[DEAD]OLEVIA 55" 16:9 10ms 1080p LCD HDTV 255T FHD

ctcsoft, I have a Mitsubishi DLP 65 as well, and you are correct- the overscan on this set it absolutely horrible. It is not something I noticed in the showroom, but as soon as I connected my DVR to it, I noticed that the screen was clipped. If I am not viewing something with significant...

EVGA 9600GT SuperClocked for only $169

slag, Both the 8xxx and 9xxx are DX10 cards. For that matter, they both use a G9x chip. The 8800GT uses a G92 and the 9600 uses a G94. The difference between the two? The G94 has half the stream processors and is clocked a little higher. The architecture used in the 9600 is the...

Is anything truly random?

I used to believe things could be random. Then I started playing dungeons and dragons. I learned the universe is conspiring with the dice to kill me.

Visiontek Radeon HD 3870 512MB GDDR4 $231.99

http://accessories.us.dell.com...tail.aspx?sku=a1350903 It isn't that hot, because the card is still selling for more than it should be ( and more than the MSRP as listed in the initial reviews), but it is the best price I have seen recently. The 3870 is a good alternative card to the...

Can any power engineers solve my power flickering mystery?

I had a similar problem in an apartment once, although my neighbors weren't having the same issue. I b***ed to the apartment management about it for a year, along with questioning why my electric bill was twice what my neighbors was. Finally, I had to have an service guy from the power company...

random numbers

Their are some interesting ways to generate random numbers ( http://inventgeek.com/Projects/alpharad/overview.aspx comes to mind ). If you are really interested in random number generation, I would recommend that you pick up a few books on cryptography, and make sure your math skills are...

Mouse problems

If you are using Windows XP (or Vista, i guess) you might also make certain "sticky keys" aren't enabled under accessibility options. I finally disabled accessibility on my PC because I kept accidentally activating it.

Favorite Keyboards

I used to have a great keyboard, fairly heavy with a nice mechanical click and an integrated trackpoint. That was a great keyboard, and I liked not requiring a separate mouse for those applications that are not keyboard friendly (any developers out their, please try to use your app for a few...

Help - HP Laserjet 2300?

Well, their are a few things that can cause it. You could try a cleaning. They sell "cleaning pages" at most office supply stored. Also see http://www.ehow.com/how_3675_clean-laser-printer.html One possibility is a bad toner cartridge. Is it a new cart or an old one? re manufactured...

Chemo Drugs Linked to Brain Damage..01 December, 2006

Is this really surprising? Chemotherapy is not something done on a whim. It is a last option to preserve life. The drugs have a horrible effect on the entire body, and those effects have been documented over and over again. I would dispute, however, that chemotherapy, as used for cancer...

Test methodology for Brain tumors

As everyone else has stated, it is unlikely to be a brain tumor. Their are a number of conditions that can cause abnormal growth, some of which can feel quite hard from the surface. You have a very good chance that it is simply a benign growth that can be removed on an outpatient basis. Do...

Possible cause of nightmares/bad dreams (sleeping)

You could try sleeping with a cpap machine. If you continue to have bad dreams while you are connected, then you know it is not related. If you do not have bad dreams, then you can devise further tests (sleep study?). BTW, I sleep with a bipap machine, and still have bad dreams.

Radioisotope production

Born2bwire has it right. The most effective (and by effective I mean cost efficient) method is usually centrifuge. Their are very few methods available to seperate material based solely on mass. Since the isotopes will (almost) always behave the same chemically, you have to seperate...
