Re: So, I want to build a website.
Can you still build websites for free? The last thing I knew about websites was using the program included in netscape or something like that to build them, I assume that's no good now, what should I do? Since you have GMail, there's a free service called Google Sites that's tied to your GMail acco...

I'm a big fan of Avast. It's free, reasonably light-weight, and has a skinnable interface. The default skin is pretty bad, but there are plenty of others that are easy to use. As a second line of protection, I'd suggest making sure that you keep Quicktime/Flash/etc patched up, and consider disabling...

If you are a beginning programmer, you will probably find the complexity of the ZSNES code to be a bit intimidating. Two suggestions: first, try completing a smaller project that requires similar skills. Something that requires the use of timing-sensitive code would be useful. Second, it may be usef...

If you're running Windows, nearly all of those cards should be sufficient for dual monitor support and old DirectX or OpenGL 2.0 games. ATI no longer supports the 9550, so you'll have to use an old version of the Catalyst to get that model to work - I'm thinking 5.6 or so. If you are running XP, I d...

Re: Inadvertent HDD formatting = beating myself up for doing
The HDD I meant to delete the partition on was the wrong HDD! Yes, I did make backup DVDs here and there, but going through them one by one is awfully tedious, so, is there any good/free recovery software for accidentally formatted HDDs? You can try Recuva - http://www.recuva.com . It's made by the...

Fail, and wrong. 32bit windows is capable of hardware dep. Yeah, not going to lie, I was wrong there. I meant to say that Windows didn't force hardware DEP by default on 32-bit Windows, but that's also outdated information. So I fail on two accounts there. That being said, I'll stand by what I said...

Hardware-enforced DEP enables the NX bit on compatible CPUs, through the automatic use of PAE kernel in 32-bit Windows and the native support on 64-bit kernels. This isn't relevant. 32-bit Windows doesn't use hardware-enforced DEP. It does it using software. If you're running 32-bit Windows and hav...

Re: X-Fi Xtreme Audio Notebook sound card issue
After listening to certain audio sources for several minutes continuously, the sound suddenly becomes scratchy and crackly. The headphones I am using do not appear to be at fault, nor does the physical integrity of the ExpressCard bus connectors. The problem shows up the most quickly with YouTube v...

Yes, that's a perfectly safe method of blocking websites. It just redirects any request to a particular domain name to your loopback adapter. The downside to that method is administrative overhead if you have a lot of computers or a lot of sites to block. If you can get things to work on your router...

Linux has pretty good support for Winmodems nowadays, so that shouldn't be an issue.

Linux or FreeBSD with Fluxbox should run just fine on that system. I've had no problems running either operating system with Flux on a 300MHz K6/2 with 128MB RAM and an 8GB hard drive. Linux has pretty good support for Winmodems nowadays, so that shouldn't be an issue. Puppy Linux and DSL are two pr...

This is probably an obvious suggestion, but have you tried a different patch cable? If one of the pairs is stretched or damaged, the cable may still be able to trigger the light on your NIC, but won't properly carry data. Are any of your other components functioning properly, e.g. your video card? I...
