I'm trying to setup an old printer, a Hewlett Packard Laserjet 1010, on my Windows 7 64 bit computer. Problem is, there are no Windows 7 drivers. HP's site, despite being the most unfriendly and weird site on the Internet, was lacking in Win 7 drivers for my particular printer, but there was a...

I have a teaching experiment in electronics on Monday that involves flashing a microcontroller controlling a H-bridge in turn connected to a DC motor. I need to write code for it in C, and I'd like to get most of it done before the actual experiment, so I'm doing it now. Or at least trying to. I...

I used to know how to install them, but I forget. Basically, Virtualdub comes completely devoid of codecs, and you need to install them manually. Can anyone provide me with a download link and some instructions for the most common codecs? I've googled around without success.

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/35839979/ns/us_news-education I saw this on I Am Bored and had to post it here. The article says that after a vote in the Texas State Board of Education, elements indirectly advertising the Christian faith and traditions, along with ultraconservative ideology...

This morning I shift+deleted a folder thinking I wouldn't need anything in it. Turns out I did, there were a couple of files in a subfolder that I actually need now. Is there a way to recover these files? I know what the folder names were. I made a new folder with the same name, though, and...

... Turkey expectedly pulls diplomatic tantrum. Maybe it's time to stop being sensitive about the issue over there? There's apparently overwhelming evidence that it happened, so why are they being so anal about it? Because it's still going on? It wasn't the modern day Turkish government that...

So, public transportation in Sweden is worse than ever this winter. In a country that's been populated for some 10,000 years (?) no one expected it to snow, apparently. It actually went so far as the local public transport operator in Stockholm (SL) declaring that if people could work from their...

I'm writing my bachelor paper this semester, but it's going to be pretty technical and full of mathematical formulas. Also fairly long, about 20+ pages. I'm also sick of the formatting hijinks and complete lack of a decent formula editor in writers such as Microsoft Word and Open Office, so to...

There are plenty of these programs, so I want to know which one is best. I just bought an Ati HD 4850 512 MB card to supplement the one I already have, and run Crossfire. However, I'd like to do a before/after performance check before installing the card. I guess 3DMark is good? What's the...

I felt that after playing through half the campaign, I had to write a review about this game. http://www.airwargame.com/eng I haven't played the multiplayer, so I can't really comment on that. The storyline is crap, the voice acting is worse, but what did you expect? Don't play this...

http://www.reuters.com/article/idUSTRE57I5J420090819 http://www.nytimes.com/2009/08/24/world/middleeast/24mideast.html (there are better, first-hand sources in Swedish, but I don't see the point in linking to those, as most of you can't read them). So, I haven't read the article...

Monitors! So I've decided I want to get a second monitor, because that's totally tits. But I don't really like my current monitor, a Samsung T220 22". It has a very good image, but ergonomically, it's a nightmare. You can't tilt it at all. I'd like to be able to tilt it vertically...

So, this might seem very outdated, but I bought a new flight sim that just came out. Wings of Prey, on Steam. It's the tits, as it's realistic like IL-2 Sturmovik (but a little dumbed down in comparison), but has soul and a mission structure. Also, I haven't noticed it to be very buggy so far...

I've been playing Modern Warfare 2 for about a day, and I notice the in-game menu still says "NAT type: Strict". Upon investigation, I found out I would have to activate UPnP in my router to allow more incoming connections. However, this is already active in the router. I'm not sure what to do...

So, I've had this crazy lazy-ass slacker friend who just came back from a two year trip around the world, trying to sell me this whole Lyndon LaRouche economics theory. I don't have the time or energy to read and learn much about it, other than what it says on wikipedia. And most information...

http://en.trend.az/regions/world/afghanistan/1578423.html So, why are we fighting other countries' wars again? Now, this isn't a Glenn Beck type troll. I'm actually throwing out a question to you people who know more about world politics than I do. Why am I paying taxes so Swedish...

http://blog.taragana.com/n/nazi-hit-man-goes-on-trial-on-3-counts-of-murder-for-3-wartime-killings-in-holland-209484/ Ugh. Seriously, let it go. Not only was it a very very long time ago, but he did what he thought was right at the time, having been ordered to do so. Iraqi resistance...

I'm not sure about the proper name for these things, but I've been looking into World war 2 reenactments. There's not a lot of this in Sweden or Europe in general it seems, but plenty of it in the United States, if I'm not mistaken. I golt kinda fascinated by the youtube videos people have...

So I've been running the Windows 7 beta (both 32 bit and 64 bit) for some time, and I really like it. There was a problem though. I use Google Chrome as a browser. I like it, it's minimal and doesn't take up tons of resources. It doesn't interact well with other software though. Whenever I have...

I just got Streammygame, which is a great service. It allows you to play games remotely from another computer, using your desktop as a host/server. So far it runs good, and allows me to play GTA IV and Medieval 2 on my EEE PC, without any lag or major issues. One problem though, is that my...
