    Motherboard 64bit PCI / PCI X confusions

    This is from a review of another board (tyan) but I think it may apply somehow.

    Superman ( Christopher Reeve) has died

    I was surprised as well. Also surprised it was heart failure caused by a systemic infection of a wound.

    Faster Merdia - When, Where?

    Yes I think it is some sort of conspiracy to keep these blank media prices high. They (CDR) were real low a while ago and now I can't seem to find any. What gives?

    Faster Merdia - When, Where?

    CD/DVD storage units

    I was thinking that if they were making you type in the disc, why not just plop it in the cd drive and have it read the title and contents information and store that on the computer? Probably avoid all that typing and increase the searching ability.

    CD/DVD storage units

    I thought the demo was weak... little window I could barely see so I couldn't make out the software interface. And a database that couldn't search the CD's content? It would seem so easy to just add that ability. But then again I keep all my cds in binders and a cardboard box.

    Something Random

    Mowing the lawn isn't the problem for me. It is battling the crab grass/weeds. This spring we've decided to plow it all and reseed. Lawn service? You think we are made of money ;)

    Maxtor 120GB on Silicon Image Controller woes

    Just so you all know, in order to use the answer function for the modem on hold app, you can't use the phone port of the modem. You have to split the line and hook the phone up to that. Or use a phone from somewhere else in the house. Basically every phone will work but the one you expect to...

    Need cheap web hosting for small site (not mine).

    You might know but there will be two charges, registering the domain and hosting the website. Registering the domain should be no more than $10/year and is usually done through the company you buy the web hosting space from. Hosting for his usage should be no more than $10/month with many...

    Zit woes

    I had a rash on my chest that I would get in the summer mostly. It was a fungal infection. A little fungal cream and a couple of weeks later it was gone without a trace of ever coming back. I had it for like 3 years before I went to the dermatologist.

    Password Manager

    This turns out to be due to bittorrent. I recently installed it to get the latest slackware iso images. And since it takes a while even on broadband, I leave the computer alone and go do other stuff. When I come back the computer is locked: numlock doesn't respond and the screen won't return...

    Password Manager

    I thought I was going to have to bail on this program. It was running so slow it was nearly unusable. And my machine locked up when I went away to give Liam a bath and put him to bed. I watched the processes in task manager and apparently nod32 really doesn't like this program. It is probably...

    Password Manager

    I downloaded it and am trying it out. It looks nice enough for my use. Maybe I'll put the database on my usb flash drive. I'm trying to think of a good password for the master key. I tried the random generator but that was too difficult to remember.

    Zit woes

    About 2 weeks ago I had a zit on the back of my neck just above the hair line and to the right. It got infected, really bad. I had a fever and shivers and lots of pain. I went to see the doc on Tuesday and they gave me antibiotics and sent me to see a surgeon today. The surgeon drained most...

    SF vs. SR

    I prefer SF for the Signal to Noise Ratio. Though the posting rate is a bit lower than I'd like. I visit several times a day and no new posts :( At SR I might read two to five posts a day. I read virtually all the SF posts at first and follow the ones I'm remotely interested in.

    [NEWS] - Infineon produces MRAM prototype

    I think they'll have problems shrinking it. Hard drives will still be around for a long time for larger storage and much higher rewrite ability. I think it may allow an almost instantaneous boot drive. This will actually be the coolest thing as computers will approach the same instant on as...

    XP Picture and Fax Viewer

    Is there any way to get this on Windows 2000? I often have to view photos but not edit them and waiting for the gimp to load is annoying. So I'm looking for a free viewer that would load as quickly as this XP built-in app.
