When did the non-gallon sized fur-ball get back?

Interestingly, the few in warranty Dell systems that I've worked on where the customer was worried about keeping their warranty intact, called Dell and asked them if my monkeying around in the system would void the warranty. Apparently, since I'm a reseller with a busines license, the warranty...

Sempron would be my choice. Currently, I have the 2600, 3000, 3100, 3300, and 3400 available. When they are available, I view the 3100 and 2600 as the best value.

Very nice Steve. It must have been fabulous at its pinnacle.

A bit ho-hum until the end -- fantastic!

Hoolie Doolie! Ten people on Storageforum and not a sock-puppet in sight!

. . . or Buckley. :D

Earth.

My standard is pretty lenient. As long as I'm not concerned that there is some bio-hazard material, I'll clean it. That's one reason why I recently purchased a small cannister vacuum cleaner. It does a great job blowing out all the dust/lint/pet hair. Compressed air is useless in my opinion...

Bartender's not available Pradeep. I'll take charge of the liquor cabinet.

HijackThis would be a good idea; also try Adsspy.

Interesting observations Liam. I've had a total of two Samsung drives fail over the past three years. I figured it wasn't worth the RMA process. I looked at their kludge of a setup they offer online and then tossed the drives in the trash. WD have a very easy RMA process. The only trouble...

That isn't good. I only use the G2 series from them and have only had to replace one PSU. I couldn't tell if it was the fault of the PSU or not. Their electrical mains are flaky -- sags and brown-outs are common for them. They are now using UPS units. I never suspected that their posh part...

I haven't built any systems where the Apex case branded the PSU, they have all used 250 watt or 300 watt Allied units.

Do you have Apex computer cases available to you? http://www.apextechusa.com

I finally got the hardware. Now I can hook laptop drives onto my copy workstation.

So, where did this test rocket make its mark? Tony is always trying to save the outback and they're killing it.

Sort of an awkward congratulations with the sad goodbyes and the reinstated job.

Genau.

Enjoying Bombay Sapphire with Mineral Water while listening to a little Janis Joplin. :D

As strange as this may seem to some, I do like Windows XP. I like the GUI and its interoperability with a wide variety of hardware (much better than Windows 2000). Nonetheless, the ancillary applications that come along with Windows XP are admittedly poor -- such as IE and OLE. Yet, many of...

The woes of OEM systems. Mark, if you can (and find the experiment amusing) I would wait. It isn't your only system. However, if it was critical, I would replace the fan (or PSU if a standard item fit).

Not me. I sell systems with a CPU speed that will last several years. Typically it is the other components that need an upgrade after 3 years. Regardless of any upgrade path, I still wouldn't buy Biostar.

I know this doesn't seem to relate to your error code, but I would also test the hard drive. If you are running large WU's, memory will be hogged and Windows will swap more frequently, even for routine duties.

Those are beautiful! (The bhajis sound good too.)

One issue that I have come across with OpenOffice Writer is mail merge. I haven't been able to make this feature work with a database created in Access. I was hoping that I could open the two files in their respective OO counterparts and voila, but no voila.

That's something I need to setup in my garage -- 2.5 drive copy hardware. I have the software, I just need the hardware setup.

I have had good success LiamC. On my new system I no longer run Microsoft Office, just OpenOffice. The only one file that gave me problems was a .pps file. Typically PowerPoint opens this, but a standard PowerPoint file is .ppt. Openoffice didn't inherently open this file until I made a...

Interesting perspective Tannin. For the last year . . . or maybe it's been two year already . . . I've used the next step above a vomit box for my hardware needs. It has a Celeron 2.53 GHz CPU, 512 MB RAM, WD hard drive, onboard Intel Graphics/LAN/Audio, and Windows 2000. Yet it competently...

Nice! When do the 120 GB versions come out? :D

Ironically, the 50's were the advent of the electrical age -- everything modern was to run on electricity: cloths dryers, ovens, stove-tops, heaters, etc. I'm glad they don't.

:D Hence GS' power woes. It is so nice when the power in the neighborhood goes out. Finally, it gets quiet.

A microwave and two Xeon's on the same circuit are bad. :P

Nice!

SuSE 10/Gnome on a PII 400 with 512 MB of RAM is okay, not great, just okay. Gnome won't install on a system with 64 MB of RAM.

No bueno.

Based on the W3C Schools' chart, it would be Indigo.

For one, the color depends on the brightness and contrast setting for your monitor. With a 19" CRT and my standard high-contrast/low-brightness setting, it looks like Pantone Reflex Blue. As I maximize the brightness the color changes to Pantone Violet and finally Pantone Purple. These colors...

I saw that on the news too. I believe that was in Northern Australia.

Sorry to hear of the bad news Merc. Cancer is a terrible thing.

I decided to burn another SuSE 10 installation DVD, but this time I made it from within SuSE10/Gnome. I right-clicked the ISO file, picked the 'write' option, and the DVD was done in less than 10 minutes -- very nice! The same DVD (same media) burned on the exact same system, but running...

I bought one of these miniature wonders to test out. It is actually more useful then I expected. I needed to transfer a large DVD ISO file and this drive was perfect. I also transfered some other files to an older system, and the 440BX board in there had no problems detecting this USB device...

Figured it out. Just Right-Click on the desktop and pick the option "Create Launcher..." This gets you the necessary dialogue box to create a short-cut with commands.

Nope, no such folder. The wine files are under /usr/bin/ but I wouldn't know what to do with them. I double-clicked a few, and a dialgue box to run them opened. But when I clicked on any of the options (run in terminal, run), nothing happened.

With SuSE 10 it is very easy to click on Applications>Run Application...>[type code such as "wine sol.exe"]. However, I would like to automate this WINE process. How can I create an icon on my Gnome desktop that I can click in order to run WINE and a Windows application?

Pradeep, how are your prospects for new employment?

Where is the Grammar Police when you need them?

This morning was really nice. Before the sun came up over the horizon, the full moon was setting over the ocean. My camera wasn't set up for taking any long exposure pictures, so I didn't capture the moment. :( But the site was still beautiful.

Interesting idea, but they seem to tip over easily.
