    slow internet (upload faster than download)?

    I'm on Comcast cable and today it feels like I'm on a 56k. When I went over to DSLreports to do a speed test this was the result. The download sucks and the upload is 4 times the download. The test also says something like "Warning, isp upload compression has been detected". Anyone have any...

    Where's the Starcraft CD key stored?

    Had Starcraft installed on my old computer. Built a new computer, and I have both my Starcraft and Broodwars CD's, but can't find the Starcraft CD case, which apparently had the CD key on it. Is my CD key somewhere in my registry settings of my old computer or something?

    driver cleaner isn't free?

    Last time I used it was several years ago and it was free. Now the website says it's $10? I don't have a problem paying for it, but I wanted to make sure this wasn't some sort of scam especially since the pay link goes to a UK site. Is there a better alternative to driver cleaner?

    question about getting car serviced

    I called the dealership about bringing the car in for service since it's supposed to get serviced at 5000 miles. They told me that the earliest they could have me in was in a month, since they're backed up due to a recall. In that month I'll probably put another 1000 miles on it. My question...

    Have LCD monitors progressed enough that refresh rate is no longer an issue with FPS games? I've always assumed that CRT monitors are the best when it comes to FPS gaming, but I may be behind the times. Any thoughts?

    Norton Ghost or Powerquest Drive Image?

    My IBM Thinkpad 570 laptop has a 4GB Drive partitioned 1.5GB Fat 32 and 2.5GB ext2. Needless to say, I'm running out of space on the windows side and need to get a larger drive. So here's my plan: 1) Use Ghost or Drive Image to make an image of the entire drive (all partitions) and back it up...
