Thanks for the quick responses. I did build my computer myself but I didn’t think to buy a better power supply so I just went with the one that came with my case. It was an Enermax. I’m not overclocking, but video editing makes my computer run hot. And I am a poor college student that...

With a loud pop and a puff of smoke my 300 W ATX power supply died last night and I find myself looking to quickly buy a new one. I was wondering if I should replace it with a higher power one. I ran this one for 3 year with most of this hardware without any noticeable problems. Rather than...

I may be wrong (history, especialy religious history is not my strong suit), but i don't think Judaism was ever forcibly spread. They don't try to convert anyone. Extenuating religions aside, I think Kat had it right the problem occurred when a government embraced a religion. That gave a...

I suppose a cat would get a great deal more attention that the standard lab rat.

It sounds like you just want to do some basic video editing, like just cutting out some clips from longer video files and possibly changing formats. If this is the case there are a lot of low end video editing programs that can do that easily. A quick search on download.com (for "video edit")...

The only thing this experiment definitively proves is that Schrödinger was more of a dog person, like Pavlov.

The carbonation in the beer speeds up the absorption of the alcohol. That’s why you should have hard alcohol before beer (with a little time between), not the other way around. Cheers

ShawnD, that is genius! I can save so much money on alcohol now. Thanks for the tip.

If someone has already done this I apologize. I looked (briefly) but I didn't see one. And being that curiosity probably brought all of us here, i figured you would understand as I satiate mine for the moment.

I wasn't worried about it, but I will definitely look for a virus now. Thanks for the heads-up NoTime.

If you don't have them already, you can download 'Data LifeGard' tools from http://support.wdc.com/dlg/ or use the online tools if you can; they should be able to give you an error code that you can look up on the site to get a better idea of what is going wrong with you drives. Diagnosing...

I had a very similar problem once. I had a Segate die and i bought a WD that died a few months later, but it was under warranty so i got a free replacement. That repalcement has worked fine ever since (2yrs). My drives died from physical defects/damage to the hard drive (i think). I don't...

I have a new goal when i cook. Do you think you could lay out some fine shredded cheese on a pan in the form of a woman, then carefully lay the sandwich on the cheese, and cook it to get the same effect? For $22,000 is worth a try. If it even is close to looking like a woman someone may buy...

Has anyone ever seen or herd of an internet connection icon showing a small yellow dot orbiting it, similar to the EarthLink emblem? Specifically, a wireless internet connection icon on the taskbar of a Windows XP SP2 system. I was on the phone with my girlfriend when she told me about it...

Sorry Averagesupernova, I wasn’t very clear. I was just pointing out that you can have a wide angle projection (project a line) that does not emanate 360 degrees around the source. You can use a spinning mirror or a refractive lens to produce a projected arc that is smaller than the arc of the...
