I've been trying to solve a series of puzzles that appear to be using different encryption techniques. Not knowing much about them, I'm wondering if anyone here knows of a site that outlines some of the more common used techniques. I've found a number of sites, but they all more or less show...

Dumb question. I ask because the new janitor at work always puts the rolls on the underhand way and it's just unnatural and wrong. Everyone I know does it the overhand way.

Back in July I asked for advice on buying a new PC. I was looking at a mid range P4 based system to purchase around October. Well, I still haven't bought a new system since my situation hasn't changed as planned. Anyway, I'm now looking at the AMD64 chips since they've come down in price...

My boss' laptop was stolen a few weeks ago. It was a brand new IBM T41 that cost around $2000. It had waaay more power and capabilities than she needed or would ever use. Despite my advice to the contrary, she insisted on spending the extra cash to get something "nicer." So, we bought it...

I know there's some car guys on here so I thought I'd ask. I'm looking for a wax or something that will be easy to apply and will last a few months at least. It just needs to protect the paint from minor dings and the elements. Any suggestions for a particular product, or are they all pretty...

Any reason I shouldn't buy this? Looks to be a free motherboard after rebate from NewEgg. Any reason I shouldn't do this? I can't see one. http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc....-139-144&depa=0 Edit: Hmm, I may have found my answer...

Over the weekend some asshat left a messed up message on my cell phone voice mail. Under normal circumstances I would ignore it and let it alone. However, I have the bastard's phone number on my caller ID (idiot...). I've tried doing a reverse lookup, but it would seem that it's either a...

This sounds too good to be true, but I've read that it actually works (well, at least the free iPod one does, and this is the same company.) The deal is this: if you sign up, complete an offer, then get 8 other people to sign up under you and also complete an offer, they send you a free flat...

Well, like the title says, I'm getting ready to build a new machine. If all goes well I plan on moving out of my house and getting a new place this Fall. So, I need some new hardware. First, here's my system specs (so I can get some evaulations on what kind of performance boosts I'll see)...

Many of you might be familiar with Molson's "Twin Label Technology." For those not knowing what that is, all bottles of Molson Canadian/Light have a second label on the back with a cool little phrase. Well, my girlfriend and I have been collecting these labels for almost a year now. There's...

Sega's "explosive" E3 announcement An email sent from Sega to those going to E3 suggests something huge and unexpected will be announced at E3. ** SAVE THE DATE ** SAVE THE DATE ** SAVE THE DATE ** SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT ON DAY #1 OF E3 May 12, 2004 in SEGA Room Mark your calendars for a...

Here's the situation. My boss wants to hook up two LCD monitors to her Dell machine running WinXP to expand her desktop. Her videocard is just the Intel whatever that's onboard. I've done some looking into it, and it seems as though there are two ways to do it. 1) Get a PCI video card and...

Does anyone have a good place to get cheap component video cables? I just got a new TV and want to take full advantage of my DVD player. I found one at Amazon.com. It seems reasonable enough, but if anyone knows a better place, I'd appreciate a link. Thanks.

If you have NAV installed and are seeing any performance issues, read this: http://service1.symantec.com/SUPPORT/share...004010810205113 I know I almost shot my computer for running so slow these past few days. Maybe this will save a few of you from going over the edge like I almost did. But...

I have a BFG Tech. GF4 Ti4200 card and the fan is starting to make a lot of noise. I cleaned it off with some compressed air and it got better, but it's still uneven and makes noise when it starts up. I called BFG Tech support and they said I'd have to send the whole card in for repairs. It...

Well it was a fake. http://www.sohh.com/forums/showthread.php?t=410941 I couldn't find the original thread this was discussed in, so I started a new one. I kinda figured this is what the guy was doing--using an emulator to save and frame by frame everything. But everyone said they thought...

Okay, here's what I want to do. I'm playing Indiana Jones and the Emperor's Tomb on PC. I'm almost done except I'm at one of the last levels. The completely stupid thing is that you CAN'T SAVE. That's right, you can't save on your own. You have to complete the level for it to autosave at...

I've read that I shouldn't be using the Admin account as my main account in WinXP. Is this really a big issue or just a precaution? Should I be creating another account and using that instead? No one but my family uses my machine, I have the firewall on, an AV running, and am careful about...

Well? I'm just curious if anyone knows. Not that I need its services or anything. For some reason it just popped into my head a while ago. I filled out a thing a long time ago for shits and giggles. I remember they were revamping it, had the new one ready to go, and then it disappeared...

With my recent upgrade to XP Pro I need a new AV program. I know there's a bunch of different free ones, but I don't know which one to try, if any. I'm looking for something that gets updated regularly and will work in XP (obviously). Anyone have any experiences with any of these? I've...
