Removable HDD problem
well ya, if it was mac formatted and you plugged it into a pc it would not show up. If you want to see if the drive works at all, try downloading Macdrive. Its not freeware, but the trial time should be enough for you to figure out what exactly is wrong.

Laptop Hard Drive
The connectors on laptop hard drives are essentially identical to desktop hard drives, but the drive is phisically smaller, at 2.5 inches, so you will need to pick up a hard drive made specifically for laptops. As far as connectors go, laptop hard drives use either a standard PATA (ribbon cable) or SATA 150 cable (small red one). In your case, the hard drive is SATA. As far as brands go, any large one like Hitachi, Samsung, Western digital or Seagate is good. If you live in the US, this drive would be exactly what you are looking for: 250GB, Western Digital hard drive running at 5400 RPM The 200GB drives running at 5400 RPM are not really much cheaper then the 250GB ones, so its not really worth buying. If your looking for performance, This Hard drive runs at 7200 RPM which means faster windows load up times, program load times ETC but it's more expensive. What it comes down to is your choice.

how strict are other forums you frequent?
The only other forum I read on a regular basis is 4chan, which, as you all know, has VERY few rules, save for posting certain forms of child porn.

It looks like the completed logo will look like a lion, judging from the first two pictures.

House overwhelmingly approves "Offensive Images" bill
Wait, so you can't actually read your OWN laws? Pretty serious contradiction with the rule of law there, that is one seriously fudged up system #-o . The government is required to post the text of all laws in such a way that it be open to the general public. If you want to read the exact text of the law, try the library of congress.

Keyboard Problems...
Try putting the model number of the computer into google, if you haven't already. It sounds like you have a defective keyboard.

help on upgrading the RAm on my samsung r40
well, assuming your RAM is ddr2, then yes the sticks can go in the same slots that the old RAM went. However if the Ram is DDR or some other type of RAM it will not work. To find the type of RAM your computer has, turn off your computer and turn it back on again. Before it boots into windows, there should be a simple page that has a logo on it - probably a samsung one in your case. Someone on that screen it should say something like "press F2 to enter setup." Hit F2, and the page you will be in should detail the type of RAM your computer uses. I'm positive there's a simpler way to tell what kind of RAM your computer has in it, but I'm too tired to think of it.

HELP!
WOW! I just had this problem myself today. Go to http://tinyempire.com/notes/ntldrismissing.htm and follow the instructions there. It shouldnt require a re installation of the OS in most situations. I used an external usb floppy drive and the floppy solution method mentioned on the site.

Help with Spyware/Virus
Well, you definitely have some form of malware on your computer. Try downloading Avast! Antivirus and running it. In addition. you should also download and run Ad-aware SE personal. Spybot catches a lot of things, but most people recommend you use both spybot and ad aware to catch everything. As far as AVG goes, I have always used Avast! so I cannot comment on its effectiveness. Whatever it is, these programs should take care of it.

Staffs? Need Response ASAP
Im pretty sure Silverion is the owner of tipit, so I suppose you could also call him the top administrator and moderator, but really, the tipit staff is a team, so there is no clear chain of command.

Chaos Elemental Hints toward Summoning?
could the sudoku puzzle be a map? The drawn in symbols look quite a bit like the mos le harmless / harmony island area.

What is your dream computer?
Just a 1KW PSU? I believe that a 8800 requires about 300 Watts just to power itself, I guess the 2900XT's are roughly the same. And for four of them you'd be looking at about 1.2KW, just to power the Graphics Cards alone. You'd probably need a 2KW PSU just to be on the safe side. Lol! A 2kW PSU? IIRC those don't even exist for PC's. The most you will EVER need is, honestly, an 800-900w PSU. They don't even make 2kw PSU's. The biggest ones out there run around 1.6kw.

web page download--offline browsing (quesiton)
You mean working offline by reading webpages? I believe there is a feature that does just that in internet explorer.

the thingy?
Its probably exactly what the mod said - an easter egg. As far as what I would pay, as long as it was the only one sold, upwards of 1 billion gp. a true 1 of a kind item would be priceless.

Graphics Card Problems
It sounds like the card is completely shutting down rather then just locking up (A quick search on google seemed to suggest that a lack of power coming from the AGP slot is the problem). First, run through these steps (this should eliminate most possible causes) 1. Download speedfan (here) and post a screenshot of the results (under load) here - high temperatures might be causing your problem 2 try reseating the card (its unlikely, but possible) 3. Make SURE you download the newest drivers. Its the most likely cause of the problems. Its entirely possible you just got a bad card, which under certain circumstances produces errors. In that case, It would probably be best to just return it and exchange it with a new one.

My bike is fixed :)
Is your friend going to sue the driver of the car? that sounds like a textbook negligence case. All I can say to you is that it was VERY smart to wear proper padding. Without a helmet or the padding, you could have easily gotten killed.
