    Question using my TV as a 3rd monitor.......50 feet away

    that's as it should be. it will actually display the name of the display, you can see in my screen shot i have a Planar 27". is your TV at the end of the 50' hdmi cable have built in speakers? if not, does it have an audio out port?

    Question using my TV as a 3rd monitor.......50 feet away

    I assume your 'tv' that's on the other end of the 50' hdmi cable has built in speakers. check the sound settings, control panel. some apps allow you to pick which sound 'path' to send app sounds to. some don't. check to see what's default, which is probably your integrated sound...

    The Animated GIF Thread

    a few years ago, they changed the rule to force swimmers to break the surface by 15 meeters. just before the rule, it went from 1 swimmer staying underwater the whole time and winning easily to all of them underwater the whole time. I thought it was pretty amazing and a new full underwater...

    I don't get how some guys can be fully mobile in a day or 2. my op was thursday afternoon, it's now sunday afternoon and i still don't want to move. there's zero pain if you don't move at all. anything that uses your stomach muscles hurts though. it's almost like a hernia i guess? my...

    Aliens: Colonial Marines

    developers were streaming multiplayer on Twitch, playing on xbox. seemed meh. they were bad at the game, so hard to tell how balanced it was. it played a lot like L4D, each side got a turn at aliens(infected) or marines(survivors). there's at least 3 types of aliens i think. the normal...

    Rage of Bahamut - ios/android

    Ha! That last war was hilarious. I came in late and it was close. Then they popped that thing that makes you have to beat their def leader. Finally I feel useful! I pop the attack buff and wipe him. Then burn 9hp in 3x full attacks. My last attack left us with less than a 100 point lead...

    ah, i shoulda looked harder, was an quick reaction just after waking up. silvercoin process seems much improved, and reading people are getting good rewards. if we're active enough so everyone gets 30 coins a day to pass around, that could offset the cost moderate activity.

    Home Theater In a Box ?

    my 3 year old can use our media center remotes (basically small wireless keyboards w/ a track ball or pad) to navigate netflix, Dora, Curious George, etc. if he gets a hold of the receiver remote, he has the uncanny ability to reprogram is entirely in seconds.
