When I moved into my new condo, SBC was trying to sell their services to me. Ironically, they didn't cover our area. So, I felt obliged to tell the sales representative that 'I would love to use SBC but you don't cover my area'. <click>

I had an uncle that used to answer, saying: "Hitler's bunker." There would normally be a long pause on the other if they didn't already know him. <click>

I thought Oz was a foreign language. :D

In contrast, one company put me on hold and they were playing a local hard-rock radio station. It was playing Led Zeppelin's The Immigrant Song - if you're upset or irate, things won't get better after that type of music. :D

But Socket 754 hasn't expired either, it's still marching along just fine.

Socket A CPUs had 462 pins, the next generation has 754 pins, and with this next generation they've dropped the letter nomenclature. So, now it's just Socket 754.

Sure, that would make a nice boot drive.

<sniffle> Bye ol' buddy </sniffle> AMD Socket A slides into oblivion

Yes and YES. :D

I'll be meeting with my customer this week to get some more details about what he plans to do with this system. Has anyone used the PC Power & Cooling Turbo-Cool 850W SSI Power Supply?

I am looking to put a Peachtree Database & yet unprogrammed Access database server together with the following stuff: Tyan S2882G3NR-D - Dual Opteron AMD Opteron OSA246CEP5AU - bulk - only one for now Thermaltake A1838 Silient Boost CKVR400D2R3/512 x 2 Gigabyte GeForce 6200 GV-NX62TC256DE Sony...

Sold. Good work Tim. PS: Nice tips Tony.

ooooh aaaaah . . . nice tim. I like the flash. Did you create that?

Brilliant. Dodgy is as dodgy buys. This is a perfect story to explain how someone like Tony can stay in business for so long.

Ah yes, someone did pull the old buckaroo off-topic trick; a new thread will be forthcoming.

Good thing the bartender has a lime tree out back. :D But bartender, some Chivas for Mr. Wilson; put it on my tab.

Thank you bartender; fill 'er up.

Sell a Sempron 3000+? :D

Interesting, thanks for the link Bozo.

Although, if you take some of those mini-form-factor systems, like Dell Optiplexes, they have an external brick that produces very little heat. You could easily engineer a slightly larger case to house that brick inside and let the heat dissipate through passive coolers. The heat impact on the...

Silence is bliss! But some lame dangling (well loose and sitting on the desk) brick isn't the answer; how about integrating the brick so it becomes a part of the equipment?

Great gobs of goose eggs, the store of the central processor for that new-fangled computer can hold 256,000 words - that's 500 kilobytes! :D

Nice find. I like the illustrations and photographs in that book.

2006 World Cup (Football/Soccer Tannin) is only a year away. Brazil won 1st place for the current FIFA tournament; Argentina took 2nd, and Germany 3rd. Germany has a long way to go before July 2006.

Well it sure has been nice here along the coast. How does Tea stand those exasperating months of 45C weather with all that fur?

Currently, I only have the ADAFX55BNBOX available. The ADAFX57BNBOX shows up as a New item, but inventory currently shows 0 (of course that is just checking online, I haven't called my sales rep.). The same goes for new dual-core ADA and OSA models.

They also have a special supply of OSA850CEP5AV Opteron chips. Who the heck am I going to sell a $1,300.00 chip to (not to mention 8 of them)? Their Sempron supply is drying up, they only have the 2600 and 2800 left. I hope a new shipment comes in soon, otherwise everyone is going to get a...

Hooley dooley, my disti has mobile chips from AMD: TMDML37BKX5LD TMDML40BKX5LD AMN2800BIX5AR AMN3200BIX5AR Those Turion buggers sure are expensive.

Handy link, thanks.

Yes, the 1980 movie. "Pathetic Earthlings... Who Can Save You Now?"

It reminded me of the movie Flash Gordon.

Personally, I've never seen that, and I have taken drives from NT4 systems and have successfully read data from them within 2000 and XP. I've always been in the habit of taking drives like that and connecting then internally.

Mr. Fink writes a little comparison article over at anandtech.

Currently dual-core is limited to four different model numbered 939 chips.

Delightfully, we'll soon be back to Standard Time, and I'll get back that one important hour of sleep. The weather in my small part of the world is comparatively temperate and certainly manageable. I prefer the cooler days of Winter, but can normally withstand the hotter days of summer -...

Indeed, you are far-sighted, but what has that to do with things 24 inches from your bearded face? PS: I know, I'm in the mood for sarcasm, and am willing to receive the consequences. :evil:

I saw this many years ago with Radius monitors (I forget the model, but they were portrait style) for Mac systems. We took the monitors to a television repariman and he said the soldering joints were a joke. He resoldered most of them and the monitor worked beautifully for years.

Maybe it's not the monitors or the DVI connector young Tannin . . . have you had those aging neurological wonders you use for stereo-binocular viewing checked lately? :D

Thanks for the tips Tannin, that will be very helpful.

What was the problem?

It is just that some of us are less percussive, in the Cougtek sense. :wink: :D

So you wouldn't mind editing an html file to add, delete or change your content? If all you need is layout stuff, I could help out.

Have considered using automated software such as CityDesk from Fog Creek?

Short-lived as in the technology is only being used in the interim as other technologies such as LCD improve, because allegedly their potential is much greater.

From what I've heard lately through different a/v certifcation programs, Plasma is a short-lived technology -- something not worth investing your hard earned money.

That is fantastic! I just read it for the 20th time! :rofl:
