Darling, we don't do ATI here. :)

Similar to mine, Mubs. I got the Spyder 2 Pro. First impressions are very good. It's professionally packaged, has a very sensible, practical licence agreement that doesn't cripple your ability to use it on several machines at the same site, installs without fuss, and has a well thought-out...

If it was only for my own screen, Mark, that would be so. But there are several difficulties with that simple theory. First, I frequently use 6 different screens (two of them identical, but the other four all different) and sometimes a couple of others. I doubt my ability to adjust them all to...

Does anyone here know much about monitor callibration and colour spaces and associated topics? Tannin just bought a fancy callibration device and associated software and, typically, expects me to figure out the best way to use it. I've done a little reading up, but have some questions. No...

Oh. I've got lotz of them. Hmmmm, let's see .... Matrox G400, Gforce 4MX ...... are these good ones? Can I play too?

What'z a GPU?

Awesome! And it couldn't happen to a nicer bloke.

And here was me thinking that Time would be posting to explain that that put-the-close-buttons-in-the-wrong-places fix in Firefox that you need yet another blood extension for is something that you get right out of the box with a proper browser like Opera. Wrong again..... By the way, what's...

I didn't get a model number, but it was about two to three years old, according to the owner, Antec power supply and Antec badge on the front (part of the case, not added on as a sticker or anything). There are no excuses for this idiocy, it is a standard-size midi-tower. Smallish as midi-towers...

Guy rang up today, had some problems. From his description, it sounded like it was probably a power supply going bad. Told him to bring it in and we would swap out the PSU. So he turned up an hour or two later, some two or three year old shiny silver thing with a window in it. Pentium 4 2800...

1: Quite so, but it lets me get the various anti-spyware programs up to date, run housecall & etc, and at least get rid of the bulk of the problem, leaving any few resistant nasties for a subsequent scan. 2: I dislike thumb drives. "Hate" is probably too strong a word, but I avoid using them as...

Correction, steps 1 to 5 in that order. (You know, thois is the only forum I visit that doesn't let you edit posts. How crappy is that?)

In fact, a suspiciously fast Spybot scan is an excellent indicator that you have a nasty infection. We do around 10 spyware removal jobs a week (me and Tannin, I mean, with occassional help from the Soup Nazi) and I reckon we are pretty good at it - practice makes perfect, after all. Here is...

Whoooah Tannin! Are you ever going to be in trouble when Belinda finds out what you just said! (Nahhh. She never comes here. There is less chance of Belinda finding out what I just said than there is of you finding extraterrestrial intelligence in northwest Victoria.) Err .. Tannin? I've got...

mummy, i tink i just had a buffer overflow. i'm probably in love.

Hmmm ... it doesn't display inline. Is there a workaround for that?

I took this one of Tannin a while ago. Thought you might like to see how the old boy is staggering along. Doesn't change much, does he?

I have got the very thing for you, i. An absolute sure-fire method. Send me a little something for my trouble (such as US$1,000,000) and I'll let you in on the details. (If you haven't got US$1,000,000, that's OK, just send all you have.) (Unless you only have buttonns. I don't like buttons.)

Nope. What's more, we all hate you, and I have absolutely no idea why anyone would wear that tie with those socks.

oh

Hey! Wait up! I thought we didn't like this thread at the Tannin House? Aren't you avoiding it, Tannin? (Pretty much, Orange Furball. No big deal, it's just too long and too disorganised. I tend not to read it.) So what am I doing posting in it? (I'm sure you will figure it out, Small...

Sorry David, I'm not much good at stability, when it's all said and done. Can I interest you in some lunacy? I'm good at lunacy!

I don't even know why you bother hanging out at Storage Forum.

Don't you even get angry anymore? Nope.

Tannin? (Yes?) You are an extrememy boring person. (Yes. I know that Tea.)

