The eBAY Song... http://www.gary-hendershot.com/flash/ (requires Macromedia Flash for audio playback)

I can't take the job, but I *was* semi-regularly appearing in the Santa Cruz and (just over the range) Santa Clara county areas at one time (Alameda and Contra Costa as well).

http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&ncid=&e=6&u=/ap/20040402/ap_on_hi_te/sun_microsystems ========================================================================== McNealy: Boy oh boy! With the price of things going up around here in the south bay area, this $1.6 Billion sure will...

About 10 minutes after I made that second post, just above Mercutio's, my IAP dumped my dial-up connection and I was not able to regain Internet access until just a couple of hours ago. It's a long sordid story, but the jackasses never informed me in advance that they were going to all new...

Some of the closets. I guess you could call it a "closet sale." Otherwise, it's all been properly stored.

Jeez, I'm away for a week and this happens! :idea: Anyway, here's a novel idea: Mercutio, go to a Worst Buy (or whatever) and look at all the cameras they have in stock. Find out which ones seem to work best in your hands. After that, worry about the specifications, tests, to weed out the...

... a humdinger of a yardsale !!! First Come... First Served... http://www.gary-hendershot.com/yardsale/

I wonder if it'll have an on-die memory controller and use HyperTransport? :chuckle:

Wasn't aware of the Credit Processor stage. I just thought it went from the brick'n'mortar merchant's cash register (or merchant's SSL-enabled website) straight to VISA / MC, and then onto the bank (Citibank, etc). Well, at least you are only leaving small change in that debit-enabled bank...

Thanks for catching that. I actually meant [i] ultra[/ u]. I guess I should've used that spelchektm thingee down below.

Well, there goes 4 empty bays for fixed drives! So, if you were presumably using the Supermicro SC-941 chassis we’ve been talking about (which can be setup either as a pedestal case or a rack-mountable case), you would then have 4-each 5¼-inch drive slots available once you mounted your...

Re: Gary: WHERE is your 2nd beagle, and how come he's so far Sure. Home is where the action is. ...posting as other things happen. I'm both multi-user and multi-tasking. I only have one, and I keep it on the shelf above freezer.

A server with these performance characteristics would best be deployed as a compute server (think Cray, SGI). Something else the Itanium does better than anything else (currently) is encryption / decryption. This is, of course, just one of the many forms of compute serving.

It's a very very impressive looking display (picture quality and size). I recently saw one of these at this place: http://www.hometheaterstore.com/mm.htm At the high price they are, they said they were actually "moving them." They're offering a 10% discount on top of 3 years interest-free...

It'll also support drives with a capacity larger than 120 GB -- if you ever need that capability. http://www.knowledgemicro.com/detail.php?p=IDE-U13TXE&c=pw Promise Ultra133 TX2 2 Channel IDE ATA133 66MHz PCI Controller Card Part#: IDE-U13TXE Package: OEM Manufacturer: Promise...

SCSI "6" has highest SCSI device priority and is often used for CD/DVD. SCSI scanners sometimes use "6."

Going ape with orgyans.

Dïscfärm left off a couple of items up above... Given that the price of the Xeon has come down a lot in comparison to the P4, a 2.8 GHz (533 MHz FSB) Xeon is still about 25% more than a 2.8 GHz (800 MHz FSB) P4...

Just in case one is wondering about the server with the X5DP8-G2 mobo, the one with all the SCSI channels... It's hosting one of these (an ADIC Scalar 1000/AIT2 tape library) with over 120 TB capacity. It could've been done with Fibre-Channel, but unfortunately, that would have cost a lot more...

No enjoyment, just a rational reaction. I was on him too quickly, as he didn't have a chance to stand up (he was sitting on a bench when he stuck his leg out). It was basically a quick hard Right Fist, Left Fist, then deep Right Knee into the stomach thing and it was over 2 seconds later...

Believe it or not, beyond maybe the age of 3, I've probably tripped no more than maybe 4 times total. Certainly a hundred close calls along the way, but no classic trip followed by a cessation of walking/running. Once, when I was in my twenties, I recall tripping and falling flat as I was...

Is it that place at the edge of the hills on the east side of town (forgot name). That's the only park I've been to in Walnut Creek. Then there was an arbouretum in Concord built around an old large house, on er... that "triangle" of land with a municipal park.

