    Show us your kitty cats

    I'm asking a question for a friend. She got a cat a few months ago, who was a stray. The vets believe she is about 18 months old. She is a very cautious and scared of new people. Even though she has access to the outside, she prefer to stay indoor. She was wondering if it would be a good idea...

    Replacement card for a GTX 770

    I've got a PC with a GTX 770 that has given up the ghost. The card itself is a Gigabyte GV-N770OC-2GD. I'm looking for a card with similar specs/price. Any ideas on what I can use instead? Since I can't get the same model anymore.

    Replacement for a Corsair RM650

    I've got a PC with a Corsair RM650 that needs replacing. I've looked around and I can't find anyone selling these new, can anyone recommend a replacement? Ideally I'm looking for the same sort of PSU, modular so that hopefully I can plug in the existing wiring, rather then having to strip it all...

    Making an Linux test USB drive

    I already have a USB installer. What I need to know is if a USB with Ubuntu installed on it, can be swapped between different machines. If in the case of just using an installer, can additional programs be installed?

    Making an Linux test USB drive

    I've never really played around with Linux, but recently I had to install Ubuntu for a customer and I was pleasantly surprised by the installer and the ability to try out Ubuntu before installing. At the moment I use a USB stick with Ultimate Boot CD on it to test out machines. But the miniXP...

    Got a bit of a problem with my work machine. Windows is not showing the correct size of folders. I've recently backed up some data, around 200gb, but if I right click on the backup folder and click properties, it says only 792mb. If I use Treesize, it shows the correct size. If I move the data...

    Finding out more about a phone no. - Scammers

    My poor Aunt was distraught this morning, because at 8 o'clock Microsoft called her to say that her machine had been hacked and is being used for illegal activities.

    Got another small problem, nothing major but wondering if people can point me in the right direction. We are using Lan messenger from Sourceforge to send messages to each, but since my network "incident" last night, most people can see each other on the messenger. Any ideas on how to solve...

Put a new user on the server and gave it permission to access the database folder, was all looking good till other people on the network noticed that while they could access the database, they couldn't edit it. I tried taking the...
