I grew up in SC and moved to Idaho during college. I made that trip in 3 days. I would consider that the bare minimum time as I had no time to stop other than sleeping. To me, one of the best parts about I-40 was Tennessee. That state is crazy, it just goes on forever. It's really cool too, all the ...

From the home screen, hit the Menu button -> Settings -> Application Management -> Allow Installation of Off-Market Apps. This will let you use your phone as your testbed for your developed apps. IIRC ATT doesn't allow sideloading of apps through this method. I don't think that checkbox is even the...

At the expense of sounding like a jerk... does ATT have a return policy? There are much better Android phones coming out for ATT very soon. The Captivate isn't that good of a phone when you consider the currently available Android phones on Verzion. It is an even lesser phone when you compare it to ...

Droid X android 2.2 with flash on stock browser

Says not optimized for mobile and plays kinda jittery.

I think we are going to face this issue at my office this coming year. I want to move away from tape based backups. My main problem with them is that they are a hassle to keep up with. I like that online backup services only backup your changes and this limits the backup sizes significantly, unlike ...

We had some electricians come wire up the conference room for HDMI a few months ago. It was probably 30-50 feet of HDMI cable. They used a signal booster of some sort. It basically plugged in somewhere along the stretch of cable and was electrically powered.

It was expensive as hell though.

One of our servers here at work always does this. On some reboots it will randomly say the display is out of range, when no display or display settings have been changed. It is a pain in the ass and the only way to make it be "in range" is to restart the server. Usually I just remote to th...

Car seats in the back seat are another issue for that car though.... As in child seats? What's the problem? It'd be good to know these things before pulling the trigger. Rear facing seats can be particularly hard to fit without moving the front seats up a significant amount. We have a few "lar...

I've driven both the Mazdaspeed6 & Legacy GT. They are both fun cars, but I would probably go with the GT for reliability sake. You can find a lot of posts on the internet regarding the Mazda DISI turbo engine. I semi-doubt its long-term reliability, and there are many people on forums who have ...

I think viewing distance is the biggest deal when it comes to using a TV as a monitor... or as a TV. If you get too close you can physically see the individual pixels in a lot of TVs. Just think of it as pixels per inch. The more pixels you can cram in a given inch the "finer" the picture ...

Newegg won't ship internationally anyway last I knew. So it wouldn't matter?

Your best bet is to have friends/family in the US by it and send it to you.

astraelraen

Try car-part.com

You can search for what you are looking for and then it will bring up the junkyards that have it. Then you can call/email them to ask if they ship internationally. I come up with 40+ 6.8l V10s from a quick search.

Do you have W7 pro? If so and you have hardware virtualization capable hardware then try out XP mode.

No guarantees it will work, but that's my best guess rather than completely reinstalling.

I did not think about game saves, etc. This is the problem. The "Starter Kit" is the only HDD MS appears to be selling right now. Thus I can't possibly be the only person who bought/got one and found themselves in this situation. And then MS is like "send us even more money!" No,...

IIRC the transfer cable only comes with the 120GB drive if you buy it separately. But maybe that was only for a limited time and now you have to buy it no matter what. TBH I can understand the frustration... but assuming you are replacing a 20GB premium HD whats the big deal? I imagine you don't hav...

The sad thing is that I was hoping for a unanimous "Duh... go with this AV every tech in the world knows that" and im getting the same mixed feelings I was before ahaha. I have used about every AV thats been mentioned here, just not their business editions. Hmmmm, if only TR had a busines...

If he can outfit that office for less than 500.00 a computer he should be sitting pretty. The other issue is that some of that old hardware lacks Set Instructions to help prevent viruses or utilize running anti-virus software without bring the system to its Knees. Thats their situation, but for now...

I have messed with kaspersky in the past, it worked decent and detected a fair amount of stuff that a few others did not. however, again this was well over 3 years ago that I used it. We switched from Symantec AV Corporate / Symantec Endpoint Protection to KAV a little over a year ago and never rea...

astraelraen

We use Symantec here for about 70 computers, their corporate AV is top notch. Their management software is excellent too.

I don't know the actual pricing though or if they are more/less expensive than the competition for only a few computers.

We live in Nampa, Idaho getting closer to the southern edge of town. We have our eye on a few pieces of land about 15 minutes south of town. Although it's not quite as rural as mentioned above.... it is nice. Sadly, living in a rural area is becoming less and less of an option in our world. You have...

ZS3 is out, too expensive vetoed by wife. So I think it is down to the Panasonic ZR1, ZS1 or the Fujifilm FX70EXR. Of the few reviews I've read of the F70EXR my interpretation of this camera is complex, it seems to be a fairly powerful camera if you learn/understand/use all of its features. Also, it...

I don't know if I would ever want to work with RAW files, it was just a passing thought. You mention the Panasonic ZS3 and ZR1... what about the ZS1? The ZS1 and ZR1 seem to be pretty close in terms of price. From looking at their website, Canon doesn't seem to offer many in my price range with the ...

I bought a Sony DSC-H20 a few months ago for a photography class. So far it's been great. I understand the dislike for Memory Stick, but is it really that much of an issue? There's a review of it and other superzooms over at dpreview . It performs well in all of the tests, but it doesn't have a wid...

Ya, it's a Panasonic DMC-LZ3. It's been pretty good thus far, felt like I was taking a gamble on it when they first came out. I don't know how long Panasonic has been in the camera game but I had no experience or perception of them as a consumer at the time. Maybe it's just been dropped too much at ...

I need a new digital camera. I haven't kept up with camera advances in the past few years... any digital camera experts out there? I would describe our current one as decent, it's got 5x optical zoom and is 5 megapixels. But it is approximately 2-3 years old and is showing its age. While in theory I...

I agree, I hate the new CNN layout.

You can take the intake resonator box out of the front fender as well for free. You'll start to hear the motor a bit more, and hear the bypass valve discharge. That with the downpipe will make it sound a bit meaner without being obtuse. You'll start to pick up the turbo when it spins up (hissing). ...

Not sure where you are, but if you are in the snow belt, get some proper snow tyres for it. The all-seasons my 05 2.5RS wagon came with were fine until the rears would suddenly let go in the middle of a corner, requiring power on 4 wheel drift to avoid a spin. It was lots of fun but not the safest ...

Of the 3 new cars we have owned, Subaru is the only car that specifically stated a "break in period" and procedures in the owner's manual. I would read it and go from there. If I remember correctly, at least in the N/A Subaru 2.5l they recommended you not use Synthetic for ~10k miles maybe...
