Why kill the marlin and mahi-mahi? Especially when they grow so big, they can't be very tasty huh (atleast to my preferences in scandinavian sport fishing)? I'm not saying i'm against it completely, i've fished since 5 and practiced c&r since 12-ish... Once in a while i'll keep one or two, but not if they're adults (pisses me off that so many in my country kills 1+kg pearch and +2kg pikes, since it goes many small ones on them (and 100's on 10+kg pikes)). And last year there were some worrying reports that the ph-value had started to go down in our lakes, been at good levels since 1990 (due to the warming of our planet). But i guess oceans (yet) aren't affected by this... And maybe i should keep my mouth shut since i don't know how good or bad the fish swarms are in your area. But pretty cool technique you use tho. Non picture post in a picture post thread!

Windows Internet Explorer 8
Download IE pro (works with 8 too) - http://www.ie7pro.com/ and install. Open up IE: Tools - IE7Pro preferences - Settings - unbock: open tab from adress field (you might aswell unbock them i all, i find it annoying to get everything in a new tab).

Cheapest place to buy nVidia 8600 GT
8800GT is also outdated :roll: 9800GT too in that aspect =)

What is this?
Cache folder for RS. Enables you to load locations etc faster. No. Yes, but once you delete it you'll have to load everything again, making it slower for you. If 86mb is important to you, buy a new harddrive or delete some stuff.

Cheapest place to buy nVidia 8600 GT
I have one laying around here, want it? GTX295 is the best card you can currently get... If you really want one (if you live in Russia, sorry for this american site) EVGA 8600gt, 256mb, ddr2 - 50$ Otherwise you have the 9500gt, which performs a bit better than 8600gt MSI 9500gt, 512mb, ddr3 - 45$ after rebate I'd go for the 9500gt... If you aren't really in love with the 8600gt. Otherwise you have the 4670, which runs around 8600/9500gt in circles, and offers very good frame rates for it's price Powercolor 4670, 512mb, ddr3 - 55$ after rebate If you like Nvidia, 9500gt or pay higher price for a better card. Otherwise i say go for a 4670. Btw, what's your psu specs? (not that any of these card are power hungry, but good to know)

Component suggestions for this build?
Lower noice is always nice... If you don't want the one i posted, go for something like this: Rosewill cooler (pwm) - 25$ Even cheaper Rosewill cooler (pwm) - 20$ I can't say you'll enjoy your Intel fan.

Windows Internet Explorer 8
I actually find it slower than IE7. It works good, but nothing special about it... I wish they had done some work on the interface too. Good thing tho is it's more compatible with web standards then previous browsers. I will say, that even if you don't use IE, download this latest version (i for example uses Opera), as you can always hope that it will cover a couple of security holes.

Danger Will Robinson! (The do's and dont's in computing)
On the outside it's ok. But don't use it while cleaning inside yor computer, if you'd manage to touch a component, chances are it would get fried. Just because you've been fine so far doesn't mean it's gonna be a stroll in the park for ever. I really advice on a can of compressed air.

Component suggestions for this build?
Damn, the cpu cooler i was gonna suggest isn't availble in USA. No fancy links, takes too much time with one hand (burned 3 fingers on right hand earlier today lol). Cooler - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6835233003 Mobo is atx so you'll need a case that takes atx. Antec 300 - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... ntec%20300 , low price good cooling CM Centurion - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6811119068 P180/2, Sonata are really nice but more expensive. Gpu... Midrange? 9800gt/4830 or 9800gtx+/4850. Pick the cheapest one with an aftermarket cooler is my advice. WD Caviar - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6822136319 (+sata cable) Samsung optical - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6827151173 (+sata cable) OCZ 500w - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6817341016 (great price after rebate, even modular!)

Hex value - Resolution, Tiger Woods PGA Tour 06
Hi. I hope that someone here will be able to answer this (i guess one of you programmers?). I've reinstalled TW 06, as TW10 comes this summer. Now to the question, the game officially only supports resolutions up to 1280x1024, while my screen is 1440x900. I've found this topic: http://www.widescreengamingforum.com/fo ... php?t=1681 But as the poster and replies neither deals with 1440x900 i would need someone here to do it for me (i'm asking nicely)... And yes, i've searched the net - but didn't find an answer. As seen in the thread: 02 00 05 00 00 C7 00 00 04 00 00 C3 8B 4C 24 08 8B and overwrite it with this: 02 90 06 00 00 C7 00 1A 04 00 00 C3 8B 4C 24 08 8B This changes from 1280x1024 to 1680x1050. I would like to know what numbers i should put instead of the above for 1440x900. I've tried the calculator; dec 1280 = hex 500, dec 1024 = hex 400 Since i know NOTHING about this stuff i don't like the missing last number. For my resolution; dec 1440 = hex 5A0, dec 900 = hex 384 Could someone tell me how to put my resolution (+1 more number i guess?) in the line 02 00 05 00 00 C7 00 00 04 00 00 C3 8B 4C 24 08 8B I'm very thankfull for any replies. And yes, i've backed up the .dll.

