I'm gonna wait for the hd-dvd blue-ray wars to end. I do not want to have to own two dvd players.

You could also invest in a GFI plug that will help provide a lil extra protection for not much investment.

GFI outlets are designed to protect you, not things plugged into it. I'm not sure if that's what you meant, which is why I replied.

I thought yahoo was part of AT&T! 

No?

Nope, they're seperate companies. Except for AT&T Yahoo! internet, formally SBC Yahoo!

400LBS I wonder what you need to hang that on your wall?

The smaller the file size the lower the quality you'll get.

You might want to re-install the video card drivers. Also make sure you're not in safe mode.

Looks interesting. I have news.yahoo.com set to my homepage.

my modem belongs to the isp. its brick is in an unprotected outlet. the coax is unprotected. there is an ethernet surge protector between modem and router. if lightnong strikes, i say burn motherfucker, burn. let the isp replace it...

lol, but does your ISP cover acts of nature? Not all do, I'm sure. So you could possibly have to pay for a fried modem.

Hi guy's

a zero on the 110 v.  we have the full Monty in UK 220v.

but only 20 outlets , yeah 220v hurts , especialy when you are standing in a puddle,

Actually, it's the amps that hurt you. Most people can't feel a static shock below 2,000 Volts, without current that is.

30 something outlets, at least three in each room.

Nothing higher then the 70's yet this year.

It sounds like to me that it's overheating. If a fan inside the case isn't working, try replacing it. That could solve your problem.

24, but hav been mistaken for as young as 16 before. 

i am interested in building or buying a gaming computer. kinda wanna build so i can learn some more but would get a pre-built if it was cheaper.

Cool. Building your own computer is very fun. I just built my first one. Some pre-builts can be cheaper or more expensive, but the prices are basically the same.

i don't really know much on processors and motherboards. not sure about a graphics or sound card and how much memory ill need.

If you don't know much about computers, I don't know how much you know, then building your own computer can be a challenge. On the plus side, you will learn a lot of new things. One example is, your motherboard, CPU, and memory all have to be compatible. Like when I built my comp, I made the mistake of buying a processor that fit in to the motherboard, but it was "too new" for that motherboard revision. Luckily I was able to return it. Your options for add-in cards and drives will be more since most conform to industry-wide standards. Not that CPU's etc. don't.

Anyway,

i plan to spend around 1500 give or take. so any input would be appreciated. i wanna build something that i wont have to upgrade for too long.

We're here to help you along the way. I'd say $1500 would be pretty good for a computer.

It sounds like it could be his connection settings. Is the router set out to automatically give his computer an IP address? If so, make sure his TCP/ip settings are set to automatically receive an IP address.

I don't mind it much, since I love computers so much. I agree that people that know nothing about tcomputers think you can just do a couple of things and have it fixed in less than five minuters. What does bother me though, is that my friends/family are always downloading these freakin stupid toolbars and other junk, AOHELL included, that just clog up their computers. In my experiance, it's almost always the users fault. I wouldn't 100% blame them though, there's still a whole bunch of stuff I don't know.

thats all credit is a scam

This is a scam, yes. But not all credit is a scam. There are lots of good reasons to have good credit.

I meant to hit the preview button. Have you been getting that error alot in your modem logs?

No I used cablenut.... And how am I getting overadvertised speeds when I used to get the speed that they are advertising.

What do you mean by getting over advertised speeds? Your other messages point to not getting advertised speeds. Also, have you

Run the test at http://www.broadbandreports.com/tweaks and post the results. Are you using a router? Also, what brand and model modem are you using?

EDIT Another question: Does it take time for your eyes to get used to the LCD and the size? My eyes hurt. I have turned the brightness to like 18 and the contrast to 50. Not sure if that hurts the monitor, but it seems to bright. Anyone else have this problem?

If you have the settings to high, then the life of the montior will probably1 be shortened somewhat.

I just turn off my monitors when I'm not using my computer. (CRTs btw)

I don't know why people say they can't look at a CRT monitor for long periods of time, maybe it's just my monitors but I can use my computer all day long.

As far as screensavers go, the attached one is pretty cool.

Some people probably have their refresh rate set to low. That can be a big source of headaches for CRT users. Brightness can sometimes be a problem too. I'd recommened using a freeware program or whatever software comes with your monitor to ajust the settings. I recently did it with my new computer, not new montior and what a difference. It's much better now.

Welcome to the site, Asesino.

Read the two topics in my sig, to see if they help any.

Thanks for the help. But it was too simple.    http://forums.techguy.org/security/308403-solved-java-byte-verify-virus.html
