    TWers near Reno that like Off-road Racing

    Ultra 4 Racing | Stampede | Home Starting the 1400km drive down to compete in this race...should be pretty bad ass. High speed desert, big ass rock obstacles...lots of HP and carnage. Co-driving car 442 (Phoenix Racing), say hi if anyone comes out.

    Anyone here do phone systems?

    We've got a Norstar system at work, and we're changing telephone providers (From Telus to Shaw Cable). Apparently we need a technician, but they also said it only takes about 20 mins. It's 3 line hunting, all setup and currently working. Anyone know exactly what they're doing? Can I just do...

    Internet Uptime/speed tracking

    I'm looking for a program to track Internet uptime, and possibly speed. Different people on the network keep saying their Internet isn't working...and them magically works a few minutes later. Despite consistent speed test at 30 Mbit, it seems slow as fuck something. Sometimes it seems down...

    VPN Bandwidth

    We're getting VPN setup at the office, so I'm trying to learn this shit as I go :ftard: Our connection choices are ADSL or Cable, and the cable provider just lowered it's upload speeds: Cable - 7.5 Mbps download, 512 Kbps upload ADSL - 6.0 Mbps download, 1.0 Mbps upload I hate the ADSL...

    Current use of T1 connections

    I'm no expert on the subject, so I'm sure there is a point...but I don't see it. The local ADSL company (Telus) has two business internet options, 6.0/1.0 Mbps ADSL and T1 (1.5/1.5 Mbps obviously). So why would you choose T1? Sure, upload is 50% faster...but download is 400% faster on ADSL...

    Bad blocks on HDD

    I was checking my system events and I get a few of these every day The device, \Device\Harddisk0\D, has a bad block. For more information, see Help and Support Center at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp. Logically, I figure "Harddisk0" is the first HDD (SATA0), and the D refers to...

    Mac Wireless

    I'm not Mac guy, so I've got no idea how to fix the damn thing. There is a Mac G5 and Macbook Pro both connecting (wireless) to a Linksys WRT54GL (running Tomato). Macbook works fine. The G5 seems to have random problems. Sometimes it disconnects from the wireless, they reconnects (but it...

    RAF Instance Towing

    Started fresh on Archimonde, and I just got my first pair to 60. My plan was to tow some other characters up to 60 before take any to 70. Instance grinding seems to be the big thing, so I tried towing my level 8 in RFC...didn't do a whole lot. 18 per kill...I got more from questing, and I...

    New video card appears to hate me

    Just got a Powercolor HD 4870, installing it onto a 790GX motherboard. Vista was already installed and running off IGP. Installed the video card, and Vista won't boot (BSOD that flashes). Wouldn't even boot the Vista install disc. Uninstall card and Vista boots like normal. CPU is a 5400+...

    Newbie RAF Guide

    Most of the leveling tips I can find for RAF are "grind instances with a 70/80". I've got no characters on this server (starting on Archimonde), so that isn't an option. Anyone know of "from scratch" guide? I'm leveling fast just doing all the quests (using QuestHelper), but some quests seem...

    Cheapest way to start out

    Doing the RAF things so I can level with my wife, and be able to play together. Starting a new account isn't cheap with all the expensions now...so what is the cheapest? Online and stores seem to be: Classic/BC Battle Chest - $50 Wrath of the Lich King - $55 $105 for a game I still have to...

    [Fable 2] Limited Edition gets fucked

    So, I pay extra to get the LE of Fable 2. It's supposed to come with a DLC code for a bunch of stuff. I'm one of the lucky thousands that got fucked because MS forgot to put them in the box. Xbox.com | Support - Fable II Support That's all they'll say about it. Even after being escallated...

    Best TW server?

    Haven't played in a while (played for 9 months after BC release), but the wife wants to start the subscription up again. I was on Moonrunner, picked it before I knew shit all about WoW (had a friend on it). A PvP server would be cool. Casual player, I don't plan my life around raid times...

    Musicbrainz

    Someone on TW recommended this to me a long time ago, and it worked great. Now I need to retag all my wife's horribly organized MP3s...but MusicBrainz isn't it's own program now. So...anyone recommend the best MusicBrainz enabled program? Just need it to search through an assload of MP3s and...

    Damn Frenchies...

    Just got off the phone with one...trying to get tracking info on a package. She tried to "explain" to me that "twenty one" and "two zero one" were the same thing, Twenty one = 21 Two zero one = 201 Now I can understand she was meaning "twenty, one"...but the human language doesn't work like...

    Why is there no "Pop Band"?

    Like pop music or not (I don't like a lot of it)...am I missing something? If you made Rock Band, but filled it with the latest crap off the radio...it would sell even better than Rock Band. I can't count how many times people (usually women) ask if there are any Brittney Spears/Madonna/Justin...

    Calling printer people

    I need 11 x 17 laser printer. Trying to decide between: HP 5200TN - $2270 Ricoh AP610N - $1995 + cost of 2nd tray ($500?) If the manufacturers tell the truth, all the stats seem pretty equal. Our normal salesmen keeps talking down the HP, but I just found out he doesn't even sell HP...
