Hmmm, Before one shouts Heresy, I'd like to know what the orthodox doctrine is.

I second that. It's an inordinate amount of time for Mercutio to not post. Is there anyway to know if he is not sick?

The files were seen after a 3rd encounter with Ubuntu. I deleted the files which were indicated to be the virus. Then started to backup to DVD discs. But got tired after two nights and only 1/4 of the backup done. So I bought a 250Gb, thinking I could sell it afterward and incur a loss...

I need a new monitor. This MAG is getting quite dim. besides it is reddish. Waiting for LCDs to go down in price some more.

I am borrowing my daughter's PC and will install the two HDDs on it. Hopefully something can be done. But this will have to wait until tomorrow as I have to go out of town for an important task. Maraming Salamat. (Many thanks)

Thanks blake for the tips, Still, I have to ask, will mounting manually from Ubuntu affect the files in the partitions and their accessibility in windows? Is their unmountability the reason why Windows setup stops at "Windows setup is inspecting your system?" I'm worried there is something...

I got infected with a virus An automated remover did not prove effective in the long term, it kept coming back. I tried manual removal but became sloppy and deleted an important registry item and the machine kept looping without entering windows, just allowed me put a password before...

how does this happen? and why can one not do much about it?

Whatever, I don't like it. I would never trade my sister for it.

yeah. incredible. I would diligently look for the owner. but I don't think I would go through the trouble he did. kudos to the guy!

hobby? I ride my bike every now and then. I build machines (PC's) for friends and acquaintances every now and then. I used to read books. Now I spend time in SF (not a bad swap, eh!)

my first reaction was, the video was funny. I mean the people in the video were funny. But the lack of opinion was sad.

That bacon wrapped cheese dog is normally served here. I started seeing them around 3 years ago. Maybe longer than that, even.

Hello, Time, Is this a guess? A hunch? Or is this really happening, going to happen? I mean, why the prediction?

Just goes to show that work is going out of the window and entertainment is staying on.

1x250Gb Seagate 7200.10 SATA (6 months old) storage 1x80Gb Maxtor PATA (3+ years old) system looking to retire the Maxtor and acquire a Samsung 250Gb drive

I learned a lot from the old SR back in 1997 (I don't really know the exact year I started to frequent the place) as a lurker. There wasn't a day I didn't visit. But I had less than 10 posts. My handle there was "Crispulo" Really was a fan of a person named Tony Wilson, and the ultra-sharp...

??? Here, if that happened, they'd hang the photographer. I mean could you explain what memories one can take pictures of in a rehearsal?

just came back from a vacation. 1st time in years. with the whole family. The Wife, 3 grown children, a nephew, a grandson and the youngest's girlfriend. One of the foundations I am part of has a semi-resort which they use to hold youth camps in the summer. most of the time it's vacant so I...

The features on this is quite impressive. Includes FLAC, OGG, Linux. http://www.cowonamerica.com/products/iaudio/6/

We had a Merry Christmas. At the reunion, my brother started talking (he never talks about his feelings) And his sons mentioned that they had never been happier. (funny that) Then it comes out that the brother and my sister-in-law had not spoken for a month and it was only that morning that...

Spot on. I'd like someone to torture the 200 gram 500W Power Supply suppplied with the generic casing (which was the cause of my tetanus shot the other day) to find out if it will last a year running an E2140 with 1Gb RAM on an all onboard mobo with an optical drive and 160Gb HDD for, say, a...

I remember the discussions (seems like only yesterday) when Tannin would mention that he'd never leave Windows 2000.

Here, just posting something before the family leaves for a reunion at an aunt's house (the last living sibling of my late mother) We'll be eating roast pork, leche flan, cake, maybe rice cakes, which are traditional holiday fare here. My 2nd daughter's the games master (as usual). There'll be...

Was able to watch "Stardust" the other week. True to recommendation, it was a delight. Especially Robert de Niro. One thing which I found discomfitting, the sword play between Septimus (dead) and the Tristan. I didn't like it. Maybe they could have thought of some other way of conflict. Too cute...

If I ever did this, I would not be able to look at a PC for a month! Well, it's either that or I'd be addicted and if I had no PC's to assemble, I'd start to eat my hair (is that what addicts do?) And what happened to all the Samsung drives waiting to be purchased?

