Re: Okay, resident techheads, advice time.

Windows 7 is not bad though I would avoid Windows 8. Windows 8 initially didn't even have a start button, they had to add it and add other features, enough so it is now Windows 8.1.

Only Windows 7 and Windows XP SP3 are worth running on your home PC.

Re: News from the world of Fel.

Varga is very close to my last name of Vargas which is a rather common name now.

It would be even more interesting if when he settled in Nebraska he lived at the bottom of a hill, almost at the bottom of a cliff face. Ties into the meaning of the name.

Re: News from the world of Fel.

How about doing something on the equinoxes. Everyone else does something on the solstices. Since an equinox is equal in both day and night, you could do something like day allows passage to Earth while night allows passage to Arcadia. You could even have it be on a different orbit, say one that is 9...

Re: Will Write For Room And Board (incoming rant)

There are more reasons that the rescue (I refuse to refer to it as a "bailout" as that evokes fear and worry which we do not need more of) needs to happen. I know the Republicans who voted against it are trying to take the high road but unfortunately that is sending everyone else down the ...

Re: Will Write For Room And Board (incoming rant)

Don't think that I want the bailout to happen as it stands, but there does need to be help. I just wish that it does not get passed or shot down due to ignorance or because their "feelings got hurt." I am for helping shore up the economy but not for shoring up some executive's bank account...

Re: Will Write For Room And Board (incoming rant)

The subprime market was not the problem. The problem was the deregulation of the subprime market. Saying that the subprime market is the problem is like saying that the creation of steel is problem with guns. I know people will say that if it was not there then it could not cause problems. Same thin...

Re: Will Write For Room And Board (incoming rant)

The general consensus of most people is that the money is going to be given to the companies flat out. It is not. The problem with the banks, and in a way, wall street as well, is a thing called "illiquidity" which is a fancy way of saying they don't have a lot of liquid assests, ie "...

Re: Will Write For Room And Board (incoming rant)

The unfortunate thing about all this is that a bailout MUST happen. How big it needs to be still needs to be determined. Most Americans are clueless how the economy works. Even Japan knows that this bailout needs to happen and they did their part by buying all the European/Asiatic assets of Lehman B...

Re: updatish things.

You should look up the labor laws where you are Fel. There is a limit as to how much they can make you work in a row. I know in California if they tried to do the midnight to noon then back 4 hours later, they could get in trouble. After a certain point they have to give you at least 8hrs. Of course...

Re: woohoo!

Other than checking the BIOS, the biggest thing is making sure the cord is plugged into the right port. I deal with computers all the time and there are times I mess up which port I plug the speakers into. Check: -Drivers -Volume( is it muted?) -Speakers( turned on? plugged in right?) -BIOS( is the ...

Re: woohoo!

Did you check to see if your soundcard was turned on in the BIOS?
