I do have a portable charger with that 2mm plug... and a phone with only a micro USB socket. Considering the 2mm things were rated at 5V, I might just swap the plug :P
@JourneymanGeek Yep. Nice of Nokia to include both though; got some more use out of my old charger... and I find most Micro USB cables are nowhere near as flexible :(
eh, cheap spare phone? I still have two Nokia phones, one's 8 years old and the other 12... still the most reliable ones I have, and still last over four times longer on a single charge than my current smartphone :P
@JourneymanGeek I did a little more reading on it. Can't say I entirely understood it ^_^ But that looks like the case, at least roughly. Wish I knew more about it... especially since I'll be taking Security+ this fall
I have a computer with no USB port or wireless network card, and no other external data transfer ways but only PS2 port and an audio port. How can I get files from/to this system?
The official Microsoft Windows 8 (64 bit) disk space requirements are the same as Windows 7: 20 GB.
In actual practice, how does Win8's disk space usage compare to Win7's? Specifically, how does disk space usage compare after a clean install of each? I'm thinking the new Metro stuff must take ad...
Metro has been renamed to Modern UI, because it was a code name that conflicts with Metro AG.
Feel free to update questions with the new naming as you go around making our Windows 8 part of the site awesome and geared up towards the first weeks in the Windows 8 era...
Consider to use modern-ui...
Awesome. I was just running into a weird error while converting SVN to git repositories. When I looked up the error, I found this :D superuser.com/questions/429686/…
Not sure but I've bought non-"retail" years ago and those were the differences. Now the savings are mostly negligible so I haven't done that in a while.
By buying screws.
Maybe screws are included. I just wouldn't bet on it.
Just clarify with the seller what's in the box (that might not be included) and what's missing.
@DanielBeck Good provision for cable management can give much better airflow around the case, but I wouldn't go out of my way to buy a case that cost £50 extra to do the same job that a £2 pack of cable ties could do...
port vs ports, there's probably some clean-up needed due to the multiple meanings of “port”. On U&L we reserve ports for BSD ports, and use tcp or udp for the networking concept
@DanielBeck Thanks for the explanation and your patience with this new user :) I've only been posting here for less than a week, still haven't figured everything out yet.
Alright, I'm thinking about buying the following. Any suggestions are welcome. 1. 1x Intel Core i7-3930K, 6x 3.20GHz, boxed (BX80619I73930K) 2. 1x ASUS Rampage IV Extreme, X79 (quad PC3-10667U DDR3) (90-MIBHF0-G0EAY00Z) 3. 2 or 3x Kingston HyperX Predator DIMM XMP Kit 16GB PC3-17066U CL9-9-9 (DDR3-2133) (KHX21C11T2K2/16X) 4. 1x be quiet! Dark Power Pro P9 750W ATX 2.3 (P9-750W/BN174) 5. 1x Cooler Master Cosmos Pure (RC-1000K-KKN2-GP) or 1x Fractal Design Define XL USB 3.0 black (FD-CA-DEF-XL-USB3-BL)
ports isn't very big yet, but it's used for very different things. I propose to ban it (because it's too tempting for several different communities) and force the use of more specific tags:
BSD ports (packages) → bsd-ports
Communication ports such as serial ports → serial-port or the like
TCP (...
I heard that I just add my debit card to my PayPal account and when I need to pay with PayPal I will do... and the money will be deducted from my bank account
If you add a card to your account, nothing happens. But when you buy something somewhere and decide to purchase with PayPal, you can tell PayPal to take the money from your card.
That way is probably only for people who don't have debit/credit car

And people who sell their stuff on Ebay, they are OK with the fact that they have to pay the fee to PayPal or some of them expcet the buyers to pay the fee?
I want to pay from my account in the Czech Republic, the currency of the account is Czech crown... the guy who is selling the books on Ebay is from UK...
There is a fee when you send a payment to someone in another country or if you receive a payment from someone in another country. Please note that exchange rate fees also apply if there is a currency conversion. The Fees section of the PayPal User Agreement has specific information. You can find the User Agreement by clicking Legal Agreements at the bottom of any PayPal page.
^ that's from their website - eBay.co.uk
Btw, do I need eBay account as well to buy something?
When I don't want to bid... only want to buy via BUY IT NOW...
Although it is nice to see that after a few a Windows 7 RC already pops up, so it isn't too far back in time the unanswered questions are. Still, very interesting to weed through them...
@DanielBeck: cable management generally means there's more holes to route cables through. Those cases also tend to be slightly better made. It isn't essential, but its a nice thing to have