Help with CPU power connectors
Yes, it's one cable, but most come 4+4 splitter for flexability (as 20+4). I have no idea what those codes mean, since i don't know your motherboard model. First, check in the manual for the mobo if there any explanations for the codes. Secondly, go to your manufacturers homepage, or search on the web. I mean it could be anything, bad ram/graphics card etc...

Quitting Smoking.
I don't smoke, but i use product called "snus"... Which is even worse in nicotine aspect (4-16mg per "portion"). Been using it for 6years (6+6months off). I've found that using less and less per day is easier. Say you take a 2-4 weeks (one week is too hard), take one less every 2nd day (you'll find what works best for you), and when you are down to 1-2 per day... Do that for a few days and then quit. I guess (if you don't want to gain alot of weight), chewing gum or eating fruits are good. All i can say, good luck!

Help with CPU power connectors
I understand it as the ATX12V connector is splitted? Just connect them together with the little clip and connect to the mobo. Otherwise do as pryo said, use a molex cable.

Different CPU names on the same computer?
Lol, i've never seen that. My only advice is to contact Intel or Microsoft http://support.microsoft.com/ http://support.intel.com/

New comp, need help suggestions still need help 20/03/09
Graphics processing unit. Your pc might be 3 days old, and yes Nvidia is a good brand, but the graphics chip is too weak. I.E., it doesn't have enough power to play a game like COD4 at a decent frame rate. The chip is about 20months old (7900gtx is even older (march 06) but is much more powerful and still able to play new games at a decent fps). So, if you had planned to play COD4 and other games, your only choice is a new graphics card. Otherwise, you won't have to do anything.

Periodic Table - How Many Can You Name?
Only 10? Even if you've never owned a Nintendo console you should be able to get more than 10! Yes. As i said, i remember a few more faces but not their names. I've never been really into console gaming.

RSHD won't be a problem, and some older games should be playable too on lower resolution. The biggest problem is your gpu, it's too weak for any new games. So if you'd like to play some newer games, a new graphics card is your only choice.

Periodic Table - How Many Can You Name?
There seemed to be many Nintendo characters, a console which i've never owned. I could name 10 lol. I reconize a few more, but can't remember their names.

(XP)Start - controlpanel - user accounts - change an account - you - create a password. Vista - same principal. Could you tell me what components you got? 2.5ghz dual, 512mb graphics card doesn't tell me much. Tell me the names of them. (start button+r - "dxdiag" - copy what it says at system - cpu, screen - name).

Things that annoy the hell out of you
My family annoys me. Every [bleep]ing day: Sis watching tv 2-4h a day, i ask her if she wants any dinner - she barely says a word (if she does, very quietly), then i ask her to speak louder - she gets pissed. I therefor end up not making any food for her, and then, 30min later she is pissed off at me for not making any dinner. Well, speak up! And every [bleep]ing single day, all my dad and sis talks about is school and training (excersise). Always constantly talking about how much they are jogging, about school and math and crap. And if my mom says anything, well, again it's about school! And then my mom ends up asking me "why do you never speak?"... Why should i? If i try to speak about history or anything, dad like "mhm"... Intrest level - -10. So, why should i speak? I'm fed up hearing about training, math, physics etc. And noone is intrested in what i've got to say, so i don't speak. Oh and like just 20min ago: Mom comes home, complaints that there are dish and that it "looks like it's more than when i left". Yes thank you. It's not like i've put my dishes in the dishwasher, nono... It's ME who've put all the dish into the sink... Thank you. And another thing, if there's a problem with their computer - they always demand me to come and sort it out. But f me if i ask them to come and take look at something, either they come after 5min or not at all. And i'm getting [bleep]ing pissed the three of them, because of their "health freakness". Always [bleep]ing low fat food and crap. I [bleep]ing hate it, it tastes NADA! So, i have therefor since a couple of years started to write down on the shopping list "fatter food" (not pizza and burgers), like instead of a 10% fat sausage, i take 17% instead. And before you ask if i'm fat, no not really. And before you say "move out", yes i should be moving out, but the job situation here is really bad atm.
