You want to hang onto that ztuff, Clocker. It always comez in handy, zooner or later. (I'd zhow you a picture of Tannin'z ztuff but .... er ... let'z put it thiz way ... It'z more like a whole room full.) (Az you know, Tannin alwayz takez thingz to extremez.)

Iz that an echo I hear? Well done, Zir Grolts! You win the Queen Tea Economy Award for being the firzt perzon I've ever zeen do a double pozt in juzt one pozt.

There iz one particular Epox board model that I've had trouble with. I'll check which one later on today. The otherz have all been good.

But you painted out the key! Zo I can't find it now, Tannin. You'll have to buy me a new keyboard on Monday.

I'd juzt like to zay that we are extremely pleazed with our new avatar, and extend our thankz to our loyal and faithful subject Zir Doser. Alzo that The Giver haz provided a truly excellent one for Blakewry. Well done, gentlemen!

Whoh! Thiz iz going to be a challenge. Let'z go, guyz!

Ahh, maybe that'z it. Perhapz Doug would know. Ahhh ... and I better confezz. I wazn't really zeriouz when I ztarted this "z" thing, but being grumpier than I ought to be thiz Friday, I zpoke incautiouzly to Tannin, and the old bugger uzed zome white paint on my keyboard to cover up the marking...

I think Muztafa play, yes, and The Giver be da man that givez out the azzignments: i.e., pairz Cliptin and Jake, or Zlo and Handruin, and zo on.

It'z all Time'z fault. Look in thiz thread and you will zee for yourzelf: http://www.ztorageforum.net/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=1302&ztart=157 .

I believe that the Promize controllerz deliver a zignificantly higher tranzfer rate than VIA onez. I zuzpect that you are on the right track already.

On the other hand, it might zuit Tannin rather well. :wink:

Ahh thankyou, Cliptin. Zo far, that makez zenze, but if I remember correctly, phpBB allowz varied log-out timez anywhere between ... er ... I think it waz 2 minutez up to 2 hourz. But the ZR one goez forever. Perhapz thiz facility haz been changed with newer verzionz of phpBB? Or maybe my...

It'z Friday. You are allowed to be brainlezz on a Friday.

Yup! Random might be fun, but letz target particular targetz. :mrgrn:

No particular reazon for thiz at thiz particular time, but I am curiouz about thiz one. Here at work I uze Mosilla under OZ/2, but at home I have zeveral browzerz. Zo at home I use IE 5.0, and Tannin uzez Opera. We both have our favourite browzerz zet to auto log uz in az (rezpectively) Tea and...

I have now decided that my previouz post waz in error. From thiz moment on, I zhall alwayz prefer the letter "z" to the letter "z". Truly, Englizh iz the mozt ridiculouz language, iz it not?

Err, why all the angst? This is what capitalism is.Always has been (read Dickens or Marx), always will be.

230 manual edits? Nope. I suggest that anyone interested should go through and see if there is anything there that needs to be preserved over the next few days. Mind you, seeing as Coug has put mighty labours into the news postings, he may take a different view.

You'll be fine with them, Buck. Very solid boards.Our total number of returns with them, out of about 50: zero.

Those GA-7DXEs are nice boards, Buck. They can object to certain brands of RAM (mostly just cheap stuff), there is no user control over core voltage, otherthan that, they are excellent.

Good for you, Doug.

Reminds me of the story, doubtless aprocrophal, of the two guys who were out playing with some explosive they had got hold of somewhere or other. They jumped into their brand new Landcruiser and drove out into the middle of the bush where there was no-one to see them, then started blowing things...

Neither, it seems, did the searcher :wink:

(Damn it, Dozer, that's a famous quote. I saw it just the other day and I can't remember who or in what context.) (Sorry, I'll get out of the way now.)

I've never paid all that much personal attention to the Macquarie, Time. I own one, but I rarely use it, preffering the Oxford as my primary dictionary. (I nearly bought a fair-dinkum Shorter Oxford just before the GST on books came in. I should have done, damn it.) I sometimes run an aquisitive...

