From my understanding, the commands to safely eject a usb flash drive is now written into the generic drivers on all windows programs, so its safe to pull the drive out cold.

Also, how is it that the files could get corrupted? When I pull the drive out, I always close the files first, so theyre no longer in use. So doesnt this mean the files are not being read/written, and there is no risk of corruption?

However, in class, some people have criticized me for not 'stopping' the drive before pulling it out.

Simply put: who is right?

i have a pre-owned puter that i got recently to replace an old one. i needed more ram, so i figured i'd crack open my old one and put the ram into the new one. well, the sticks won't fit. the little notch on it doesn't line up right or something, and i can't see in there well enough to know exactly. am i doing something wrong? or is it just that my puter is only set to use specific sticks? also, i think the power supply is shot, it shut down fine the last time it was used, but it won't turn on now. i've switched plugs and cords and everything, and nothing seems to work. is there a simple test i can do to see if it's that? (without taking out that power supply and putting in my old one)

As the question says, I'm looking for recommendations of a dolby 5.1 sound system for a PC with excellent sound quality. I don't want to spend more than $100. If anyone has excellent recommendations for a 2.1, don't hesistate to post those as well. I'm mostly going to use these for gaming and watching movies.

I'm looking to power a new nvidia 8800 GT (not GTS or GTX). My current PC is an HP a1730n, which has 2GB of RAM, an AMD 5000+ proc, and right now, an integrated card. THe stock power supply is still in there, with 350 W of power. I know I need a new one and I want to get a power supply thats under $65-70 I don't mind approaching the limit, but I want a reliable power supply without spending too much.
