Create Father's Day DVD Slideshow

jWindz — Fri, 05 Jun 2009 02:50:12 GMT

The third Sunday in June is Father's Day for Americans. We don't need more words to tell how important our fathers are in our family. On Father's Day, do what you can to show your gratitude to your father, and honor the memories you have lived together with your father and bring it back to life.

Making Father's Day DVD slideshow is a good Father's Day idea to show your emotions. Gather up pictures of yesterday and maybe 10 years ago, display them chronologically on slideshow DVD, using good-looking transition effects and emotional titles.

Step 2: Add Father's Day DVD slideshow Titles

In my opinion, titles are very important to Father's Day DVD slideshow. There are sometimes some words you have never said to your father. On this Father's Day, why not say it out in your Father's Day DVD slideshow. To gain a funny result, you can even define an animated slideshow titles, say scrolling, circle, rolling, flash, and more.

Why does xbox Live cost $? Good read

Jason — Wed, 25 Jun 2008 15:09:53 GMT

Was surfing the web and came across this: [url=http://www.gamesradar.com/xbox360/f/why-xbox-live-isnt-free/a-20080617101147502012/p-3]http://www.gamesradar.com/xbox360/f/why-xbox-live-isnt-free/a-20080617101147502012/p-3[/url]

Great article, make sure to read the whole thing (all 3 pages). Basically by charging $50 per user it allows microsoft to run their own matchmaking system which in return leaves game developers without this burden. This equates to more online enabled games on the 360 (developers favor it), and allows low budget games to include online modes for very cheap on their part since there is no continued expense associated with the online gaming system(since m$ is running the matchmaking servers).

All in all that $50 ensures that the 360 will have the highest rate of online playable games. Where as other online networks such as the PS3 require developers to run their own matchmaking servers which in return decreases the amount of online games available on the ps3. Some developers just arn't willing to pay that extra expense to provide online support.

[b]Cliif Notes[/b] All in all what you are really paying for is a guarantee to have the most online games of any console

Where do I get HELP for these forums or this site?

pdsnickles — Thu, 26 Mar 2009 16:12:35 GMT

I just joined and want to watch the threads I created or posted to.
I looked around and don't see a way to do this.
I tried the Subscribe to Topic feature and it says I don't have access to that feature.
So is there a way to see my posts or threads I want to follow, or no?
Also where is the correct place to go for Help re the forum/site?

Skip Windows 7, its Windows 8 we need to look out for

Goffee — Mon, 16 Feb 2009 08:08:41 GMT

If Windows 7 just fixes what was wrong in Vista, then a) why are we being charged for it and b) doesn't that make Windows 8 the one to go for, it could have a lot of cool stuff such as:

It will enable a lot of features currently online in the desktop. Imagine your user account being a parallel front-end for your Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, Bebo and other online accounts you use.

Instead of having a sidebar for these web-based services, they appear when updated "behind the glass" of the working desktop. Where your eye is focussed (assuming we have these shiny "Surface" displays by then) you'll see who is messaging you or what their update was, Alt+Tab would then take you directly to that application which floats to the top of the desktop.

Internet Connection Drops using XP

Sams First Overclock (K8)

samsam12341 — Mon, 22 Dec 2008 17:16:06 GMT

Hey guys, my name is Sam and I am not at all new with computers, but I am a little un-informed when talking about overclocking. I have been building my own computers for years and never really got into the whole overclock idea. However, my computer is a little out dated, so I decided to add some upgrades and now I feel it is a good time (since my warrenty is gone on everything) to overclock this thing and make it up to par again.

My specs:

A8N-SLi Mobo / AMD 64 3500+ (2.21ghz) / Standard heatsink/fan / 1.75gig DDR-PC3200 /

Vista / EVGA 7800GT OC / 40gig 7200rpm HD

Well lets hold the phone before everyone starts making fun of me for this stone age technology! I did upgrade a few things. I got another 7800GT OC, another gig of RAM, and an Evercool WC-202 liquid cooling unit (also another HD). I do not have the liquid cooling unit yet, but I want to overclock this first with the fans, and then again with the unit to compare the difference. From what I have read, I should be able to pull of quite a bit more mhz out of this entry level cooling unit.

