Press power button: One click from PSU ["Solved"]

Bit of an update. Found that I could short a few pins on the PSU 20+4 pin power connector. That gave interesting results. I could get my non-motherboard-controlled fans to spin up without issue, so that decreased my suspicion of the power supply. Another combination of shorting gave me a...

Press power button: One click from PSU ["Solved"]

Right, so if I press the power button, I hear one click from my PSU. Nothing else follows. If I hold down the power button for some time afterward, I hear another click. Nothing else follows. I'm shorting the power switch with a paperclip, so I have at least eliminated a short in that...

Cheap home theater setup?

Thanks for the replies. I'm a poor college student already building a new computer and buying an LCD TV, so my budget is significantly limited. Assuming $125 is impossible, I'll have to aim for $175-$200, but not much more at all. That said, what's wrong with the Sherwood RD-6500, at...

Cheap home theater setup?

I'm not sure how to best set this up. Should I purchase the components separately, i.e., buy a receiver and buy a set of 5.1 speakers? What kind of "wattage" do I need for about a 12'x12' room? Can this be reasonably done for less than ~$125? Any other suggestions that I may be...

Lenovo Thinkpad Memorial Day sale.... 25% off

Lenovo just bought the Thinkpad stuff (and maybe some other notebook-related lines) from IBM. Big Blue was not itself bought by Lenovo ... durr.

Pretty simple networking question...

Well, it took me longer than I'd like to admit, but it's all working now. Many thanks to all who replied.

Pretty simple networking question...

Per the suggestions here, I have enabled NetBIOS over TCP/IP and have also set NetBEUI as a sharing protocol. Though the issue wasn't resolved, the wireless computer now recognizes itself as a member of the group, i.e., it can access its own share. So, that's some progress, at least, but the...

Pretty simple networking question...

Here's the situation: I have two computers--one wired to my router, the other connecting wirelessly. Both are running ZoneAlarm's free firewall on Windows XP Pro. The router has been configured to assign each a static IP address. ZoneAlarm has been configured to "trust" these static IPs...

Could the 'eye' and other complex organs have evolved from random mutation?

You're right. Nobody who believes that there is no God will ever be able to prove as such; and I would certainly hope that's the case. So that I can demonstrate what I mean, imagine I were to take you to court and use an argument as follows: This man here stole my car, and though I can't...

Federal judge rules "intelligent design"... UPDATE

Dude. Don't pretend you know what you're talking about. RNA was first synthesized back in the '60s, which as far as I am concerned, is far enough back that I shouldn't even have to provide you with a link to back it up. Go learn some stuff, eh.

Why is the Holocaust so "special"?

Well, it's pretty amazing how you fail to miss what is the most important reason that Hitler rose to power: his programs and their successes in restoring to Germany its economical power and its respect from the rest of the world. When you consider that, no, it's really not all that amazing...

Mier for the Supreme Court. The best political move ever?

And you're assuming that the left and right function similarly. Thankfully, they don't.

Seeing Creation and Evolution in Grand Canyon

As was said above, there's no use in arguing reason with theists. Theirs is a non-rational belief, i.e., a belief held without any evidence. Furthermore, the burden of proof for the existence of a god lies on them. Lacking the ability of reason makes this an impossibility of course, leaving...
