I researched this a bunch, and came to the conclusion the new generation drives are much better then the old, but, that even the 4200rpm new drives are decent, and cheaper. 5400 are nice, but not enough faster then the 4200rpm in my Panasonic to make me want to change. For the older...

Didn't Kelly, and Skunkworks, come up with a hybrid jet/ramjet for the SR-71? IIRC, once up, and moving at 2500 mph, the turbines were taken out of the airflow, their angle was changed, so the engines became ramjets? I do remember the pilots talking about the nozzles, or entry ports, for the...

I think it's too close in price to some of the Gigabyte offerings, but, I don't know enough about the two of them to make a good guess... S

The last technique worked. Have a functioning copy of United on 2003, now. Also, while PowerDVD won't install on 2003, the Mediaplayer set works great. Watching Pam Andersen in the opening part of Barbwire, and, she's incredible... WOW.. "One more person calls me babe...." ROFL :mrgrn...

Well, they also wrote in something in the United Offensive upgrade package. The following setup file is not present in the initial Call of Duty, which installs, and runs fine, on 2003 SERVER. Figure their must be a way to support 2003 with a quick text change, but, I can't figure out what it...

Hi thanks. The codec pack gave me a useable DVD player. Maybe better then Power DVD, but I doubt the sound is the same quality. Still, thanks, that was a quick fix. Now to contact Call of Duty guys... gs

2003 Server, while a blindingly fast os, does have it's quirks. I've been playing Call of Duty on the machine, but, it will not install Call of Duty United Offensive. As much as I can tell, the install code looks for the os, and, since it doesn't find the text in the ini. text approving 2003...

After rereading that post, I can't help but think of Jaws, on a much larger scale... :wink: S

From a NOAA report in Iniki, in PDF: http://www.nws.noaa.gov/om/assessments/iniki/iniki1.pdf " a 217 MPH gust was reported by personnel at the USN radar site, at Makaha Ridge...." But, the machinery was not calibrated, so it was not considered valid by NOAA. Iniki apparently went from class...

http://www.video-hawaii.com/iniki.html http://www.video-hawaii.com/iniki.html I wonder what would have happened if Iniki would have gone right over Honolulu? S

Well, likewise. Every computer is hooked up to a UPS, to stop the frying of my home computers, unlike the one I had at work. It is funny the amount of draw we put on the circuits around here. Pretty clear it wasn't designed for today, but for the 50's when it was built. gs

I'm seriously thinking of setting up all the power stuff on power switches, and, when I leave, just hitting the power switch, for each area, at the plug. I already have the problem that when everything is up, and we kick on the new Panasonic microwave, it blows the circuit. I have the...

I think it was Ineki that hit Kaui, when I was on Oahu. Winds hit 225 on the peaks of Kaui, before the wind gauges where blown off, and their supports blown down. I slept through the whole thing, in a pillbox I lived in on the beach at Diamond head... s

2003 Windows Server web install is how much :?: :wink: 4 gigs? GS

http://www.granitedigital.com/catalog/pg62_alumhotswapinternal.htm I've also bought, and used, three of these, and been happy with them http://www.granitedigital.com/catalog/pg51_hot-swapinternalsystem.htm GS

Been a long time together, hasn't it Tannin? Wonder what Bill's doing? David's a class act, and I'm glad he's here. Fantastic group, and glad to be a member, and participant, and would like to thank Mercutio, and Handurin for being here, and keeping the lights on. Glad the motherboard...

Well, congratulation CK. Pradeep, glad to hear you are moving on. I'm sure things will work out better for you. Good luck and God Bless both of you. S

Still gives me the same message, and, direct X 9.0C is installed... Weird. Greg

Weird. I installed it on the work computer, which is Direct X 8. and it works fine... Again, weird. GS

I've got version 5.0, and, it's not supported by tech support. The hardware graphics acceleration is on, and, the newest ATI drivers are installed. I can't remember how to check for the version of Direct X, but I thought I downloaded the new version, and installed it. Greg

Hi Anyone have a program that plays DVD's on 2003 Server? PowerDVD doesn't support 2003 Server, and says Direct x is version 8, when it's actuall 9.03C, and won't install. GS

Try checking how much it would be to ship a pound to San Francisco. That should give us a ball park figure if it's worth my even digging around to find it. Thanks Greg

Yes, in all likelyhood. I can imagine Apple writing some sort of contract that limits their operating system to their hardware, and burying it in fine print. Would a court inforce such garbage??? I don't know. However, Apple is not shy about using their lawyers to blugeon people into...

