    Windows 10 - Whether You want it or not...

    I'm using it at work. There are things I like about it, and things I don't. But I definitely don't like the fact that MS is basically trying to force it down everyone's throat. And there are reports that the updates will sometimes uninstall other 3rd party programs that aren't "compatible"...

    Windows 10 - Whether You want it or not...

    Yeah, this happened to me today. Started my computer and came up to the Windows 10 screen. It had kept asking me to install (with the only options being "Install now" or "Later"), and I kept hitting "Later". And today it installed. I was....not happy. However, after you log in the first...

    Anyone had LASIK Surgery?

    LOL. You are cracking me up. So, I think the most important question you should someone who already did it is "If you could go back in time and NOT have Lasik done, would you, or would you still do it?" For me, it was absolutely worth it and given all the same circumstances, would absolutely...

    Anyone had LASIK Surgery?

    LOL. You can't blink. They put this thing over your eye that makes it physically impossible. In fact, that was the worst part procedure for me. Them putting on the device. And I'm pretty squeamish when it comes to eyes (although, I was able to use contacts for 15 years or so), and that was...

    Anyone had LASIK Surgery?

    I'm in the US, and this was 5 years ago, so keep that in mind, but mine cost about $4500 for both eyes. It was $2500 for each eye, and my insurance covered $500. So, pretty damn expensive, but for me, it was worth it. As for side effects, I remember all the paper-work gave a ridiculously...

    Anyone had LASIK Surgery?

    I had it done almost 5 years ago. Recovery was basically just one day of not really doing anything that strains your eyes. Which means no TV, no books, no computer, etc. I mostly slept. Your eyes don't really hurt, but they are a bit uncomfortable for that first day. And they give you eye...

    Be an amateur detective for me.

    How did he access the company remotely? VPN? If so, then the VPN Concentrator should have logs of all the times he logged in remotely. Also, if they use external authentication for the VPN (SecurID tokens or Active Directory), then there should also be logs of his all his authentications. In...

    Chrome trouble on Mac

    So, if your phone is connected to your UVerse WiFi, then I would assume the hotspot would send your laptop's traffic through the UVerse connection. It would be interesting to see the results, but I don't know if would really tell us anything. It seems like the problem is isolated to just Chrome...

    Chrome trouble on Mac

    Ok, so hold on. It works perfectly with your phone's wireless hotstop, but not on UVerse. But other browsers (I'm assuming you tried both Safari and Firefox, or just Safari?), work fine on UVerse. When using your phone as a hotspot, is the phone connected to the network via your wireless...

    Zoom B3 into Garage Band?

    I just got my B3 a few days ago, and here is how I got it to work in Garage Band (haven't tried Sequel LE yet): 1. Went to System Properties -> Sound and made sure Zoom showed up under "Input". 1. Create a new project. (File -> New). I just chose "Empty Project", but others might work...

    Pre-EB Stingray replacement preamp

    You might want to check out the "Music Man Sound and Pickups" sticky on this forum. Even though it says "Pickups" I am pretty sure there is some discussion on the various aftermarket preamps. That being said, The Nordstrand 2-Band MM Preamp seems to be pretty well-regarded...

    Which book? Bass Aerobics/Bass Fitness

    I have both as well, and agree 100% with BassChuck. The Liebman book is the way to go.

    Android Phone, iPad and MacBook?

    I have a macbook, an android phone (Galaxy Note 3), and just recently an iPad (I also have another Android tablet). I had the android phone first, and there isn't anything I could do on Windows (or Linux, which is what I generally used before the macbook) that I can't with Mac OS X. I don't...

    Bass to USB Cord?

    You might want to check out the Rocksmith "RealTone" Cable. It is supposed to be used for the two Rocksmith games, but I have heard people say it just shows up as a separate audio device when plugged into a computer (Windows or Mac). Amazon Link Check out the first review. The guy says...
