  1. Condensation should not be a problem because when the air flows over the evaporator coil, the moisture in the air is (for the most part) dropped from the air and is taken outside (window unit) and drained there. Condensation should not be a major problem unless it's a really hot muggy day outside.

    An idea you can use if you can, try to take another hose from the front or back of the computer case and take it to the return air vent on the window unit for even better cooling :P

    By the way, really good idea, I been thinking of doing it myself, just never got around to it. I have put my laptop on the supply vent in my room and cooled it off in a matter of seconds :P

  2. I'd have to say Toshiba is the best. I've had many notebooks by many companies, Acer, Compaq/HP, DELL, Toshiba. And so far, my favorite is Toshiba.

    I currently have two of them, a Satellite A100-VA1 and a Satellite 2230CDS. The 2230CDS is about 6 years old I suppose, and its been through a lot. The PCMCIA bay has been broken (Used laptop of course, and I got it for free :rolleyes: ). My father also uses Toshiba's at work and they are very durable, especially given the work that he does.

    So, that's why I prefer Toshiba. 9 months ago I would have preferred DELL :P

  3. I call it a memory key, just because, well, it's memory and it goes on my keychain :P

    so what so you call a solid state drive? same stuff... its a memory drive?

    I'm quite irritated in the tone that you use to talk to people on this forum with. You may have a bit of experience with hardware, but that doesn't give you the right to talk down to people. I have read a lot of your posts, and each post I see by you, is very rude.

    And to answer your annoying response to what I said, no. It vastly depends on what it is, if its a solid state memory card (ie, CF, SD, XD, Smart Media) it is considered a memory card. If it has a USB connection on it, its memory key. If it's and external Hard drive, its a hard drive.

    That answer your question?

  4. Offer a small incentive to post. I really don't know how you could implement something like that, I had a few active members on a forum I had, but then it just all went downhill. Perhaps you will have better luck and maybe one day it just takes off.

    Well, good luck :)

  5. I get where you're coming from, but those extensions for Firefox are incredibly annoying

    in that the catalog of extensions is not organized into extensions that work on Firefox v2

    and Firefox v1.5. Half the extensions give errors saying it "only works on v0.9 to v1.0"

    and with the project being open source, no one gives two hoots about this or ever sorts

    out that catalog of (more than 20,000) extensions. I bet not even 10,000 of them actually

    work on v2.0.0.3 of Firefox.

    With Opera, it just works straight away from one single small exe setup file. You don't even

    need to bother with extensions, but you could, Opera has extensions, they are called "widgets".

    I'll admit that at first, the Firefox extensions were bad for this, but they have gotten a hell of a lot better.

    Perhaps you should try a more up to date version of Firefox :P

    I like Firefox, but I still like to use IE7 the most out of all the browsers.

  6. It sounds like the Hard Disk drive needs a special driver to recognize. I don't know anything about, so I can't be of any help when it comes to that part of it.

    What I would suggest though, is trying to see if the game will run under compatibility mode for Windows XP SP2. If not, then go from there.

    Good luck :)

  7. Ok, I have a fairly simple question. I have a laptop with a Pentium 4 chip in it. I do suppose that it will be a mobile Pentium 4. Anyway, I found out some info about the chip, the model number (I assume) is "uFCPGA478"

    It's a Pentium 4 at 2.4ghz with a 512Kb L2 cache and a 400Mhz FSB.

    Now, what I was wondering is, what is the socket? I'm assuming its a Socket 478, which makes sense because of the model number, and the fact that it's very similar (to what I remember) to the 2.0GHz P4 I had given to a friend earlier.

    So, I'd just like some info because I'm planning on giving it to the same person as the other chip.

  8. From my understanding, you can get an OEM version and install it on that computer, but once its either installed or activated, it becomes bound to that computer and cannot be used on any other computer.

    That's my understanding of the OEM licenses. So, my answer to your question would be to go with the OEM version. You should state that when the person buys the computer however, that the XP install is meant for that computer and that computer only.

    Hope this helps :)

  9. 22?!?! Now that is a bit much in my opinion. What 22 sites do you have open at once!? No wonder it's using a lot of RAM. But if you have RAM to spare, no reason not to use it...

    22 is quite normal, imho. Sometimes I have upto 80 tabs open in 4-5 windows :)

    Window 1 has all forum related tabs, window 2 related to viruses, exploits and security, window 3 email and news sites (slashdot, digg etc), and window 4 has programming and technical related (msdn, technet, etc) :)

    That's insane, your nuts :P

    I don't go to more than 1 page at a time, so I don't need the tabs at all.

  10. Look how many god **** tabs you have open. I'm talking 1 tab open. I don't use tabs because I don't like the idea of them. I prefer buttons in my taskbar. Besides, who in the hell browses that many god **** pages at once? Eh?

    Heres some proof of what I mean.

  11. Opera. Mostly because I've been using it since my Windows 3.1 days. I find that its very stable and has an overall polished, professional feel to it. It's also quite small- only 4 MB but packs in plenty of features!

    It's also proven to be the fastest and the most secure graphical web browser.

    But I regularly use Firefox and IE too. Firefox because a few sites don't work in Opera, and a few extensions I find very useful, and IE because I use it as a honeypot!

    Opera sucks if you're looking to get infected. Seriously. I mean, wtf, even the animated cursor bug didn't affect Opera, while Fx and IE were!

    If you're looking for malware, avoid Opera. Period.

    Dude....what?

    You started off saying Opera was very professional, and then finished off by calling it crap :P

    The reason I prefer IE is because the fact that its fast. In my experience, it has always been fast and uses the least amount of ram out of the 3 browsers I have used. Opera would use 60mb on my computer, Firefox could go from about 50mb - 75mb, depending on how it felt, and IE would use around 20mb or so.

    That's my personal opinion, so don't try to change my opinion.

  12. Thing is ! If you bought it ? then it's your own fault .

    If it was given then it's not ! Read and learn .

    Build your own.you already have a box.

    I have read the same post 1000 x with dell.

    :blink: Wrong topic there vertol? :P
