Hmmm. I enjoy reading these posts. Problem is I don't even have a car. I used to own a vehicle before, between 1990 and 1995. I don't have a picture of it but here's a link to what it somehow looks like. http://www.thingsasian.com/goto_article/article.2348.html There's another site but the pix...

Lemming reporting in. Fell off the cliff but didn't die. The system is still alright. Win2K on Duron 950 soldered direct to an ECS K7SEM (SiS chipset) w/ 192mb SDRAM. Inno3D 32Mb GeForce2 MX400, Fujitsu 8.4Gb hard disk drive It's reporting CPU temps of 67deg Celsius.

nye! It's 2006. How come these things still happen? I'll install it right now and see what it does to this system.

fully concur. but wait, how hard is it to chuck half of the equipment into the dumpster? hah just kidding. In our country, we have a lot of the same thing going on. old old printers with clogged nozzles. old slot 1 machines just begging to be upgraded/trashed. huh, just realized I'm...

Sayang ("what a waste" or "it's a pity" in Tagalog) I hoped any offense, unintentional or even intentional could be talked over and resolved. I've just unhappily realized some of us could be together for a long time, sharing a lot of things we enjoy and still not be friends. But for the...

Buck, you are fortunate to have no access to FAKE Kingston memory. They have been a problem here.

Well, the machine you linked to generates sounds which are supposed to relax a person into sleep or rest. As to it "overpowering" the ordinary ambient noises in your neighborhood. It will be a matter or noise against noise, which may or may not be good, as decibel levels just "add up" I have...

We always have regular. Decaf never caught on in this country. Yup, I think that getting me warm inside is what does the trick. It also helps that I am a regular coffee drinker and have built up my tolerance to caffeine.

When I can't sleep for some reason, I go make some coffee. Then I can sleep. Funny, but it's true

This is the third time I gone to the thread and read it through. Sadly this is the first time I've actually understood it. And it is "really" easy to interpret the intent as "anticipating a death which may be 'predicted'". If I remember correctly, there has been previous concern for Eric's...

Hello, Our office 160gb Seagate HDD is failing and I have tried backing up our data to DVDs. Problem is, even after "Burn Successful" and Data Verification Successful" messages in Nero, the same burner will not see the disk it has burned. 5 discs already. I brought the disks home and fed them...

Hahaha, I offered him my processor, a seagate 6.4 hard disk drive and a 128mb SDRAM module. He has said yes. We're in the process of negotiating a meeting place and time.

I'll be holding on for a year, on this motherboard. At least I think that's about as long a time I'll need to scrounge up the moolah (do people still use this term for money?) to for a "modern" processor. They say an X2 3800 will be very cheap. I wonder if it will still be around in a year's...

Sayang. (it's a tagalog word, roughly translated "what a waste" or "what a pity")

Thank you. I'm relieved.

I am using a Socket A Sempron 2400+ on a Gigabyte KT600 mobo with 512mb DDR-SDRAM There's a Barton 2600+ on sale and the owner says he'll accept my Sempron if I'll add P1,000 (that's around USD19). Shall I bite? I'm thinking of asking him to go down to P800. The only CPU intensive thing I do...

I have a 2year old system on an AsRock board (TBred 2000+) which is trouble free. Have not reformatted the machine since I set it up. And lots of kids here (my local tech forum) have bought S939 NF4 AsRocks because of price/performance. Yep, they feel very flimsy. Bottom line, they're very...

I use AVG free edition myself and install it or recommend it to all my friends/clients. Easy to use and have had no complaints at all. Glad to know it's not on the list of "test-against" software.

I'll be sixty (probably) before I get any congratulations. In the meantime, hey, thanks to the guys for enlivening up my life. Post some more.

Yes, it is a good travel summary. Lots of info in just a few words. If ever I get to travel to italy, I'll dig this up first. Thank you, Will.

I am logging in on a Monday night. Surprised. But pleasantly so. Thank you Mr. Handruin, sir. New is mostly always good. Blue is also cool. But what I had before was orange. My 2nd daughter likes orange.

$200? for separate Office components? ok, open office it is. We can buy the Office Pro Suite for $270 here. If the Students Edition has Powerpoint, I'll ask a friend to buy it from there.

The Office Pro Suite is too expensive. But the person in my office needs Powerpoint and the Small Business Edition comes without it.

I'd like to grow a beard, too. :lol: Or a mustache. :( But it takes 5 days after a shave before the hairs start to grow out of my chin. And there are maybe about 50 on the right side and30 on the left. And about a third of those are white. On my lip, there are like 5 hairs on the right and...

