Was a freaking huge "wolf" spider in my house. Shocked

Sorry Scott, I had to eliminate it.


Puss. The big SOB outside my game room I let live.

I always let spiders live (as long as they aren't bigger than me) I figure I hate bugs more than spiders and spiders eat bugs.

Why would my computers internal clock keep running slow.
It falls behind between 2-5 minutes a day.

WTF could be the cause.
Someone said the CMOS battery could be getting low.
Which i have never heard of happening but it could be like a watch battery i guess....

using you as a moral compass is kinda weird. It's like asking a thief if it's okay to steal something.

CMOS logic chips require a crystal occilator to run, this occilator requires a certain voltage to be put across it in order to operate its specified frequency. If the battery is dying, then this clock runs slower, accounting for the delay you are experiencing.  Replacing the battery should fix the problem.

Yes, replace your CMOS battery.  That happened to me before too.  Quite easy.  Just remove the old and insert the new.  All good!:)

You may have to reset some of the settings in your bios.  This shouldn't be a problem as long as you keep the computer plugged into the wall (but turned off).  

You may want to write down some of your BIOS settings before replacing the battery though, just in case.

Those guests could be members that aren't logged in, too. People who don't use cookies or anything and are just swinging by to check in on any interesting topics.

True, but how many people disable cookies? I would imagine that only really paranoid people would do such a thing.

Norton's Personal Firewall is the absolute worst. Every ten seconds or so, you get a pop-up asking permission for some TCP connection to go through, as if they can't regulate something as small as that on their own.