My questions are: Does the A8N bios allow overclocking? Would a program be better at it? How should I adjust my RAM with it? What might I be able to overclock it to (with fan and with liquid)?

Thanks guys, will be waiting on replys!

Share: Large Data Transfer Tool

lizard01 — Thu, 03 Jul 2008 01:19:57 GMT

As one member of ten famous international photographers, I feel highly honored to be invited to the activity of such theme as “City of Olympics” organized by Chinese government on 10th March. It’s the first time I had been to Beijing, and before this I only see the outlook of Great Wall from pictures. During the week, We take pictures from the spot representing Chinese culture such as Beijing Imperial Palace, Great Wall, and of course some large sports facilities, of which the outlook of one facility is like bird’s nest, so we call it “Bird’s Nest.”

It’s one visual feast that the city blends the classicality and modern perfection everywhere. I even had the delusion of travelling across the history for many times.

I was fascinated by many unique spot I’d never seen before, and what I can do was just to take some pictures of the beautiful scene for permanent preservation. It’s an uncommon experience to take so many pictures on the ancient city’s outlook.and the only way for me to thank Beijing is to record the most beautiful and the vigorous Beijing with my camera.

When I was bothered how I could transfer all of these pictures to the magazine and my friends abroad? The Chinese translator told me that she could help me to solve this problem. It’s a miracle that my friends in North American and Africa received my photos timely. I felt surprised when I saw the email in which my friends appraise the beautiful pictures. I was wondering why pictures could be transferred to any countries I wanted. The translator told me that there was one popular transnational transfer software called QOODAA. It can be downloaded free at [url]http://www.qoodaa.com/[/url]. It’s with English interface, easy-to-use, and can transfer large files (such as movies, videos) across different countries, which changed the history of express CD.

I am not in the least afraid of the far place and large pictures after I found the way how to transfer large files. I travel around the world easily with Qoodaa and to be a cool “daanese”.

I posted a thread mentioned that I had tried to search for an answer before posting. Following is a snippet of one of the replies that I received.

[quote][b]WAW8. (11/24/2008)[/b][hr]Search is disabled in the forums -- doesn't matter whether you're registered or not.
[/quote]

I'm just curious about that. It's generally considered polite to search for an answer on your own before asking your question. But here that's disabled? And if you ARE going to have it disabled, why not indicate that instead of just telling me that I need to be logged in to use that feature or maybe even remove the search link entirely?

XP Support... A good laugh.

PC509 — Sun, 15 Jun 2008 11:53:40 GMT

This caught my eye on the Windows XP support page (under Why do you have to stop selling Windows XP?).

Link: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/products/windowsxp/future.mspx

Emphasis Mine:

"We've spent more than a year consulting with our customers and industry partners to ensure that we're doing the right thing. We understand that not everyone may agree with our decision—[b]just as not everyone was happy to see Windows 95, Windows 98, or Windows ME retire (OK, perhaps not ME)[/b]."

I love the new sense of humor coming from Microsoft. They can joke about their own products, and I think that Windows ME is the company punching bag.

A good laugh on Fathers Day. :)

Viewing a Post whilst Replying to it

This is a suggestion for the forum Administrators and Moderators.

Would it be possible to arrange it so that you can see the post or thread that you are replying to. At the moment, this does not seem possible and it makes it tricky if you need to refer back to it (and other posts in the thread) whilst you are compiling your reply.

Is Ubuntu 7.10 really this slow?

Jason — Sun, 20 Apr 2008 15:05:31 GMT

I recently installed a fresh copy of Vista Ultimate and Ubuntu 7.1 on my laptop. (1.6Ghz AMD Turion x64, 1.5GB Ram) Now Vista boots up in under 7 seconds. If I select Ubuntu from GRUB it literally takes about 1 minute for it to reach the login screen. Now I know Vista is incredibly fast at booting even compared to XP, but is Ubuntu really this slow or is it something wrong with my install?

Note: Once I get to the login screen everything is fine and snappy in ubuntu, except for the fact it won't hibernate. (It just eventually sits at a screen w/ a blinking dos like line).

Thoughts? I am thinking about running some benchmark tests on both OS's since they are fresh install, perhaps put a damper on all those gun-hoe linux people.

Note #2: I almost forgot to mention I have Ubuntu installed w/ a root partition of about 20 GB, and another 2GB partition for the swamp.
