RE: Is this pc worth its price?
Never used VIA x86s, but.. have you ever heard of a VIA overheating? :P | Verte | Tech Talk | 07-28-2007 at 08:51 AM |
RE: old tech!
Nothing really useful. It's got a heap of mini DIN-style ports for ancient mac printers and modems [kind of like ps2], and it's got a db25 SCSI port. If it did have an rs-232 I wouldn't have any problems at all- it's not like null modems are exp... | Verte | Tech Talk | 07-27-2007 at 02:08 PM |
RE: Laptop sound amplification?
In absolute measures, with perfect speakers etc, you're right. On the other hand, given the resonance of the speaker and the ear, cutting the bass allows more energy to move in the more efficient part of the spectrum. As an example, consider earpho... | Verte | Tech Talk | 07-27-2007 at 03:36 AM |

RE: Backlight on laptop off?
A screenshot will look completely normal, the same as a screenshot would look completely normal if you unplugged a monitor from a desktop. | Verte | Tech Talk | 07-26-2007 at 02:08 PM |

RE: old tech!
Nice! I remember my 200MHz MMX machine doing 1600x1200x24 bit games fine. Crazy that. | Verte | Tech Talk | 07-26-2007 at 02:13 AM |
old tech!
A few months ago, I became the happy new owner of a 17 year old mac LC. I'm not sure weather it was the fond memories of the system from primary school [my school was well behind the times- they still had mac IIs in 1997!] or some sort of geeky aura... | Verte | Tech Talk | 07-26-2007 at 01:15 AM |
RE: Backlight on laptop off?
I don't see how. If you can still see silhouettes on the screen when you look at it right, then as far as the laptop is concerned the screen is on. If your laptop suddenly turned off, maybe there's a short or something. Either way, it's not looki... | Verte | Tech Talk | 07-25-2007 at 01:13 PM |

That depends what you mean by turning it off :) | Verte | Tech Talk | 07-25-2007 at 05:19 AM |
RE: Backlight on laptop off?
My thinkpad is rather antiquated, and the backlight often takes ages to start up [or just doesn't]. There's a little button that the screen hits when you fold it- tapping it puts the laptop to sleep, and tapping it again usually fixes the light. Fa... | Verte | Tech Talk | 07-25-2007 at 05:14 AM |
RE: IE / Live Update / Outlook Express not working :(
Sorry WaqasTariq, that's very strange indeed. Does anyone know about the TCP/IP stack in 64 bit Vista? There might be some separate gateway for 32 bit apps that has died. | Verte | Tech Talk | 07-23-2007 at 04:06 AM |
RE: Should i get vista?
Yes, which is exactly why 2k remains a much nicer operating system than XP :):) | Verte | Tech Talk | 07-22-2007 at 04:56 AM |
RE: How can I veiw the partition tables?
You need adrian15's Super Grub Disk! It automatically finds your operating systems and can boot into any of them, install GRUB, or set any to boot automatically etc. It's menu based too, very easy to use, great for when Windows decides to eat your ... | Verte | Tech Talk | 07-20-2007 at 03:49 AM |
RE: Should i get vista?
Ooh yes. In fact, even 64 bit x86s think they are 16 bit when they start up, so you could even run QDOS on them if you like. | Verte | Tech Talk | 07-17-2007 at 01:24 AM |
RE: Explorer.exe taking it's time
No, he's totally right. I'm not sure what the problem is Chris, but my very clean win2k installation takes two minutes and forty seconds for the start button to show [too many live updates installed, perhaps]. It's not that explorer takes ages- y... | Verte | Tech Talk | 07-17-2007 at 01:15 AM |

Pretty sure you can get DIN - PS2 connectors. I bet you could do some crazy DIN - PS2 - USB chain. | Verte | Tech Talk | 07-15-2007 at 07:59 AM |
RE: Should i get vista?
Yeah, of course, it's most likely to work fine. That probability increases all the time. But if you're worried about it, there's no harm in waiting. All I'm saying is, you've got to weigh up the potential downsides if some application you use i... | Verte | Tech Talk | 07-12-2007 at 04:58 AM |
RE: Should i get vista?
Eh, blame the other vendors.. No. It would be naive to draw a parallel between, say, the lack of wireless drivers for some suppliers on GNU/Linux. It's not something we should excuse G/L for, either it works or it doesn't, and until it does, if I ... | Verte | Tech Talk | 07-10-2007 at 03:53 AM |
RE: Should i get vista?
Amen. Is it worth $$$ to you? Buying Vista means less money for other things, so you've got to make sure it's worth your while to upgrade. | Verte | Tech Talk | 07-09-2007 at 01:57 AM |

RE: Monitor dimming in Windows Vista?
I think she wants it to happen automatically, to sort of half a half-off screen instead of a regular screen saver. I know you can do this on most laptops [it's absolutely trivial to do so on most laptops under Linux], bur for desktop LCDs you're o... | Verte | Tech Talk | 07-08-2007 at 06:56 AM |
