Whether you need to update drivers, want to check hardware compatibility, or you’re just curious, it’s way easier to check your motherboard model number with these simple tricks than it is to crack open your computer case to check the board itself. Read on as we show you how to check your motherboard model number from the comfort of your keyboard. Why Do I Want To Do This? There are a variety of situations where knowing your motherboard’s model number is important: upgrading your drivers, buying new hardware (you’ll need the proper expansion slots for card-based upgrades and the right memory DIMMS for memory upgrades, etc.), and checking the capabilities of your board if you’re considering upgrading the entire thing.  If you kept the paperwork that came with your computer (or the individual components if you built it yourself) you can often times reference that. Even then, it’s best to check to make sure the documentation is correct. Rather than open the case and search for the m

The mythology of the American highway is as deep and long as the Grand Canyon – which you can, incidentally, drive along. Books, music and films have added glamour, ghosts and grit to what in other countries would be merely a long, even boring, drive. Jack Kerouac’s On the Road, Bob Dylan’s Highway 61 Revisited and Dennis Hopper’s Easy Rider are perhaps the best-known celebrations of the American ideal of freedom as an open road. But there are enough pop songs to soundtrack a lifetime of coast-to-coast drives and the challenge may well be to turn off the myths – and turn down the music – and make your own experience out of the journey. The vast, varied landscapes, small towns and big cities that fly-drivers pass through make the practical matters of hiring and insuring a car, driving on the right and learning a few new laws well worth it. In Arizona, you can park in the quaint desert town of Winslow, still “a fine sight to see”, on Route 66. In San Francisco, cruise up and

Back in college and my early 20s (when I actually had a social life), I tended to go out to parties and bars more often than I thought I “should.” My gut often told me that I should probably be studying, reading, exercising, sleeping, networking or otherwise engaging in productive activities that were more likely to directly advance my career. But I went out anyway. Those informal outings with my drinking buddies felt like a fun (and deserved) distraction from work rather than a process of self-development in and of itself. In retrospect, I now realize how formative those years of partying really were for my career. I learned a ton of social lessons that have tremendously helped me later in life. Of course, you do not actually have to drink alcohol or go to bars to develop these business socialization skills, but the fast-paced social environment involved in nightlife does provide a great setting for that type of personal development. This is an important lesson for passiona

Friday 14 August 2015    Updated EULA terms let Microsoft invade your Windows 10 computer in search of counterfeit software. Section 7b – or “Updates to the Services or Software, and Changes to These Terms” – of  Microsoft's Services EULA  stipulates that it “may automatically check your version of the software and download software update or configuration changes, including those that prevent you from accessing the Services, playing counterfeit games, or using unauthorised hardware peripheral devices.” This means that, if you use Windows 10, a Windows phone, or any of  Microsoft's other services , Redmond can disable any games you've pirated or devices you've unlawfully hacked. While it's incredibly clear what Microsoft means by “counterfeit games”, the wording “unauthorised hardware peripheral devices” is a little hazy. Does this mean Microsoft can now block uncertified PC or illegally-modified Xbox One and Xbox 360 controllers? Furthermore, Micro

Learn about check boxes, option buttons, and toggle buttons Check box     Allows a user to select or unselect one or more values in a group of choices. You can select more than one check box at a time on a worksheet or in a group box. For example, you can use a check box to create an order form that contains a list of available items or in an inventory tracking application to show whether an item has been discontinued. Check box (Form control) Check box (ActiveX control) Option button     Allows a single choice from a limited set of mutually exclusive choices. An option button (or radio button) is usually contained in a group box or frame. For example, you can use an option button on an order form so that a user can select one of a range of sizes, such as small, medium, large, or extra large. Or you can use it for a choice of shipping options, such as ground, express, or overnight. Option button (Form control) Option button (ActiveX control) Toggle butto
