So you want rock solid performance, no memory leaks and less memory used then IE and Opera? Why don't you try FF 3. Beta 5 was just released. Here is the announcement on slashdot: "Firefox 3 Beta 5 was released today. This last beta release sports performance-boosting improved connection parall...

I assume what you mean is MS SQL server at your house and MS access running remotely over vpn? I'm not surprised. It would probably be slow over most wan lines, specially when you run it with VPN over crappy home router/vpn combo. One option is to publish the app as a web app and see if that would w...

I'm no photo expert and most likely never will be. The one thing I have learned is that any camera can capture cool professional looking pictures if you know what you are doing. Ultimately I think only you know what you want. I went out and got an all manual film camera (K1000) to force myself to le...

I would say that DSLReports has been around the longest and probably has a great comparison to tell you what you need. There are 4 things I would look at.

Apparently the real solution is/will be Firefox 3.0. Beta 2 is currently out for download if you want to test it. From some readings, it is estimated that it is much more memory efficient then FF 2 and IE 7. Already there is talk of FF 4 and how it will push the role of a browser.

It has been a while since I've played emulators. They are certainly fun. Of course I have an N64, WII and PS1 at home too to give me my console gaming play, once or twice a month.

One of my friends had me look into it a while back. Seems fairly neat but it seemed like mostly international stuff, religious banter and local junk. I'm sure it can be interesting and the fact that its free doesn't hurt but I don't know if its worth the money to pay for the equipment plus the time ...

He did say in his original post that the wifi-switch is on. Another option is the FN-Key with the F2 key I think or F8 or some other Function key at the top. Usually has a little antenna with signals coming out of it that also disables wifi.

ElTaco

I would say it sounds like a number of things could have happened: Wifi access is disabled: To check, go to control panel, open Network Connections and look for the wifi card. If it is there, but not at the bottom of of the screen, it could be disabled (which should be signified with a red X. If the...

Can you be a little more specific about what you are talking about? The only thing I know thats MS and Certificate of Authenticity has to do with the software stickers that are included with the software they sell. MS doesn't have a CA to issue any type of certificates for the web. Who are you purch...

MS Upgrades are always bad. I would say that probably 30 to 40 percent of upgrades fail outright. Another 20 to 30 will have issues. I think from an enterprise perspective, that is not worth it. Now try explaining that to an executive.

ElTaco

MS is going to do two things. their first tactic is to focus on large partners to force them to switch over, which a large chunk will probably start by later this year. The second is kill XP as soon as they can so that they will not sell it on any new system. Considering that most enterprises genera...

I too am a proud wii owner, but no Madden. Most games that I've played, you could set up different profiles by just selecting a different profile/user place in the setup process. You might also try setting up multiple Wii personalities on the wii (through the wii menu) and then see if that allows yo...

ElTaco

If you can't pick up a signal near enough, get a PCI wifi card instead and get an external antenna to go with it. You should be able to do some basic investigation with your laptop/wifi card to see where the nearest unlocked signal is, then just get a directional antenna if its too far away or just ...

Ok so most of us have set up our windows boxes to update regularly on its own but windows update only covers MS Windows and other MS products like MS Office. And it only does that if you are running windows 2000 or XP. What happens to all the other programs? There are 3rd party products out there th...

You can also use the apple chat (ichat I think) program to do aim and goggle chat. There are directions out there for it on the web.

I disagree. You can buy a $100 digital camera with 3mp or higher and if you know what the hell you are doing, you can get a very nice picture. Any basic photography site will tell you that. The problem is most people don't know how to frame a shot or anything beyond the 'auto' settings so they could...

I use sopcast for big games or if I"m home alone and want to keep up with multiple games. I love it. The quality is not TV level but who cares, it plays decent. One thing I noticed is that sometimes there is a big difference in quality. Since P2PTV depends on the upload speed of one or more peo...

I'd say you have two choices. Temporarily elevate his account to admin and let the thing update then move him back to limited or reinstall the Vongo software. Re-creating his account also can't hurt.

I can't say i've ever been totally screwed on ebay except once. I would say that was my fault for trusting a seller from over seas with low total of feedbacks. I usually will just look at the total number of feedbacks and their rating as well as how long they've been on ebay. As far as scams go, the...

If you already own it: They would be hard pressed to prosecute you for downloading a song you own already. Of course you can also just rip it off the CD, which is legal....for now, and will get you a better quality song then you can find for free most of the time. I don't think a Sirius subscription...

Yes, the only thing (voice) free now is Skype to Skype. You can still pay about $25/year to make unlimited calls to US/US territories/Canadian calls, which isn't too bad, however call forwarding still uses your minutes that you pay for. The # of calls I actualy made, its worth it to just keep $5.00 ...

Any time you download shit from online, you stand to download infected shit. I would say you have 2 major issues you might run into: RIAA/MPAA and their goons. In reality, I rate this as a small problem, but I'd still rather not get on their list, as a result, whatever download/P2P system you use, m...

As far as Cameras, I have not seen one that didn't work with Skype. I primarily use Logitechs but Apple's built in cameras into laptops work as well so I think its a fairly decently made software that picks up cameras fairly easily once they are installed. I've also used Skype on my phone (yes they ...

I think, as with all new toys, the first few times its kind of a distraction, however it becomes a lot less one after a week or two. I like mine because it is an mp3 player, a hands free phone and gps, so it can basically take over for my radio, I sit in the car, turn on the gps, set my destination ...

It is definately an awesome program. When my brother went over seas, we used it a ton. Now the excitement is kind of worn off plus he is in Iraq so he doesn't have the time or the Internet connection to use it much.

Nice! My Xmas present of choice was the TomTom Go 720 GPS. Its fairly awesome, been playing a little with it every day.

As I said, I am about as far from an audiophile as you can get. My ears are terrible. I'm sure Bose has improved but realistically, I think their technology can only do so much.

Actually I think there are two types of people, those who have really good ears, aka Audiophiles, who think its a piece of junk because it cuts out the really high and low ends of the auditory spectrum. Most people however, don't really know the difference, so they love it because it sounds fairly s...

ElTaco

You Lie! Clearly MS has made a deal with you to convince innocent bystanders to use Vista! No but seriously, I think a lot of the issues have slowly gone away. Of course MS changed a bunch of stuff, which means learning a few things, but thats normal for them. They did the same stuff with 2000 and XP.

Not only is there nothing wrong with having multiple anti-spyware programs on there, you should have them. Before you spend more money though, I'd consider downloading the free version of Ad-aware and Spybot S&D. Both of these are highly ranked and generally do a great job. You should only have ...
