Just have them pay for the rest of their lives, our Trendmicro bills....or NOD32. Dieing over spam is a bit extreme. However, I know other people that have had blatant disregard for the law, and get away with it all the time, due to either buying the police, or police policy not to address...

HMMM. I think I have a reciever that does a pretty good job of that: Yamaha RX-v995. 600 watts, and 6 channels. When combined with Klipsch speakers, well, it sounds better then most movie theatres. We just got done watching a couple James Bond movies, and it's pretty incredible...

Time and labor are why I value Supermicro, and Intel stuff, if you'll excuse the pun :mrgrn: By the way, that Dell XPS 400 was a little over 3000 dollars, and looking back, I could have put together a far better computer for a lot less money, if I'd known then what I know now. Or, I could have...

My primary workstation: Yen Yao, or something like that, server box, with 17 drive bays. Supermicro X5DA8 with dual Xeon 2.8ghz cpu, with Swiftech heatsinks. XP, 2 gigs of ram, 2 NEC DVD 16X 3520A( thanks for the recommendations all) Seasonic 600W powersupply( quiet for it's power) ATI 800XL...

Well, I've got a Gigabyte 939 KN8s board with a bad ATA channel. $70.00. Took a month through www.ewiz.com to get the board replaced, and, I replaced it with a much more expensive Ultra model of that board, thanks to my local guys reeming me a new one, $140.00(should have been market price...

Thanks for the recommendation!!! Finally got it, and had it installed. It's about silent, and the only sound is really the SCA box fan, but, that's MUCH quieter then the sparkle 550W that was in it. Thanks again. Greg

Just got done doing a referee camp for high school basketball. Friday night was 2 pm -9PM, starting about 100 F inside, and tapering off to about 90. Yesterday 8am-8:30PM peaking at about 100 starting at 2 PM on. Same today, but we got done at 3:30 after starting at 8:00am. My pulled hamstring...

Of course, I work in Kalifornia public schools :mrgrn: :wink: s PS The good news is I get a change of scenery every year, but never fail, it's either a project supervisor, a principal, a vice principal, a Project Pipeline person, somebody in the equation is seriously whacked. Time to pass...

As has become clear, it's the RICH constituients that tend to be able to 'help' our legislators along. As socialist an idea as the average wage is, I like it. Let the legislator feel that new tax he just passed, or the bridge toll he just increased, on the average guys salary. Excellent idea...

Wow. Guess I'll stick with the older 4000 series printers, and an Epson 3170 Scanner.... s

Arnold got set up on this deal. First off, who cares about advertizing for health food supps? All of a sudden, the Kalifornia legislature does, since the guys making money on the stuff are Arnold's employer. What a crock. "The institute conducted its poll of 2,502 California adult residents...

We've got a conservative assemblyman out here and we are going back and forth on this. I'd like to see legislature saleries tied to the same level as the average teachers salary in the same state. To compensate for the paycut, minimize meeting time, so they can only do a limited amount of...

Hmmm. Just got a note from support at Nero. They DON'T have a raw feature in their software. They suggested www.isobuster.com anyone ever tried it? s

Mayor Daly is supposed to have run Chicago slightly below even Italian corruption standards... :mrgrn: I have hope. Even Barbara Boxer can recognize, and support, the recent socialist decision in Kelo, allowing any city to take your property and condemn it, then give it to a developer, if...

Tannin: "Blaze IS a true story. :eekers: :lol: :excl: Little later in time, and rather then being committed to a mental institution, he'd get the Bill Clinton award. Blaze was much too much of lady to be called a Monica, and, when Long died in 1960, he left 50k to Blaze, who refused to...

PLEASE!!! This is Louisiana :excl: The home of a legal system based on the Napoleonic Code. It' puts property rights over humans, not a shock, considering French History. You trespass, you are fair game, and, this includes police. Despite that, it has very high property crime, last time I...

Hi Anyone know if Nero copies in 'raw mode'? Are you better off using Roxio using 'raw mode' then Nero, for tough to copy disks? Keep in mind, these are cd's, and DVD's, that I legally own, and I'm trying to make a legal copy to protect the original. Thanks gs

I've had no problems with Hypermicro, other then a DOA drive they replaced, ASAP. Also, Seagate has been wonderful to me, and I still have about 98% of their drives, and, they are still working, but, they are all scsi. s

I guess it depends on which Macs you go to. The one in Fremont was using styrfoam cups, and Bloomfield coffee makers, that don't keep coffee under pressure. Keep in mind, that same Macs, about 4 months ago, had a pressure coffee system, as I described above. Also, the one in Pacifica has...

By the way, the holders usually combine a big brewing area, a basket with the coffee in it, and a sprinkler to distribute water. Once brewed, the liquid sits over heat, and a heavy lid is on top of the machine. For the steam to escape, the pressure has to be sufficent to lift the heavy...

Corporate stupidity. Someone probably took a survey of coffee drinkers, and the majority said they like "hot" coffee. Some idiot figured that if 'Hot" is good, scaliding is better. :roll: :roll: :excl: From that, corporate offices probably bought coffee makers, and holders, and...

