As far as UI's go, have you guys seen the new Nod32 UI? I just picked up version 2 of that nifty AntiVirus software. The UI is perfect for this app. Screenshots and product info can be found here. But screenshots don't do it justice. The main window has a treeview. When you click the...

I use a Zip 250 to back up important data.... yet the last time I tried to use it the disk had bad sectors... fortunately I have more disks and my data. It is a great way to backup just the important stuff (as long as the disks are still good - can you tell I'm a little upset over that disk?).

They keep moving, how am I supposed to count them?!?

I am hopeful about that (haven't got the first of those as a homeowner yet).

In defence of symantec (I'm hearing screams of heretic already), changing a service pack could adversely affect speed disks operation. However, there should be some way that is dead simple and can be performed by the user for it to support another service pack level. I actually have the...

When you see the mortgage bill you definitely won't feel ready yet! But it is kind of good not to have a landlord anymore.

freaky! But I don't think they are spinning. Just an optical illusion.

- The included PSU isn't that quiet. How bad is it? Prevent it from being a living room PC? A home theater PC? - The location of the mounting for a front 120mm fan is plain pointless and dumb - in front of the hard drive mounting Is a front fan necessary? And if I wanted a front fan I'd...

I know but it always says that. And this is just a bug fix release so ... I'm just saying that if I get users to convert to this browser, I can't be telling them to do this kind of stuff. When the upgrade happens it just has to upgrade it without user intervention. Anyway, here is a tip for...

Do you have to create a new profile for this one? How are you guys handling moving over preferences cookies and what not? I pulled my bookmark.html and prefs.js into a new profile but I had to log back into all my sites!

How else do you expect it to be able to perform a virusscan over the web? I've used the website address of http://housecall.antivirus.com I think it is easier to remember. This is a great thing to try as a first step for those people that come to you with a computer problem that sounds like a...

Maybe you can use the font from this site to make the name smaller?

I seem to be getting spam to my willrickards.net address lately. I hardly ever got it before. I turned on Spam Assasin and haven't got anything so far.

Yes the bookmark icon thing seems to be broken in every browser in one way or another. Mine don't seem to disappear but getting them to show up took some effort.

XSLT is sort of like a style sheet for xml. But it can do more than that. It actually transfroms the xml into another format. That format can be xml, xhtml, text, pdf, etc. It is most often used to transform xml to xhtml. Here is the intro that I went through...

Anybody know any good books for learning XSL and related technologies. I work on developing custom pages for this web product. Their recent edition moved to an XML/XSL model and I need to learn that. I'm familiar with ASP, vbscript, javascript and html.

Testing: Looks good but not for a sig. Maybe in the profile page? Or on my website.

First off, you know my WD 10GB backup drive died in this whole process. I also back up my important data (contents of My Documents folder minus the stored video) to a 250MB zip disk. Well wouldn't you know it the zip disk developed bad sectors, like 40KB worth. Since I stored everything as a...

It works! So I switched the driver to the IDE instead of RAID. THen I rebooted and flashed the card to the IDE version instead of the RAID version. And presto, my old drive shows up.

Regarding the modem: There seem to be different drivers for the DSP and no DSP versions. The versions on agere's website (v8.28) are for the DSP versions. I found the latest drivers for my modem on www.lectron.net. I have the I56LVP-F50. I also got a Modem On Hold application from there and...

Except for when I hooked everything up, my old hard drive isn't seen by windows! It shows up in the controller bios screen. It sounds like it is booting up fine. It passed the quick test in powermax (maxtor's diag utility). Windows sees it in device manager. But it does not appear in disk...

It wasn't the two primary partitions. It gave the same error when I tried it with extended and primary partitions. I wonder if it would have worked with just one big primary partition taking up the whole drive. I don't remember if I tried that. Anyway since it would not install booting off the...

Do you think trying to make two primary partitions was the problem? I made one primary 1024MB partition and one primary for the rest of the drive. Installing windows while on the onboard controller worked fine after partitioning from the old windows installation's disk management. I think...

I flashed the bios on the card. It was no help at all. It did change where the card's bios appears though. Instead of clearing the screen first it appears after the hard drive detection listing on the same screen. I put the thing on the onboard controller and ran powermax to test the drive...

The modem was like $15 or less. I figured what the heck, since some sites seemed to like the lucent chip. Only after I got it did I discover it was the DSPless version. But monitoring the CPU usage while using the modem seems to indicate it has no real impact on the system.

Bah! The repartitioning and formatting did not help. Same error. I even tried disconnecting the old drive so all there was: CD drive and new hard drive connected to new controller. This error occurs before any F6 prompt. Okay so I didn't want to put it on the onboard controller and set it...

