A quarter of eight? Strike me pink and bugger me lizzard up a gum tree, no barstard should ever use language like that.

bring vs take Huh? What's so hard about that? You bring things to something or someone, you take things away from something or someone. Am I missing something?

Easier version of i's post: than compare things then a particular time

Yike! Don't do that. You'll pull all your fur out.

Three thousand five hundred and seventy four sheep. Three thousand five hundred and seventy five sheep. Three thousand five hundred and seventy six sheep. (Hey, Tannin, are you sure that other one was a goat? It looked like a sheep.) Three thousand five hundre — (And how do you tell the...

(Errr, Tannin?) (Now what?) (What comes after seventeen? I think I forgot.) (Agggargh!)

Anybody done a renditon of God Save the Queen arranged for jaws harp in the key of b flat minor, standing on one foot naked in the snow wearing your last week's underwear suspended from your left earlobe by a paperclip with one eye shut while reading War and Peace and looking for a taxi? Err...

Beautiful!

Awww, I'm cold! I really really don't like the deep freeze. And stop looking at me like that. I'm not going to say a single naughty word. Ten minutes in there is way too long. But Tannin .... I got to thinking .... what on earth did the chicken say?!

Aww! Not fair! I don't want to get into the fu....... Mumph...

I can say dickhead if I want to, and you can't stop me.

But he is a dickhead!

What a dickhead. Oh, he's fine with getting his suit looking nice and new and wealthy, but look at the chord he's playing! It's a non-chord. It's a bloody G chord in the wrong place! All about looks and bloody photo opportunities, a real mess if you actually were to listen to it instead of...

Are you including Splash?

Eeek! It's touched a VX Pro! It's probably got girl germs. Wash your hands with soap and water!

Oh, excuse me. I just realised that the entire concept of Intelligent Design is founded on the premise that the designer Himself is ... well ... intelligent. Woops! I don't think that word really applies to Tannin. Can we rename it to be more in keeping with real world processes as they...

Bahhh. What a load of nonsense! Anyone with half a grain of sense can see that all the world's creatures were created via a process of Intelligent Design. I myself am living proof of it.

Tannin doesn't own a gun.

Not! I'm a real imaginary person!

I am not a sock puppet!

sorry, didn't really mean it

If David was a girl, he'd be a tart.

Well posted, Steve. Have a banana!

There you go Tannin. Ask a stupid question, get entirely too honest an answer. BTW, do we count market cap in terms of number of dollars or amount of real-world street cred? If the latter, then Doug the Handruin outcaps Maxtor's marketing department by about 40 to 1. But they probably only...

My dollar, by the way, seems to reside at the bottom of the stream, slowly bumping its way along in the current to join the ocean of other dollars I have spent these past few years.

My word, you are poetic today, CityK

Tannin!

Taz, your numbers don't add up. Here is how Texas compares with the mainland states. WA: 2,529,875 km² Qld: 1,730,648 km² NT: 1,349,129 km² SA: 983,482 km² NSW: 800,642 km² Texas: 696,241 km2 Victoria: 227,416 km² No single station is anything like half the size of the entire Northern...

I hear what you are saying, Merc. But it's also dumb to spend longer automating tasks than you spend doing the tasks themselves. I could very easily wind up doing that if I don't think things through first. Bear it in mind that most of the donkey-work tasks are things I can do in low-priority...

Thanks Merc. I really appreciate the trouble you take with explanations like these, and the wealth of knowledge that goes into them. But that wouldn't work for us, we just do too many different types of machines. Wild, off-the-top-of-my-furry-head guess at the OS mix: * 98SE: 30% * XP Stupid...

OK, I give up. Now that Kristi has gone to university and I'm the new Queen of the Workshop, there are going to be some changes made. There has got to be an answer out there somewhere, but I can't find it. I want a script to perform two tasks: (a) Configure the Windows desktop the way it...

Great post, illi. One point I disagree on: we have observed better performance by better pastes too frequently to entirely disbelieve it. It's not much, but in the old days when even 1 degree was worth fighting for, Arctic Silver delivered it where crappy white stuff didn't. Too many times for...

Quite so, Doug. Our situations are a little different. You will most likely never use up the tube of AS before it gets lost, turns into putty, mistaken for toothpaste and swallowed, stood on by an elephant, whatever. For me, on the other paw, evrery time I use a bit of Arctic Silver, it's one...

Tannin, that ain't a new idea. When I was charged with hijacking that truckload of bananas, the police had a lineup to make sure of my ID. They made me go and stand in front of a brick wall, dressed as usual in my fur, and got five guys in suits and ties to stand next to me. Oddly enough, the...

:o Jo-Jo! Where you been? Wow! Good to see you. :lol:

As mentioned above, MoveOnBoot can move or delete. It did what I needed last night anyway - i.e., remove a nasty set of viruses on a customer's machine that I couldn't touch any other way. The tricky bit was getting it to install, as you had to boot in normal mode and even after extensive work...

Now I'm confused. Stating the obvious? Um, yes, maybe. At least that's how it's supposed to work. Missing my point? I'm not sure about that. I wasn't making a point, juzt looking for a suitable uility. Seem to have found it now, though that will have to wait for proper testing. Assume a virus...

Thankyou Buck. Yes, some good stuff in that thread. Groltz provided a link to a thing called Unlocker, which wasn't quite what I was after, but the nice people at that site kindly provide a list of other programs in the same general sort of department. This is an excellent idea which I wish...

What's the best program to use when you need to delete a locked file? You know the routine: you need to clean a virus or other nasty off a system, but you can't delete the exe/dll/etc file itself because Windows says it's in use, you can remove the reference to it via Hijackthis or Regedit, but...

I'm a girl Greg! Or at least I've always supposed so; it's kind of hard to tell when you are covered in orange fur all over. If (as Greg says) it's only US$15 between the 160 and 320 cards, by all means go with the 320, Bill. If it's AU$150 or something like that, then it's not worth it. Greg...

68 pin = standard, normal, I don't wear my underwear outside my clothes, everyday SCSI. Since maybe 6 years ago, everything in 68-pin SCSI has been LVD. LVD Stands for Low Voltage Differential, or possibly Louder drives make me Very Deaf. This is the normal sort of SCSI these days. In practical...

Possibly because the poor little Cyrix FPU started doing the floating-point bug test suite in December 1997 but it hasn't got to the end of the third loop yet. Tune back in around 2008 and we will see if it passed or not.

Tannin, can you read? (Huh? Of course I can. Why do you ask?) Well, according to a website I know about, what you said about Bill being wrong was not correct. (Gahh. What does the average website know about CPUs and history?) Well, Tannin, the site I looked it up on says that what you said...