David: I TOTALLY UNDERSTAND HOW YOU FEEL. I'm the one that wants a 512mb card for running Quake 4 in Ultra mode. :wink: I've set an arbitrary limit at about 350 for graphics cards, since I can't think of anything but macs that depriciate faster. I also want a card twice as fast, at least...

Well, Apple has a history of offering substandard hardware, on changes from one chip to another, that should create increases in sales. The idea being to maximize profit, since a bunch of people wait for the switch, like the move from 64080(?) to G3, etc. Anyone notice if the reviews indicate...

David Prior to buying the X 800 XL from you, I did quite a bit of research, and found results like this: http://www.xbitlabs.com/articles/video/display/games-2005_16.html I did find the X1900 to do another 20-30% more speed, but, I don't think that justifys the cost difference from the X...

Hi Mercutio: David gave me a legit, license, multiple I think, for my gaming box, 2003 Server. Simply amazing. Thank you David, and God Bless you.. That said, what was the thread to trim down, and use it for a workstation??? s

Why? What's wrong with the treos??? s

Yes, they make you pay an additional 10 bucks or so a month, so you can upload photos, taken with your camera phone, rather then just being able to connect with a USB cable, and load the pictures to your computer. I think my plan is up, like this week, and, anyone have suggestions for a better...

Wonder if you can sync the Treo using USB? Probably so, but, with Verizon,you never know... S

On the way to Davids house, I saw a Ford GT 40.... REALLY IMPRESSIVE, AWESOME!!!!! S

ROFL :mrgrn:

Great post. Since my new box has a 500 watt Seasonic, maybe I better look at a 700 watt seasonic... gs

And where did that happen?? I see no mention of it... G

Sure, by David drives a VW, I think, and, I see no absurd waste in his life, just the reverse. GS

Those look really cool, but, very expensive. How do you hotsync to your computer, and, how do you setup blue tooth, or WIFI, if the phone doesn't have the drivers? GS

Hi My phone is up, and I am looking for a new one. Verizon deal is pretty good, but, the phone sucks. Need a big LCD, bad eyes at reading distance. David has ideas I don't even know about. I'd like a phone with datebook on computer, phone, and Palmpilot. Any ideas? s

Thanks GREAT HELP GS

Heh!!! The lights came with the fan controller, and, I did NOT know they were there. That said, what I like about that case, is the front bling bling, in the lights, and, the near full case size, giving extra drive bays, and, it's quiet, and it's quiet, and, it's quiet. David's Novell expert...

Thanks for the test. Great information. :jumpin: :cheers: Greg

Hi I've been playing around with Quake 4, and to run at highest settings requires 512mb of VRAM. Now the ATI 1600 pro, AGP has it, for around 160 dollars, if anyone really had one. I could also go to a PCIE and dedicate another computer to that. Has anyone compared the X800XL and the X1600...

Blue Collar Comedy Tour, The Movie. :mrgrn: :wink:

David: Next time I'm down, you can play with the Nikon D50, and see if that helps. 18-55 mm and 55-200 zooms. http://www.imaging-resource.com/PRODS/D50/D50A.HTM http://nikoncamerareview.blogspot.com/2005/05/nikon-d50-preview-digital-photography.html Should be sometime this week...

Guess they had 'artistic' parents that pushed or helped both to their careers. I don't find it shocking that they may appear uneducated, or poorly educated. I'm sure putting together their careers has taken a tremendous amount of time, and that development in other areas will come in time. One...

Yes. They all have figured out how to use what God gave them, to out earn all of us put together. Does that suck? Yes, but they did it, and, we haven't... s

If there is one thing to be confirmed from affirmitive advantage, is once given those advantages, the people become entitlees, thinking that they 'deserve' their position, due to race, color, gender, whatever feature. Of course, our general perception of that group is preverted by Hollyweird...

Mercutio: I think the violence towards women stuff is a result of a couple things. Fantasy, to be effective, has to be something close to your reality. As has been clearly stated in other threads, the women Hollywood is using do not in anyway represent much the average man can think about...
