>Unable to delete the last blank page
I have:
-selected everything on the last page and pressed delete
-Selected everything there and pressed backspace
-Chosen the selectable cursor space and pressed delete
-Selected beside the table on the previous page, shown, and pressed delete

What am I missing here?
Thanks!

Try pressing backspace at the end of the second to last page.

When I try the delete the the third column for the second table, it deletes the column in the first table.

I don't want that. I want to delete the third column on the second table. I clicked right click, then delete whole column.

'Cutting' the column doesn't work.
Making the borders white leaves weirdness.

Thank you tech sages.

okay my 1tb external hdd's usb port came unsolder-ed so im looking to buy a sata to usb converter. the hdd is technically a tower hdd not a laptop one so it took external power. my question is how do i tell what size of converter do i need? i have attached a pic of the hdd

SATA is SATA. The only size adapter you need is one that can handle 3.5" HDs because the ones designed to handle only 2.5" HDs won't supply enough power to spin up a 3.5" HD.

I've had one of these for years now:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16812119152

If you want something more permanent, like a replacement case, then you'd want... a replacement case. This one is the cheapest case on NewEgg that still has decent reviews:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817182154

But all you really need is something designed to accept 3.5" HDs, since they'll have a power supply.

Maybe this link will work... it's a search for 3.5" cases sold by NewEgg on NewEgg, sorted by lowest price:

I'm going to switch ISPs from an ADSL connection to a cablemodem connection, and I may be connected to both for a few days while I do the switch. I was wondering if this setup would give me the bandwidth from both services.
Thanks.

Routing occurs in layer 3. The modem would have to be in bridge mode, which means the modem stays in layer 2. Its unlikely, to say the least, since most cable modem operators make their modems stay in layer 3 mode until client handshaking takes place. But it's possible.

It's possible to run VPN tunnels across both connections to a single concentrator (somewhere else on the internet, and with sufficient bandwidth), then stitch the two connections together on both ends (via multilink ppp or similar), and for all that trouble you end up with a laggy connection that's nearly as fast as both connections up/down once you get a large transfer going. But is this guy capable of doing that? Doubtful.

>There's no way to make it look like you have a single IP with both connection's bandwidth to the outside.
Obviously, but I was wondering if it would work for things like P2P, where multiple connections are the norm anyway. Say, the client could hypothetically connect to one peer through one link, and to another with the other one.

Your hypothetical client would need to have multiple IP addresses assigned to a single interface and be configured to round-robin TCP/UDP requests. That isn't going to happen if you're running Windows.

Has anyone ever used a usb voice recorder? Did you like it? Did it break right away?

I see prices between 20 and 100 for basically the same thing: 8gb voice-activated with nothing else special about it. It looks like the various sites are selling the same Chinese product.

I will be travelling in China and this seems perfect. "What's this called in Chinese?" and I can just record the answer and check the dictionary later.

The vast majority of phones have a voice recorder built into them superior to the three voice recorders I've own'd at various points in my long and sordid history. Google Translate for smartphones will translate not only text by photograph but also live voice. You live in the future, move beyond the technology of thirty years ago.

OP may be needing to use this in a place where phones aren't allowed to be used, such as a courtroom or nuclear testing facility.

GTA SA Load game crashing Wheels 13/03/15(Fri)05:44 No. 20109 ID: c7c8e9 [Reply]

File 136332265259.jpg - (41.05KB , 1094x600 , Untitled1.jpg )

So I had GTA San Andreas for a while and now all of a sudden I cannot open saved checkpoints without the game crashing and saying:

"gta_sa.exe has stopped working

A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available."

Now this happened after I installed a few car mods, so I tried to replace gta_sa file which I copied before mods where installed, but this didn't work. I also copied the models folder and replaced it but this failed too.

I CAN start and play the game just fine and save checkpoints as well, but I CANNOT open saved checkpoints (or load game whichever terminology you prefer).

I tried uninstalling and re-installing several times and even tried to manually delete any remaining files left on the computer (I guess I couldn't find them all because when I reinstalled the saved games where still there).

What should I do?

Short answer: reinstall.
Long answer: reinstaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaall

Of course, copy your savestates beforehand

Actually I had this happen to my saves once, and near as I could tell the saves were toast. I just started a new game.

Wheels 13/03/19(Tue)00:09 No. 20123 ID: d72f70

I don't know what I did, but all of a sudden it works... what files should I copy to prevent this from happening again? You know I just make a copy and when the game crashes I just replace them with these copies

btw

I said I reinstalled it numerous times and it did nothing ...

I got a stupid question

They can. There are also adapters that fit PCIe slots. And USB slots. And Mini-PCI slots. And MiniPCIe slots. Plus all the various proprietary dedicated slots.

But if they're "built into" a motherboard then it won't use a slot. Its still connected via the appropriate bus but it's integrated into the board, so you don't lose a slot.

last question:

if i did get a wifi card that fit into a pci express slot, owuld it work in any type, or should it go in a 3.0 slot?

>>

Anonymous 13/03/18(Mon)00:10 No. 20118 ID: 2b9159

>>20114
PCIe 3.0 slots are backwards compatible, and PCIe 3.0 cards are also backwards compatible.

Since even an 802.11ac card couldn't saturate a PCIe 1.0 bus (signaling rate ≠ data transfer rate), it really doesn't matter what generation of PCIe you have.

I'be wanted to try my hand at audio editing/creation, but I've been shitting around, and not really focusing.

But now that I'm in college, there's nothing but time.

Essentially, I'm asking anon's opinion on good editing software. Preferably, free, but anything is good.

Help me out Anon, this is my last chance to prove to myself that I can do this.

If you want something free, there exist a bunch of (free) Linux distributions for working with audio. I can't say if they are any good, as I never worked with that. If you aren't comfortable with installing a new OS just for that, you can use it in a virtual machine like VMWare, Virtual PC or VirtualBox.

Try Reaper ( http://www.reaper.fm/) - it is free to trial, has no expiration, and is dirt cheep when you make it big time.

Oh and it's fucking awsome too.

Reaper is by far the best "free" choice, though I'm a Cubase fan myself. Haven't used Pro Tools for years and dislike Abelton (though I'm sure it's great for dance stuff).

Hey guys, anyone here have much experience with laptop heatsinks? Awhile ago I took apart my girlfriends Dell N5010 to clean all the dust and shit out and apply AS5 and since then the GPU has been running at idle around 105c. Obviously this causes it to shut down a lot and isn't ideal.

Since the original heat pad on the GPU turned to dust I tried stacking a bunch of thermal tape to reach the copper pipe (as I expected that didn't work) and then ordered a couple of small copper pads and stacked them up, which I thought would rectify the problem but it hasn't. I'm 90% sure that they are tall enough to reach the pipe. Any other ideas?

Cheers!
