If you copied a page of text then you would&#039;ve been better off saving it as a Text file using the drop-down menu in the &quot;Save...&quot; dialog box. Or you could just open the HTTP file with Firefox....

Very quick and snappy, and gets the job done. If you want to get into the tricky stuff though, Firefox is better (at least at the moment) for it&#039;s add-ons; Chrome&#039;s extensions are VVEERRYY few and the fem that do exist are a bit quirky....

If there isn't enough RAM, how can I find out how much additional RAM a laptop can handle?<br /><br />Since most laptops run either Vista or Windows 7, I would say 2GB is actually the minimum. Windows 7 can actually run on 1GB but needs 2GB to be considered &quot;plenty&quot;. As for Vista.... ANd system sold now with Vista is eligible for an upgrade to Windows 7 and Vista can&#039;t survive...

What would you do?<br /><br />I would recharge the battery. If that didn&#039;t work, then I would hit the RESET button. If that also did not work, well, mine is new enough to be under warranty.

Not the most kick-ass machines overall, but they *are* decent enough and generally clock in at a pretty low price. As for gaming, that really depends on what kind of games.

Well, there are a few out there than get better gas mileage than many 120-150HP cars.

The ability to run applications that are not available for Mac OS X (and there are many) makes it worthwhile.

Or is it the processor?<br /><br />Mostly the GPU/video card. There are many otherwise powerful computers with fast CPUs and lots of RAM that are poor at gaming while there are others with more modest CPUs and less RAM that are actually better at gaming than the allegedly faster non-gaming rig. The difference is mostly in the...

As popular, not really. The only ones that are nearly as popular are specialized to the point where they cannot be considered &quot;extremely similar&quot; while those that are close enough to qualify for that moniker are generally regional.

While MAC addresses are unique, it would be hard to get that info unless they logged onto a public wifi hotspot and then it would be like looking for a needle in a haystack the size of Mt. Everest.

As for ILLEGAL ways, not only do the AB terms of use (as well as basic morality) prevent us from giving you an answer, that would also set you up for a potentially very long prison sentence.

See, Flash is put out by Adobe, not Apple, so Apple won&#039;t allow it. And Java is put out by Sun (who is also not Apple) so similar &quot;logic&quot; applies.

I am trying to find a way to download and story a wiki of a game, as far as I know it has no backups or the likes. (Dwarf Fortress Wiki, see reference) Thanks<br /><br />The short answer is &quot;Yes*&quot;, but but that asterisk means that the truth has conditions. There is a way to download a site using Firefox and a couple of add-ons, but it&#039;s quite tricky to configure, at least tricky enough that if you have to ask if it&#039;s even possible, you...

How do I know if I need a double din or not?<br /><br />Considering how tall a DIN bay is, you can tell pretty easily as long as you have eyesight good enough to drive. A single is 2&quot; high while a double is 4&quot;. Oh, and then some cars have a 1.5DIN (3&quot;) bay. I&#039;ve seen in-dash DVD players in 1-DIN, 1.5-DIN, and 2-DIN so whether...

What is the longest a USB wire can be from my computer to the array? (2012-12-22)<br /><br />You can go 5 meters (about 16 feet) per cable, and a hub every 5 meters will allow you to reach 30 meters. However, putting the array into a Sentry vault is a BAD idea. You need ventilation to avoid overheating the array, not to mention the hassles of running a cable through a vault. Best case...

What sort of vehicle is it? How is it driven? How is that vehicle loaded? Too many variables so I can&#039;t tell you. Whatr I can say is that I&#039;ve seen them last &gt;20 years and I&#039;ve seen them blow in under 2.

A slightly better alternative is to have the recipient sign an NDA (Non-Disclosure Agreement) with *STEEP*...

The wife likes something undistractingly bland at low volume with no bass (she *still* doesn&#039;t understand why subwoofers exist) whereas I like techno and metal loud enough to drown out traffic noises with just enough bass to rattle the rear-view mirror.

Instead the monitor said a cable was not connected. Checked everything...inside and out. Tried again...same noise and not booting up!<br /><br />Different motherboards have different &quot;beep codes&quot; depending on who made the BIOS. I don&#039;t remember what one long, steady beep is since most errors I&#039;ve had have been other kinds and therefore different beep patterns. A rapid series of beeps is often a keyboard error and...

Think it is the Green answer?<br /><br />Unfortunately, Ford may be right about this one. We Americans don&#039;t like anything that has a passenger cabin small enough for the passengers to touch each other, are willing to sacrifice handling so that we don&#039;t have to feel the road (VERY dangerous in bad weather when you actually...

Say a residential neighborhood street, the residents posted their own speed limit (5 MPH), are motorists obliged to obey it? Have you ever tried to drive 5 MPH or lower? I can walk that fast!<br /><br />If it wasn&#039;t posted by the local government then it isn&#039;t the law. And a speed limit THAT low is unreasonable. Even school zones and playgrounds are often 20MPH zones. Personally, I would sit there, clock residents, and hand them tickets the instant they hit 6MPH. Then again, I...

If the radiator, thermostat, and water pump all work then the only thing left is problems INSIDE the engine. And if it&#039;s been overheated badly and/or often then things are likely warped by now and...

What does that mean?<br /><br />Without knowing anything about what type of car you have, like if you have a carburetor or fuel injection, all I can say is that the fuel/air ratio isn&#039;t right. The possible causes of this can vary quite a bit though; most things that would make my car do it would involve stuff your car...

If it&#039;s worse (or only present) when turning then it&#039;s more likely the outer ones. Or is it a sound from the engine itself? Something that happens when the engine is running and the car is at a stop?

It&#039;s sad that the pro-lifers have tried to demonize us pro-choicers as people who sacrifice babies to the dark powers.

If I buy another barn, will it be full already?<br /><br />Are you sure that the shed wasn&#039;t *replaced* by the barn? What I mean is that is isn&#039;t exactly a new building, it just added space without changing anything else.

I generally go for a mid-range rain tire when I have the $$$ to do so, and that runs me about $300-350 for a set of four. If you go cheap and find a garage with low rates, you can get new tires mounted and balanced for about $120, but you&#039;ll wind up with less traction...

Generally once a file is deleted from a Flash storage device, it&#039;s gone. And once you format it, it not only deletes the files, it generally deletes any memory of ever having had those files; it SUPER-deletes them.

It is possible that when you are running on battery power, the wifi adapter turns down the power on the transmitter in order to keep it from sucking your battery down quickly.

The transceiver for a wireless mouse only transmits about 3 feet or so, so the power requirements on that end are small. You could save more battery life by turning the backlight on your LCD down one notch....

I read it only supports officially up to 4GB but im just curious. TY!<br /><br />Likely not, and I doubt it *actually* supports a 4GB card. 1GB and 2GB cards are Micro-SD whereas 4GB and 8GB cards are Micro-SDHC. That HC part is what prevents 4GB cards from working on a Samsung Trance even though they are officially supported.
