Being at that place in life were eyesight becomes an issue I sometimes have trouble reading post content. A wee bit more contrast between the font and the background would be helpful. Thanks for asking. That would be a nice feature to go along with text resizing, but the beauty of stylesheets is …

It is? To me it looks like AMD just invented the 'chiplet' marketing name to do essentially the same as what Intel and others have been doing for years with multi-chip modules. It is in this space. Conventional wisdom has been to use a single ASIC as with Netburst dual, Core 2 quad, and IBM Power …

Well, if it's a girl band, it's not gay I guess. But people will think *I'm* gay if they catch me listening to it. I'll check it out anyway though. Sometimes I listen to Cyndi Lauper when nobody is around. Why don't you tell these people to grow up? Remind them that no amount of listening to Grace …

Well, that makes sense. The older drivers allow you to force an override, so I recommend using them instead of the newer versions.

Well... For autism and any other thing on the spectrum. There is no medication. It is a syndrome. Or more acurate, a handicap. The thing is, that one is born with it, there is no cure and one will enter the grave with it. It does not infect other people. Yet one can have other diagnosis on top of …

Not to mention that the 12V was not 'necessary', a decent PSU should have had good amperage on the 5V rail anyway. If anything, it was a fail on the part of PSU manufacturers and OEMs. It was a potential issue with overclocking. More than one ATX connector self destructed due to large amounts of …

i don't know what you understand by "compatible SBs", because none of the listed has neither DDMA, nor PC-PCI. So, from my perspective neither of them is really compatible. if you mean compatible with ALS4000 Legacy DMA Emulation - VT8251 is not compatible with ALS4000 Legacy DMA emulation - i have …

That's normal for SB-MIDI. From the programming guide, section 5-2: SB-MIDI mode shares the same I/O ports and 8-bit DMA mode interrupt status bit associated with digitized sound. This means that you can access the MIDI port by writing to and reading from the DSP. https://pdos.csail.mit.edu/6.828/ …

Whatever you do, don't take the pills. For some people it's helpful (along with other coping mechanisms). For some it's essential. For other people, some families of medication can be ineffective or even problematic. If that happens, there's usually other options with the potential of working …
