    Confusion over 19" LCD monitors

    Personally I would recommend a widescreen. Some games don't support them, which may be a problem for you, but for anything else I've found they feel much more natural than 4:3 monitors and are much easier to work with. I always have trouble switching to older monitors now when I'm on other...

    Windows Vista & How To Successfully Partition To Install?

    1. Partition Magic 2. Partition Magic comes with all the instructions you need, it is very easy & mostly self explanatory actually. It lets you resize the partitions you already have to make room for a new one, you don't have to reformat the whole drive, just the new partition you create. As...

    Mail in Windows & Linux

    I know you're asking about Evolution, but if you like thunderbird, why not use it in linux as well? If you are dual booting, you can mount your windows partition & either 1)point your linux thunderbird to your windows thunderbird account folder, or 2)create symlinks in your linux thunderbird...

    web developer job application- don't understand a question

    JeeJend: Thank you, that was exactly what I needed- I wasn't sure if they actually wanted the answer or if they wanted to test knowledge of a specific language or environment (hence my confusion since, as X-Istence pointed out, I would need more specifics.) I take it from your response that this...

    web developer job application- don't understand a question

    I guess it could be about wildcards... although the form of the question "what process would you take to understand ..." doesnt sound like they expect you to know what it would return without some sort of research or something. No context at all was given. The instructions for applying were to...

    New vista install, big hdd partition/formatting probs

    It looks like I'll be able to recover the files i did not have backed up using ERD Commander. Now I'm just trying to decide where to go from here. I'm thinking about splitting up the disks & not using raid any more- it would totally suck to get everything set up again & have the same thing...

    New vista install, big hdd partition/formatting probs

    No suggestions? It now seems that after letting it sit overnight, my XP installation no longer boots, which is strange because it worked fine after several reboots. I can no longer access any part of the disk from any recovery tool =(. At this point I would just be happy to be able to grab some...

Is there any way to a) change the default location for opening or saving a file (default is my documents), or b) change the alternate locations icons that appear on the left? I know b...

    Hello, Does anyone know of a text editor that requires no installation (can be run from a usb drive) and that supports syntax highlighting for ada95? I love notepad2, but it does not support ada, and it seems pretty complicated to add support for a language to it... Thanks in advance

    good text editor for usb drive?

    Hello, Can anyone recommend a text editor that supports syntax highlighting for C# that will run off a usb drive? I really like RJ TextEd, but it has to be installed on the system. Anything similar to it that would work? Thanks in advance.

    Windows server 2003 > windows XP?

    There is nothing at all that bothers me about XP; I just thought that maybe Server would suit my purpose more if it is faster. Can you tell me if XP tweaks, etc work for server?

    Windows server 2003 > windows XP?

    I see your point about buying/stealing it muzikool, but I can actually get it for free through my school as part of some educational software program they've got. This is how my friend got it as well. So the cost, or whatever is not really an issue. I just wanted to get some opinions about the os.

    Hello A friend of mine has been telling me that he's been playing with windows server 2003 & that from his experience its much faster & leaves out a lot of the anoying crap that win xp has. If this is true (I have learned to triple check anything my friend says) I might switch to win server...
