, or your setup.

    To check your setup make sure that you are not running the drop for the modem though a cable booster.  Did you have Comcast come out and install the modem for you or did you do it yourself?  If you did do it your self did you use any splitters?

    This is just to see what happens if it is not any of the problems mentioned above.. Download TCP optimizer, search google it is everywhere, and set the speed to 8000kbps.  Make sure that you set the radio button to Optimal Setting in the lower right.

  6. Here is what I found..

    Lenovo 3000N

    1.8 Core 2 Duo

    1GB Ram

    160GB HD

    X3100 Intergrated graphics (Don't shun this to much..)

    $999.99

    This is more of a business computer... It is based on the Santa Rosa platform Intel GM965, with wifi, and the core 2 duo.  BTW Santa Rosa has been out for less than 2 months and Intel admits that not all of the graphic processing power has been used yet.  Right now the x3100 is scoring double of the GMA 950, the previous generation.

    Lenovo 3000N

    Intel Core 2 Duo 2.0 GHz

    2 GB ram

    120 GB hard drive

    NVIDIA GeForce Go 7300 128mb

    $1339.99

    Those are the ones that really stuck out to me..  If you decide to go with HP you are going to be looking at spending more $$ for ram.

  7. Well.. it is a connection error.  I would try increasing the number of allowed connections.  Has your user traffic increased?  When did this start happening?

  8. They should have auto detected..  Also make sure that you installed all of the drivers for your motherboard.  If you didn't there is a good chance that any SATA drives, like dlewis pointed out, will not show up until the drivers are installed. 

  9. I think it's used for extra PCI power on some motherboards... used to be the mobo connection with AT form factor

    Yeah basically.. It is offically called an ATX AUX Connector.. It is used on ATX/NLX 250-300 watt systems.  This was dropped when ATX moved from version 1.3 to 2.03. 

    So what was it used for..?  It was used prior to the new 4 pin version to supply additional voltage to the motherboard.  Now with extended ATX, 24 pin (Standard ATX 20 pin connection + 4 pin), both are rarely used.
