Hi folks... I've done a lot of poking around for a couple of months looking for the best place to get the best deal on a good gaming and work laptop. I checked out Amazon, NewEgg, NCIX, etc. After lots of looking, I _almost_ came down to going with Sager's build, here...

I've been looking around for a couple of months now, not too exhaustively, but am beginning to narrow down my search of a gaming laptop in the 2600 USD range. This search lead me to places like: - http://ncix.com or, - http://newegg.ca or, - Amazon, or, - ORIGIN PC | Custom Computers | Gaming...

Hey ya'll, I'm putting suggestions together for a friend and was wondering if someone had some other thoughts... Budget is: ~1,500 to 2,000. Use: Mostly gaming. He already owns a PSU (1,000 watts), SDD (and other storage options), and has a screen (so purchasing one would be less of a...

I'm looking at some 7870s and 7950s... To me, a big difference, it would seem, would be that the latter has a whole extra Gb of memory. So... does it really matter. I have the choice of spending about 230 on an OCed (1100mhz) Gigabyte HD 7870 with 2Gb, or a XFX Radeon HD 7950 Double D 800MHZ...

This guy is the mobo I have at the moment: MB ASUS|M4A89GTD PRO/USB3 RT http://www.trustedreviews.com/Asus-M4A89GTD-Pro-USB3-Motherboard_PC-Component_review Sitting on that, I've got an AMD Phenom II X6 1055: http://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu.php?cpu=AMD+Phenom+II+X6+1055T For my video card...

Hi all, I've got a friend wanting to put a new gaming rig together... he does already have a machine he'd like to cannibalize (hard drive, disk drive and screen), but he basically still needs: PSU CPU GFX Card RAM Case Mainboard We're in BC (Van Island), so we'd probably be...

Hi everyone; A quick noobish question... To what degree do Crossfire'd cards need to be similar? :confused: I currently have this card: http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814150447 In keeping with what people have told me (it needs to be a similar card), I'd thought I'd...

Hi all, a few months ago I saw (but never bookmarked) a really sweet plugin that speeds up your page loads by doing all JavaScript includes from within one JS file, rather than all sequentially on the page. I've been doing some serious Googling and coming up with trash. :( Any help at...

Hi All, I've got a pretty simple setup where port forwarding was working without a hitch. My old router (wrt54g) was forwarding RDP requests (over 3389) to my computer's ip. No problems. Then I switched it out with a WRT160N wireless router (and upgraded firmware), and I just can't seem to...

Hi All! I've been doing some searching (Google/eBay) for some decent to good wireless, outdoor, IP (so I can hook into iSpy) security cameras. In some cases I'm finding some really good features here and there, but never really a complete package. Does anyone know of a good security camera...

Hi everyone, I'm slowly getting into RegEx (more so been meaning to) and have found a good use for it: There's a folder with a bunch of files in it which I'd like to rename. All the files start with "HR####" then have some other information in the file name, up until the ".pdf", or...

... Or something to that affect. Our current environment is very limited... we don't have access or the ability to spin up our own DBs, however our shop does have access to SharePoint (more specifically, SiteAdmin access). Is there any way I can hook in and use the SharePoint database...

Hello all! It's hiiiiiiiiiiiiigh time I cobble some new components together, as my current rig is sorely outdated and outclassed. Thanks for helping out... Here goes: 1) What will you be doing with this PC? Gaming? Photoshop? Web browsing? etc I plan on doing more-so video editing here...

Sounds... erotic. But, is there a way to trigger a function on a page through the URL all at the same time? I understand putting something like this in the URL (minus the 'http'): javascript:alert(document.cookie); Will fire off some JavaScript, but is there some way you could do that...

Hi all, So, I started working on a design a few months ago, but now I'm unsure if I want to proceed with it... so here's what I've got: http://uberpages.com/dev/ I realize there are a few flaws right off the bat: Little remorse to smaller screens. A little heavy on the page load...

Hi all, I'm looking for the best way to approach this problem: The site I'm working on just went through an overhaul, thus all the page extensions (other than the index.htm) have changed from .htm to .php. Currently, Google only has the .htm pages indexed, but I'd like to update this to...

Hi all, Really quick question... I've got an older Logitech webcam (that's working just fine) which I was wondering if it was possible to have it start recording if there's motion (or some amount of change/variance detected). I've got the Logitech Image studio, which really means...

Hello everyone, I've been tasked at work to put together a rough framework of SLAs for our Web Services team. I have dealt with SLAs very briefly before, but not a lot and nor actually putting them together. There are requirements to address hosting and maintenance with a minor lean...

