So I think my hard drive is corrupted. I think I have the recovery discs at home, but if I have to take it into a shop, any recs?
Dawn: I thought you were adequate. Giles: And the accolades keep pouring in. I'd best take my leave before my head swells any larger. Good night.

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!

I have a 3GS iPhone. I would like a nice case for it - preferably hard (not soft), and preferably transparent (I got black for a REASON, folks).
Recommendations? And if your rec falls outsides my prefs, go ahead and say - I'm not married to them.

Any recs for a free sound editor program? Nothing fancy, just have a file with some extraneous stuff at the end of it that I'd like to shorten. no big.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir
For iPhone, I have the orignal version of this: [link] It looks like they have added velcro, which I am not a fan of, as it makes noise (bad when you are working theater).
For free audio program, I'll 2nd Audacity. It can be a little clunky, but that might be due to me knowing what the pro apps are like and wanting those features. It's handy that it's all platforms too.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I am somewhat skeptical of this, but I don't browse foreign-language websites often enough to install this:
The Firefox Universal Translator is a revolutionary new tool that makes browsing foreign language websites as easy as browsing the web today. Once installed, this tool automatically detects foreign language web pages, and will translate them for you. You don’t need to do anything, just open a URL, and if it senses that the page is in another language, it translates it for you.

So one or both of my computer fans appear to be making noise. I couldn't see any wires or anything being hit by the blades, but I can hear that sort of noise that I hear when the computer is using a lot of power because it's copying a lot of files or something. Do fans start sucking after three years? This just started happening yesterday. The noise stopped this morning, and now it's back again.

Clean out the dust bunnies, I bet that will help.

I've had fans go bad plenty of times like that, make noise for awhile then go quiet again. I just try to isolate the bad fan and replace it.
Yeah, try to dust it out first, definitely.
