Hi I'm wondering how one gets an email address: Z.....@post.harvard.edu Seems strange that a person in LA would still have a Harvard email address. Is this some sort of scam?

Keep in mind, if you load the 2008 on a disk with Linux, the disk defragger will totally screw your entire disk, and, you get to start over. Does something to grub...

It took a lot longer, but, my 21" Hitachi just died, and, I'm pretty sure it was from being so close to the other monitor. There is a warning, and, I ignored it...I WAS WRONG!

If anybody wants it, I've got one of the Matrox cables, but, IIRC, it's DVI to dual analog, and that was part of this article, as well. The Matrox 750 and 650, with a 100 dollar software upgrade, and that cable, would support 3 screens. Didn't work real well, since putting monitors side by...

What makes public education is those kids that make it through, and, that you work with and help. At a high school, Mt. Diablo, I was a sub, long term. I wanted to get the kids in the gym to play basketball, and, the AD, the principal, the basketball coach, thought I was subverting the youth...

We have one talented, gorgeous, and no makeup long ball softball player that's going on a full ride. Wonderful sweet girl. Brick house. Another that I was thinking of when I wrote this is just gorgeous, unique, and wants to be an actress. She has a very unique face, Sofia, but bigger body...

I should be more of a low life. Some of the girls I taught were Playboy material, and it made the low pay worth it.

More then props. Making it through parenting, keeping yourself going, getting into a 4 year school, and, I suspect that the students Merc has have to deal with similar issues to the kids I deal with, well, it's bloody AMAZING that they could get through.

Tea, been hitting the rum again.???

Thanks Sam. Just got the DVD Ultra software for 17 dollars. One step at a time...

Hi I'm wondering what sort of system people with their own businesses use for tax organization? What software, etc.? Thanks G Santilli

Well, I have with HD TV. It plays perfectly on the Samsung screen, with beautiful color, and uses 20-30% of the cpu power avaliable. I was also wondering if you knew of some other way of having the gpu take part of the processing load, other then the above codecs...and, what exactly it is, so I...

OK: From ATI white paper: "The Radeon X1000 family is also ready for upcoming video formats and display formats. In particular, it is the first product line capable of accelerating encoding, decoding, and playback of H.264 and VC-1 codecs, which will form the basis of the next-generation Blu-Ray...

Why am I out of luck?

That would be nice, but, so far, no one's setup a faster AGP card, that has consistent drivers. HIS and a few others are adapting faster gpus, but, seem to not have software that uses the features the gpus are capable of. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814161226 HIS...

The ATI 1650 will run Ultra High settings in Quake 4, with anti-aliasing off, provided I turn off the second monitor. Doesn't seem to like the second monitor being on, period...

HMMM. David, I may need help moving. Are you around;-) ? I just enabled the DVD and HD in blockbuster. Of the 334 movies in my queue, 2 were avaliable in HD, 1 in Blu Ray. Still didn't get an answer from the girl about the TV. Appears she only works a couple days while going to school...

I stand corrected. It's a PS3, and they are around for about 400 bucks, for the cheap one. That's out. Looks like the DVD's from the video store are getting to be a bit more, Merc. About 400-500, from my quick glance. I've got the 3 ship at a time, 3 free movies on return at the video store...

Bozo: How does it look, and how did you move it???

Hi I'm wondering if anyone has tried the new Blu Ray players/burners, and, what their experience has been? Which version of PowerDVD, and if burning, which version of Nero, and, how well does it work? Newegg has this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16827106259 which...

The girl is attractive, young, and, I don't know how much she knows about electronics. She said, "Like 38" so who knows? However, thanks to everyones help, I now know it's more curiosity value as anything else as to what exactly the thing is. As soon as I get a better idea of what it is, you...

Not quite yet. I'm not paying 129 dollars for a BluRay burner. I'm waiting until they are around 50 before I even consider it, and, until the video stores actually have more then one row of 20 with Blue Ray disks. Or, my online program offers Blue Ray disks. That's one area. You are correct...

Thanks David. I'm more curious then anything else, both about the TV and the girl. Bikini shot would be fun... I'm old enough to not have to chase everything, but, she's nice, and fun to talk to. "Find someone better than the Blockbuster grrrrl." Rarely do I find something really uncalled...

"Someone I know has a 38" Sony, but, needs a HD capable TV to go with her Blue Ray"xbox360". The Sony is not HD capable. Now, it should have S-video, and, my ATI 1650 has a S-Video out. Anyone using such a TV as a primary monitor?" My guess is this is a giant CRT. I've been trying to hook up...

David, I don't agree. I think they are worth about 30-50 bucks, and, it will be a year or so, and they will be down there. Either that, or no one's going to buy that junk, at that price...

WHY are Blue Ray players SOOOO expensive for computers???? Tooling costs? Price fixing? Both? ....

OK: This is the part I'm not getting: the HIS card lists the s-video out port as both s-video out, and, HDTV http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=3805441&CatId=2234 ?????????

HMMMM. The problem is still needing 2 DVI ports, one for the Samsung, and one for the TV, using HDMI... Niether card has two dvi ports. Would the Analog to DVI adapter, connected to the cable you are using work??? Kind of doubt it, but, I've been wrong before. Also, drivers for 2003 seem...

OK. David: What cable do you use to connect your video card to your TV? I gather it's a s-video out, that with some sort of converter, goes to HDMI???? Where did you get the cable? I can't find the card you are using in AGP. First, my 1650 ATI, other then having one Analog, and one DVI, and...

OK: I didn't check the back of this monitor, but, it was the one I really wanted, view wise: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824116123 Problem is, according to the specs, it doesn't have a DVI connector. So, how do you connect a 1650 ATI card to a HDMI port????? What...

Thanks David Ati 1650 has one analog, S-video, and DVI. DVI is now taken. Considering getting rid of all the CRT's, thanks to Kali power costs. I checked the specs, and, the Samsung takes a good 2/3 less power then the 21" monitors I've got. They take half what the 19" takes I'm typing this...

Went with one of these: http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductReview.aspx?Item=N82E16824001271&SortField=0&SummaryType=0&Pagesize=10&SelectedRating=5&PurchaseMark=&VideoOnlyMark=False Bought it from Costco. Controls aren't easy but, they work. Pretty incredible difference from a 21" CRT. For...

Hi I've been looking at LCD's, and, Costco has a 24" Spectre for about 320 bucks. However, when I look at feedback, they seem to have an early, high failure rate. Is this characteristic of LCD's? Is it the new monitors going through growing pains? For this reason, and support, I'm tempted to...

Thanks. Girl at blockbuster picked one up, and, it doesn't work well with her Blue Ray Xbox, so I figured it probably wouldn't work as a monitor, but, I thought I'd check.

Hi Someone I know has a 38" Sony, but, needs a HD capable TV to go with her Blue Ray. The Sony is not HD capable. Now, it should have S-video, and, my ATI 1650 has a S-Video out. Anyone using such a TV as a primary monitor? The other option is either a 22" Samsung, or a 25" Viewsonic.

Being the cat in the bowling alley: What are the differences between XP, 2003, and Vista, that make Vista require so much faster hardware, and so much ram? Thanks

If the guys that did WINE were more intrested in making office apps, rather then games work, it would be wonderful. Yes, Synaptic works, and works well. Course you have to get used to the Linux apps. I like the idea of having a WINE developer actually get mainstream, or even industry unique...

The computer is just three years old, and, it's just out of warranty, which of course I find out when one of the speakers dies... It's an intel processor, 1.6 ghz, stepped, Pentium R M. Drive it's running off is 4200 rpm, the one that came in it, but, it was actually reasonably fast, about 25...

I've got a spare drive and caddy for my Panasonic CF-51, and, for the first time ever, I've got a Nix based OS that actually does some basic functionality stuff, like playing a movie, watching something on youtube.com, etc. This is a first for me, and, even though it's on a 5400 rpm drive, vs...

David what are you using for cable internet, and, what do you pay? How was Russia? S

I have the fax problem too, and, a nice fax machine. Wondering about your solution, or, just take it to a Kinko's, and send from there, for the number of faxes we send. On the other hand, Murphy will probably get me, and, right after I cancel it, I end up doing a bunch of faxing...

Generally, using headers and a free flow exhaust will increase acceleration, and top speed, so, that should really help increase the speed, when you're dragging it behind your car...

"outside a Toughbook (which is too dear and (last time I looked) not very nice to use) " If you shop, I don't agree with the first part, nor the later... CF51 has removeable hard drive caddies, which, with your problems with drives, might be a partial solution. It also uses IDE drives, and, I...

AT^T=MY MOST HATED PHONE COMPANY. Recently, I got phone calls, and turned off service, because I had been late on my bill. I said something like, you send an email, you get payment. You've done this before. Then they came up with some corporate garbage that as long as I was getting paper...

Besides SWEARING never to own anything by Apple, ever again... My girlfriend just asked me what's the big deal about the iPhone? Problem is, I can't find much that isn't Apple hype. It does appear to be a blackberry at half the price, which means one, it's not paying for windows, and, two...

Canon's BJ-85 was rather cool, since it could be had with a mobile battery, if it worked, and, a scanner cartridge. Had one, gave it to a friend...May get it back...
