So, who's gonna take a bite out of the turkey leg next to President Obama this year is his first state dinner? No one really knows. Obama's administration, for some reason, has decided (as Foxnew and the Washington Times put it) that "mums" the word when it comes to sharing this information. Kinda funny how Obama's administration had no problems putting detainee photos out to the public at one point but refuse to share who's on the state dinner A-list. But transparency is not the only thing m...
You know there are some things I will never understand about some people. But one thing that bites me the most is when my own family and friends chose to go with people who they think know about computers rather than me who they know I am basically a computer geek. A while back my sister in law had a problem with her PC. I'm the kind of guy who tries to fix PC issues without having to reinstall Windows and such. It's a pain to have to back everything up and put it back afterwards. I don't min...
It's amazing how fast things can get bad these days. Economy still having trouble, unemployment continues to rise and everything is still expensive. Even if you're lucky enough to keep your job, things like bonuses and raises are as likely as winning the lottery 3 times in a row. So, when things get tough, how far are you willing to go to improve your situation? Me? I find myself doing things I don't normally do. I've been playing the lottery every week (fantasy 5, Florida lotto, megaball)...
Ok, once again I am invoking the brain powers of my fellow Joeuser (and all ofther Stardock cross-posted forums) computer pros to help me with a dilemma. So, due to the video card on my laptop dying on me, my great friends from my online clan were kind enough to provide me with some spare computer parts so that I could rejoin the FPS world and play again. However I have a small problem and was wondering if anyone could give me some sujjestions on how to trouble shoot the problem. The probl...

After Infinity Ward's idiotic (to me) choice of taking the "greatly anticipated" PC sequel to Call Of Duty 4 Modern Warfare, Modern Warfare 2 and stripping it of that which made it unique to PC gamers, dedicated servers; now, after the release of the game to the masses, it seems that IW had little intentions of pleasing the PC gamers community as I spoke to a friend who had told me he would not buy this game but never figured his wife loved him so much that she bought him a copy of the PC versio...
Here at my job, some consider me the computer geek of the floor. Even though we have an IT Dept full of real computer geeks (real because they have degrees, diplomas and actually get paid to do fix computers), it's easier to ask me since I'm on the same floor and I am not as busy working on computers. But leave it to me to be the one to instill fear of Window 7 on my co-workers as I bragged about install Windows 7 on my laptop only to have it blow up on me (not literally) 2 weeks afterward? W...
I need help, can't isntall Windows 7. Every time I try to install Windows 7 from a CD, the computer ask me to hit any key to continue but no matter how hard I try I can't find the "any" key on my keyboard. By then the computer just boots into the original Windows that is currently installed. Please help me find the "any" key so that i can enjoy Windows 7. Powered by Zoundry Raven
My mom makes a great Thanksgiving meal. It's a shame I don't get to enjoy it much these days since we live too far from each other. Sure, this is nothing a 2 hour flight can't fix, but times are tough and even when things weren't bad I could never make it; now seems almost impossible. I enjoy cooking but have never tried to make my own recipes of any kind. I make a mean Lasagna but have never bothered to write it down. Heck, most of the stuff I use is premade but lately I have tried to make m...
I have asked before and I will continue to ask till I get a legit answer from the crybabies out there who constantly defend Obama and the Democrats that are in control of our Gov't. Why are the Democrats having so much trouble passing a Universal Healthcare Bill they claim the majority of Americans want? Obama won the Presidency, Democrats took control of all 3 Houses, the power is in their hands. Yet time and again they fail to accomplish anything and the only thing they seem to be good a...
I have an article I wrote a few weeks back, found here , asking about getting a copy of Windows 7 from a friend who got it from school at student discount. I got some great answers but I am still curious about something. Does this copy sold to students have a way for Microsoft to know if it's a student copy or is this copy just like any copy you buy at the store? I ask because I remember I bought a PC many years ago from a guy who built and sold them and he had installed an unregistered copy...
The truth hurts, we all know that. But what do you do about it? Do you take it like a man (no insult to women intended) and accept you are either wrong or that someone just has a difference of opinion from you or do you deny their opinion and when they persist you simply shut them up and shut them out? For the years I have been on JU, I have always felt that the Blacklisting feature on JU had a more specific purpose than just to blacklist people for not agreeing with you. If you spend enoug...
I need some 911 tech help here. My PC has suffered a terrible accident and am not sure if it will survive. OK, so here is what happened. On Friday night I was playing Call of Duty World At War with my friends online. All of a sudden, I the middle of the game the computer froze; it made a loud buzzing noise (probably from the sounds of the game freezing up) and the screen went all pixilated. I had to force a shut down and when it came back it would crash when ever I started a game, w...
It would seem that in an attempt to shut out Fox News from using more ammo against them, the Obama Administration tried to keep Fox News from participating in an interview with " pay zcar" Kenneth Feinberg while allowing every other News network access but these networks are not stupid. They chose not to participate in the interviews so long as Fox News was not allowed. Is this reaction some kind of reporter loyalty? Birds of a feather flock together? Honor among thieves (not calling the netw...
