I like this, Microsoft's creative counting. http://apcmag.com/xp_still_killing_vista_in_sales_volume_hp.htm Bozo :joker:

I have been looking at HEC cases. http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&N=40000007&Description=HEC&bop=And&Order=PRICE&Page=1 Some look like rebadged Antec cases without a power supply. Bozo :joker:

I not that they went wrong. It is easier to earn a living writing for Windows. But, some of the older skills might be useful. Try finding someone who is proficiant in OpenVMS. Bozo :joker:

Merc, I'm surprised you don't have your Dad on a Linux box??? Bozo :joker:

I have enough headaches at work let alone do it for family members on my time off. The last one I worked on was a very corrupted hard drive. After spending hours trying to recover data from the drive (there were no backups of course) I told the owner what I did, and what I tried and the reply...

They could always put a muffler on it. Bozo :joker:

Actually, Win95 frontend on a Server 2003 backend. :thumbleft: Bozo :joker:

That is because it uses a chainsaw motor for power. Bozo :joker:

I don't move to a new OS for a new GUI and bells and whistles and bloat. I want an OS that has performance and does what I want, not some programers idea of what they think I want. Right now I am testing Server 2008 as a desktop OS. It's okay, but it still has a lot of bloat and there are things...

I was driving home from work going south on a highway. I woke up on the north bound shoulder. :zzz: But I have never fallen asleep on the toilet or shower. Bozo :joker:

You must be using the AERO desktop which I disable almost imediately. I still prefer the Classic desktop. Bozo :joker:

When I press the Windows key, the Start menu pops up? Using Explorer on computers that are not connected to the Internet yeilds nothing. Using Windows Explorer yields nothing. In XP, right click on Network Neiborhood, click on Search for Computers and it works. Even Search for Files and...

Same here. Also, you can no longer search for a computer on a network. I agee with Greg: Vista is the worst of both OSs. Bozo :joker:

The lag could be the server you are connecting to, not the method you use to connect. Bozo :joker:

I replace my power supply with an Earthwatts unit. Notice a dip in the electric bill. The power supply is 80% efficient which means it is not using electric to produce heat. It is also Power Factor corrected which means you are not consuming electric to be able to consume electric. Bozo :joker:

Fortunatly, I have only broke the connector during the initial install. I have noticed lately that a lot of cables don't appear very tight on the hard drive connector. They wiggle around once installed. That can't be good. Bozo :joker:

Whenever I break one of those connectors, I RMA it back to the manufacturer. You might get a rebuilt unit, but at least you can plug it in. Bozo :joker:

It seems to me that CCleaner removed XP Antivirus 2008 for me. Bozo :joker:

The Antec Minuete 350 cases I have been getting lately have a standard SATA slot on the front of the case. There is a cable attached to it that plugs into the motherboard. But nothing for power. Some Intel motherboards are shipping with an expansion slot SATA adaptor. Bozo :joker:

These are standard plugs. Strange. Bozo :joker:

Sometimes I'm a little slow to catch on, and I think this is one of those times... Why would you want a standard SATA data port on the front of your computer case? Or, in the back for that matter? Bozo :joker:

Or posibly running your array from a virtualized OS. Bozo :joker:

This looks interesting: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/311272 Bozo :joker:

Can you re-seat the electronics board on the bottom of the drive? ( the internal connector to the drive, not the external connector to the PC ) Bozo :joker:

I'm not familier with your Intel controller, but I have used an Adaptec controller with two internal and two external ports. All four ports could be used at the same time. I would surmise that the Intel controller would work the same. BTW, Welcome! Bozo :joker:

I beleive that most dimmers made in the last 10 years are electronic. At least with these you will be saving electric when dimming. Bozo :joker:

Quote from the Tech Report "The CEO didn't detail the exact cause for the problem, although judging by his statement, he might be referring to Vista's I/O prioritization scheme. According to this Microsoft paper, the scheme favors storage responsiveness over throughput in an attempt to...

I saw some dimable CFLs in Home Depot the other day. I don't remember them being encased in a flood lamp though. You can buy covers for most recessed lighting cans. Check a well stocked lighting store and then buy online. Uda, if you are losing "dozens" of bulbs, then the fixtures were not...

It just gets worse. Apparently, Microsoft can't see past it's nose: http://news.cnet.com/8301-13924_3-9996317-64.html?part=rss&subj=news&tag=2547-1_3-0-20 Bozo :joker:

Install Acronis on each computer. Install another computer with a large enough hard drive to hold all your data. (no need for a "server"). Aconis has a built in scheduling application. Set it up to image the entire computer (or just the important data) to the new computer. Maybe have Acronis run...

Merc, Do you have to activate Server 2008? Bozo

To disable Hibernation in Veesta, open a command prompt and type in 'powercfg -h off' without the quotes. Press enter. Bozo :joker:

Generally the second power supply is not in parallel; it is used to power other devices. IE: One power supply for the motherbaord and the other for the hard drives. There is no interconnection between the two. Bozo :joker:

Antec offers a case with dual power supplies in it. The web page mentions a connector for contoling the two power supplies. Maybe you could purchase this connector? A while back I did see an article some where of how to connect two power supplies together. Maybe Google would help. Bozo :joker:

I recently set up a box with two 3Ware RAID cards in it. When I entered the setup program during boot up, both cards showed up in the same setup page. I was wondering if two or more RAID cards could be set up as a single RAID 0 drive. That would eliminate the bottleneck. Bozo :joker:

Wouldn't SSD's in RAID 0 make the RAID card an even bigger bottleneck? Bozo :joker:

Physical Education (gym class) is completely different than playing sports. Being on the football team does not lead to better students and higher test scores. When the school board spends $125000.00 to install a new track and $60000.00 to erected a practice building for the wrestlers, but...

The firewall is for a single computer. I need to block everything coming into it, except specific address. But I need to be able to get out from that computer to everywhere. This computer is not on a network that has access to the Internet. I suppose that is what software firewalls do?? I have...

I don't have a lot of experiance with firewalls, and I was wondering if there is a firewall that blocks all incomimg packets but allows any outgoing packets? The word "Free" needs to be predominate in it's name. Thanks, Bozo :joker:

My fuzzy memory is telling me there is a setting in the motherboard BIOS that needs to be set if you are using the x16 slot for something other than a video card. Bozo :joker:

Thanks for all your work on the site! Bozo :joker:

Interesting reading. I'll take with a grain of salt though. It did mention the engineer had heart desease. That sure didn't help. Where I work, we are getting more and more 'temp' employees. Same work, less pay. The local grocery store only allows most of their employees to work 38 hours a week...

Stereodude: I'm a registered republican and I don't agree with anything you said. I look at the issues and try to pick the least slimy asshole out of the bunch that is running. There are times when I get that frustrated with the magots that are running for office, I write in Donald Duck. But, I...
