For the last two days the site has been agonizingly slow to load. Anybody else having any problems? Also, the smilely faces keep changing in the window to the right of the reply window, each time I open the reply page. Strange. Bozo :joker:

What the Slashdot article failed to mention is that the EPA is making the power plants clean the mercury out. And new legislation will reduce it even further. But, the number of CFLs ending up in landfils will slowly raise over the next few years. It is a no win situation. We will be breathing...

For that price it should kiss you good-night and make coffee in the morning. :wink: Bozo :joker:

:joker: I switched too. But there is always a trade off. The mercury in one CFL can contaminate 1000 gallons of water? Can the mercury be removed from the water, and at what cost? Does the mercury get into the fish? Sometimes we have to look past our noses at the big picture. Bozo

CFLs, not all they are cracked up to be???? http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/23694819/ Bozo :joker:

If the netgear software reorted "zero free space", why would you consider that a good thing? Apparently the format didn't work. Some "expert". And, It sounds like he dialed Dell support. Bozo :joker:

We have our servers behind chainlink fence in a cube farm. Some office/industrial supply companies sell fencing for offices. Bozo :joker:

WOW. Thanks for the info! Bozo :joker:

Cool story, thanks Bozo :joker:

One other observation. Vista SP1 just adds more bloat. I haven't noticed any improvements.. Has anybody tried IE8? Bozo :joker:

Vista UAC can easily be turned off with msconfig. Hibernate is a real resource hog. It is constantly writting to the hard drive. Open a administrator command prompt, type 'powercfg -h off' without the quotes. Indexing is another resource hog. Uncheck the box in the properties menu for each hard...

Maybe she would do "things" that his wife refused to do. Bozo :joker:

This looks very interesting. But no prices. http://www.ocztechnology.com/aboutocz/press/2008/276 Bozo :joker:

I also have BeOS. I remember bringing it to work and installing it on a PII-300 with 128M RAM. I ran the tea pot demo in a window and you could drag the window around the desktop and the tea pot never stuttered. It just kept running in the window as smooth as silk. The Linux and Windows guys...

I use MemTest86+ too. Plus Prime95 on occasion. F@H makes a good test for stability of your system. Bozo :joker:

If you want to put 8 hard drives in a RAID 5 setup. you are going to need an expensive RAID controller. Most of the cheap software RAID controllers only do 2 to 4 drives. I don't believ any motherboard RAID controllers can do more than 4 either. But maybe someone else here has a better answer...

Really slow day. Everybody must be busy. Bozo :joker:

The only thing that I noticed after installing SP-1 was more bloat on the hard drive. Bozo :joker:

Vista's activation has been cracked. According to Slashdot. Bozo :joker:

Why can't you use something like Partition Magic? Bozo :joker:

One thing to keep in mind is your backup software. Acronis doesn't recognize motherboard RAID. I still use Drive Image from floppies for anything that has motherboard RAID. Bozo :joker:

That is tough call. My 800MHz memory is running at 940MHz. It has run higher than that, but not stable. F@H blue screens the computer when the memory is above 940MHz. I would get whatever the CPU runs at. Bozo :joker:

The run time under load is dependant on the load. Light load=long time. Heavy load=short time. The UPS's web site shoud give you an idea of how long it should last based on load. Bozo :joker:

Because that is what I have and can recommend from experiance. If I were buying a CPU now, I would take a serious look at the E8200. My motherboard/cpu combo with an Antec Earthwatts power supply has shown a noticable drop in the electric bill over my P4. And, it is running F@H 24/7. My...

I'd recommend a Gigabyte GA-P35C-DS3R motherboard with an Intel Core 2 Duo E6550 at 2.3GHz. I have mine running at 3.3GHZ with stock cooling and voltage settings. The Kingston KVR800D2K2 / 2G RAM runs fine in this setup. The motherboard has RAID 1 and the Gb ethernet. Bozo :joker:

Microsoft lowers some Vista prices: http://www.microsoft.com/presspass/features/2008/feb08/02-28BrooksQA.mspx Getting desparate? Bozo :joker:

I managed a 21. That was with no time limit. Bozo :joker:

You might try running on the battery until it is down to about 10%. Then let it recharge. Most likely it will be fine after that. Bozo :joker:

Tannin, most of the motherboards that I remember using for '95 and'98 had no USB ports on them, nor any sockets to plug an adaptor to. Some motherboards had USB ports late in '98 life cycle. Then again, I wasn't looking for a USB port at the time and could have missed them altogether. Bozo...

Tech Report gave it their Editors Choice award. Bozo :joker:

That is about the same as our corp junkers. They are dog slow. Having Word or Excel and IE open, there are times when you have to wait for things to happen. During this time the hard drive is thrashing like mad. If you really want to slow it down, have 2 or 3 IE pages open and try to open Word...

Vista SP1 breaks some programs. http://www.crn.com/software/206801221 Bozo :joker:

http://pcpandora.com/ I played with this a while back. Great program. Bozo :joker:

Thanks, Bozo :joker:

What was pulled was a 'pre-SP1' setup utility. I believe it was a registry modification to allow automatic download and install. Bozo :joker:

I wasn't able to install the SMP client version until I installed Dot-Net. Strange coincicence??? Bozo :joker:

Ditto. Bozo :joker:

Yes. I have a small fan that circulates air through my office to the rest of the basement. (The fan is turned off in the winter.) That way it circulates through the de-humidifier. The P4s kept the room at ~70F. The basement temperature remains at ~60F year-round. Bozo :joker:

Actually, the P4s kept the room at ~80F even in the winter. The room is 12' x 14' in the basement with no other heat. A space heater would be nice though. I might have to buy one now. The room is only ~60F Bozo :joker:

You might be able to have it shipped to a UPS Store. Bozo :joker:

Ditto... Bozo :joker:

The room heating ability. My "office" is down right chilly with two Core-2-Duo's running F@H. With the P4s, at least the room was warm. :-D Bozo :joker:

I have found myself sitting and staring at a blank (turned off) tv for over an hour. It is quite peaceful. This usually happens after a particualy rough day at work putting up with the idiot managers. Bozo :joker:

I've been using O&O since version 3 or 4. No complaints. Bozo :joker:
