Why do I think drugs in general should be legal? I believe that the harm done to liberty and freedom, in the name of 'protecting' us from such evils outweighs the damage done by the drugs. In other words, if all drugs were legal, you would undermine and destroy most of the gangs we are now...

Facts are steroids have been legal for a real long time, and, now, they change their minds... It's been industry standard for a LONG time, football in the 70-80's in particular. I'm getting to be a bit of a libertarian on all this stuff. Marijuana legal? Should be, as should pretty much...

PCI Expansion • 1x 64-bit 133/100/66MHz PCI-X (3.3V) slot • 2x 64-bit 100/66MHz PCI-X (3.3V) slots • 2x 32-bit 33MHz PCI-X (5V) slots I could have the Megaraid card in the wrong slot.... Maybe I should check... Tomorrow....

Very funny. Anyone have max transfer rates on that 'old controller'? I've found two drives is good, more is point of diminishing returns in Raid O, with Scsi 15k drives. I could be wrong. Could be my old 320 Megaraid 1 controller can't get over 120 mb/sec....

I know, but, it's a good article... ATTO:

Here's Davids new system: http://www.nextlevelhardware.com/storage/battleship/ http://www.nextlevelhardware.com/storage/battleship/1231ninedrive.jpg

Here's my boot drive, not an SSD, but not bad...

Udaman: another great post. Thank you! HMMM. Wonder what I'd get if I pulled my storage drives, and ran 5 15k cheetahs for a boot disk??? You don't think that's excessive, do you???? Plus, I'd probably get different 15k drives, so, I'd have to buy a whole new set...

Udaman, you are da man. Thanks for a great, informative post, on topic...

Also ran my first script to correct a event error on startup. Does User Account Control do anything worth anything?

I CALLED them. This was going to be them talking me through what it could possibly be, not actually working on the machine, or coming out. It appears Mercutio hit it. I had turned on one of the settings for security on my router. Filter Internet NAT Redirection And, when I went back to...

Set the router to default, and, now it connects to our unsecured network. Now to secure it...

Forgot to mention that the event log has many errors, and, MSFT doesn't seem to have any answers for them...

This just keeps getting better and better. Since the computer was bought through Best Buy, Dell no longer provides warranty, or tech support on it. I called Best Buy, and, they want 80 dollars to go through why the wireless isn't working. For all they know it could have been just the switch was...

More progress. Windows 7 runs, and, is somewhat able to be setup on this computer. I tried XP, but, it apparently doesn't have a SATA driver,so it doesn't see the drive, and, I don't know what or where to get that driver. More work then I want to do. Going back to Vista...

Want to buy a Dell Inspriion, cheap? SO comes for a small additional charge...

How many poor souls actually bought this POS? It's really scary. Plus, I can't get rid of the bull? Anyway, I have a legit copy of XP Pro, and, I just offered to load it on to the computer, as I have Windows 7, which is WAY faster then Vista. Oddly, the guy that bought her the computer is not...

This was an update file, and, I deleted it. I do a Nero Express install, and that's it. It also seems that the theme files for 2003 are gone from MSFT's website...

It's just about the right size...

No disk defrager in W7, either...

Hi I had to reinstall my OS recently. It would start up, then, after going for a bit on startup, shutdown, then restart. Nod32 found an infected file with Nero, actually a Nero update. Anyone else have such a problem?

David: Better question would be where would I find the right XP drivers for an Inspirion? Don't think Dell wants to give them away...

Hi My SO wants a laptop, for pretty much just basic Word processing, and internet wireless access around the house. She currently was given a POS Dell, Inspirion, with Vista Home on it. If that thing is returned, what would you all recommend for a laptop that might last 3 years... Keep in mind...

I just wasted 3 hours on Vista Home, trying to do the most basic connection to a wireless network. Don't know if it's hardware, or software, but, I'm done with both Vista and Dells... Windows 7 is very fast, on a 4200 rpm drive, on my Panasonic CF 51. As I said in another thread, the true...

