Lightscribe Drive Fails by
aaaaa
I have two machines, both with OEM Lightscribe LG GH22LS50 BURNER
DRIVEs.
One works just fine - burns DVDs and labels thereon. The other
however, will burn a DVD but is not recognized as a Lightscribe drive.
I have tried to find a driver for the drive, thinking that is the
problem. I can't find...

hex-shaped, not round
Why did Weller, 20 or 30 years ago, stop making its irons with the
six-sided section, just behind the tip. It kept the iron from rolling
off the table.

hard drive damage from heat by
GT[_8_]
I have a friend with a hard drive that has developed bad sectors from
running over max temp for a while (probably the cause). Asuming the heat
problem is fixed, is the drive likely to survive, or will it keep developing
more bad sectors?
Don't need advice about new drives / backups etc - just...

I've been looking for a hopefully-mini remote keyboard/mouse(ball?) to
control video from the room wwhere I watch tv.
I can't really use the RF becausew the limit on all of them seems to
be 30 feet and I'm at that or above it.
So that leaves IR, adn so far it seems the IR receievers all plug...

Question on GPS Sound? by
[email protected]
This is probably dumb. I am a novice when it comes to GPS.
I am considering one of the Garmin units with built-in maps - I like
the 1450T because it is 5".
I am curious about the audio. Is GPS audio built into the units or
do they require bluetooth radio to go with them? My two vehicles...

who knows the Dlink dkvm-8E daisy-chain cable pinouts by

I've got a Dlink 8-port kvm -- dkvm-8E. I'm intended to buy another
dkvm-8E to extend the kvm to a 16-port one. However it's not easy to
find a daisy-chain cable for this kvm.
I notice that the daisy-chain port of this kvm resembles the console
port(console port is the one which connects to a...

ram pc2100 works, pc2700 doesn't by
Mike S
I have an HP ZE5170 2GHz laptop running XP Pro SP3, it came with 2 256MB
ram sticks, and since it supports 1GB I bought 2 512 ram sticks so I can
use the latest versions of FF and Chrome - which are pretty
memory-hungry. When I couldn't find any pc2100 locally I bought pc2700.
It passed a few...

ze5170: would 7200rpm drive be noticeable faster? by
mscir
I have an old ZE5170 that runs great. I bumped up the RAM from 512kb to
1MB - the max it can handle - and it's now fast enough to work well with
the latest FF and Chrome browsers. I don't need a lot of power, it's
used for email, web browsing, writing PHP and Visual Basic, so it's fast
enough...

Dell Optiplex GX60 with Intel 3.0 GHZ CPU? by
[email protected]
My friend emailed me that he just bought a Dell Optiplex GX60 Intel
Tower PC with Intel Dual Core 3.0 GHZ CPU, 2 GB DDR2 memory from
'Woot's merchants'.
I can find no info on such a combo. Anyone have any info?
DELL seems to have discontinued the GX60.
Thanks
