How to verify FLAC files against the AccurateRip database?
I've been ripping my CD's to CUE+FLAC so that I get image files that allow me to replicate the actual CD. This serves me as a backup and as an easy access to the "media" if I need to re-rip the CD's (in case of an improvement in the AAC/MP3 encoder, or a new format). Some CD's were ripped using EAC…
Accessing non-port80 web server using IPv6
In a normal IPv4 network, I can go into any browser such as Firefox and browse a server on a IPv4 address not hosted on port 80: This accesses the server on port 8080 on .

Why do we still have to use drive letters to identify file systems?
A friend has run into a problem where they installed Windows 7 from an external drive, and the internal boot drive is now assigned to H:.

Is it safe to operate a laptop without battery?
I know it's 'unsafe' in terms of data loss but I noticed motherboards still have some of their circuits on power when they are plugged in [e.g. a circuit that must wait for power-on signals is certainly one of them]. Hence, I wondered if it would increase the life of the laptop if the battery was s…

OEM Office 2010 without media - how to reinstall?