Augggghhhhh! Is this true? (this makes me look so unaware and living under a rock, but so be it)

Coug, hmmmm. mind if I ask what an AM2 A64 3800+ costs in your price lists? you mentioned somewhere that the Skt939 variety dropped drastically in price. I'm curious, to what did it drop to?

I work with some Swiss missionaries and our NGO has some Aussie donors right now, therefore I was rooting for Switzerland and Australia yesterday. Gahhhh, bad news this morning. They both lost!

Chess??? Actually the game (World Cup Football) itself is exciting only at times. That is, when an attack is underway. But most attacks end very quickly. Some sort of interruptus. And everyone knows that's annoying. The part of the coverage I can really enjoy is when they replay the goals in...

oops, I forgot to say, have not used any registry cleaner at all. Format - reinstall. If it gets really weird, backup, sell the hard drive, buy a new one, Format - reinstall.

I still can't get over the habit of erasing my drive when I get the feeling it's acting up. And sometimes it's just acting up in my imagination. maybe every 5 months. Well, it's better now. In the old days (w98) it was something like 5X in 2 days.

I could be wrong but... I don't think so. The government is a bit strict morality wise so I suppose Bangkok/Manila style discos with girls prancing up and down in ultra-skimpy attire would be frowned upon. Still, there's night-life. That place was where I first saw two good-looking china...

The equivalent of Pesos 15,000. The most expensive processor I've ever had the pleasure of owning was P4,500, a Celeron-D 2.66 which was the dogs!

your kidneys must be taking a whacking! and probably your stomach, too.

Singapore is 28 deg Celsius the whole year round, it always rains in the afternoon, sometimes a bit, sometimes a little more. Very few typhoons, though. Very clean city, very strict, good IT infrastructure. We are a bit more exciting, lotsa typhoons, we get a bit cooler and a lot warmer, a lot...

So how much difference in the "feel" between the NICE box and the CHEAP box?

yep. as to the encoding used by the digicam, I seriously doubt it would be in MJPEG as this format uses a lot of space. MPG4 would probably be it. I suppose a quick check of the camera manual would be required.

ok, tried rotating a clip here. tried it at default settings (as VirtualDub is presented) the only changes I made were in the video menu > filters > rotate. you are right, the frame rate will seem slow. I've found out the problem. VirtualDub won't allow you to rotate unless you are in "Full...

let me try rotating a small clip here with VirtualDub to see what the minimum settings are. I think 'direct stream copy' setting won't allow you to rotate. post back after a while.

Hello, Tony, do you have a webpage for those Bliss casings?

hi, so did VirtualDub get to do it? I'd have used it, too, if that were my problem.

If I had the money, I'd be tempted. I don't know if I'm glad I don't have the money. I guess I'm glad. This way, I don't feel any bit guilty. Which means, I am really glad!!!

I agree. I am an evangelical. And I work with NGO's involved with street children and in empowering youth in their communities. We see the need to teach teens about safe sex and contraception and we do so. It is also true that evangelicals who think this way and do what we do are very few. And I...

the caliber you mentioned does not apply to guns, unless I am terribly wrong. More like anti-tank or some such hardware. oh, and it would be hard to imagine women of greater caliber than that. is this pushing the envelope? will this thread be locked?

why was it deleted? I think a mod decided that the guys would just go on and on and on with their fun. Kids here are verrry playful. And it's not like there where you can go out and buy toys like those. So before too much bandwidth was taken up, they decided to delete it. Besides there seemed...

somebody posted a used USB vibrator on our primary PC parts trading forum. It attracted 11 pages of posts in the 1/2 hour before it was deleted.

We have very few beers here. The most popular is San Miguel Pale Pilsen. The 2nd most popular is "Beer na Beer" which they market as something you would mistake for San Miguel if you had a blindfold on (for a lower price, of course). There's Gold Eagle which is cheap and tastes like stale tea...

hey, I noticed the post numbers don't increase per post. and in which thread please did Tannin cheat?

I'd buy one.

Bozo, what's wrong with Seagate IDE Hard Drives? Well, I don't use them, but why place them in the "hate" list?

The wife was so excited last week. She was going to Boracay for a 3-day teaching seminar. She got there by boat/ship just before they closed shipping lanes due to typhoon "caloy". She was witness to whipping coconut trees and screaming waves for 3 days, instead of the clear waters and white...