I love Dell. I just looked at their website, and, getting XP Pro, what, a 10 year old OS, is 150 dollar charge over and above Vista... How would I know if the drivers were even going to work with XP? My answer is either get rid of it, or, I wonder if the Windows 7 Beta would work on it????

Handruin: This is an incredible POS for a computer. I feel like shooting it. I can't get the simplest functions to work, like connecting to the internet... It totally deserves the comments above, and, I'd never have bought this POS for anyone but a serious enemy...

SO got a Dell Inspirion for a birthday present. How do I make Vista work like XP? She can barely get around XP, much less Vista...

August, but, it's supposed to be registered in 30 days...

I've got this up and running, and, it's the fastest OS I've ever had on this machine, despite the 4200 rpm drive. Everything is actually using and working in RAM. It's making me seriously think about converting my XP DISK OVER and, so far, everything seems to work, just fine. I wish XP would get...

Blinding on this machine, despite the speed test giving it a 1.0. It appears the internet connection is, even though it says wireless, functioning through the ethernet cable I have connected. Getting over 12 MB/SEC, the down to about 8. That's as fast as my desktop. Oddly, the connection...

I'm installing it on my Panasonic Laptop spare drive. Appears to have a couple driver issues, not shocking. It started fine, and the net was working, then installed some updates, and the net connection quit working. Maybe an issue with my router... We'll see. My general feeling is similar...

Whoops;-) My bad.

David: two strokes mix oil in to the gas to lubricate the engine. No oil, no smell, burnt out engine. See if you can move the compressor, and use a long hose, to somewhere that is outside your nose.... It could also be an exhaust leak. Make sure the compressor has a really good, sealed exhaust...

By a newer copy of WPerfect, like WP 12, cheap. From my copy, it appears to be able to open back to Word Perfect 4.2, and, it can then save as Ms word 97/2003.

Thanks I got it. Using the iPod link is a bit counter intuitive for me who hates most all things Mac...

How do you get that to work with 2003 Server?

That's kind of what I thought. I have a home theatre setup already, all Klipsch, and it rocks. That said, that setup, for the money, looks pretty amazing. I've got a nice set of Yamaha speakers that I had been using for my SO's radio, but, she never used it, since for some reason, I've never...

Thank you for the information. Didn't realize the chipset worked so well for HTsystems. How do you take standard stereo speakers and wire them to a computer, and, if you do, is the output enough to power the speakers? I've got a couple Yamaha speakers sitting around, and, they have the...

Now, on a serious note: I'm not really thinking onboard video, or audio are a great thing. Learned that lesson when my current onboard sound out got bent by my 14 pound cat wrenching on the wires a bit. Now, the speaker jacks have to be inserted just right, or, I loose two speakers, and, the...

What component combinations would you consider for a Home Theatre computer, ONLY a home theatre computer????

"Greg, Panasonic is ~100 billion dollar group of Japanese companies and Samsung is ~174 billion dollar Korean company. Neither are likely to go out of business before your warranty expires. Are you talking about my personal warranty on life, or a computer OS?

Panasonic had stuff in Hawaii in the 90's in Japan that was only a wetdream over here. The advantage of the Japanese business model is they tend to look at profits on a decade basis, not a 1/4 year. Steve Jobs resurrection of Apple means he manages to snake oil people into thinking his...

It looks like the Intel SATA SSD's are coming of age. So, I guess that means I need to buy a Panasonic notebook that has SATA capability. Any suggestions? CF 52?

Panasonic=Samsung? Owned by now?

HMMM. Looks like I better start looking at Costco... What's Panasonics warranty?

2003 Web edition supports 4 processor, or at least two, plus two hyperthreaded. Is it possible to use 2003 Webedition on a machine with two dual core processors, or quadcores?

I was looking at this Panasonic in particular. Liked the price break: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16889187081 Thoughts?

Hi all OK I'm trying to figure out what LCD monitor to buy to upgrade from my Panasonic 32" tv, with S video in. Now, I'm looking for an LCD, a bit bigger, with HDMI and Svideo input. Any suggestions? Which Samsung, or panasonic?

I never thought of Mercutio as a happy person... Now, that said, Anyone tried: Bluebeam PDF Revu Standard Edition?
