Very very interesting. I'm sure you already read the news. Sounds like a fantastic investment opportunity if you can find and invest in a company that will be the best at developing software to handle many, many cores efficiently ....before they get bought out by M$ or some other large tech...

That's probably it, I'd bet.

Labor was next to nothing. It's mostly for the tire. The rear tire (Michelin W-rated, P255/45R18 Pilot) got a screw just inboard of the sidewall. If it had been an inch or two closer to the center of the tire patch, it could have been repaired for $20. It was a slow leak (1-2 psi per day)...

I just had to buy a new tire for my wife's car. $303 installed. :-( Sorry to hear about your dog, Merc. That sucks way worse than my little annoyance.

Friend of mine dropped 40 pounds just by switching from regular to diet coke. Granted, he drank about a 2-liter per day but it really made a big difference. No exercise required. :-)

You will make $ supporting it.

http://www.cipherserver.com/phpbb2/viewtopic.php?t=280 Looks like 5 hours for a 80-100GB disk is pretty standard. Encrypting and then formating is more secure than just formating. Adds another layer of protection. Worth it for the few seconds it would take if you don't want to wait for...

Use the Vista upgrade and do a full/fresh install w/o having XP... http://tech.monstersandcritics.com/news/article_1255537.php/Windows_install_glitch_could_save_hundreds_of_dollars

It would be faster because you don't have to wait hours for the process to complete. I never said it was more secure.

I read an interesting article in PC World while waiting for a flight at the airport. If you are using Windows 2000/XP/Vista they recommended you encrypt the contents of your drive folders (except for the Windows and some other directories) using Windows Explorer before formatting and the...

I ended up using the SBLive! in the end. It did sound better in games and I think the cpu utilization was lower IIRC. If you have the room for it, I recommend using the card. Plus, the M$ drivers via WindowsUpdate seemed to have full functionality so there was no need for the Creative drivers.

Just got back from a cruise. While in St. Maarten, we pulled up next to the Freedom of the Seas. Turns out it was an all gay men's cruise. http://www.atlantisevents.com/html/vac/FR07.asp Talk about interesting viewing from our ship. Every guy on the ship seemed to be really buff and they...

whoops wrong thread

WTF! I thought I paid you already! Sorry about that!! Payment will be sent to your yahoo address immediately.

Thanks dudes.

Got a nice 512MB DIMM for cheap from Merc (Thanks Merc) to add to my brother-in-laws system to give him 1GB. He has an NF2 Ultra motherboard The 512MB DDR DIMM I got from Merc is Rosewill. The other DIMM is Kingston. Can I run dual channel even though they are not identical DIMMS? Or...

Just tried this on my own computer: netsh int ip reset c:resetlog.txt No harm done it seems.

I tried the 'Repair Network Connection' option via the GUI. I'll have to give those other options a try too. Thanks.

Fresh install of IE7 has a refresh button immediately to the right of the url address box. It's a button with green up/down arrows on it. Or you can just hit F5. I use FFox though.

:-) My dad is not good with change. This is someone I had to explain the concept of 'double-click' to a couple years ago. He's kept is system spyware free and doesn't venture out to the 'bad' stuff. So, I'm going to have him stick with what he's used to (IE) until I see a reason to ask him...

This is just the Ethernet network connection to the wired router that connects to his cable modem. Before the WindowsUpdates were applied, the connection initialized quickly upon bootup and he was immediately able to access the internet. Immediately after the updates, it takes about 30...

Thanks. He's all set now.

My dad's system runs good smooth and quick. Only problem is that, when he boots up, his network is slow to initialize a connection. So, he has to wait about 30-45 seconds after he can see his WinXP Desktop before the network connection is active (little TVs appear in the taskbar) and he can...

My dad's toolbars in IE are all Effed up. He has a bunch of custom search ones up there and all kinds of crap I don't know how he got in there. It's soo effed up that you can't even see his url address bar (he can't even type in an address). How can I just get it back to bone stock? I will...

We have to keep the alarm clock in our bedroom 1:10 fast because that's the way my wife has done it ever since she was a teen. So when I get up at 7:10 it's actually 6:00.

It worked just fine. Used WinXP installer to delete both partitions, create a small partition of about 1/2 the drive and then install XP. No more grub. C

Dayum my recommended is 515W. Doesn't seem right to me.

Looks like I can just boot from the WinXP disk and get to the recovery console to use FDISK, eh? C

I have GRUB on my laptop since I installed a version of linux and am dual booting with WinXP. I want to wipe the laptop hard drive and do a fresh install of only WinXP (do a dual boot of Linux on my Desktop machine instead). Anything special I need to do to get rid of GRUB? Thanks, C

Worked perfectly using a new OEM copy of WinXP Pro & the key changer.

Sorry, already sold on AT.

Nice thing about this motherboard is that it has Audigy sound onboard rather than something lower end. The BIOS fan controls are excllent too making this thing very quiet! Board is a good overclocker. http://www.hothardware.com/viewarticle.aspx?articleid=830&cid=3 I should be ready to get...

PM me what you think it's worth to you. I got an offer on AT for a Kingston 512MB PC2700 DIMM for $30 shipped. This is essentially a gift I'll be putting in my brother-in-laws computer when I put a new HDD in the three year old beast for him so I'm tight on the budget. I just want his...

Thanks DD.

Let me know if you have one to spare for cheap. DDR400 is fine too. Thanks, C

Maybe this will do it: http://www.microsoft.com/genuine/selfhelp/pkuinstructions.aspx All I need to do is change the product key or will there be more to it?

A relative has been using WinXP Pro with a corporate key. I finally convinced them to buy a legit copy of XP Pro OEM. Do I have to wipe their entire current install and reinstall to make the installation legit or can I somehow swap in their new legit CD key without screwing up their current...

dammit i can't miss this somebody please host it. :-P

I'm running Ubuntu for the first time. I'm happy to say it seems to be working great on my old laptop (even my 802.11g Netgear card). It came with Firefox 2.0 installed but I want to upgrade to 2.0.0.1. I downloaded the tar.gz file for the latest Firefox, but now how do I install it? In...

I'm wondering how Coug could see the bad WUs though...? C

thanks for the heads up I will check it out.... I think it's because I just downloaded and installed the latest and greatest ATi drivers a couple days ago. Oh well, maybe I'll stop GPU folding. Just shut down the GPU folder so we'll see how it goes. How do I check for the bad WUs? Thanks, C

Another vote for Mission style furniture. We have it in our dining room, great room and bedroom. I would hesitate to buy something online w/o seeing it in person.

Actually, here: http://detroit.craigslist.org/

Sold for $100 on Craig's List

See if you can swap out the final drive gear. Did that in a friends Mustang but we actually went from a 2.73 final drive to a 3.73 final drive (for greater acceleration). Going to a lower ratio final drive will affect all of your drive gears, you will pull fewer RPM to get the same speed in...

Price is now $80.

The camera and everything in this combo package works perfectly. Here is what you get: Kodak DX6440 4.0 Mega Pixel Digital Camera with 4x Optical Zoom and 3x Digital Zoom, & Manual Controls Here is a good review of the camera : Link to Review Kodak EasyShare Base for Camera charging...

Merc- The adapter came with the mini-SD card. Anyway, I think I want 2GB rather than 1GB so I'll end up buying a new card anyway....
