But is there a way to at least have Windows not try to auto-detect the adapter as a generic USB/LPT adapter and mess up the printers in the list if the printer hasn't fully booted up yet? That said, I'm not sure why using 2 network adapters was being problematic earlier, but right now I'm on...

My printer is an HP 4050. No USB port, so my options are ethernet or USB. However, my router is an old, finicky 802.11g unit (bottlenecks the internet noticeably), and since I live in a dorm, I don't actually need a router at all. The upside to using a router is that I can set a static IP for...

I get the feeling this is meant to be a server board, not a consumer-level one. Gigabit in consumer products is over a decade old, come on guys, why not work on getting 10gige in consumer products?

Actually, phones with LTE have SIM cards. (even the ones that are also CDMA, Verizon included)

FWIW, I went to NYC several months ago, and the hotel I was staying in didn't have free wifi in the rooms. Certainly, they did in the lobby, and there are plenty of coffee shops nearby with it, but for the sake of convenience I tethered off my phone instead. I can see why she might have...

"The Best Camera Is The One That's With You" My phone's camera has been useful several times in a pinch, even though the quality sucks, and I usually bring a separate camera if I think I'll be taking pictures. It's more convenient as well - if my phone's camera were good enough (unfortunately...

Considering the kinds of techniques they have to use to cram that many pixels in, I don't think more pixels are necessarily a good thing. The megapixel race has been going on for years now, and it hasn't resulted in much good. A better idea would be to have fewer pixels, but make them quality...

I would've liked to see one of those 2560x1440 or higher touchscreens, but still, I like the direction they're going in here.

Kicksterter? Looks like a typo...

Here's what I've found with the AMOLED screen on my Galaxy Nexus - black levels are great, and it's more power efficient, but colors on those screens can be oversaturated (depends on how it's calibrated), and the screen wears unevenly - if I rotate my phone (which I rarely do), the left...

FYI, with all the talk about 1TB drives needing RAID0 to get around 512GB controller limits and the potential lack of TRIM there, one guy mentioned the OCZ Colossus (1TB), which apparently DOES have TRIM.

So why don't they just sell the S2 or S3 at a discount for those purposes then? Phones like this that are meant to be low-end from the start are just stupid IMO.

You can't have any line breaks if you post from the article side. (if you track down the article in the forums and post, it works fine) What the hell toms?

They even have an instructional video on lending games: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kWSIFh8ICaA

"but has a limit of 500 mA which, while it is faster than a USB port of your computer, it has four times less power than the cable can get from a wall socket (nearly 2 A)." Not quite - most computer USB 2.0 ports are exactly 500mA. Phones tend to pull 1A from wall chargers, and tablets 2A. (USB...