True, I have not heard any complaints about the replacements, refurbed though they are.

Malungkot (sad) Especially if you think of them as cute, gentle creatures. That's an end you won't want to happen to anyone.

we have a Seagate warranty thread in our Philippine Techie Website. I'd link to it but its mostly in Tagalog so it wouldn't be helpful. Just to say most get a three day turnaround. But they get refurbished drives from Seagate Singapore.

ang galing! translates to "WOW!"

I think my nephew has got the sickness, too. There's not a week when he absents himself from school. Says he's feeling weak. Been doing it for months now. Or maybe I got it from him.

auuggghhh! I would be freaking out of my mind. 80 PC's. Now if you were being paid overtime...

hmmm, just discovered "freerice" got to 41 but quickly fell to 39 due to a series of bad guesses. heh-heh then got lucky and reached 43 before I thought to myself, that's enough luck. maybe I'll try again later when my wife isn't looking over my shoulder.

Last Friday I went to a clinic to ask about my "weakness" symptom. There are times, I just suddenly have to lie down and sleep. It's like, you know, having "to go". When you gotta go, you gotta go. So this lady doctor asks me about it. I tell her. And she pokes around my back and chest with her...

Really appreciate your "tutorial" Tannin. Great insights! Thanks. Hmmmm. Off topic, but this thread is the context. Here goes. My usual Rig is a S939 with an MSI NVidia based mobo with 6100 built-in video. And yesterday I looked at the cropped pic Tony placed here. Great, I could really see...

One of my friends sent me SMS saying her husband laundered her office's flashdisk. I told her to rinse it well so there would be no soap (alkali) residue in the drive. Then shake the water off it (not too violently). Let it dry (not sun dry) for at least 2 days. (She waited 5 days) When she...

For $199, you would get only a 17" regular sized (i.e. not wide screen) LCD here.

Glad to know Buck is well.

ok, sorry. My previous post was intended to be a laugh - the Intel mobos for AMD procs part. now, seriously, I thought Intel Mobos were good stuff. And Tony's comment was a surprise, although not that part about being expensive and feature-deficient. I was aware of those. I was thinking they...

We all do. And we need to do so, often. One thing really nice about hugs, we give one - We receive one at the same time. Now, I'm going upstairs to hug my wife. Thanks, Howell, for the reminder.

Yeah, I've been reading about the great quality on Intel mobos. Something about stability, sturdiness, longevity. And I've always hoped that Intel would make motherboards compatible with AMD processors. Just so the myth about AMD flakiness was due to bad motherboards or some such. What...

On the USB thingy. I never trust tradition. I always check the manual first. why? Because I've used Asus and MSI mobos. Nope, no blown equipment yet. (fingers crossed)

What we have in the Philippines is the "Parol". It is a lantern in the shape of a star, which depicts the star which led the wise men to Bethlehem. Like all traditions all over the world (Christmas or what else) it has been battered little by little as years went by. When I was young, every...

I bought my first flash disk a year ago. It was 1Gb for P1,450. Last week I bought 1Gb flash disk for P420. I was so surprised because I checked the prices just 2 days before purchasing and it was P600 for that 1Gb flash disk. Now 4Gb flash disk costs less than what I paid for 1Gb last year.

Right about the small savings between 80Gb and 160Gb. Here, one can buy a 80Gb Seagate for 2,450 pesos and a 160Gb for 2,750 pesos. At P46/USD, that's less than $10 difference. Yet, when I build a system for first-time owners, it's a waste to get them a 160Gb drive. I've known people who can't...

so the $15 was even cheaper.

hahaha!

$15 each? Can you load a few in a 20 footer and send them here? We already have a reputation as a toxic waste dump so I suppose accepting them would be no problem. ^_^ Uh, I forgot to ask, what is measurement of the screen, and what do they weigh? I might be having second thoughts. (joke) And...

I'd like to ask what HT does and what enhancements HT 3.0 has over 1.0. Also, I've been reading that few software are dual-core ready (I'd really like to know what can make use of 2 cores right now) so is it safe to assume that there are even fewer able to take advantage of 4 cores? I am on...

I'm ok. Just lost my internet for yesterday afternoon and was busy elsewhere the whole day today. I wasn't able to get to the place before the government was able to shut the whole thing down. Come to think of it, I was listening to those men (rebels) over the TV and they had a good cause (to...
