So today my mom was checking her email and she got an email from ebay saying that someone was using her account to make fake bids. So they had this thing where you click the link and sign in.... However; My mom doesnt have that email setup for her ebay account The page wasnt secure, when you log on ebay you get a secure page ( usually has a lock or yellow web address) I also noticed that when she clicked it went to over-amatures.com, I think its some porn site . Then it went to ebay sign in. That right there made me say, woah, thats not legit. I guess they want you to log in and get your username and password. It looked really legit. Luciky my mom called me and told me th…

I search on PirateBay, seems like a good site. Find the torrent. Got a bunch of seeds, got a couple leechers or whatever they're called. Click on it, Azureus opens up. Save it to the desktop or whatever folder I want the file(s) in. Minute or two later the thing starts downloading. Downloading slowly. I had one file go at 150kb/s for a minute or two, then went down to 80kb/s or so. If I were to take an average of all speeds I've seen since I started using this I'd imagine that it would be around 30kb/s. Sometimes around 45kb/s, sometimes around 17kb/s, sometimes around 12kb/s. No other internet programs running, only downloading one file at a time. The only fast down…

I wanted to share this with you guys, it was posted by a guy on my forum and I think is very important especially since we are all using computers and the internet.

Me = n00b. Download music videos. Burn on DVD disc. Watch on DVD player. Possible? Or does it not work like that? (IE: need one large file on a DVD?)

i just got a new phone finally. its a LG VX5200. i was just wondering if there was any way that i could make my own ringtones using the music i have on my computer. i hope, i dont really want to pay $3.00 for a 30 second ringtone.

I found it ironic, as my ink warning just popped up a few days ago, then I found this. anyhow: I trust that You guys know that I would not spam You guys. So, I ask that: If You need $30 worth of printer ink asap, or are simply running low and should reorder soon, then I ask that You do it through the InkBlvd deal through my referral link (again: http://xbox360s.freepay.com/?r=22740106 ). Yep, i signed up for a free Xbox from one of the few Proven FreePayStuff programs. Figured, it can't hurt. I need 8 folks to go in by my referral. http://xbox360s.freepay.com/?r=22740106 Thanks gents!

anyone know where i can find the following mouse pads? my wife thinks i'm joking, but my current mouse pad is wearing very thin! it's time for a new one, and these are hot! i'm off to ebay as i post... wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

So I finally got a dvd writable drive that is of this generation... Using Nero Vison Express 2 to try and burn down a few movies that I've DL'd. My concern is that it's slated to take 2+ hours to burn xxxx.divx down to a DVD disc. Nero is handling the format conversion, but 2 hours? I've been Googling, and I've found this converter... Would this be worth a shot? Otherwise, wtf am I missing? I used to be able to burn down a DVD in <15 minutes. Thanks

0 dB Tones -3 dB Tones -6 dB Tones -10 dB Tones 1 Hz - 100 Hz Tones If you don't have a Bittorrent client, I recommend Azureus - http://azureus.sourceforge.net/ You will need WinRAR to extract the files - http://www.rarlabs.com/rar/wrar350.exe Please seed these files for your fellow car audio enthusiasts.

ok---i will be quick about this---I have a few tracks I wanna burn---I put a blank CD in the CD writer----and I am using Music Match----and it says "put a blank disk in"------I do and it keeps saying that-------it is really annoying.-----------HELP!!! I am using all new disks also. PS----i never said I was the CPU Guru

I'm computer retarded. Soooo right now I'm assuming that isn't the best. Should be three pics.

Post your typical download speed and what you use to download. NewsBin Pro - 500-640 KB/s (usually upper-500s)

http://jmac.realmofexcursion.com/ I recommend you download the .rar package (contains all 74 tones) as it's only like 2-4x larger than a single tone. To unpack the .rar package, you'll need something like WinRAR - http://www.rarlabs.com/download.htm

New system. Basically just a fileserver. I'm running into a problem that has me beat. With no app's running windows will flash a BSoD then auto-reboot. Mind You, this is with no app's running, just the standard 30 something processes (ugh). No particular time interval or anything. There is plenty of airflow, not much heat anyhow.

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.

ok today i am going all thru our computer just looking for stuff i can delete to free up some space and i just ran into the e-mail accounts. my parents recently got a divorce and after that my mom got DSL. well our new e-mail with our dsl server works just fine, it is thru outlook express. well i found our old e-mail account but our new account is not there. i would just delete it but our new account is not there so i dont want to screw anything up. what can i do? if i wasnt very clear just ask me to explain better. thanks

I found desktopX 3.1, then started downloading themes, now I have my Dell looking like my G4

I'm running Norton right now ... time to renew the subscription this weekend but I won't fork out money for that. Anyone recommend anything else? I'm running ... yeah, forget the name of it on my other computer - little red 'V' inside of blue and white shield (McAfee? I don't know) ... seems to work fine. Suggestions please. Norton has worked fine in the past, I just want something free.

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…

I am clueless as to why this happened

anyone want to help a brother out? right now all I have uploaded is the white album and help, most of my beatles are on vynl, and I dont want to deal with the mess of going from an EP to MP3

i thought maybe you guys could help me with this. it is in the first deuce bigalow. it is where deuce goes to the club and gets a martini and a cranberry juice and he sits down with the girl in the blue dress. i think her name was claire. just as they are getting ready to leave a song starts. its a 90's rock song, sounds kinda like weezer or something, and im pretty sure it was kinda popular back in the day. the only words i can think of is it says "the writings on the wall". thanks for any help
