Right now, I run a Java application in Eclispe(not compiled to a JAR file) and it can send/receive about 30 a minute.

Would it be faster if I just made a JAR file and ran that?

If I made multiple JAR files, would they all just run slow, or would I get more requests? ]]> Technophiles and Technophiliacs SBTlauien http://zoklet.net/bbs/showthread.php?t=274928 http://zoklet.net/bbs/showthread.php?t=274828&goto=newpost Fri, 24 May 2013 13:20:02 GMT Hey guys, TOMMY here.

I'm the owner of a Mitsubishi WD-73732 HDTV.

The problem I'm having is that when I hook my computer up to the TV, the picture does not fill up the entire screen, and the picture is slightly off axis (it's not dead center, one side of the picture is taller than the other side, so when I adjust the overscan/underscan, I either get a full picture and cut off portions of the screen, or I have this ugly uneven black border around the TV when I utilize maximum underscan).

When I fill up the picture as much as I can without clipping any of the screen, I get an awful picture that isn't proportional and clearly exhibits symptoms of being out of the proper aspect ratio.

I've been trying to work with this for quite a while now, the thing that gets me is that my DirecTV reciever, Xbox 360 and Roku 3 all display the picture perfectly, no clipping, perfect ratio, everything is HUNKY DORY.

The same thing happens with my PS2 as does with my PC when I hook it up VIA component video.

My video card/chip is a Radeon 5870M, running through HDMI, for reference.

Thanks! ]]> Technophiles and Technophiliacs TOMMYJOHN69 http://zoklet.net/bbs/showthread.php?t=274828 http://zoklet.net/bbs/showthread.php?t=274792&goto=newpost Fri, 24 May 2013 00:23:55 GMT i got a compaq presario 5152 desktop with amd k6 processor, 4gb hard drive, dunno the ram, and running windows 2000 sp1. i got a bunch of issues with... i got a compaq presario 5152 desktop with amd k6 processor, 4gb hard drive, dunno the ram, and running windows 2000 sp1. i got a bunch of issues with it. but im going to start with this, the computer wont recognize a pny 16gb thumb drive. how do i get the driver for it and how do i install it? im sorry im a noob at this. ]]> Technophiles and Technophiliacs that1guy1991 http://zoklet.net/bbs/showthread.php?t=274792 http://zoklet.net/bbs/showthread.php?t=274723&goto=newpost Thu, 23 May 2013 09:14:58 GMT Could a person take one of these... http://www.amazon.com/Logitech-Unifying-receiver-mouse-keyboard/dp/B0058OU8VY ...and modify it so that it can...

I have a key logger, and I know that it'll log my own Logitech keyboard, but I would like to build the actual receiver, so that it'll pull in other folks input from their keyboards.

Could this be done? ]]> Technophiles and Technophiliacs SBTlauien http://zoklet.net/bbs/showthread.php?t=274723 http://zoklet.net/bbs/showthread.php?t=274713&goto=newpost Thu, 23 May 2013 05:56:34 GMT So my laptop is generally running very hot when it's under intense loads (i.e.) a game, so the fan is going very fast to compensate for that. These days it's summer and therefore the temperature is hotter/ventilation is worse. So I sprayed some compressed air inside, but not as effectively as possible because I didn't open up the laptop at all. Then afterwards I noticed the computer is overheating alot, because shortly after loading a game (League of Legends), my computer turned off. I noticed my temperature would rise to around 90 degrees, then the computer would turn off. This is happening within about 15-20 minutes of turning the computer on. At first I thought the fan was running only slowly, and tried to fix it through software.

The fan being broken does seem connected with spraying the compressed air inside, though it could be a coincidence. Is there any way I can salvage it... or am I just gonna have to install a new fan? ]]> Technophiles and Technophiliacs Ambient http://zoklet.net/bbs/showthread.php?t=274713 http://zoklet.net/bbs/showthread.php?t=274544&goto=newpost Tue, 21 May 2013 13:28:31 GMT http://cm.bell-labs.com/who/ken/trust.html good read http://cm.bell-labs.com/who/ken/trust.html

How difficult is it to hook up an external hard drive and run an OS from it? Isn't it just plugging in the USB cable and directing the PC the load from that drive rather than the normal drive?

I found this one on Amazon... http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006Y5UV2M/ ...and it says that it's encrypted. Does this mean that no one can view the data on it, regardless of who they are?

I've read that sometimes encryption programs allow LE to bypass the security.

I would to run my own OS(preferably without having to buy a new laptop) that is fully encrypted so that only I can run it and only I can view the files on it. I'd like to start it and get a password screen that will decrypt it and allow the OS to run when the correct password is entered. I'd want the whole hard drive encrypted, and then only decrypted when I log in to run the OS. Is this possible?

I've looked at truecrypt and it appears that it's only used for encrypting files that are on a harddrive, and then decrpyts them with the TrueCrpyt program. So in other words, I don't think it could be used to make a password protected hard drive that contains a OS, unless it's decrypted each time, saved to the hard drive and then ran(which I believe would leave leave traces even after it's deleted). Correct me if I'm wrong. ]]> Technophiles and Technophiliacs SBTlauien http://zoklet.net/bbs/showthread.php?t=274406 http://zoklet.net/bbs/showthread.php?t=274384&goto=newpost Sun, 19 May 2013 19:04:26 GMT Just curious what kind of phone everyone uses...

But I now have Ubuntu installed as the only OS on my laptop. I am not asking for any specific information right now. But as a new linux user is there anything I should defiantly download that....well just anything you think I should have other then anti-virus and stuff?

Oh I guess I do have one question. I am looking at installing "wine" to be able to run a game I enjoy playing. (There is a tutorial online on how to make it work and I think it was to use wine but I still need to go back to look). But the question is this. Once I install wine will it only allow programs that I tell it to run. So it will not just let any exe in the system to run unless I tell wine to open it.

I am working on looking up the information on wine myself but figured I would add the questions to this thread.

Thank you for any feedback you can give me. I can not wait to learn the ins and outs of this operating system.

Oh and incase this matters in how you answer me I am not a computer novice, I know my way around a windows based system quite well. ]]> Technophiles and Technophiliacs laughmaster http://zoklet.net/bbs/showthread.php?t=274014
