More RAM for Your GPU/Video Card?

Jared wants to use a static IP address at home, needs to change his wireless settings back to automatic when he connects to other WiFi routers.

@Dijitek tweets, "@patricknorton figured you might be the guy to ask. Know any 12v car vacuums worth a damn? Most are underwhelming." True... but folks do seem to love Black & Decker's PAV1200W Cyclonic Action Pivoting Nose 12V Vacuum!

Jim writes in, "You can go into a store and buy a name brand bleach, and then you can buy a generic bleach. bleach is bleach isn't it? Does this hold true for Intel and AMD?" Well, they both run Windows... but the difference is in -how- they run Windows apps, especially for performance users!

John wrote in, "I'm sure you've gone over this a million times before, but can you send me a link that explains whatever alternative you recommend that's more secure than WEP? I need something simple and basic if it is to stand a chance at getting through my thick skull. I have Wi-Fi at home, which connects my TiVo, Roku, iPad, Wii, Blu Ray player and Wi-Fi printer." We've got the simple version of WPA in the video!
