CaptainObvious
I state the obvious. I am a Perl + SQL developer around the age of 25. I will give you an obvious answer, if it fits. It may not be the best answer, but it will be 'an' answer, maybe one you didn't think of (but you probably did).
Does this exist? A cheap, relatively small power supply backup.?
Similar functionality to a APC UPS, but smaller.
Don't need to power a computer, just a router for a short time when power flickers off.
3 AnswersAdd-ons9 years agoWhat is a good program for determining what song is playing?
Specifically, for a computer, not a phone. Basically, it should use output from the speakers and determine what song best matches it. I've used SoundHound for this on my phone, but I'm looking for a non-phone alternative.
1 AnswerOther - Music10 years agoWhat is a good 'K' word for part of a name of superheroes?
I'm trying to come up with a name for a team of superheroes. I want it to be an acronym, but the last letter is a 'K'. Requesting ideas for organization/team words starting with a K.
"Kids" doesn't work, as they are all well into adulthood.
Power level of the heroes is... city-level? They are saving/protecting/watching a large city.
The "heroes" are more like anti-heroes, actually. They are all shady/secret/mysterious. The most well-known has a bad reputation with the local media.
Also, it is set in the early 1980s.

3 AnswersOther - Games & Recreation1 decade agoHow do you get YouTube to come out and record something?
There's some event happening next week at my workplace. My boss said I gotta make sure YouTube comes down to tape it. Unfortunately, I don't see anywhere on their website to contact for an on-site taping request.
Does anyone have the contact information for YouTube's taping request center? Thank you for your time and help.

4 AnswersYouTube1 decade agoHow to I/how do I find someone who can adjust voltage on my LCD monitor?
So I figured out my video card problem is probably actually a monitor problem. I just had never used its DVI connection with my old box.
According to: http://www.lagom.nl/lcd-test/inversion.php
the problem is that the monitor's voltages are misadjusted?
Who can fix this kind of thing?
(It is a Westinghouse 19" LCD I bought from Best Buy several months ago.)
1 AnswerMonitors1 decade agoHow hard is it to build my own computer (or really just the CPU installing)?
I'm looking to start with a barebones system and add parts to it.
I don't need to hear about the research and compatibility issues, already know what I'm doing there.
I'm talking about the physical putting together of the computer.
I've installed RAM and a video card in the past and reformatted several computers. Those were pretty easy. Just never installed a CPU. How hard is this it?
Also, it there anything else I'm forgetting about?

7 AnswersPhilosophy1 decade agoWhat Sega Genesis game used rock, paper, scissors?
I remember playing this game when I was younger at a friend's house. It was a platformer game. At the end of each level, you faced a boss in a rock-paper-scissors game. (I think they called it "paper, rock, scissors" in the game)
You could go into a building and bet a life for a powerup item, like an item that let you read your opponent's mind.
What game is this?
