annoying Firefox glitches.. how can i fix?

Firefox has a couple minor but very annoying glitches. for example, keyboard keys randomly don’t work.. even as i type this message i can’t arrow around for some reason. i use most of the keyboard shortcuts frequently (ie: shift-end, ctrl-c, ctrl-v, etc) and it’s annoying when they stop working.
copy/paste also randomly stops working. sometimes [...]

10-12 port KVM switch?

I have an application where I need to control between 10-11 different workstations using one keyboard/mouse. Each system has a dedicated monitor, so i won’t specifically need to be switching video sources — i just dont want 20 control peripherals. Can anyone recommend a 10 port KVM switch that they’ve actually used before? [...]

What is your experience?

So, based on Deus’s thread I was wondering what everyone’s experience is here when it comes to computers. I think I may have asked this before, but I have a bad memory.
I’ve been in IT about 13 years or so now with about 4 years in PC type support (helpdesk and desktop), around 10 [...]

I don’t need a laptop.

And it’s pissing me off, because I’ve wanted one for years. I just don’t ever use more than one computer at a time, except maybe at work, and I have all the computers I’d ever want at work.
It’s people like me who’d rather buy an eeePC for $600 than spend a couple grand on a [...]

Startup Error In Windows XP SP2

Sup guys thought I’d ask if you guys knew what was going on with my laptop. Since yesterday my computer has been unable to boot completely. It’ll go to a blue screen that says STOP 0.0000007 (0XC0000087 etc…). Well I went into safe mode and pulled up my event viewer and [...]

Program that shows files as blocks??

Someone posted a program once that showed all the files on the hard drive as different sized blocks (diff colors too!). It helped a lot when it came down to deleted junk and giant files since you could visually see the sizes of everything.
I don’t remember the program’s name though. Anyone know what [...]

GeForce 8800 GT 512MB v. How much power does it need?

I just bought a GeForce 8800 GT 512MB 256-bit GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Supported Video Card off new egg listed here,
I was just wondering if anyone knew if a 450Watt PS could handle it or will I see a decrease in the cards performance?
I have an ATI Radeon x1650 pro right [...]

Performance difference?

Intel Core 2 Duo T5750 (2Ghz/667Mhz FSB/2MB Cache)
vs
Intel Core 2 Duo T8100 (2.1Ghz/800Mhz FSB/3MB Cache)

I know one is clearly better than the other, but would I notice a difference? Is it worth an additional $125 on the price of a computer?

Obviously. Trying to cut a few costs. I’m already splurging for the [...]

Who is the BEST Flash designer on internets?

Seriously, whats your favorite flashy thing on webs and who did it? I am looking for the best flash guy available.Personally, I despise websites built solely in Flash. Having it in small portions is fine, but it’s obnoxious when you go overboard.

Absolutely agreed. I’m looking for someone who can make whoop ass [...]