Actually, on the whole I agree with you on the "s" vs "z" thing, Time. Only reason I sometimes remember to avoid using "z" is because the Americans do it that way and it is an article of faith amongst literate, English-speaking people that if the Americans do it it must be wrong. But "z" is a...

Huh? Well, why not? Hey, if we are a registered religion, we can be a tax deducton. We shall just have to start our own Cult of the Death Cow. I volunteer to be the Grand High Sock Puppet. Or something.

I second the honourable Doggy One's remarks. :)

Mmmmm? Are you sure, Mr Dog? (About the inevitable, I mean.) :roll:

Why do you have an angry platypus as your avatar? I don't think it suits you.

Hmmm .... been looking at EditPad Lite. Very impressive. It did occur to me to do a sort of full-blown review thing in a seperate thread, but looking over the feature lists of the two, it soon became clear that it would take hours to half-do, and weeks to do properly. The executive summary...

Doug's.

As I recall, ICQ and its various insecure brethren in chat use oddball ports to do their file transfers. You can free up certain (normally blocked) ports from the Smoothwall console, but you may not have to. ICQ has a moderately obscure setting where you tell it to function from behind a...

Seagate are no longer a listed company. They had a buy-out and, as a private company, no longer have to report in anything like the detail that public companies do, nor are they vulnerable to corporate asset strippers. In this case though, it would be a mistake to think that just because Seagate...

(now where did that surplus apostrophe sneak in from?)

Ten dollars for a USB cable? Ten US dollars? Anyone want's to buy $10 USB cables, just call me. Please. Call often. :)

Fine. So that's the answer. Now what's the damn question?

I remain unconvinced, Stereodude. I don't know anything about peltiers, or fancy cooling of any kind for that matter - Sol and Groltz seem to be the resident experts here in that department, alongside NRG and perhaps your good self - but I'm Tannin-trained and I can spot shonk blindfold at a...

Time to apply a little logic and evidence here guys. Thus far, the thread seems to have generated a great deal of heat and very little light. Let's think about it, shall we? While the Active Cool website is conspicuously lacking in hard information, we can glean several pertinent facts from...

Smoothwall can do it. Any serious Linux head with a yen for networking could set it up using the freeware version of Smoothwall and a few other goodies, but it's beyond me. I spent some time a while ago reading up on it (there is at least one largish web page devoted to it, I have it bookmarked...

Some substantial reading later, it looks excellent! You can use a pair of them (one at each end) or just one on the LAN and a software-based client at the other end. It acts as a DHCP server (253 connections max, which is plenty) and has both port forwarding (to be able to run a web server...

Ahh! Now that looks like a genuinely easy method. Thankyou, Mark. I'll do some reading up on it. I presume that I simply plug the existing 16-port switch into one port of it, and the cable modem into the other. (i.e., use it to replace the Smoothwall.) Then figure out a way to get a replacement...

I gather that there are a million ways to organise a virtual private network. I often toy with the idea of setting one up between home and work. I have broadband connections at both ends, and the work end (the one where the data I'd want to access remotely is) has a static IP. The actual...

There were quite a few HX boards that had lots of EDO slots, Will, but I don't recall ever seeing that on newer ones. Well, hardly ever. I didn't sell that many HX boards so I can't remember which model number was which, I'm afraid. Alternatively, SDRAM is really, really cheap now - about...

That, Tannin, was a selective quote, and you well know it. The full text reads: mon·key n. pl. mon·keys 1: (as per Tannin's post). 2: One that behaves in a way suggestive of a monkey, as a mischievous child or a mimic. Go right ahead, Clippy. He fits definition #2 perfectly!

Utterly useless. It looks soooo cute, but what's the good of a pumpkin with nasty crunchy bits in it? I might break a tooth!

It's not Tannin, it's me. Tannin went to bed ages ago. He just doesn't have my stammina. By the way, what does it mean when your eyelids keep falling down and you can't see the keyboard anymore?

no i didn't

It's about time you got up, Flagreen! And where is that lazy Prof. Wizard when you want him? Coug? You used to be an early riser. Getting old, are we? grumble grumble hell with it i'm going to bed

The power went off yesterday and I lost 18 hours folding time. And now that horrible doggy creature has gone past me. :(
