Question how to clear cmos w/o removing battery & don't have that small clip to jumper

Turning on the mobo with the jumpers shorted could really fry the mobo? I thought most procedures for shorting out the CMOS jumpers and resetting the CMOS required the PC to power on (although it wouldn't POST or do anything other than reset the CMOS).

Java methods problem

I wouldn't give up all hope. A lot of it comes down into how you're introduced to programming and taught programming techniques. If you're having issues with Java I would start with a functional programming language first. http://htdp.org/ is a very good book on how to get started thinking...

Receiver and speaker suggestions

Right now the room is arranged the other way with the couch in the middle of the room. We're probably going to rearrange it though. Right now the couch is about 8ft from the TV. Ditto on ceiling height. I'll probably be moving to a bigger place in a year or two so whatever I put together now I'd...

I hate Steam.

Dunno. I haven't had any trouble with steam since after the first year or two of its release. Every time I d/l games now it takes maybe 2 hours to fully get and install something like TF2. Can't say I have many complaints about it anymore. OP, might wanna check out your ISP, connection, and/or...

Java methods problem

The reason this is happening is because the child class, Counter, is extending the VillainPlayer class and inherits all the properties from the VillainPlayer class but not its data. The score properties of VillainPlayer and Counter share the same name, but not the same location in memory. So...

Help with opening a file using php

Make sure that the web server has permissions to read and write (since r+ opens for read/write) to the file. http://www.yolinux.com/TUTORIA...ialManagingGroups.html has a fairly good walk through on how to do this on *nix systems. Under Windows, right click on the file, go to the security tab...

Receiver and speaker suggestions

I am looking to setup a decent sound system in my apartment (although the living room is a bit small, think maybe... 10x25 or so). I think about a year ago I was looking at the Onkyo-SR606 receiver, but then read it didn't have proper HDMI switching until the 700 series. Right now I have a 360...

HDMI Cable: The Truth

I would say there is no difference in signal quality between cables and to not let the price fool you. Retail stores like to jack up the prices almost 1000% on things like A/V and network cables. e.g. a friend of mine got me a $50 HDMI cable from Best Buy using his employee discount for $8...

Unreal Anthology for $2 (in store pickup) at Gamestop if you can find it

Awesome! Been wanting to play UT2k4 and seem to have misplaced my CD-Key. Hopefully one of the local stores around me still has it.

Old 433 Celeron Socket 370 HEATSINK work with Pentium 1000

As others have already mentioned the heatsinks should be interchangeable and I would definitely recommend a fan as well. I'm not too sure about Coppermines at 133MHz will clock down to 100MHz. I think it should work, but not 100% sure.
