Video Card Instability Hi, For the past two days, my games have been running with a lot of hiccups, sometimes even a 5 second freeze. I have the latest drivers and have physically cleaned up my computer. The weird thing is that these hiccups do not start until about 3 min...

Trigonometric transformations Hi, I can't seem to find a way to transform: tanA + cotA to (cscA)(secA) I keep on doing like.. random stuff. The furthest I get is (I'm not sure I'm going in the right direction...): (sec^2A + csc^2A)/(cscA * secA) Note that sec^2A me...

Regarding electrical shock damage of sort? Ok I'm pissed. I bought a pair of 5.1 headphones for $50. It broke after one day of use, so I returned it. Well, the second one is now also not regonized by Windows. Windows detects it, but it says the device is damaged. It broke right afte...

Rebuilding the Gulf Coast Ok, so we know we will be spending a lot of money rebuilding Katrina, up to 200 billion, but the question I am asking is: Who should this money be entrusted to? Its a lot of money, and, in my opinion, giving it to the federal, state, or local levels...

My camcorder, Windows XP, and I Gah this is really annoying me. Windows doesn't detect my camcorder when I plug it in the USB port. The hardware itself isn't even detected. I have the latest drivers for my camcorder installed, but what's the point if Windows doesn't detect it? Any...

USB headphones I don't really get USB headphones. Do they use a soundcard, motherboard sound, or none at all? I just bought a set, along with a sound card, and I want to know if I just wasted money on the card. Thanks

I don't understand the rating system Ok, I had a rating of 1027 before I posted this thread, which is a Help Wanted thread that followed the format. My rating went down to 1014 without an explanation of what I have done wrong. Now, my rating is a 1009. I'm assuming it was lowered tod...

AMD 64 Has the price of the regular AMD 64's been lowered, since the new X2's are out? I'm thinking about building a new computer, and I don't want to buy a 64 at $200, and have it lowered to $150 the next day. Also, is there any visible differences from...

Firefox and popups Is it just me, or I see more popups getting passed the Firefox popup blocker? Is it because the advertisment companies are finding secret ways, or is the webmaster collaborating with the companies?

Noob Test Well I figured out all these commands before I won: run, walk, get, take read, type , remove, open (finally!). I hate text games.

Your Projects on Linux/BSD A Pong clone I worked on during the summer. Too bad school started... More info here if you're interested. By the way, the source code is available, but I wouldn't look at it. It's probably really bad coding as I am a newb.

Adding a projectile, how calc movement Perhaps you forgot to take positivity and negativity into account? You have to figure out which way the tank is facing first, then set the correct direction (for example: positive in x, negative in y)

Calculator Recommendations Quote:Original post by Way Walker Quote:Original post by kadaf It seems to me that the farther I've been venturing into my (engineering) education, the more and more useless my calculator have become. Things simply get too theoretical to contain an...

Calculator Recommendations Oh man, I hope whatever university I enter let me use my Ti-89, because I am soooo dependent on it now... I don't ever memorize my trig identities and derivative/integral rules because the 89 does it all. Anyway, the Casio FX-115MS is probably a...

People who ban tag and dodgeball suck. When I was in elementary school, we were kinda "encouraged" to play rough. The coaches would always join our dodge ball games, and they throw pretty hard. I got injured several times, but you know what? It made me a better both a athlete and person....

Nerf Guns got cool again. I remember having 10 v. 10 nerf gun wars when I was in 5th grade... It was in a word, epical. The only problem was that we had to keep on buying new darts, which drained our allowence money pretty fast.