Hi all, An object oriented question tutorial request here... regarding classes! I haven't seen many good tutorials out there that cover classes (say, how to create in ASP, .Net(C#), etc), so I was wondering if many people knew of a few good tutorials out there? I've searched around with...

Hi All, I'm running into a bit of bad luck here... I'm trying to buy my uncle a fax machine. He's in the US and I'm in Canada. I've tried NewEgg (.ca/.com) and TigerDirect. Both places are unable to take Canadian-based credit cards and have the shipping address in the US. I find this...

... It was actually somewhat tricky to pick a title for this post, hope it was apt. Here goes: You've probably seen them: Load the spoof site, enter a URL, submit and then have a spoofed site return based on whatever theme. Snoop-dogg, style, etc etc. With certain words/word groups replaced...

Hi everyone, this is may be a bit specific (and my knowledge isn't too deep regarding the vCal spec). The following code seems to die when I'm trying to import to Outlook 2k3 (running XP), complaining about a missing/bad parameter. It however does not die while trying to open in Outlook 2k7...

Hi all, I'm wondering if anyone could provide feedback or experience you've had with emulating OSX on a PC. Basically, I'm just trying to get it up and running so I can develop in the iPhone SDK. Would love to hear anything -- I've done some searching around and have seen it's quite...

... Good lord has it been a long time; about a touch over three years! Since then I've been somewhat less in-the-loop about what's currently hot, so I'm asking for some advice as to where I need to blow my cash (it doesn't have to be right away). My budget: ~1500/~1750 CAD. Current...

Hello all, I've got a quick question about http://live.yahoo.com/ - As it will be, apparently, shutting down tomorrow (December 3rd). I was wondering if there's anything else out there that's similar to the service they provide; free, easy to use, etc? Many thanks in advance!

Heya all, As many know, there's a ton of javascript/css popups out there, but I've been trying to track one down, with minimal success. The type of popup would be centered, a single close button and a shadowed/darkened background - Basically just a presentation box. If anyone out there has...

Hello all, I've got a very odd issue dealing with connecting to my WinXP Pro box with mstsc. When attempting to connect with the MSTSC client (even specifying :3389), the dialogue looks like its attempting to connect (ip text field grays out, orange bar starts moving), but then it just does...

Hello all, I'm having a bit of a struggle with grasping how a class works. I know that in most cases (syntax aside) that creating and calling a class is generally similar, however, I'm finding it a bit difficult to find any good tutorials to break it down for me. Currently, I'm working...

Hi All, I'm really trying hard to remember where I saw this (a tutorial), or if I'm just making it up, however it's hard to describe. It's basically a rectangle with links on the side, once those links are hovered over, the main pane shows a div with content in it. You could almost consider...

Hello all, I've quite certain I know the answer to this already (and what an unfortunate answer it is), but I'd like to make sure that I'm not missing anything! Is there a good way, or any, of packaging a movie file (I've got one .avi linked) to a PowerPoint... Resulting in a single file...

Hello all, I've got a quick question about generating a PDF. I'm running classic ASP off of IIS and I was curious if anyone had a good (and free, because good lord, I've checked around)... It doesn't even have to be good, but, a COM object or anything that will take ASP output and render it...

Hi all, I've got a questions about something I'm trying to develop. In house, we're running ASP off of IIS... I've got one application that's basically recording user data via a form and storing a bunch of these values in a database. That being said, once a user finishes filling out a form...

Hi all, I've been looking around for some kind of form-level spam protection for a form I have. I've got all the standard email filters and such, but I'd like some protection on the form, too, however, without a CAPTCHA. I've tried the 'display:none;' textbox method, but it still does not...

Hi All, So, I've been out of the whole business of checking out components and such for PCs (less than usual), since I've built my last rig, which was about a year ago. In any case, it's time to rebuild and I was definitely leaning towards a dual-core Intel system, but I feel a bit...

Hi All, Really quick question... I'm attempting to write ALL passed HTML headers to a page... Is there a way of doing so?

Quick one here: I was curious if anyone knew of a good script that would (or even learn from) replicate fields (to infinity), for example with a 'more' button. Similar to adding things to a grocery list, etc. Thanks in advance!

Hi All, I've got a tidbit of show/hide code which is failing for me in FF but runs perfectly in IE. What on Earth is happening here? <script language="JavaScript"> function propertyOccupiedOp(){ if (document.all.propOccu_SD.checked == true || document.all.propOccu_Other.checked == true)...

Hey all, I'm running an intranet site via ASP and was curious to what limit I can interact with MS Outlook. I know it's possible to generate Outlook calendar files and have them open for the user, however I have something that could be a bit more tricky: Is there a way to invoke the "open...
