    The questions-not-worth-their-own-thread question thread X

    They said it has to be jpg or png. The image is a pretty well-known one ;) but I can't find a place here, online or offline, that sells it as a poster, so I thought I'd have it made myself. No idea if it's complex.

    The questions-not-worth-their-own-thread question thread X

    So I know next to nothing about image editing / processing ... I have a jpg that I would like to turn into a large poster for my apartment. At the shop, they told me the image needs to have at least 300 DPI for this. The jpg has 200 DPI. It seems to me I can increase the DPI, but then the...

    Some people dislike the company for what it does today ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Criticism_of_The_Walt_Disney_Company ), some dislike Walt Disney for beliefs he supposedly held ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hollywood's_dark_prince and...

    How well do gills function in other liquids than water? Could any gill breather survive in, let's say, milk?

    Thanks everyone for the tax evasion explanations. It's much clearer now. :)

    Okay, I get that let's say the German authorities are unable to access information from Swiss banks directly and can't tell how much I have in my account there, but shouldn't they be able to tell that money was transferred to a Swiss account? Let's say I'm in Germany and receive money from...

    How exactly does tax evasion work? The kind where you make use of a Swiss bank account.

    Maybe you have an unconscious tendency to feel attracted to that kind of women since it means you won't actually have to get into a relationship (as in, deep down you're actually afraid of intimacy/relationships). Maybe you just have bad luck. Keep looking.

    I'm looking for a novel to give to a friend for Christmas. Ideally it would be either a thriller or humorous, and it has to involve math. Any suggestions?

    Sorry, but it's not very smart to confuse these silly online tests with real IQ tests.

    Windows XP doesn't always start after RAM upgrade

    Fortunately, there wasn't any real damage after all. The guy who checked it says that after my superficial cleaning it was still too dusty :blush: and either there was some short circuiting, or it overheated. Also, one of the two new RAM pieces did turn out to be faulty after all. Now, properly...

    Computer Questions Not Worth Their Own Thread

    I had a similar message when I started using my current computer. This is with Windows XP. I googled the problem, and it was a simple matter of opening the one with limited connectivity, unchecking TCP/IP in the properties, and unchecking "automatically search for network folders and printers"...

    Windows XP doesn't always start after RAM upgrade

    Sorry for the late reply. The desktop pretty much stopped working on Tuesday, I'm online with an old laptop now. The board is an Intel Desktop Board D865PERL with Dual-Channel DDR400/333/266 SDRAM Memory Support. The new RAM are two pieces of DDR400 1024MB Samsun, PC3200U-30331-E0 1 GB DDR...

    Windows XP doesn't always start after RAM upgrade

    Meh, so much for my optimism. The problem still exists, and seems even worse since now I also get the completely black screen without blinking cursor. Maybe I just got lucky earlier. When it doesn't launch Windows properly, there is also a sound missing I've come to associate with my PC...

    Windows XP doesn't always start after RAM upgrade

    Yes, I made sure they're compatible. And both new RAM pieces are of the same kind too. I removed the new RAM, did my best to get the slots free of dust, and put in the old RAM again. Started the PC several times, and got nothing. Black screen, not even a blinking cursor. Took the old RAM...
