That error is suposed to be indicitive of a bad cable, but can also be caused by the drive receiving poor power or a number of other things. I'd reseat the cables and if that doesnt work try another IDE cable and power connector.

I'm not sure if you have control over this or not, but I just implemented mod_gzip compression on our internal website and it now uses roughly 1/3rd the bandwidth. With Apache you can implement this at the virtual server level or with a .htaccess file for specific directories. It took only a...

It does work well, but after getting on the DNC list I started receiving more calls from charities and gov't. I assume they got our number from the DNC list. ...on the other hand, perhaps I just notice them more now.

Agreed, I've used Coyote with good success... but it was on a 486.... However, i've upgraded to smoothwall and probably wouldn't go back. I'm hoping that USB pen drives will be the next "floppy" firewall. (Then you'd basically have a Linksys WRT-54G with more flexibility)

It's cirtainly true you can sue anyone for anythign you please, however finding a lawyer who will support you and having a case that will not be thrown out in seconds is a completely different matter.

Yeah, think I'll wait till they come out with the S-ATA version

yup

Almost every gigabit NIC supports jumbo frames, even the cheapest Realtek 8169 and Marvel Yukon.

That's what I did, dropped from the attic to the upstiars bedrooms and ran an outside run from basement to the attic. It actually goes well with 2 people and some way to communicate (FRS radio, cell phone, or cordless phones on the same line will work in a pinch) You only need some leviton...

Nothing this year, but I had good luck with a Radeon 9x00 VIVO card and some third party software from Intervideo called WinDVR. I've also used the ATi TV wonder (rebadged conexant PCI capture card which is as generic as you can get). The ATi hardware was actually very picky and the ATi...

I have the Netgear GS608 and noticed speeds are slightly slower using it vs a direct PC to PC connection. No hard numbers for you though. One oddity I had was using a length of CAT 6 cable caused traffic going one direction (only affected 1 direction) to go very slowly. Replacing the cable...

An external PSU is cheaper, user replaceable, and lowers engineering costs. The only downside is that it is more clumsy/less eligant.

It'll be interesting to see how Jack Black plays that role.

Probably an automatic firmware slowdown for all dual layer disks. If you flash the drive with a "no rip lock" firmware the drive will probably read at max capacity.

Since you didnt have to play w/ the router to get it working originally, I'll assume you have DHCP (automatic, no login, just plug and go) I would follow the instructions to reset the router to factory defaults using the reset button. Hook the router to the modem, PCs to the router. Turn modem...

backup post?

I would reset the router to factory defaults and see if the machines are pulling IP/DNS information from the router. what conneciton type is your DSL (DHCP, PPPoE, Static)?

by fs, I meant file system permissions. In the Windows world you have share permissions and file system permissions. The file system permissions are always in effect and can prevent access even if you have set the share access more lenient. The overall effect is that the share has the most...

I'm really enjoying this game Merc, thanks for bringing it to my attention. I have a level 8 on Pinnacle named "Fire Marshal"

I've heard that cats can get worms from this, but our Himalayan likes to do this too. I pretty much let our cats do what they enjoy and I like to see them happy so I let them hunt the bugs (sometimes spiders) and lizards (for our puppy cat that likes to venture outside) around here.

I was a bit hesitent recommending a 10k.7 after the reviews showed it slower than the 10k.6 in several aspects... what are your thoughts?

the search function on phpbb only indexes words that are 3 characters or more (used to be 4). This is likely the problem. I do not know how to fix this either.

I hate Active-X from a client and webmaster perspective, but if you need complex processing and have limited server potential (or your application makes it unrealistic to build such a powerful back end) it makes sense to go to some form of client end processing and Active-X is the only widely...

That would be a great case if only I had some S-ATA drives to populate it. Maybe it's time to get rid of the P-ATA 160GB disks and go for a 250-300GB S-ATA models.

no, royalties on DVI (for the connector) make VGA connector + DAC still cheaper. Plus there's the whole thing about what people will pay for a product, so even if it is cheaper to produce (Tape vs CD, Tape vs DVD, etc) people will still be willing to pay more for the better of the two...

ATi makes AMD chipset boards?? :eekers:

I'm suprised you're even considering anything outside of a PC Power and Cooling super silencer. They're right up your alley being "server" class and very quiet.

Looks like it exists under the chipset name yukon.. not sure if it is integrated into the kernel or not, but you can download the drivers from Marvell http://www.marvell.com/drivers/driverSearchResults.do

I'd be more inclined to go with a bit slower CPU if it would give me crucial or Kingston RAM. BTW, what software are you going to load on these things(OS, office, etc)?

Did you actually run memtest on the boards you are installign with? I'm still thinking faulty RAM or a RAM incompatibility is to blame on this one, but all the other suggestions have been great.

I haven't thoroughly read this thread, but I wanted to interject a point that was touched on above. The charger seems to make as much difference as the type of batteries you buy. A bad charger can easily overcharge or undercharge your batteries, so I can't recommend enough on getting a good...

Downloaded the demo and played a bit before work. Pretty fun, although not sure I understand the min requirements of either an FX 5700 or an Ati 8500.... those cards are over a generation apart. I have a FX 5600 w/ 256MB RAM... the 5600 seems to be a red-headed stepchild as it is not even...

I imagine Merc's comments will be good here. I have a shuttle box in my living room and an all in wonder card w/ ATi remote. The ATi software is actually lacking in several respects. The best Windows software I found was snapstream. It is not free, but it looks to be worth the money being...

Looks like I got the ZM80C-HP, a little bit lighter weight and less flashy model. http://www.zalmanusa.com/usa/product/view.asp?idx=46&code=013

I got a Zalman similar to this at microcenter for my GeforceFX 5600 several months back. Works great, didn't even have to adjust my GPU clock rate.

I think this is what you are looking for: http://soluveb.com/devedgedownloads/ CoreReferenceJS15.zip and CoreGuideJS15.zip

And you might get lucky wiht the way back machine http://web.archive.org/web/*/http://developer.netscape.com/library/documentation/communicator/jsref/index.htm

This is a pretty good reference, but seems like it probably only includes the same things as in Merc's link http://www.devguru.com/Technologies/ecmascript/quickref/js_methods.html

I would suggest using the built in Windows drivers from Microsoft. They perform well and you should not notice a problem.

I'm looking forward to a dual core board with PCI-e. I'm also waiting atleast 6 mon to a year before I upgrade my AthlonXP 2400. Hoping that this will help lessen the chances of bus with early PCI-e implementations and the x2 processor/mobo combos. I can't imagine that a quad core CPU would be...

I'll probably get one.

Friend of mine just got a new PC because his old Athlon 850 Gateway2000 PC had leaky capacitors... they actually hissed as well.

That's good to hear. I recommended one to a friend and was about to pick up a few myself when they were on sale at microcenter the other week. But I missed out by a few days. Their features and price make them pretty attractive compared to an APC or Tripp-lite alternative.

The OPTI-UPS LS960B from newegg is cheaper than the APC, has a higher rating, and has AVR, which means it is probably a line-interactive UPS versus the standby UPS that the APC unit appears to be. Having a line interactive UPS will also protect you against power sags, not just the surges and...

just a dab of hot glue can do wonders for those connectors...
