    system shutdown during Crysis 2...h/w?

    I imagine that is the problem right there - have you tried testing with Furmark?

    Online gamers crack AIDS enzyme puzzle

    I would imagine there is only 1 correct way to unfold the molecule, but it would take an unreasonable amount of time to calculate what that is - however, given an answer, it can be easily verified for correctness.

    P.c from scratch suitable for web developement/designing

    The AMD Llano has on-board graphics, so you don't need a dedicated GPU unless you intend to use graphically-intensive software like games. What components are in your machine currently?

    Size of, well, everything

    Well... no, not really. It doesn't exist within anything, because there is nothing outside it. Outside it doesn't even make much sense as a concept, as there is nothing there at all - not even time or space.

    FPS Games for PC or Console?

    The player interaction isn't that different between PS3 and PC, unless you play with the same people regularly - as said, join a clan, or just play on a clan's server. In terms of gameplay, FPSs on PC tend to be a little faster paced, as the additional accuracy of a mouse over a pad decreases...

    Excel invoicing spreadsheet

    Go look up how to design normalized databases, then make one in access. Here's Microsoft's tutorial for access: http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/training/get-to-know-access-RZ006118141.aspx Unless you change the DBMS, access uses JetSQL - DevGuru have a JetSQL reference sheet that's pretty...

    Does missing a few days off school hurt?

    Depends how good you are at the subjects, whether you can learn the material quickly on your own, whether you bother to catch up and probably a bunch of other stuff I haven't thought. The main thing that got me about skipping school was how it impacts your work ethic overall - every time you...

    How Much Faster (Real World Performance) Is the i7-2600k Over A Q6600? (old quad core from 2007)

    50-60 fps means that you can't use vsync without dropping to 30 fps (assuming a 60hz monitor). I almost always use vsync because I can't stand tearing, so for me, it's quite a big difference.

    Best games to play when unemployed?

    RPGs are the best for eating time IMO, especially Elder Scrolls and Fallout 3. If you can do 4-5 hours a day of guitar, you should get good very quickly. Sorting out a band is brilliant fun, but, as ThomBassmonkey says, there is no guarantee you'll ever be able to get money out of it (although...

    Is there any reason not to just use 2 3.5mm extensions?

    Excel invoicing spreadsheet

    Just do all the actions yourself while recording a macro, it will write the code for you... then you just add any logic needed and assign that macro to the button. Edit: Some code for you to get started. Sub savePDF() Dim orderNumber orderNumber = Range("orderNumber").Value...

    Maths questions

    I don't think anyone's mentioned it in here, but the way to find the highest common factor (the largest number that two different numbers can be divided by) is to look for the prime factors - that is, numbers that are prime (you can't divide them and get a whole number) and are factors (you can...

    Spec me a real, no gimmicks keyboard.

    Are the email and calculator keys really necessary? It's easy enough to set up short-cut keys for them.

    Transporting a Case

    I usually stick mine back in the original packaging. If you really don't want to carry it, you could stick it in a wheelie suitcase, but there's nothing to help you with those stairs.

    Horror games

    FEAR works fine on Windows 7 (at least, the Steam version does). The Extraction Point DLC has some of the best moments, IMO.

    How many ?

    It depends on the partition table - 4 sounds right for MBR. Try making an extended partition instead of one of the primary partitions, and filling it with 3 logical partitions.

    Geniune Fear Of Flying

    Well... no. The riskiest parts of a flight are take-off and touch-down, when the plane is travelling slow enough at a point of impact that you'll just break your femur (much like an emergency landing over water). Followed by burning to death in a massive blaze fuelled by several tons of aviation...

    2 x DVI cables in to one port? Splitter?

    You don't neccesarily need a KVM - just a DVI switch (which would be one part of a KVM). Be careful what you buy though - I have a DVI switch which, for reasons beyond my understanding, will not work with an xbox 360.

    Thanks for the room asshat

    If you are doing 10 miles an hour on a bike on a road, I'd question your ability to be on a road. As others have said, do be careful of what you shout at drivers, no matter how badly they are in the wrong. I had some guy chase me down a street once. If I wasn't so weedy, I'd have killed the...