Jumpster showed me new heights yesterday. She jumped from the floor, to the top of my bathroom door, in persuit of a moth. Catwoman has nothing on this girl. :mrgrn: s

Well, the MW's superheat the liquid, past boiling, by increasing the vibration of the molecules, without disturbing them, unlike an external heat source. When you try and remove it, this changes the position of the molecules, and the molecules are free to vibrate into air, and escape. IIRC...

This is a drive through problem. If you anticipate serving coffee in such a manner, you should provide a proper container, and anticipate that people are going to spill the coffee. If that's the case, then the coffee should not be served at boiling, or very near it, first since coffee is NOT...

You know, come to think of it, you are pretty much on the money. The only coffee I get hotter then that is when I take a coffee mug, heat it with near 200 degree F water, then make espresso, where the water is turned to steam, and forced through the coffee and recondensed. Even espresso, going...

Tannin: I thought the neat thing about heating a liquid is the heat starts at the bottom, and goes towards to top. This action limits the amount of energy that can be transfered into a liquid, without it boiling. Now, microwaves allow you to transfer energy into liquids, without the normal...

My last, very hot, cup of coffee, was served in a thin walled, non-proper cup. It was VERY hot, but, transfering it to another cup worked. s

Mercutio; Could you fill me in on this card??? Whats so great about it, and what does it take to get the benefits of it? s

Actually, I thought they were microwaving the coffee, making it so hot you could not see the steam. I buy Macs coffee, but take it out of their cups, which I consider incapable of holding the liquid, and, which quickly become too hot to hold. As for the Pinto, they killed something like 250...

64 bit Windows didn't work for me, didn't work with a Gigabyte motherboard. Suggest Nvidia 4 or later motherboards. Didn't work with either Nvidia 3, 939 socket board I tried. s

McDonald's, over and over again, would serve coffee so hot, that you couldn't see the steam. this issue was brought up, in prior lawsuits, many times. McDonalds ignored the law, the safety of their customers, and continued to serve coffee so hot, it would scald. Ford had bean counters that...

I hope they have SLAP suit law over there. In Kalifornia, if you bring a frivilous lawsuit, you not only get it thrown out of court, but you have to pay the othersides expenses, and you are barred from bringing the case in the state again... Law was made to deal with a religous group that used...

The ideal gamer boot drive :mrgrn: :wink:

Tannin: What do you use to print color photos??? Thanks Greg

Mercutio: I understand your situation. I was just venting a little frustration, after doing tons of research, and trying to find a solution, and finding there really isn't one, without spending 2000 dollars on a printer. It looks like the best photo printers are inkjets, and, I guess for your...

M: I know, but with these color Lasers, it's a WAY different prospect then just replacing a black and white toner cartridge. I've been seriously looking at one, and decided a photo quality Epson, or Canon would be better, in conjunction with a decent Laser B&W. What do you think? All the...

Yes. OK. I've even gone to the red cables, since GD cables are 4 times as expensive. Likewise, cheaper terminators. I followed Supermicro's recommendations, and since they ship SCA boxes with the "red" cables, I figure they must be decent. Yes, I also use monster cables, overpriced, also...

You do know this about the 550N: Does this printer come with a full set of cartridges, or just starter cartridges? s

Time: The problem with cards are the input. My ATI TV Wonder wouldn't work, regardless of what I did, to take input from my VCR. It's probably fine for other stuff, like tv input. Or, you can get in a situation where the cables cost way too much to attach the VCR, I.E. having to buy an...

Hi I haven't had much luck with software firewalls, except, so far, XP. I was wondering how one would go about setting up a hardware firewall? My current setup is a fixed IEP ADSL, into an Alcatel modem, and then to a router. From the router, we go to a nice switch, and then to any number of...

Mercutio: Follow up? What model, etc.? s

Anybody tried this program? http://www.dscaler.org/about.htm s

Welcome to my world... :lol: It could be worse, MUCH worse. Try K-6 with a range of gifted, but violent, to 12-18 months, and non-verbal, in a 6th grade body... Then it's just me. If you aren't doing this sort of stuff all the time, it's difficult to remember the proper settings, and, the...

Just helped her with a moth. I knocked it off the ceiling, and like lightning, she bolted from the floor, onto the couch, jumped in the air, swatted the moth down, and pinned the moth under her paw, out of mid air. No wasted motion, and nearly faster then you could see. One second she's on...

Well, your post got me thinking about all the popups, thanks to AOL, and Weatherbug, on my SO's computer. So, wanting to protect her computer, I used her AOL account, downloaded MaAfee anti-virus, and ran it. No virus. However, MacAfee is as good as having one. Opening control panels, opening...

Well, my Plextor has installation particulars that are a bit weird. If not installed in the proper order, the software acts very strange, cuts off, works once in awhile, etc. I have a note from Plextor on it, and, the limitation is that it only runs with one kind of software. The software...

Do they work in 939 socket boards currently avaliable? Which chipsets? s

Anybody have a good review of the new chips? s

You are lucky. New biggest, fastest, for cheapest is always a scary equation, reliability wise. s

Think I should email this to Davin, or post it myself?? :evil: :shake2: s
