Hi! I'm looking for a good reliable and fast supplier of computer peripherals and similar products for our Sydney office.

I'm not necessarily looking for the cheapest, as I'm not local and if there's a problem with the supplier then I'm screwed. I'm more interested in an established, service and reliability driven supplier.

I've emailed a few I found and didn't even get a response- instantly blacklisted. I asked some industry callcentre staff to pass on our details to their favourite distributors, no response. Now, I'm hoping someone local in Sydney can point me to a few local shops or online distributors with 10/10 ratings for service and reliability, to supply our office via online ord

I have four clients, who if they boot their computers while connected to the company network, they get an error that the desktop cannot be located (I forget the actual message- Unable to located \computername\e$ or something\desktop or similar to this).

The desktop folder is missing, and there is no way to locate or restore it.

However, if they disconnect from the network by unplugging the ethernet cable, and reboot, they get it back- all their icons, background etc included. Once booted to desktop, plug back into the network, and everything is fine.

It's driving me nuts, and dozens of Google searches have found nothing. Does anyone here have any ideas??

I had a similar issue myself, b

Basically, it took four downloads to get the game to work- we pay for data, and on my plan (the cheapest there is in the whole country), it cost me $50 my currency.

Then when I started playing, the game crashed repeatedly- the fix? "Buy a 3rd party sound card"... Are you fucking kidding me???

My motherboard is a P7P55DE, the CPU is an i5750, the card is an ATI 2GB HD6970, the RAM was Supertalent, but it's not generic stuff, it's heatsinked gamer's RAM. Everything in the case is made to run every game on the market today and for the next few years, at top sett

How many of you have slept with over 100 women that you didn't pay for? By slept with, I mean had sexual relations with. Men and transsexuals/transvestites don't count, for you bi-guys out there. I know a bi-guy who hooks up twice a week every week, but only 1 in 20 is a woman. Call girls/prostitutes do count, if you didn't pay for it. This isn't the "Buy women" sub-reddit.

I'm asking for a legitimate reason, which I will update here later.

Be honest. Over 100 at least. Close isn't triple digits. 99 may be very close, but it doesn't because it's not 100.

How many.

Thanks in advance for your brutal honesty with yourselves and with the rest of us.

Hey Reddit!

Just a few questions from a relatively newbie Protoss SC2 player.

It's my first time to play an RTS online and I'm getting wiped a lot :( so I've been reading strats and watching vids, learning hotkeys and shortcuts for a few days, and I'm doing well (moved from 82 to 38 in Copper league over about 7-8 games & maybe 3 wins since placement). I'm not absolutely crap, is what I'm trying to say, but I'm by no means good and I'm very eager to learn & improve.

• First, is the observer the only Protoss anti-cloak unit? I keep losing them to smart players, so I have to have a couple spare or risk getting destroyed by cloak or burrow.

• Second, I hear you can hot-key your Ne

Hey all!

I'm working on my new PC and have been receiving conflicting info from various self proclaimed experts.

The one I trus the most is an electrical engineer/gamer geek who spends all day doing R&D on radio frequency equipment and motherboards for devices.

He reckons go for the ATI 5770 because of DX11 support, rather than two older cards with less support that will be crap in a year.

My boss is a hardcore gamer and says the 5XXX series is overproced, and still too buggy (engineer friend agrees with this) so I should grab two 4870's which will be faster, and who cares about DX11.

Other friends say DX10 has been pretty shit, and DX11 is the fixed version, much like Windows 7 vs

My computer is around 6 years old. I've replaced a few HDs, keyboard, mouse, and a few PSUs.

Added a DVDRW, HD cooler, strapped a P4 CPU fan onto my VGA card when the fan died, and added a gig of memory.

Aside from that, it's pretty much as it was when I built it. Which is now pretty sad.

I have a budget of around $800-$900USD, £550-£600, about €600-€650.

I have already mostly decided on an ATI 4870, although I think I saw a 58XX that might be better for around 1/4 of my budget. A lot of people are recommending the 4870 though, and this looks good:

Basically, I want great cooling, overclocked at the factory, 1GB min, and quiet - my curren

If you were given the power to create or change any three laws, all non-self-serving and for your percieved benefit of the community, what would they be?

Increasing the speed limit on highways? Abolishing religion? Changing tax laws?

Everyone believes they know how to run the country, it would be interesting to see what your first three changes would be if you had unrestrained freedom to change any three laws.
