My PS3 has a high pitched humming sound - when I play games or watch Blu Ray. I have tried two different HDMI cables. Does anyone know how to fix that hum?<br /><br />Is the hum coming from the TV speakers or the PS3 itself? If the latter, try turning it on its side. If the hum goes away or changes pitch, then I suspect what you&#039;re hearing is simply the motor spinning. The only way to &quot;fix&quot; it would be to move the PS3 further away from your...

I wish I could remember where I found the article that I read, but there was a doctor who commonly used odor as part of his diagnostic procedure. He claimed to be able to tell within moments of entering a patient&#039;s room if they had one of several...

The hyperinflation being seen in Zimbabwe is the result of several things operating in a spiral. Goods become scarce, and the price rises according to the principles of supply and demand. This causes the cost of living to increase, which forces...

The screen says, NTLDR is missing. Another time the screen says, "FAT system32" is missing when using the Windows recovery disc.<br /><br />Some or all of your system files are missing or not accessible. The FAT32 error probably means that you&#039;re trying to install Windows 98 on a disk formatted with the NTFS file system In order to install an OS earlier than Windows2000, you&#039;ll need to repartition and reformat the disc to...

I've looked it up on the internet and it looks really, really complicated. Am I overthinking it or is it as difficult as it looks? (The model is the Enterprise from the show Enterprise.)<br /><br />It&#039;s not really that complicated, although it is difficult. The basic idea is this: spray down your base coat, then mask it all and cut away the parts that you don&#039;t want to remain that first color. Spray your second color and then add masking to all the areas you do want to remain...

I (an American) prefer British spellings for many words, also. They just look more correct to my eye. I do reserve &quot;theatre&quot; for live stage performances, though.

I knew someone once who wore her Starfleet uniform to church. Definitely a little bit of stigma there, although she didn&#039;t seem to mind. Wearing Spock ears to the premiere of the new Trek movie is borderline.

The origin of this rumor was the erroneous release of an unknown number of $1 George Washington coins without the &quot;In God We Trust&quot; motto last year.

It seems to look best if the crossbeam is about a third of the way from the top of the upright beam and is about two thirds of the length of the upright.

I&#039;d hate to offend anyone just to satisfy my curiosity. I don&#039;t even think I&#039;d mind them trying to convert me, so long as they didn&#039;t get belligerent about it.

TV is wired to the receiver, and plays through the stereo. The DVD hooks to the TV, but only plays through the TV. No more receiver inputs. Can an input be shared ? Other ideas?<br /><br />You can get a simple A/V switch like you&#039;d use with multiple gaming consoles and just leave the video input empty.
