    Balancing School, Work and Debt: A Community College Student's Struggle

    I'm currently a sophmore at a community college, I work 30 hours a week and take 14-17 hours worth of courses year round. So far I've had little trouble managing my coursework and my job, but my classes have been relatively light. I'm wrapping up calculus I with a B in the next few weeks...

    They evacuated a nice chunk of des moines this morning. The rain seems to be pretty much over however, so things should start drying up soon.

    Linux Distro suggestions - USB drive

    Thanks for the suggestions fellas. I'll try the new backtrack beta, I like the idea of not having to install/configure all the networking tools.

    Swollen Cedar River Floods Iowa Cities

    I live, work, and go to school in central Iowa. I drive through des moines every day for school. There are huge sections of the state totally underwater, it's scary to see how much has been totally engulfed. There are TONS of fields totally underwater. I drove by about two miles of corn...

    Tim Russert - 58: A Devastating Loss

    Exactly. He was one of few major media newspeople willing to ask at least a few hard questions. If bill moyers dies we're totally screwed.

    Free P2P Software: Top Download Picks

    If you're talking P2P on the gnutella network (kazaa, napster, limewire), frostwire is pretty slick. Bit torrent is probably the fastest. DC++ is good as well, but a bit harder to learn. There are a lot of e-book torrents out there, take a loook around. Or just pick up a usenet...

    Can You Reformat an HP with BIOS Issues and No System on the Hard Drive?

    Try the gparted CD. If you can make it that far in the winXP boot Cd, use the standard NTFS format (not quick) it'll run chkdisk which may detect bad sectors on the drive. if you're getting a BSOD as the winXP cd loads up, the drive could be dying/dead... Only other reason the cd would BSOD...

    Can You Reformat an HP with BIOS Issues and No System on the Hard Drive?

    Not necessarily anything wrong with the board, the POST screen is hidden on a lot of PCs. Try just hitting F8/F12/DEL as it boots up, see if it allows you to access anything. By "no hard drive" I'm assuming you mean it says there's no boot device? Ways to ensure the HD is being recognized...

    Linux Distro suggestions - USB drive

    I'm picking up an 8gb of 16gb flash drive. I'm planning on installing a linux distro on it, since I find myself using liveCDs so much anymore. Any suggestions? I've used puppy and DSL before, but since I'm not really limited spacewise I'd like to use something a little bit more...

    Troubleshooting Wireless Connection Issues on Windows Vista

    Sorry if this has been addressed elsewhere in the post, but I haven't seen it: Plug the laptop into the router, connect the ethernet port on your laptop (looks like large phone cable) to one of the ports on the back of the router. If you have the same problem then something's up with your...

    Solve BSOD Problem: ialmdev5.dll Stop Errors

    Intel video drivers are shaky at best when it comes to most games. Many different models of intel GMA chips have issues with certain games that are probably never going to be resolved. Try totally removing the old drivers, and installing the newest version from intel (not dell). This should...