Hey, Tannin? (Yes, little one?) How many RAID systems do we have? (None. I don't like RAID.) Oh. OK. How many external SATA setups? (None.) Er ... Internal SATA? (Nope.) SCSI? (Outside the ancient Cheetah X15s? Nope.) 10K IDE? (Nada. Zip. Not touching Western Digital. You know that.)...

Shhhhhh! Don't tell Tannin! (I just ordered a Samsung 214T) (On Buck's recommendation, by the way. Time, I looked up the Fujitsu you mentioned but Ingram Micro don't stock it and I don't have any other Fujitsu supliers that I can think of.) (I didn't ask the price of the Samsung, in case it...

:)

Keeping the volts in?

OK. I get it. So the while one is for ones, and the black one is for zeros ..... what's the red one for?

Fax still has a lot of uses. For starters, spam isn't a major problem with it. There are never format compatibility problems. No Microsoft software f*kcups either. Etc etc. I seem to remember Tanhin posting at length on this.

Listening from a safe distance outside Tannin's pen, I hear "grumble grumble slurp slurp HONEYWELL! Remember them well slurp grumble slop"

OK, I pulled Tannin's snout out of the lunchtime trough long enough to extract the following information: * He remembers the second one you describe clearly, now that you have stirred up a few of his elderly RNA molecules. * Not sure about the 1st one. Probably has to do with destruction of...

And here I was wondering why I practically never visit this thread anymore ...

Are we talking square ones here, Explorer? Tannin remembers square ones. Not sure about the colour.

Bozo, you are doing an awesome job of keeping me up to date on Vista. Don't stop!

1: Because there weren't any red ones. 2: One foot at a time. 3: With elephants, it's not really a matter of "let". It just sort of happens. One day I was out innocently walking past one of Ballarat's larger banana plantations (only eating ones that were hanging out over the fence of course) and...

Errr ... he can't go on. Doesn't know the rest of the words. Which, now that I come to think about it, is one of the things I respect about Tannin. He never did take kindly to bullshit.

I agree with Tannin. I don't know it and I refuse to learn it, except possibly one of Tannin's slightly-corrected-for-accuracy versions. Besides, in my case, the actual, visible physical difference between standing up and sitting down is largely a matter of opinion. Comes of having short legs.

No I couldn't. For starters, I write better with my pointing-at-the-ground paws than I do with my pointing-up-in-the-air paws. And secondly, 17 pink gins ain't hardly getting started. But the actual reality is ... I couldn't do it, drunk or sober. I don't know the national anthem.

Nope, not looking for wireless network cable this time, I have to try a data recovery on a customer's hard drive. I need to do this stuff one in a blue moon. I really don't have time to try it very often, nor to spend too long on any given drive, so a reasonably low-cost package that takes most...

I don't doubt it for an instant, Buck. Hell, there are green things in my fridge that are better at writing web pages than Webingo is. The real question is ... how could you do a worse job? I think you could, as I have faith in you, but you'd have to put some genuine thought and effort into...

Not much good, I'm afraid. I found some left-pawed spanners down at the local hardware shop, but they said they didn't have anything at all by way of a wrench for my back paw. The green and orange striped paint is on backorder. Struggling to find anywhere that stocks solid birfucated...

I don't get it either.

Can anyone recommend a good brand for me, available in Australia? I need some good quality wireless network cables. Thanks

I thought the "F" word was "Compaq"?

PS: Did she have an accident? She seems to be missing quite a lot of fur.

wahhhaHHHauung hergolop! pleaseno NONONO! Wauuuuggh!

Cheaper than all thse girlfriendsssssssssssssssssssses like a certain person who visits here that I had better not name. (Hint: his initials are "David During".)

Followed the standard procedure, Bozo: 1: disconnect old Maxtor drive from the Compaq. (Also add some RAM and a few other things) 2: Partition and format a new 120GB drive on the dedicated hard drive partitioning and formatting machine - much faster and more reliable that way 3: Fit drive top...
