    I can't figure out what to major in for college =(

    Do archaeology, its awesome. Depending on which area you want to do isn't much work, but chances are you will need to get at least a masters. Protip: if you do ancient near east, its A LOT of work

    Naive about bike theft, help me with bike locks..

    I'm planning to apply to University of Illinois Chicago, Penn State (I like Anne Killebrew's work), UCLA and just about everywhere else. I think my grades and GRE scores are good enough, but I need to work on my networking. Mostly, I'm looking to get into a program that will fund my work. As...

    Naive about bike theft, help me with bike locks..

    If you're entering a phd program you'll probably make good friends with library staff, professors and maybe the janitors since you'll be there soooooooo much. I would just ask someone if you could bring the bike inside, if you're in the library get one of the side rooms and park it next to you...

    How to ask a huge favor?

    For the most part your profs want you to succeed in the field (if they are anything like mine... go ANE studies), so they probably won't mind to help you out. Either way though, you HAVE to ask. So just buck up, be prepared for the worst possible outcome (dream one up) and when the outcome is...

    Computer freezing up, what to check?

    another update: I got windows to install on another HD I had around the house. I am now getting clean boots. I am STILL getting freeze ups, i'm using both sticks of ram. I'm waiting for my new ram to get here to see if that helps. Do you think it could be processor related? or know anyway to...

    Computer freezing up, what to check?

    I did the reset you suggested. I have been able to get boots, but they freeze before it is complete. I'm gonna order some new ram, which i think is the probably. Is it odd for 2 sticks to go bad at the same time?

    Computer freezing up, what to check?

    I've gotten the beeps/grinding to stop, It had to do with the ram. I think its just fickle about how its stuck in. Now I don't get the beeps, but my monitor doesn't turn on (like its not getting a signal). Is there any chance my earlier problems could be related to the video card? I don't...

    Computer freezing up, what to check?

    Ok my tests are done, but the problem is far from solved With only stick A the system would boot the desktop then the computer would restart With stick B the system would not boot past the windows screen. After putting them both in together, the computer doesn't boot at all. Instead, hear the...

    Computer freezing up, what to check?

    Sorry, been really busy the past few days... If 42c is normal then i'm not sure what it is. I have opened the case and dusted, then took the ram out and put it back it. The system seems to do fine now if it is idle or just playing music, it did not freeze up at all today until I tried to use...

    Computer freezing up, what to check?

    I downloaded speedfan and it looks like heat is my issue. One of the monitors was in the red, around 42C. I guess I need to go buy another fan. I've had this computer for a couple years and haven't had any cooling issues, maybe its just getting old and fickle. Thanks for the help!

    Computer freezing up, what to check?

    Recently i've been having trouble with my computer. It sometimes (more often lately) freezes up with not error messages, it simply stops responding. The mouse pointer freezes, along with whatever was on the screen. It happens both when using the computer and when it is idle. I figured it was...

    Bestbuy 3-Year Performance Service Plan iPod

    thanks for all the info guys, seems the PSP isn't quite as good as the PRP. It does seem worth it to get the PRP through best buy then buying my ipod elsewhere with no extended warrenty. I plan I using this when working out ( i know flash based is better for that), so it will get some wear and...
