Kapersky In-Store Purchase

http://www.circuitcity.com/ssm...m/ccd/productDetail.do If one purchases this in-store, can it be upgraded and used on Vista for free? How long of a license is it, and how many computers can it be used on? I'm having trouble finding these things out online. Thanks

I drink because...

...alcohol has a relaxing effect on me, which I enjoy. ...I enjoy, and savor the flavor of certain beverages. and last, but not least: ...I know that I do not have a drinking problem, and do not drink alcohol of any kind on even a semi-regular basis.

Why are VGA/CPU's oriented as they are currently?

Well, to explain why something is done in a specific manner is caused by the standard being as such, raises the question, 'why is the standard set as such?'

Why are VGA/CPU's oriented as they are currently?

From what i have seen, the 'default' orientation for a video card is to have the heat being either pushed horizontally, or in a downward direction. CPU's default position is to release the heat horizontally. Would it not be beneficial for the default orientation to have the heat being...

Dual Monitor

Some games you can run in "Maximized Full Screen", which lets you click off without minimizing it. My friend uses it for a couple games.

Dual Monitor

I am setting up a new system. E4300, GA-965, 7800GT, etc. What type of a performance hit will I take by running 2 monitors for gaming? I would play on one, and have the other for web browsing and such. Would the performance improve if I purchased a cheap PCI video card and used it for the...

Harry Reid "I believe ... that this war is lost"

1. There is no acceptable definition of 'lost.' What were we trying to accomplish? Despite what we said, I beleive we were trying to remove Saddam Hussein from power--most likely a feasible option due to his history of violence. From what I understand, his sons were responsible for a large...

Any Comcast users getting disconnected repeatedly today?

Yep. I have been. Calling to get FIOS installed (if I can in my apartment complex...) tomorrow when the office opens at 8. I play WoW, and I haven't been able to chill with my friends outside of just chatting for the last 2 days. I also haven't been able to get over 2.5 meg down since I've...

At the risk of sounding racist...

Heh, glenn, reread. I speak spanish. :) I dunno, I understand that the vast majority of those who listen to this music in spanish haven't had musical training, and it's far too common to not have anything past an elementary school education, but come ON! I think I would have realized...

At the risk of sounding racist...

I am noticing, at this particular moment the complete and utter lack of creativity in most of the music on the radio. I get a little peeved when a rock band repeats the same phrase over and over, and every good band overdoes the repitition. I can admit that. However... Listening to the...

Core 2 Duo Questions

A quick (who am I kidding, hour or two) look around on forums showed me that the overclocked frequency is about the same (~3.5 on water) for both. The main diff. would be that you can get these higher frequencies with cheaper RAM on the e4300. To save money, I'm probably going to go this...
