I've only had a Fujitsu and a Quantum fail on me (I've stayed away from WD), but the Fujitsu was a MPG 3409 AH, so it was kind of expected. :)

You're right. I've had maybe 4-5 IBM/HGST drives and they have all been working fine until I replaced them with bigger drives. So I don't really doubt their reliability. But it can be fun to mess with the sales person when they come with these kind of statements. :D

I guess he didn't mention why the don't have 5 years of warranty on their desktop drives?

I'm looking for a LCD that's good for photo editing and playing racing games once in a while. I'm using a Viewsonic VX922 right now and it's perfect for games and lurking on forums, but it leaks (a lot of) light around the edges and it only has 16.2 million colors. I'm leaning towards a 19"...

It's OK, I got around 380KB/s when I tried now.

I only get around 20-25KB/s at the moment. It used to be around 600KB/s after the problems was fixed. :|

Happy New Year. :D

I would go with the Antec... I only have experience with the older 480 NeoPower but it was reasonably quiet and OK in every way until the day it died.

One not so bad thing about Dell is that they don't install 1.000.000 programs by default. We bought some IBM-crap at work, and it took a few reboots before it was installed. And then the computer had a bunch of useless programs in the start menu.

Even if it's a little late... I'm getting 18-22Kb right now and I'm on 100Mbit. 1 <1 ms <1 ms <1 ms ua-213-113-171-2.cust.bredbandsbolaget.se [213.113.171.2] 2 3 ms 2 ms 2 ms ge0-2.cr1.svl1.se.bredband.com [195.54.116.177] 3 32 ms 32 ms 32 ms...

Yes, well I was using it on prehistoric Sparc-workstations in the university ... I haven't tried Solaris on X86 before since Sun wanted money for it, and besides I didn't have any need for a *nix OS until now. (I installed Gentoo once a few years ago, but got rid of it after about 5 minutes...

The last time I played with Solaris before trying 10 was back in 1998 or something, so I might not be the right person to ask. :D It's still a bit tricky to compile stuff out of the box though. But at least it comes with Apache 2 and php4 (php5 is available from sunfreeware.net) and it has a...

Solaris 10, or maybe OpenSolaris? I've tried Solaris 10 a little bit in VMWare, and it works fine as far as I can tell. But I don't know if it's better than feodora.

Well, maybe the system only meant for parallel parking? It looks like it from the all the movies I've seen on internet.

New technologies that they put in cars seldom work 100%, but I'm sure they'll get it right any year now. But it feels a little bit like they've found a solution to a problem that doesn't exist in the first place.

Ooopps... sorry dd, my bad.

I saw a tip on another forum about how you move the close button to the right, without extensions. :) Go to about:config and change the value for browser.tabs.closeButtons to 3.

Now that I've used it some more I think IE7 is more like Syphilis. Left untreated it can cause damage to both the nervous system, heart and brain.

You're right, apparently the vulnerability has been known for about six month http://www.theinquirer.net/default.aspx?article=35210 :aok: I've installed it on the computer at work, and it's OK except that the tabs are really ugly (maybe not a huge problem, but still), and I can't find a way...

Ant they've already found a Security hole in it. :D http://secunia.com/advisories/22477/

It doesn't work for me either, I've tried with Firefox, IE7 RC1 and Opera 9.01.

I'm using Firefox 2 RC1, it seems OK except that I can't get the access keys to work. It might be PEBKAC, but it worked fine in 1.5.0.x...

You mean something like this? ;)

I built a E6300 last week for a man that wanted an upgrade from his K6-2 450 or something like that. It has 1 GB Corsair ValueSelect DDR-2 667, and ASUS P5V-VM DH motherboard. I would have bought an Intel motherboard, but they didn't have any in stock... Anyway, the system felt snappy and has...

Well, you could say that his style of programming is a bit unusual in this millennium. I kind of like the children's page though. Another fine example of HTML-horror and Javascript abuse: www.serietidningar.com, a homepage about comics. By the way, the pop-up in the beginning says that the...

I think that GM put the black boxes in all their cars. And I also think that they will never give the data away to someone outside the company. I mean, would you buy a Corvette or Saab if you knew that the police or insurance company could take a look at the data whenever they feel like it?

I'm pretty lazy, so I mostly just steal the markup from some of my old pages and adjust it a bit, and use CSS to control the layout. I think it's faster than poking around in a WYSIWYG editor. But of course, the best way to get a homepage is to buy it from a real pro, like Swedens own WebIngO...

Maybe you should tell your friend to use " around values, as in <font size="5">big</font>? I don't know if it's 100% necessary in HTML4, but it's good if he/she is going to code XHTML sometime in the future. And you wrote </size> instead of </font> after the <font size="5">, otherwise it's fine...

Yes, really sad.

I think the Classik Movie costs around $4000, they also have a Classik Musik for around $2000, but the Movie apparently plays CD's much better, and the Katans should cost around $1000. Maybe it's a little bit of money, but it's cheap for the amount of sound quality.

Looks really nice... A cheaper compact alternative might be a Linn Classik Movie connected to a couple of Katans, or something like that.

This is really annoying, if it's true... http://www.theinquirer.net/default.aspx?article=34094

Funny, I had the exact same experience with my NeoPower 480 that I bought around October-November 2004, except that the computer had been acting flaky a couple of days before (as in the soundcard stopped working and some keys on the keyboard.) But one day, not too long ago, the computer simply...

I don't know, but maybe it's related to bandwith limitations of DVI or something? Don't you need two DVI-connectors to run the Apple Cinema 30" at 2560x1600?

I've heard that coffee has some substance that helps you to go to sleep if you go to bed right after you drink it.

I don't know, but maybe you could put the forum jump above the quick reply box? Maybe in the same level as the post reply button, but still on the right side? I also like the idea of having a minimize/expand button on the quick reply box.

I've used Joker.com quite a lot for domain registrations, and I only have good things to say about them.

Congratulations, really good news!

I would also vote for #3.

Have you tried to deactivate hibernation and restart the computer?

It's not that new any more, but a woman got killed by a banana. Link.

Anathor==ErikHenrikson?

I had to take the Xeon 2.8 offline a few days ago, but I'll see if I can't get some more points/day out of the P4 3.0. Anyway, I'm currently folding away with: 1 x P4 3.0GHz (one client) 1 x P4 1.8GHz (one client) 1 x X2 3800+ @2200MHz (two clients)

You're right, I took a look at the computer today and it hasn't been folding QMD's for a while now. :( I think I'll have to buy a graphics adapter...

One of my folding computers also has 512MB RAM minus 32MB shared graphics memory, but I think it's receiving QMD's most of the time...

Flight Simulator X also looks promising. But I don't know how good the flight model is.

Happy New Year from Sweden

I have an Asus A8N SLI Premium with my X2 3800+, but it doesn't like my Asus 6600GT Silencer GPU. Perhaps it doesn't like the RAM (Kingston value 2-Gigglebyte kit) or something, but it feels a bit strange that two Asus products doesn't work together... The problem is that the screen shuts down...

How about an iBook? You can get the 14" for $1,198.00 in the Apple Store right now.
