Buffy ,'Help'
Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!
The only question remains is why HP would bundle this piece of shit software on their computers in the first place.
I have an opinion. Mostly to do with the quality of HP overall. This doesn't really surprise me.
What should I be looking at? Or is this just what I should expect?
sumi, are there a lot of things that are loading, like in the bottom right-hand corner of your taskbar, when you start the computer? It could simply be a lot of processes running continuously from startup to shutdown.
But why was it working before?
But I will take a look at what's in the start up and take out a few things.
Can anyone recommend simple, web-based software for scheduling resources, like group study rooms in a library? Open-source would be great, but they might be willing to pay to purchase something if it was a good fit. Alternately, is this something that would be easy for a decent coder to write for us?
There's ORS [link] with the disclaimer that I know nothing about it beyond the fact that it's on the first page of google results.
Also, this sounds familiar somehow....
UNEASYsilence is proud to announce the release of ToasterClone - the classic flying toasters screensaver raised from the ashes, recompiled, and redistributed for your own personal use.
I never got to use the flying toasters back in the day, although I envied those who did....
PC and Mac.
Wow. Just got quite the pang of nostalgia.
Now, if they could make some of the toasters to look like #6...
Safety question. I'm replacing an old wired doorbell with a wireless one. I can snip the old live wires (with rubber handled snips, one at a time) so I have foreshortened live wires in the hold, then cover with the plate of the new doorbell (which uses a battery). Is this safe? The unconnected live wires are basically what a socket is yes?

My boss (who used to be an electronics engineer) says that this is fine, except that you should cap off the live wires.
Doorbells are low-voltage wiring, so there shouldn't be a problem. You might want to tape the ends or put on those wire end things. To be perfectly safe, you can always take the wires off the transformer.
