does anyone have experience with the gigabye 780G boards? how do they handle S3 sleep mode?

i'm looking to upgrade my HTPC...

thanks.

any company that truly wants to be green should adopt the slogan "buy LESS of our crap".... but of course, that's a terrible business model... so instead they market so called green products that are just part of our throw-away economy and don't really do anything to help... instead of buying natura...

i believe this is the fix for your problem:

enjoy!

I found out by accident actually, but smart driving is very low stress driving. You feel like you got there quicker because you're less tired and wound up. This is why drivers that mature (no longer drive like teenagers) all gravitate towards smart driving, only the young, the stubborn, and the one...

the logitech VX revolution has a cool little switch that changes the scroll wheel from the bumpy mode to smooth scrolling. pretty cool.....

the worst is when kids use crummy earphones that aren't rated for that kind of power input... so all they end up hearing (along with everyone else around them) is pure distortion... if you're going to destroy your hearing and annoy everyone else around you, at least get decent earphones/headphones t...

Well I'd need to be convinced that a native English-speaking person is at any dis-advantage if he only speaks the one language. Unless you have frequent dealings with a non-English country or person.....what's the big deal? Learning/speaking English is an advantage for everyone, since it seems to b...

I suppose that's the main reason many (most?) native English-speakers are relatively poor at foreign languages - there's not so much incentive to learn (or at least retain) them when English has become a sort of de facto lingua franca (pardon my Latin). yeah... it's really quite sad that the world ...

Does anyone know of any online services where say you can upload a short mp3 clip of a song that you want ID'd then it will analyze the clip and return the song name or at least a list of possible hits? I'm surprised nothing like this has become mainstream yet. The best resource so far is posting t...

i'm assuming it's just a dell branded PSU made by someone else. who usually makes dell's PSUs? fortron?

so i bought a seasonic S12II-380 last november, and i've been fairly happy with it so far but it's definitely louder than my old, fan-swapped enermax liberty 400W.... anyways, i've just started gaming again lately, and i never really noticed before but this thing is LOUD under load. my kill-a-watt s...

1. 1.55 euro per liter for regular, expected increase to 2 euro (Netherlands). holy crap... i thought $1.35 CAD per litre was a lot for diesel... man. i dunno why people here complain about gas prices. that's insane... i miss the days when diesel was cheaper than premium gas... heck. i miss the day...

mr. poopyhead...... You don't "shoot people in the face" if you want to stop them. It's way too easy to miss such a shot. You aim for the heart......any place even close will stop them dead. And I'm well aware that there are people so poor that nothing they have is worth fighting for...... not free...

Here's (part of) the ad. HA! I like the 'High Prices Don't Stand a CHANCE!' i think the idea is to use the gun to hold up the gas station, hahaha... @vanwa "blame canada!" :P anyways. as long as they're practicing due diligence, i don't see the problem with it. i mean, if some nutjob really wanted ...

Pretty soon, we can just assign everyone a babysitter, script their lives, and oh yeah, see ya in Canada, eh? yes... my life is scripted and boring without guns.... woe is me... :roll: canadians should all get guns and rid ourselves of this oppressive regime. i've never touched a gun in my life and...

europeans have been forced to be efficient for a long time now. look at their cities... well planned, good transit, small cars. it's finally time for north americans too feel the pinch of resource scarcity. are we going to sit around and bitch about it and continue on in our ways, applying band-aid ...

if you want the user-friendliness of ubuntu, but on a tighter hardware budget, you can try xubuntu. it's basically the same as ubuntu, but using the less resource intensive desktop, Xfce.... i tried putting it on an old ultra portable laptop, but surprisingly, it actually ran slower than winxp... i ...

HAHAHA... thanks for finding it for me, mats!

i used to have a program called listmaker that would generate a txt/html file listing all the files in a directory and subdirectories (if desired)... i would use it to generate a text list of all my mp3 files... it would look something like this D:\mp3\OTHER\Tommy_Emmanuel-Dare_To_Be_Different-1990\...

i've always tried to be a fuel efficient driver... looking ahead, timing intersections to avoid braking, etc.. but i've never really calculated my fuel consumption until tonight... this is a fun little webpage: http://www.oee.nrcan.gc.ca/transportation/tools/fuel-trip-calculator/fuel-calculator-inpu...

while i was in france, i saw an ad for a mobile/internet/TV package that included: ADSL2 24Mbps, mobile phone service, HD cable box and a free HDTV all for 29 euro per month... that works out to around $45 CAD. hell, we pay $40 a month JUST for internet in canada. ridiculous... we have such garbage ...

first of all, congrats on making it to six years! hopefully it will be many more. i don't mean to sound negative or anything, cause i love this site... but i have an honest question... what is the benefit of building an anechoic chamber? nobody lives in that kind of environment so if product A is 19...

that's crazy.. it was a high school team entry? wow... very impressive high schoolers.

i dunno if this idea has been brought up before (i'd be surprised if it hasn't)...

but instead of adding to this monstrous thread every day, why don't we start a last.fm group so we can see what each of us is listening to in a more organized way?

The fact that in a midwestern city of 3/4 of a million people, you can live your life and never speak a word of English astounds me and upsets me. I'm glad I took Spanish in school, and I hope my kids do as well, but not to help out someone who lives permanently in a place and is unwilling to speak...
