My laptop is positioned in a place which accumulates a lot of dust and gets sucked in. This causes a huge overheating problem for it. At its worst it is reaching 65 Celsius idle and 90 Celsius when running intensive games.

I clean the laptop out once every 2 or so months with compressed air, but by that time it is already getting bad. How can I prevent dust from getting in to my laptop without cutting off air flow? I was thinking that putting a cut pantyhose over the vents might keep the majority out, but idk.

What type of bow should I get, is there a specific brand which is better than another? Please note that I am on a budget. I can't spend more than $100 on a bow, is that too cheap to get a decent one? Should I continue to save until I can get a more expensive one?

In case you need this information:

5' 11"

200 lbs

I don't work out regularly, but I have a decent amount of muscle.

I am trying to log in to the Sony Online Entertainment website ( soe.com ) but I keep getting a "wrong username or password" error. I have recovered my username (I have 2 linked to my email) and have reset my password twice but I keep getting the error. What gives? If the issue doesn't resolve itself by tomorrow after school I'm going to contact support.

I'm looking for a game in which you need to manage resources to survive. A few examples would be: Minecraft, Terraria, DayZ, Survival Kids (gameboy), Neo Scavenger, Disaster Report, and Project Zomboid

The theme (zombie, futuristic, steampunk, wasteland,) and perspective (first, third, isometric, topdown,)doesn't really matter, but basically what I want is a game where you gather resources and try to survive for as long as possible. What I'm not looking for are first person shooters like nazi zombie mode in Call of Duty where you hole yourself up and just kill oncoming waves of monsters.

Thanks in advance guys.

When I say survival I don't mean survival-horror like Resident Evil or Silent Hill. I am talking about a game where you need to monitor your character's health, temperature and hunger and need to find supplies to keep him/her alive. Some good examples would be Project Zomboid and Survival Kids (gameboy.) PC games are preferable but Xbox 360, Wii, Nintendo DS and 3DS games are ok, games for any earlier systems (PS2, Gamecube) are fine as well, I have all the systems between SNES gen Gamecube gen.

When I play certain games (Guild Wars 2 Beta events and Diablo 3 beta event) my computer randomly restarts. I can't figure out why, it isn't overheating. I checked the event log and here is what stands out. This was listed as critical:

My pc specs are:

OS: Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit

Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-2630QM CPU @ 2.00GHz (8 CPUs), ~2.0GHz

Memory: 8GB

Graphics Card: Nvidia Geforce GTX 460M

My specs exceed the recommended for both games, I have tried tweaking the graphics settings for both and nothing has helped.

I've been using a vizio tpv_2.26 as a second monitor for my laptop for about a year now through my HDMI cable. I keep the resolution at 1360x760 because if I put it any bigger then it looks scrunched up and weird on my Vizio. After looking at the user manual though it recommends that I use RGB for computers and the native resolution for that is 1920x1080 according to the manual. Would this actually increase the visuals at all? It is my understanding that HDMI is digital (and the new standard when hooking up video games/dvd players/cable boxes) and the VGA is an analog output which has been around for PCs for a while.

I registered to vote in NJ last year and stated that I had no preference in party. My favorite candidate however is running Republican. Is it possible to vote in the NJ primaries without being affiliated with any party?

I want to buy a t-shirt with a certain logo on it, but since it's a feminine subject, they only make female type t-shirts. Would it look odd for a man to wear a female t-shirt? What's the difference in the first place?

If you guys want to know, it's a My Little Pony T-shirt. BRONIES FOR LIFE!

More specifically I'm wondering which CPU is best, the AMD Phenom II Quad-Core (2.77 GHz)or the Intel Core i7 (1.73 Ghz)

Please answer, I really need a laptop for both school work and gaming.

My room has the combined smell of testicular sweat and butt....I clean the room regularly (about once a week,) and bathe every day. I've cleaned the cloth computer chair, changed my sheets and cleaned my bed, but to no avail. I've also tried spraying all sorts of air fresheners, lysol, febreeze, pledge, even Axe and some colognes. I've also tried air fresheners and some oil defusers but nothing at all works.

I don't detect the smell (because I live in it, plus my nose is always stuffy) but when others come in they comment on it.

I'm thinking of trying what I do with my fridge, that is put boxes of baking soda around the room.

It's sort of implied in episode 9 "The Sword and Dead" when they kiss, and then the screen fades out, then again at the end when she asks if her will "take responsibility."

It seems that nearly overnight the main site changed and the forum disappeared. I can't find any sort of notice or anything on the internet saying that the site has been moved or bought out. Furthermore there isn't even a Contact page.

Hopefully a member of the board sees this and can answer.

Unfortunately I can't show you the options I would pick, but they are

Intel® Core™ i7-2630QM 2nd Gen. (2.9GHz)

6GB (6144MB) DDR3 1333MHz SDRAM (2gb + 4gb)

640GB | 5400 RPM | SATA II-300 (8MB Cache Buffer)

I'm not putting an operating system, as I already own Windows 7 (I might get adventurous and put Ubuntu on it.) I'm also not ordering any accessories. The total comes out to $862.

Unfortunately $900 is my limit, and from what I've seen this is the best that I can get. After this it seems that the prices spike to $1200+. I'll be using it mostly for schoolwork and gaming, so I think that this is adequate. I would build my own, but I don't have the know-how.

I want to import my existing saves from my pc and Wii to SNES4Iphone on my iPod. Does anyone know if that's possible?

Before everyone answers by saying that I shouldn't be playing illegal copies, I own all the games that I have on the emulators.

I'm applying for a part time job at a local supermarket, and got a generic looking application, which I was simply asked to fill out. All that it asks is for previous work experience, which I don't have. I feel that handing in the job application would grossly misrepresent me.

While I may not have any formal work experience I have over 300 hours of community service, and I've been the logistics officer at my high school's JROTC program. I'm accountable for several thousands of dollars worth of equipment, which I think would really show how trust worthy I am. On top of that I've been a platoon sergeant, and I've taught classes (in JROTC the program is run by students, so seniors are responsible for educating the underclassmen.) I'm also a tutor...

My aunt's fiancée is Hindu, and he's sort of the black sheep in the family. My entire family is Roman Catholic, and he is Hindu. I would really like to learn about his culture and beliefs to the best of my ability. He's explained some to me, but it feels kind of weird asking him. Can anyone give me the fundamentals of Hinduism? Can you guys also recommend a book(s) that would help me learn or understand it?

Just to clarify, I don't want to join the religion, in fact I'm atheist. My new uncle, however is Hindu, and I would like to at the very least understand the ideas. From what I've gathered there's a HUGE amount of literature in Hinduism. I have no clue where to start. Can a Hindu or someone who has studied it point me in the right direction?

Assuming you were able to get a deal for both a Dell and HP laptop with the same exact specs and price which would you pick and why?

I'm buying a new laptop, and I currently have 700 USD set aside for it. What would you recommend? Please note I would like an i5 processor or above.

I own two guitars, a BC Rich Warlock, and a cheap Stratocaster, but I would like to start playing the bass as well. Is it possible to slap some bass strings on their and have a six string bass?
