The fans on both of my HP Compaq 610s are constantly on and the base is fairly hot and I don't know if this is standard issue. HP assures me that this is unusual and that I should return them as DOA.
Because both laptops have this problem, I'm thinking that this might be a design flaw rather than a one-off problem.
I've updated the BIOS and using…
This has happened to me twice: I press the power button on my Mac Book Pro, choose sleep, close it, unplug everything, confirm that is off (by pressing my ear to it) and put it in my bag. Some minutes later, the laptop wakes up by itself.
Both times I caught it in time. The second time it was so hot I couldn't touch some parts -- it refused to…
Hi
Since a few days when I start Windows Vista i get a Popup from "Encrypting File System" (coming from process efsui.exe) asking me to backup the certificate and key.
I don't know what i did to get this message (The last SW i did install was google desktop).
Now i'm wondering what directories or file are encrypted with EFS.
Is there a way to…
How do I get the Google Calendar embed to look like it does when I'm actually inputting events into it?
In the attached picture are two version of the Google Calendar agenda.
On the left is the one you see when you are managing your calendar: adding events, etc. This is the preferred view. On the right is what happens when you try to…
I'd like to be able to close a chat window without the other person receiving a message that I've "left the conversation." Is this possible with Adium/GTalk and Adium/AIM?
Note: One of these combinations might not show a "has left the conversation" ever. I can't find anybody around to test this right now :)
I am a new user to Adobe After Effects. I have a 2 year old system, which i just upgraded to 8GB of ram (from 3GB). I've also switched my windows page file to a seperate physical drive. I'm looking for additional suggestions for After Effects.
I recorded a bunch of video on my iPhone 3GS and want to copy it all to my computer without emailing each one individually to myself (in addition, some of the videos are too big to email). Is there an easy way to do this? (jailbreak options ok as well)
How can I delete the local user profile on a Windows 7 Machine that is connected to a Windows Server 2008 domain?
delprof doesn't seem to exist on Windows 7.
A friend asked me this:
...I stopped using KeyNote for one simple reason –
contrary to the Mac marketing blurb,
the final
presentations do NOT work fine on
Windows PCs – they look distorted and
have formatting quirks which cannot be
corrected because the
Windows/Powerpoint file it has
supposedly been saved as is in…
I wonder how stuff like this works in windows (xp and other that have telnet):
Start-> Run -> cmd -> telnet <xyz.com> http
Start-> Run -> cmd -> telnet <xyz.com> pop3
Start-> Run -> cmd -> telnet <xyz.com> smtp
Are these "named" ports? Only windows knows that it has to substitute port…
Is it possible to access the raw image files for buddy icons in MSN messenger, somewhere on the file system? I have a buddy icon that I would like to use somewhere else, but I'm not sure how to get the actual file.
Is there a good Firefox plug-in which embeds Internet Explorer in a tab yet includes Firefox functionality like the built-in spell checker to underline in red misspelled words?
I have an HTC Hero Android (European version) unlocked phone. I'm looking for an app that will let me type away on my PC all my text messages and send the SMSs directly from the PC through my phone.
I'm basically looking at something like Nokia PC Suite's equivalent.
I wish to play all of the games that I have on Windows 7 by default (chess, freecell, minesweeper, etc) on my Windows 8 machine.
I tried to just copy over the relevant .exe files, but when I run them (even in Windows 7 compatibility mode) nothing happens (no errors, no running process, nothing).
How can I get my games working?

I really don't want to pay a ridiculous price for a "name brand" HDMI cable if it doesn't really do anything for me. I'm just curious: now that most transmission is digital (packetized) is there such a thing as a "quality" cable?
I suspect that if the cable works at all, I'm safe saying I have a quality connection. I just want…
I'm trying to install a linux distribution on my PC.
I have a GeForce 8400 GS with two connected monitors. I tried with Fedora 12 and Ubuntu 9.10 (both 64 and 32 bit) and the live cd cannot boot properly.
I don't get a visible error on Ubuntu, it simply hangs up during the boot.
With Fedora I get this error:

I use 'htop' to monitor my web server. It's recently quite loaded and the Load average is showing something like this:
Load average: 3.10 2.56 1.63
I searched the web about these numbers and I found an article about it: http://blog.scoutapp.com/articles/2009/07/31/understanding-load-averages
In the article, it says if I…
I have an Asus USB-N13 which I use for wireless internet on my desktop. The download speed I get on Windows 7 (dual-boot) is 15.22 Mbps. On Ubuntu 12.04 (64-bit) I can only get 1.09 Mbps. I asked a question about this on the Ubuntu forums as well, but I did not get an answer. Here is the output from

My router does not support loopback. In order to view a webpage on my server, I either have to type in the local ip (192.168.1.201), or be on another network. What are my options for making this easier?
Here are some possible things:
Route all web traffic through an external proxy (seems to be overkill)
Run my own DNS…
I am using Acer Aspire 3680. I recently reinstalled Windows Vista, and the wireless did not work by default.
I installed the "Atheros Wireless LAN Driver" on this site: http://support.acer-euro.com/drivers/notebook/as_3680.html
The result, the wireless APs are successfully scanned. However, when I tried to join a…
This is 2 questions really -
Am I allowed to install Microsoft Security Essentials 1.0 in a business of 200 - 300 users?
