Interesting: "The model with the lowest capacity seems to be a loathed child. It has always been far behind the others in all the tests, so we advise you to disregard it when you’re shopping for a HDD."

Good luck with your endeavour! After seing both sides from close proximity, I don't wonder when someone used to running their own business tends to want to keep it that way, instead of working for a bit company.

Thanks bartender. Now I might not get up anymore....:)

Good luck! Keep us posted on how it goes.

Have to agree with this, but also say it's too few a years ago that I had trouble with MSI and caps blowing. I might check them out in a year or so again....

I have to disagree a bit, I've used about 5-6 different PCI GIGe NICs in my computers. I've used Windows and linux with them, and at least with 32bit PCI, and 2800+ processors and a gig of DC ram, getting just to 3x fast ethernet speed is good. Same with older integrated GIGe implementations...

Thanks Merc! Great work, as usual! Bartender, bring in the drinks! So should I just sit back and relax, and refresh a few times before the next episode comes up? ;)

Congrats! It's always a good time for some rum ;)

I think we're all jealous! :) Take care! Have fun! Watch out for all kinds of hazards! And this time, as Buck said, we REALLY want to see some proof.... no pictures of your wonderfull trips! If not, well start thinking your just enjoying yourself in some place with exotic dancers ;)

Here it's against the law to have the engine running on idle for more than 2 minutes, due to environmental concerns. Although no one will call the cops if you run it for longer :) -7 here at the moment, and it's been a GREAT day, lot's of sunshine and lot's of snow!

Here it's quite the norm to use something like Defa in all cars, and to hook it up to an electricity source in the evening so you can have a nice, warm car (interior and engine) in the morning when you go to work. Some tests suggest that starting the car when it's -10 celcius outside is...

Gotta love that :) ! And it's even more fun when you find some quiet place to try some high-speed skidding turns on top of ice ;)

Thanks Buck and Bartender! I've found a new love concerning rum, Captain Morgan's Spiced Jamaica Rum! Excellent stuff! Recommended for everyone! A bunch of people at work, and I, ordered some alcohol from Germany a few weeks ago. I dared to order 5 bottles of the above mentioned elixir, and...

It's a pre-starting heater that can be installed in a car, to heat the engine and possible the passanger compartment. It uses fuel from the car as it's energy source. You can even have controller systems attached to it that start when you send it an SMS with a cell phone.

Still alive and kicking, thanks for asking! :) Although we did get winter here pretty darn quickly, and with a bang. Heavy snowing, and some major wind, but boy does it look pretty when everything is white again! Very slippery hear at the moment, and about 7 degrees Celsius cold here now...

Disappointing, guess it won't be my next buy...

Congrats Tony! Keep 'em posts coming!

Gone....

Not good, I've got this installed on a lot of computers....

Argh, no one gave me the heads up on this! http://www.theregister.com/2004/11/05/bofh_2004_episode_38/

I'm about to RMA (When I get decent packaging) my a7n8x-x motherboard, due to memory problems. The importer hadn't heard about any problems with it and memory, but the net is full of this (see amdmb.com forums).

Just wanted to remind everyone to keep future posts in this thread civilised, as it's a very flammable subject! :excl:

Hmm, a few interesting tidbits we have heard here: -55000 votes missing a week before the voting day -due to computer glitch some voting place told the voters to come back later -5hours queues for those wanting to vote (can't remember where) - international observers not allowed on the premices...

Welcome back! You're an experience richer now, know more about yourself, about the marines, and what you like! So something gained from this!

Absolutely FANTASTIC pictures Tony, I'll drink to that! Uhh, the drinking yes, drinking makes me sleepy. I do usually drink may once a week, mostly during the weekends. A sixpack of good beer or some rum while watching a good movie at home, that's what I like.

Uh, how about just "cat /proc/cpuinfo" ? No need for searching that way.

:mrgrn:

...Do the survey, answer D for the above mentioned question ;)

"The best way to encourage uptake in wireless networking at your workplace would be posters" LOL, right, I'm getting wireless :)

Has anyone any experience from Trust (www.trust.com) UPS's?

POM-POM!!!!!!!!! Congrats!

Bloody marvellous Merc! Congrats! What would we do without you... Bartender, where are those drinks! (Just got a bottle of 21years old Appleton Jamaica rum...yummy! Don't know when I'll dare to try it, damm expensive stuff.)

Good luck! That'll be a great experience, I'm sure!

Antec Phatom review, very efficient fanless PS: http://www.silentpcreview.com/article188-page1.html

Just put the same on a P4, recommended. Very silent. No wonder it's top 2 on the recommended list at silentpc.

This is about the only thing wort looking at at Tom's these days. This is the new video card survey: http://graphics.tomshardware.com/graphic/20041004/index.html

Rise and shine everyone! http://www.theregister.com/2004/10/04/bofh_2004_episode_33/

OT: Merc, how about putting folding@home as a service on those comps? ;)

Is someone running linux on the k8n-e asus? Wondering what quirks it has....google, here I come.

Good work, and good luck!

I just finished watching Star Trek 1-3. Going to download the rest from a friend, and continue with them tomorrow. Next up, the movie thread! :) I also watched The Punisher, Sniper 3 and some others that don't put a load on your brain....I'm really beginning to know this sofa inside out by now.

Good info! Thanks for the link.

Great service here Bartender, thanks! After the headache this morning, I'll stay away from beer. You we're all right, beer and flu don't mix well together ;) Recommendations for good movies welcome here, I've got nothing better to do than lie on the sofa and watch movies with my laptop.

I finally upgraded my file server to a Asus p4c800-e with a PresHott 3000 (couldn't get a northwood), and I'm running 2 FAH instances on it (Thanks Mark!). Running a Fedora Core 2 SMP kernel with it, no problems. YUM is recommended, seem to work nicely!

Bartender, one more before I go: http://www.olvi.fi/positiivinen/tuotteet/oluet/Sandels/ My favourite Finnish beer!

Yes, Bartender, Yes. You are right. I am drunk (and suffering from fever, throat ache, flu, possibly from pneumonia.....). The movie (Xvid, give me the "bad look" later..), was GOOD. Capital G everyone! I liked it! Recomended! Check it out! I'm off to bed....and a doctor tomorrow...

Take care.

Still a small problem compared to many others :)