Does it not respond to a low level format?

Not true. I just walked by a couple of JVC MC-8600FU libraries, which have a 600-disc capacity (various CD and DVD technologies supported) and up to SCSI-attached 6 drives. These have been around for a few years now.

Maxtor's either clearing out stock for an upcoming (and unannounced) model, or they have experienced a mismatch between the production line and the warehouse (i.e. -- a recent major drop-off in demand for that model, or those models) and now the warehouse has too many DM+9 drives. As far as...

The file DFRG.MSC (the Windows DeFrag executable) is located in C:\WINNT\system32. I know this well because I've been having to tell people this -- seemingly on a regular basis -- who've asked me about "getting back" their Windows 2000 DeFrag after a bad bout with Norton SystemWerks.

Isn't it bay-ich.

er..... Raptors? No, those are supposed to be SATA Caviars!

It was around last year, in the form of Windows 2K Embedded for storage devices. Maxtor uses it.

If you are speaking of enterprise-level offline / online / near-line storage, I do now and have for a while -- this would be requirements analysis, system design, procurement process, system setup, system administration, writing procedures, and when needed training system administrators to use...

Sounds like a ménage à trois, with Infineon in the middle. 8)

On-die memory controller implementations have always performed well. Sun UltraSPARC has certainly benefited for the past few years. It's an engineering compromise that really doesn't translate all that well into the fast-paced commodity microprocessor market, only because the processor...

Don't bet on it. The bastards are nearly everywhere. Bull sharks are a major problem on both the Atlantic side and the Pacific side in (nearby) Mexico as well as Honduras, Nicaragua, Panama -- including in Lake Nicaragua (fresh water). Bull sharks are probably the worst sharks overall.

Wow, folks! Can I throw some hand grenades, too? :bravo: Sounds like a mechanical kludge. You're also assuming that the industry will even be using the same pin format that they presently use (talking about contact dimensions, contact type, etc). The protocols are different between...

In my opinion, WinVN is the best newsgroup reader ever devised. It makes newsgroup threads -- long or short -- a lot easier to deal with than anything else I've used. After well over 10 years, it's still at version 0.9 -- actually 0.99.12.H (heh! ok, the version numbering scheme is an...

I was going to let the cat out of the bag last week by posting a message about the upcoming Windows 2000 / SP-4, by saying something snide like: "As long as you haven't had any accidents with a table saw, look at both hands and count yer fingers. This is about how many weeks you *might* have...

Hmmmmm....... otherwise, probably dozens of Tandberg distributors in the UK. http://tandberg.com.br/

There's no problem like that here. Beer, liquor, milk, cola, whatever -- all in one place... http://www.specsonline.com/

I've received E-mails like this before. I usually fill 'em out with bogus -- but believable -- crap info and send 'em back. :lol:

The bears are probably observers from Roosiya.

I use an Acard brand 2-channel ATA-133 host adaptor. It supports CD-R/W and DVD-R/W just fine as well as big ATA-133 hard drives. The Acard 6280 was the first ATA-133 card available. Acard makes their own chipsets for the ATA-133 card. They are also the ones that created those handy little...

I used to have recurring problems with various supermodels breaking into my house at night.

Maybe we should try to convince Sis to name the new company Bro -- at least Lil' Sis.

You probably won't be able to skip SATA-1 so easily, since it seems to be the anointed "desktop" SATA, whereas SATA-2 (and SAS) is the primary storage data channel for server and high-end W/S. Looking into the cloudy crystal ball, it looks as if SATA-2 for the "volume desktop" will be...

Hmmmm..... I wonder if Protein Storage works good when RAID'ed??? :erm: :errr: :errr:

Available in the USA (yet)?

There isn't any error. It's obviously a modern mobo aimed at the Ludite community. :) Eh... It really does come with 3 ISA slots. Not anything I'd be interested in, though. They're using a PCI-to-ISA bridge chip to provide the ISA bus. Chipset Intel 875P chipset Front Side Bus...

More importantly here, is his Pentium 90 running WinXP??? Moot point if not. Well, you'll need a DB25 <---> DB25 Centronics parallel cable. Otherwise, you'll have to go with RS-232 serial transfers. Places like CompUSA sell "LapLink Cable" kits, which have both parallel and serial cables...