It is an Ultra133 RAID Controller. Specifically: This SYBA Card

I move stuff around so I can boot off the old drive. I put the IBM on the onboard primary master. I then setup and format the new drive attached to the controller after loading the drivers. While I'm back in a functional windows, I decide to: 1) slipstream SP4 onto win2kpro setup cd and add the...

bit annoyed that is So I figure try ghost. No driver loaded but ghost sees both drives so I figure everything is cool and proceed with disk to disk copy. Ghost tells me it won't be bootable, I say ok. Many hours later I come to check on the machine. It has rebooted and tells me there is a disk...

Again boot off CD and try to install windows 2000 on the maxtor. Using the raid floppy drivers. I am able to create the partitions: 1GB swap 117GB win2k But it won't let me install. Says something about an Unknown Disk and how it can't write information to it? So I figure fine, I'll try this...

Phase 1 I hook everything up as above. The directions for the controller card say to boot from cd or floppy when installing windows 2000. Then press f6 and point it to the cd-rom for the drivers. I booted off the CD (win2k with SP2 slipstreamed in). I couldn't specify the drivers because it...

Here I intend to chronicle my woes trying to get my maxtor 120GB working attached to the Silicon Image Controller. How I want to have it hooked it up: Onboard via southbridge controller PM: Pioneer DVD 105S PS: 250MB Zip SM: Verbatim (rebadge Liteon) CD-RW Silicon Image Controller PM: Maxtor...

Lost my original reply when I accidentally closed firebird. Absolutely - but that is a big 'if' -> everyone was frequenting SR. I'm all for just one site instead of two separate ones to check. Enabler has a negative connotation. I think it is apt in this situation. Read the article I...

I think I've adequately indicated why I am here. Now to the question of do I (we) actually want more people/traffic? Absolutely! I believe in a 'build it and they will come' approach. Sure you need some marketing but what you need first is a really valuable resource. Articles will be one way...

In the earlier similar thread, I said something along the lines of : you post where you will get good answers. That is why I post to storageforum. That is why I read storageforum. I do visit SR. I've learned to skim the topic list and pick only the interesting ones. This is a skill I...

Yes I read the project page. I really just wanted to know how it differs from a browsing perspective. Not the implementation differences, which a user wouldn't care about. Any place where that information is?

What is the difference between firebird and mozilla? I don't see as many options and the keep in memory thing isn't there either? I switched to firebird and I like the default theme. I was using pinball on the mozilla browser but didn't like the lackluster bookmark menu.

Oh and yes I pulled all the cards except video.

:( Primary Master Hard Disk Failed The problems varies from no hard drive detected to the drive detected but failing as above to just hanging. I've tried all the jumper settings. no jumper, single setting (horizontal), master, slave, cable select. I tried a different jumper. I tried both...

The jumper did look funky (horizontal) but it probably needed to be that way on the promise card. I'll pull the hard drive out and check the jumper tonight. I can't believe it is a conflict with anything since it all worked together without error for years now. And in its current...

Weird thing happened. I disconnected all my drives except for dvd drive and hard drive. The western digital was alone on its cable on an Promise Ultra33. I put it on the onboard controller. Couldn't find a 98 boot disk, so I broke out win2kpro. Created two partitions during setup, 2048 and...

Back when outlook had newsgroup support, it didn't really have newsgroup support. What it did was call outlook express with /newsonly flag. I still use that flag on my shortcuts so outlook express is just a newsreader and doesn't try to do e-mail.

How much is following worth? More than $20?

I can certainly blame the industry leader for lack of standards support in their product. Standards support needs to happen from browsers and web developers. http://www.webstandards.org/buzz/archive/2003_02.html#a000138

I have it setup in mozilla that I just type the search in the address bar and click the search icon to the left and I get the google results. This is built-in to mozilla.

Winning is a matter of opinion. Microsoft isn't going to fix the real bugs, the standards compliance problems. And without those fixed you are forcing web developers to use hacks and what not to get their web pages/applications to work correctly. Standards that have been out for years are still...

Since I can't use the favorites in the start menu to get to the netscape bookmarks, I double click on the mozilla icon in the system tray. Then I click bookmarks and go to select the one I want. However, sometimes it starts scrolling as if the mouse cursor was over the arrow. 3. Submitting...

I switched to Mozilla from IE and need to address some annoyances. Thought you guys might now of solutions. 1) Can't use windows favorites to manage favorites. 2) When opening bookmarks menu sometimes it seems to scroll even when I just opened it. As any more come up I'll post here.

I switched to Mozilla a couple of weeks ago from IE6. It renders faster than IE. Startup is a bit slower, even with the keep in memory thing. I'd suggest everybody that uses IE to at least try Mozilla.
