  1. I just upgraded my ram to 3gb now on my desktop. I am also working on putting in a second BFG 7900 GS OC so i can run dual SLI. I am just having the issue of not having a good enough PSU. Apparently I bought a bad one; Thermaltake PurePower 430w. Well it says 430 but is about 350 and also it is a ATX 1.1x with 2.0 connectors so you think its good. So now when I put in the second card it pulled too much on the 12v+ and also is pulling too much over the atx so the second card does not power up or spin the GPU fan. So I have a 600w psu on order.
  2. It is good practice to use multiple tables to sort out big amounts of data. But once you do that it becomes increasingly hard to cross reference the tables. Mysql has a little beautiful command structure that they have added. You can select multiple tables within one sql query. Example of a basic sql query $sql = "SELECT * FROM table WHERE row=1";If you noticed that I selected all of the rows in the table. Normally you will try to not select the entire table from the database unless you absolutely want all of the table. I would recommend against it; just grab the tables that you really need. $sql = "SELECT row FROM table WHERE row=1";Now lets start into where we reference two tables in one query. $sql = "SELECT t1.username t2.email FROM t1.users, t2.profile WHERE username LIKE CONVERT( _utf8 'bob' USING latin1 )";And presto you have multiple table query. You can also use this to delete tables too but I would recommend that you copy the table before running the command because you might not get the result you are looking for. Keep in mind if you do copy the table, it isn't very efficient to copy tables if the tables are huge. You might want to then just take a few tables and put them into a table and then run the command and then see the result because if you are using 4 gb databases you don't want to copy the whole database into another just to see if the command works.
  3. Your Service provider : At&tLocation : Los Angeles ca USAPlan Details : Basic DSLUp speed : 318.46 kbpsDown speed : 1.25 MbpsPromised : 1.5 MbpsReceived : 1.25 MbpsSatisfied : Well the internet works ok but i do wish it was faster. Plus i am paying way too much for it but since i dont have phone service to costs more. I also have problems sometimes where the ATM drops and cant start up a new connection again. Lately it has been running fine so i think they fixed their problem.
  4. This might sound a little geeky but have you heard of Stargate SG-1 and the Asguard. Well they cloned themselves trying to make themselves live longer and be closer to perfect. Also when they cloned themselves they transferred their thoughts and memories to the clone so they could continue their work. In the end they couldnt reproduce any longer because they cloned themselves so much that they no long have reproductive organs. They thought they could remove them to make the process easier. So if we start cloning for the best human we might get ourselves into the same mess. Man it would suck to not be able to make babies. Next example is Gatika (not sure if i spelled it right) in that movie parents could choose what features and intellect of their unborn child. It made a 2 tier society where the god borns couldnt get higher jobs or anything like that. Cloning could be good for body part replacement for people like people needing a heart transplant or lost an arm or leg from war. We would still have issues with people saying that it was alive and had a soul and shouldnt be grown like that. But no issue with stem-cell research mumbo-jumbo.
  5. So i played Dungeons and Dragons 4th Edition last week and found it to be interesting. The totally changed the system around so there wouldnt be anymore soloing campaigns with a wizard that has every spell prepared for any encounter. They have made the base melee classes actually worth playing. Examples: A fight has the abilities to keep the enemy on him and if the enemy tries to get to another player near the fighter gets a free action to attack; also paladins can cast spells on the enemy that slow the enemy and hurt him if he doesnt attack the paladin; and last but not least the warlock can put spells on the enemy that make the enemy take damage each time the warlock takes damage... yes yes any damage. I cant wait until more books start coming out so the game can really take off.What about you what are your thoughts about it?It was fun to play it and wasnt as slow as previous editions.
  6. The thing i like about my psp is that it can play movies and that you can rent them from netflix and stuff. If you can find a psp fat you can mod it and put videos on the memory card. Plus you could games on it as well but that could be stealing if you downloaded them. But if you want to have better battery life and faster loading time you can put your games on the memory card.So in short psp = good;
  7. Like what i said in another post the best massively multiplayer online rpg i have ever played is Ultima Online. It sucks now but back in the day it was great because you could have a house to decorate, pet dragons that kill most things, a mount that fights by you side and can fight better than you, a place where you can have things stolen or steal things from people, and everything in the game that is needed for something can be harvested from something in the game but i dont mean kill mobs to get it.
  8. I think WoW is the winner for many reasons.1: Can be run on more than just windows2: The game runs smooth on any computer3: Oo so shiny4: More players to contact withI do like the fact that i can go to the coffee house with my mac laptop and play wow and have it run beautifully. I have played many massively multiplayer online rpg which includes Ultima Online, Ragnarok, Starwars ... drawing a blnk, Anarchy Online, Everquest 2, and Final Fantasy X but only 2 games made me keep playing for a very long time and those are Ultima Online(until it started to suck) and WoW. And i would love to play a trial of guild wars if they have one.
  9. The thing about getting isos online is you have to make sure you get all of it or it doesnt get corrupted. I just downloaded and installed freeBSD 7 on my computer and it ran great. I do with that they had a dvd iso to download instead of using 3 cds to do the same thing. Another thing you could so would be to get the liveCD version so you can play around with it. The cool thing about the liveCD you dont have to partition your hard drive or put a second hard drive in your computer. You can also setup the installer to download the files needed for install if you want to do a light install of freeBSD then use the ports to get the rest of the software that you need. Hope this helps you a little. Also check out Phlak; it is one of the best liveCDs of linux out there.

  12. Using jump drives is a nice way to if you have a gig or 2 that you want to transfer. I would recommend making back-ups of your files instead of file transfers from computer to computer.
  13. Why can't you use ifconfig built-in to display the ip address. Simple and works great.
  14. Mac has many things that make owning one so great. -Sleep feature on laptops is great and the flashing light when sleeping is like snoring -Resell value is really high. It just like BMWs of computers. My laptop i bought for $1500 is now 1200 and i bought it a year ago -The run on Darwin Core which is a open source version of FreeBSD that has been changed and changed again. With open source core OSs you don't have to worry about memory management problems or things along those lines. -Alway comes with the newest and best technology built-in -Parts have been tested and tested again to last as long as possible. I have noticed that they have changed hard drive manufactures from older models to newer ones. -The displays that come with the systems are extremely high quality. To replace a laptop's display isnt cheap. Lastly I have gone through many PCs but I still have my old laptop from 5 years ago and it still runs like a dream. My wife uses it and has no issues at all.
  15. i would recommend reading up on the t1 t2 commands for mysql. it is in the mysql manuel files. $sql = "SELECT t1.name, t2.location FROM users t1, profiles t2"
