Ok, so the old man just got connected to xbox live today . Played a couple of games, (burnout, forza, and guitar hero). How do I get world rankings. My ranking is just a - on the screen. Also, how and the hell can I play Guitar Hero online. I know these may sound like dumb questions, but you have to remember that it wasn't till college that computers got integrated into the classroom. HELP!! I'm trying to catch up with the youth. Thanks.

Well we have one for XBOX Live, why not for those of us with PS3's? Mine is: BigEDawg I reallly only play call of duty 4 online at the moment.

I need to pick up several Android tablets for work and need to use Verizon as my 4G carrier. Curious if some of you guys have experience with any and what to look for. I have 3 IPads at home so I am not familiar with the Androids. Use will be a large App type program installed that will run instant GPS location and info sharing and be linked via internet off software I control from home of office. Pretty neat shit... (thats my technical term) I have seen good and bad reviews about the Samsung's? I am trying to keep cost per unit to under 400 each.

Projector 1- 720p native, 1080p capable input signal. 2000 Lumens 3000:1 contrast Price - 750 Projector 2- 1080p native 1100 Lumens 14000:1 contrast Price - 1350 Condition- Both screens can project a 96" image I want onto my white painted drywall, no screen! No other lighting can tamper with the viewing area. Viewing distance is 10 ft away. I DO watch 1080p video but only on a 720p native 51" rear projection TV. I have only watched 1080 natively on my 22" lcd. I love the quality of the 720 but am undecided on which to go with. On my white wall, is projector 1 strong enough to display quality imaging? Will 1080p be better looking than 720 on 96" image 10ft away? These are …

Well, the other day my HDD took a crap on me. Here's the story; I was home trying to play some Yahoo! Pool (I'm addicted to it), and then my PC started doing this thing where everytime I tried to access the 'net (via either IE or Mozilla), it would automatically reboot my PC and/or freeze up. Well, I finally got tired of dicking with it one time when it froze up, so I went to shut it off at the power strip. Only, when I went to shut it off, my hand slipped and I shut it off/on/off really fast (turned it back on before it had completely powered down, then shut it off before it completely powered back up). And now when I try to use that harddrive, the PC will physicall…

How do I turn this feature off? Every morning when I go to check my e-mail on Outlook Express, down in the bottom right hand corner the AVG logo thing starts spinning and a box pops up saying "AutoPOP3: Connecting to pop.telusplanet.net" ... Telus is my service provider. It takes five, six, seven minutes + in order to get my e-mails sometimes. So obviously I'd love to be able to turn this feature off. Seems to me like AVG is more of a PITA then Norton so far ... but Norton did catch something that AVG didn't catch even with three days of no updates.

a friend of mine who Dj's made this little dubstep mix http://soundcloud.com/deejayzeroe/newyearsdubstepmix?utm_source=soundcloud&utm_campaign=share&utm_me He always has other mixes on there I believe check him out!

Free music but You cant download the songs, i'm workin on a way around it. I can only think of listenin to the song and copyin it with goldwave. Great for just chillin on the computer though.

Hey all - I'm looking for a wireless card that's reasonably priced that has an external antenna connector - I've got a 60cm dish doing nothing that would make a perfect Wifi link to the campus network, if I built a patch feed for it. All the cards I've seen that do this and fit in laptops are over $100, anything cheaper out there? Thanks.

This thing seems to have a ton going for it and at a nutty price. My Toshiba Qosimio beast is giving me some issues and is not all that portable. Where as this one is light weight and very sleek with 75% the capabilities. http://www.geeks.com/details.asp?invtid=RU-209-201-0004&cat=NBB

I'm sure most of you know that the Decaf music can be downloaded at Ram-Designs.com, but that's only the new music he re did. If anybody wants the old music I have Zips 1-32 before he took those down. There's a lot of songs that he deleted from the new music. A lot of good music like bass ballin', Slow Decaf in the hurse, Magic by Future and more. I don't know if there's anyway I can share it with people online. But if anyone wants to send me a usb or anything like that I will put all the music on that. Also I guess if anyone trusts me, you can send me your ipod and I can put all the music on that too. On his new zips, and the songs I liked from his old ones, I went ahe…

i am looking for the brand and model of a computer case the only picture i could find was of one with steve meads logo on the side just looking for a plain one though

In this thread anyone can post a link or anything else, to a song he/she would like to know. First give a try to www.midomi.com and see if it finds it for you. Then Google search part of the lyrics + "lyrics". If that fails I guess you come here and ask.

Good Stuff. its just hte lead singer, mixed beats, and produced by Jay-Z. Bass lines are AWSOME. they absolutely kill in the Ava18...not in the Lil-John or Young Geezy way. Classical music way. Low and punchey. They have given me something to show people how well large speakers can produce punchey fast lines that isnt classical or techno. so far my two favorite are "Where'd you Go" and "Remember the Name" out of 5.

For anyone that plays computer games, what are the computer games that you currently are playing? Right now I am playing Command and Conquer Generals: Zero Hour, and also World of Warcraft Beta version, goes live on Nov 17th. Also what kind of cpu do u guys use for gaming? Im considering buying another cpu for my gaming and whatnot.

Alright, so I'm in the market for a large capacity portable music player (atleast 80GB+). I would like for the player to be FLAC compatible and also be able to hook it up to a headunit like the Alpine W205/W505. I really have no bias on players and have no problem considering an Ipod. This will be used mostly in my truck and maybe every now and then around the house when I need to be quiet or plug the headphone jack into whatever system might be available at the time.

Usually nobody responds.... I could use a tower to connect to my TV so I dont have to do this from my phone all the time. I am no guru.....Just music and web but itd be cool to have something custom looking. If youd trade audio for something youve built or can help me piece something together I could grasp assembling something while guided. just throwin it out there... thanks

I've just added a *whole* bunch of good quality MP3's...enough that it's impossible to simply have them all on one list. Besides, I'd like to organize and be able to play my collection by album, or assorted tracks for songs that I don't have the whole album for or one-offs. I use Winamp currently, but I'm just wondering what you guys play your MP3 files with, and how you have them organized.

would like to have one for SSA, but do not remember how to set it up

I've got an email with an .xls attachment, but it's not the usual attachment which you can download. It looks like it's "embedded" in the email. I tried to save it as text and open it with excel, but it doesn't work Anyone know how I can download it ?
